Abstract
although the majority of participants practice ICR at planned home births, very few use this practice in the hospital setting. In the home, ergonomics is the primary obstacle for easily practicing ICR; hospital culture, protocols and lack of training are additional barriers to this practice in the hospital setting. Ergonomics and lack of appropriate set up in the delivery room were also primary obstacles. Midwives expressed a desire to find ways to incorporate ICR into the hospital setting.
