Abstract

This study analyzes the role of midwives in health promotion from sociological and anthropological perspectives. Midwives, as frontline healthcare professionals, function not only as clinical practitioners but also as social agents and cultural intermediaries within the community. From a sociological perspective, this study examines how social structures, power relations, and the social positioning of midwives influence the effectiveness of health communication and the dissemination of health-related information. From an anthropological perspective, the study investigates the ability of midwives to negotiate and integrate modern biomedical systems with local healing practices, traditional beliefs, and socio-cultural values associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and maternal care. The findings demonstrate that the effectiveness of health promotion conducted by midwives is substantially influenced by the availability of social capital and the capacity to apply culturally responsive approaches in healthcare practices. Midwives who are capable of incorporating local cultural values into health services tend to establish stronger trust and social legitimacy within the community. Nevertheless, significant challenges emerge when formal healthcare policies and biomedical standards encounter resistance from local traditions and culturally embedded beliefs that continue to persist within society. This study concludes that strengthening the role of midwives in health promotion requires a comprehensive understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics of local communities in order to encourage sustainable health behavior transformation. Furthermore, the findings of this study have been disseminated through a published book entitled Psychosocial Aspects of Reproductive Health, with ISBN 978-634-97007-1-9.
