Active management of the third stage of labour is routine in delivery suites. New South Wales (NSW) Health has a policy which prescribes active management because medically designed randomised controlled trials have claimed a reduced blood loss in third stage with active, compared with 'physiological', management. In home and birth centre settings however, physiological third stage is common as women who access these settings prefer to labour without medical intervention and midwives who work in these settings adopt a holistic approach to working with women. The holistic approach is psychophysiological as the midwife engages with and supports integration of the woman's spirit, mind and body in her childbearing process.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2019.
All research outputs

of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,297,219 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,450 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 150,599 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
