“…Our multi‐stakeholder research approach contributed to gain understanding of which elements of transitional support are most important, contributing to creation of information relevant to midwives and childbearing women [43]. The heterogeneous group of experts reached consensus in two rounds, suggesting shared values and objectives regarding transitional support among the experts [44]. Additionally, the diverse expert panel represents the population being at the centre or involved in transition to motherhood, therefore improving the quality, usefulness, usability, applicability, and acceptability of our findings.…”

ObjectiveTo reach consensus between care providers and childbearing women about the midwife's relevant and appropriate domains and elements to support transition to motherhood.MethodsA modified web‐based Delphi study was conducted in Flanders (Belgium). After performing a systematic literature review, searching the grey literature and an online poll, a set of 79 items was generated. In two rounds, the items were presented to an expert panel of (1) care providers from various disciplines providing services to childbearing women and (2) to pregnant women and postpartum women up to 1‐year postpartum. Consensus was defined when 70% or more of the experts scored ≥6, 5% or less scored ≤3, and a standard deviation of ≤1.1.FindingsIn the first Delphi round, 91 experts reached consensus on 24 items. Seventeen round one items that met one or two consensus objectives were included in round two and were scored by 64 panel experts, reaching consensus on three additional items. The final 27 items covered seven domains: attributes, liaison, management of care from a woman‐centred perspective, management of care from the midwife's focus, informational support, relational support, and the midwife's competencies.ConclusionThe shared understanding between childbearing women and care providers shows that the midwife's transitional support is multifaceted. Our findings offer midwives a standard of care, criteria, guidance, and advice on how they can support childbearing women during transition to motherhood, beyond the existing recommendations and current provision of transitional care.

“…Previous literature on commissions of inquiry has argued that successful negotiation of compromise presupposes that a commission contains policy stakeholders (and politicians) from multiple sides of the issue (Pronin 2020). When governments use policy advisory commissions to negotiate compromise, they typically select commission members to represent various factions or interested parties, usually in a deliberately bipartisan or counterbalanced fashion (Cartwright 1975).…”

“…Although it would seem that such commissions would struggle to reach compromise, they have in practice been surprisingly effective in producing unanimous policy recommendations (Tama 2014). In fact, Pronin (2020) suggests that commissions with a diverse ideological range of stakeholders may be better at producing unanimous policy recommendations than more narrowly representative commissions. This is because more representative commissions are more effective in producing information relevant to successful policy implementation.…”

This article studies recent trends in the composition and uses of Swedish commissions of inquiry in preparing policy for the government. For much of the 20th century, commissions with representatives of major parliamentary parties and other policy stakeholders served as an arena of negotiation and compromise between the government, the opposition parties, and organised interests. Drawing on a unique data set of 2,087 commissions appointed between 1990 and 2016, we show that their representativeness has declined significantly. We also document a significant decrease in the inclusion of politicians and an increase in the presence of civil servants. Governments have also increased their control over commissions by issuing more directives. We further document a dramatic decline of reservations and dissenting opinions in the commission reports. This may be due to a combination of including fewer potentially dissenting voices and restricting commissions' scope. We conclude that commissions are no longer the arenas of compromise‐seeking that they were for most of the 20th century.
