The Moral Skills and Professional Attitude of Midwives

The Pedagogical Implications of the Moral Attitude of Stanisława Leszczyńska, a Midwife from Auschwitz-Birkenau

Abstract

The cognitive aim of the study is to show the importance of moral skills for the professional attitude of midwives in extreme social situations. The research project was carried out using the example of the midwifery care provided by Stanisława Leszczyńska to women giving birth in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The research methods used were analysis, synthesis and case study. Formally and materially, the article fits into the sub-discipline of pedagogical biographical studies. The main conclusion of the research confirms that coherent moral attitudes in extreme situations result from the process of self-education in the area of specific moral skills. It is suggested that the relevance of pedagogical areteology in vocational training and education should be restored.
