The purpose of this study is to identify the methods used by midwives to convert fetuses with breech presentation to cephalic presentation and how they feel about performing these methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study employs a descriptive exploratory qualitative design. Individual in\u2010depth interviews were conducted with 10 midwives who had previously performed interventions to convert the foetus from breech presentation to cephalic presentation. The \u02bbthematic analysis\u02bc method was used to analyse the data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The data were categorised under five themes; methods used, common care elements, concerns, barriers, and outcomes of the midwifery practices. Midwives use external versions, mental practices, and physical practices for the conversion of the foetus with a breech presentation. Despite the reporting of some barriers and concerns, the midwives also reported positive outcomes such as increased chances of vaginal birth, positive birth perception, bonding, professional satisfaction, and maternal sense of satisfaction\/adequacy with the use of methods. The study findings will provide guidance for midwives.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Midwives employ different methods for the conversion of the breech presentation. Despite encountering some barriers and concerns regarding the utilisation of methods, they reported positive outcomes. It is recommended to strengthen the evidence base regarding these practices, and that midwives and nurses provide necessary information to pregnant women with breech presentation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.70245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,20]],"date-time":"2025-08-20T06:10:46Z","timestamp":1755670246000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Midwifery Practices for the Conversion of Foetus With Breech Presentation: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7087-9220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menek\u015fe Nazl\u0131","family":"Aker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara University Faculty of Nursing Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6834-1010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilknur M\u00fcnevver","family":"G\u00f6nen\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara University Faculty of Nursing Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","article-title":"External Cephalic Version for Breech Presentation at Term","volume":"2015","author":"Hofmeyr G.
