This extensively revised, eighth edition has been written with the philosophy that the acquisition of clinical skills is most effectively undertaken at the bedside.

Download or read book Decent Working Time written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including international comparative analysis alongside national case studies, this volume offers a wealth of information on the new trends which have emerged over the past decades - all of which were discussed at the recent 9th International Symposium on Working Time, Paris (2004). It looks at the increasing use of results-based employment relationships for managers and professionals, and the increasing fragmentation of time to more closely tailor staffing needs to customer requirements (e.g., short-hours, part-time work). Moreover, as operating/opening hours rapidly expand toward a 24-hour and 7-day economy, the book considers how this has resulted in a growing diversification, decentralization, and individualization of working hours, as well as an increasing tension between enterprises' business requirements and workers' needs and preferences regarding their hours. This new reality has raised some other challenging issues as well and the volume addresses those such as increasing employment insecurity and instability, time-related social inequalities, particularly in relation to gender, workers' ability to balance their paid work with their personal lives, and even the synchronization of working hours with social times, such as community activities.

Download or read book Midwifery and the Medicalization of Childbirth written by Edwin R. Van Teijlingen and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the sociological study of midwifery. The readings have been selected to highlight the interplay between midwifery and medicine, reflecting the medicalization of childbirth. It highlights the major themes in both a historical and a current context, as well as western and non-western societies. Two major themes underlie the organization of this book: that the conception of midwifery must be broadened to encompass a sociological perspective; and that the ongoing trend toward the medicalization of midwifery is crucial to an understanding of the historical, current, and future status of midwifery. By medicalization of childbirth and midwifery the author mean the increasing tendency for women to prefer a hospital delivery to a home delivery, the increasing trend toward the use of technology and clinical intervention in childbirth, and the determination of medical practitioners to confine the role played by midwives in pregnancy and childbirth, if any, to a purely subordinate one.

Download or read book Facteurs influen ant le devenir de l allaitement maternel lors de la reprise de l activit professionnelle de la m re written by Stéphanie Bonetto-Cadoret and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBJECTIFS : Explorer les facteurs influençant la décision de poursuivre ou non l'allaitement maternel, lors de la reprise du travail avant les 6 mois de l'enfant. Identifier les attentes des mères vis-à-vis des professionnels de santé. METHODE : Enquête qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés individuels de mères allaitantes, reprenant leur activité professionnelle avant les 6 mois de leur enfant et travaillant dans les Alpes-Maritimes, durant la période d'avril à juin 2014. RESULTATS : Des facteurs intrinsèques motivaient ou non les mères : leurs connaissances, croyances et représentations sur l'allaitement et sur les moyens de le poursuivre en travaillant ; leur attitude et leurs intentions vis-à-vis de l'allaitement, de la relation mère-enfant et de l'expression de lait maternel ; leurs représentations issues de leur culture d'origine ; leurs expériences actuelles et antérieures d'allaitement. Des facteurs extrinsèques pouvaient soutenir ou menacer la poursuite de l'allaitement : l'attitude du père, de l'entourage et de l'environnement socioculturel ; le partage avec d'autres mères ; les conditions d'emploi facilitant ou non l'expression du lait maternel, le temps total et la flexibilité du travail, l'attitude de l'employeur et des collègues ; le discours médical et l'attitude des soignants. La décision des mères pouvait évoluer, selon un continuum allaitement exclusif - allaitement partiel - sevrage, à la lumière de nouvelles connaissances, des difficultés expérimentées et du soutien rencontré. Les mères attendaient des soignants écoute empathique, informations adaptées, respect et accompagnement compétent de leur choix. CONCLUSION : Les facteurs influençant le choix des mères actives sur le devenir de l'allaitement sont multiples, offrant plusieurs axes d'approche pour la promotion de la poursuite de l'allaitement lors de la reprise du travail : respect du Code du travail, modification du regard culturel sur l'allaitement, participation du père aux informations, orientation vers des groupes de soutien à l'allaitement, accompagnement compétent et ajusté par les soignants.
