Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
Download or read book Where There is No Midwife written by Sarah Pinto and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh, an agricultural region with high rates of infant mortality, maternal health services are poor while family planning efforts are intensive. By following the daily lives of women in this setting, the author considers the women's own experiences of birth and infant death, their ways of making-do, and the hierarchies they create and contend with. This book develops an approach to the care that focuses on emotion, domestic spaces, illicit and extra-institutional biomedicine, and household and neighborly relations that these women are able to access. It shows that, as part of the concatenation of affect and access, globalized moralities about reproduction are dependent on ambiguous ideas about caste. Through the unfolding of birth and death, a new vision of "untouchability" emerges that is integral to visions of progress."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maternal and Child Health including Family Planning is an area of major concern in the health care delivery system in Ghana. Between 60 and 70% of pregnant women see a midwife at least twice before confinement. However, less than 50% of all deliveries are supervised by trained health personnel. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth have therefore remained major causes of ill-health and death in Ghana today.

Download or read book Midwives written by Chris Bohjalian and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-08-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • This modern classic from the author of The Flight Attendant is a compulsively readable novel that explores questions of human responsibility that are as fundamental to our society now as they were when the book was first published. A selection of Oprah's original Book Club that has sold more than two million copies. On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby’s life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if—as Sibyl's assistant later charges—the patient wasn't already dead? The ensuing trial bears the earmarks of a witch hunt, forcing Sibyl to face the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience. Exploring the complex and emotional decisions surrounding childbirth, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!

Download or read book Becoming a Midwife in the 21st Century written by Ian Peate and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NMC have produced standards of proficiency for pre registration midwifery education and those standards have been written in an “academic” language, for higher education institutions. Each student prior to being admitted to the profession must have achieved the proficiencies stated in the NMC publication. The purpose of this book is to provide students with material related to the standards of midwifery education. The students will be able to use the contents of this text and relate it to their own approved programme of midwifery study, as their programme of study would have had to comply with NMC’s requirements. It will help student midwives appreciate how their own programmes have been designed, and why they are required to study and understand some of the subjects they are, or will be studying.
Download or read book Manual for Teaching Midwives Classic Reprint written by Anita M. Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual for Teaching Midwives This manual was prepared by Anita M. Jones, R. N nurse-midwife, assistant director of the Maternity Center Association, New York City, for the use of nurse-midwives and others responsible for the supervision and instruction of untrained midwives under the auspices of State and local health departments, to teach them: (1) to use aseptic techniques; (2) never to interfere with the delivery of the baby; (3) to call the doctor at the first sign of danger. As the number of women being delivered by untrained midwives, though considerable, is reported to be steadily decreasing, this plan of instruction for midwives is directed only toward meeting the acute need for improving the standards of the untrained midwives now practicing until they can be replaced by nurse-midwives or physicians. Thus it may have a place in improving the maternity care offered in a transition period, while efforts continue toward putting into practice throughout the United States a standard of maternity care that calls for skilled medical and nursing services for every mother, or at least the services of the nurse-midwife in localities for which it is not practicable to provide skilled medical services. It is hoped that this manual will assist the nurse-midwife in the technical teaching and supervision which she gives to the practicing mid wives who have not had special training and preparation. It is not in any way a textbook on midwifery, nor can the classes for midwives that are based on it be considered as courses in midwifery. It is written simply, with frequent use of colloquial terms, so that the nurse-midwife will be able to present her instructions in language that the midwife will understand - the midwife who is without training and without formal education, who often can neither read nor write.

Download or read book Knowing by Doing written by Brigitte Jordan and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most countries of the Third World, strategies for development in the health sector include efforts to upgrade the skills of village level health care workers, including traditional birth attendants (TBAs). In spite of several decades of experience, training programs for TBAs have not been particularly successful. Drawing on data from several years of ethnographic fieldwork with Maya midwives in Yucatan and on participation in government-sponsored training courses for indigenous midwives, this paper examines some of the reasons underlying this failure. Paramount among these is the misapplication of didactic modes of teaching in situations where learning in the apprenticeship mode is more appropriate and culturally customary.
