Book excerpt: The Aboriginal Families Study is investigating the views and experiences of women on pregnancy, birthing and postnatal services in South Australia. Participants were recruited from women giving birth to an Aboriginal baby in South Australia between July 2011 and June 2013. This report presents preliminary findings from the study, focusing on measures of health system performance and the social determinants of health: such as place of residence and access to transport. It also compares care provided by mainstream health services with those under the Aboriginal Family Birthing Program. Results are presented for the first 130 women to take part in the study. The initial implications for policy and practice are also discussed.

Book excerpt: Traditional midwifery, culture, customs, understandings, and meanings surrounding pregnancy and birth are grounded in distinct epistemologies and worldviews that have sustained Indigenous women and their families since time immemorial. Years of colonization, however, have impacted the degree to which women have choice in the place and ways they carry and deliver their babies. As nations such as Canada became colonized, traditional gender roles were seen as an impediment. The forced rearrangement of these gender roles was highly disruptive to family structures. Indigenous women quickly lost the.

Download or read book Maternal and Child Health written by John Ehiri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-03 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current era of globalization, war, and socioeconomic unrest has revealed public health as a worldwide concern and a major frontier for social justice with maternal and child health at its epicenter. Yet, there has been a relative scarcity of training resources specifically dedicated to this crucial area. "Maternal and Child Health: Global Challenges, Programs, and Policies" addresses this gap in current knowledge by analyzing the range of socioeconomic and environmental factors, health care disparities, politics, policies, and cultural practices that impact the health and safety of mothers, as well as the well-being and optimum development of their children. Individual sections focus on unequal distribution of the world’s resources, politics and power, specific disease concerns, programs, policies and emerging concerns with a focus on what is currently being done, and what needs to be done to improve the health status of women, children, and adolescents. The book’s contributors are some of the world’s most respected experts, carefully selected to represent different global geographic regions and diverse professional disciplines related to maternal and child health from both academic and field practice perspectives. Among the topics in this authoritative volume: The impact of war, globalization, gender inequity, and harmful traditional practices (e.g., female genital mutilation). Specific health concerns, including tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, and malnutrition. Child and adolescent health issues, from abuse and neglect to children in difficult circumstances. Pregnancy-related issues: safety, abortion and post-abortion care, teen pregnancy, and more. Strategies for planning, developing, and maintaining maternal and child health systems in developing countries. The status of global initiatives, such as Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses and the Millennium Development Goals. The status of evidence-based maternal and child health in the developing world. With such a wealth of information on both practical and conceptual levels, "Maternal and Child Health: Global Challenges, Programs, and Policies" is as relevant to students and researchers in the field as it is to policy makers and those working for global health and development organizations. It also makes an excellent stand-alone text for courses in global health in general and global maternal and child health in particular.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reproductive Justice, sociologist Barbara Gurr provides the first analysis of Native American women’s reproductive healthcare and offers a sustained consideration of the movement for reproductive justice in the United States. The book examines the reproductive healthcare experiences on Pine Ridge Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota Nation in South Dakota—where Gurr herself lived for more than a year. Gurr paints an insightful portrait of the Indian Health Service (IHS)—the federal agency tasked with providing culturally appropriate, adequate healthcare to Native Americans—shedding much-needed light on Native American women’s efforts to obtain prenatal care, access to contraception, abortion services, and access to care after sexual assault. Reproductive Justice goes beyond this local story to look more broadly at how race, gender, sex, sexuality, class, and nation inform the ways in which the government understands reproductive healthcare and organizes the delivery of this care. It reveals why the basic experience of reproductive healthcare for most Americans is so different—and better—than for Native American women in general, and women in reservation communities particularly. Finally, Gurr outlines the strengths that these communities can bring to the creation of their own reproductive justice, and considers the role of IHS in fostering these strengths as it moves forward in partnership with Native nations. Reproductive Justice offers a respectful and informed analysis of the stories Native American women have to tell about their bodies, their lives, and their communities.

Download or read book Women's Health in Canada written by Marina Morrow and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-05-03 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, healthcare professionals have recognized the distinctly different healthcare needs and concerns of men and women. Women's health, in particular, has come into its own in the last two decades. In Canada, however, there has been little available in the way of a general text on women's health. This volume works toward filling that gap by providing a resource for teaching and understanding women's health in this country. To lay out the methodological and theoretical foundations for their study, editors Olena Hankivisky, Marina Morrow, and Colleen Varcoe bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners from economics, anthropology, sociology, nursing, political studies, women's studies, and psychology. Contributors draw on the rich history of the Canadian women's health movement, providing analysis of that history and of the emergent theory, policy, and practice. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students as well as practitioners, the collection adopts an intersectional approach, looking closely at social factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and gender identity, and analysing how they relate both to each other and to women's health. Connections between the social, economic, and cultural contexts of women's lives and their physical, spiritual, and mental well-being are a primary focus. Providing a much needed resource for teachers, students, and practitioners of women's health in Canada, this comprehensive volume makes an important contribution to the literature.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nurse practitioners in British Columbia have an opportunity to introduce an innovative model of prenatal care for Aboriginal women. BC Aboriginal women are at greater risk for pregnancy complications than non-Aboriginal women are. Prenatal care has traditionally offered standardized individual visits for every pregnant woman, regardless of their needs, preferences, or culture. Nurse practitioner (NP)-facilitated group prenatal visits (GPVs) have the potential to provide culturally relevant and accessible prenatal care. An integrative review of the literature demonstrates that by using the Centering Pregnancy model of group prenatal care, NPs can provide relevant, holistic, and safe GPVs. Group prenatal visits can improve the experience of prenatal care for Aboriginal women in British Columbia. Further research is recommended to explore the outcomes of NP-facilitated GPVs and define culturally relevant and safe prenatal care according to BC Aboriginal women."--P. 2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joints and Connective Tissues - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series. In order to diagnose and manage the patient presenting with musculoskeletal symptoms, it is important to distinguish whether the pathology is arising primarily in the so-called hard tissues (such as bone) or the soft tissues (such as cartilage, disc, synovium, capsule, muscle, tendon, tendon sheath). It is also important to distinguish between the two most common causes of musculoskeletal symptoms, namely inflammatory and degenerative.

This book was released on 2018-12-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious sourcebook surveys both the traditional basis for and the present state of indigenous women’s reproductive health in Mexico and Central America. Noted practitioners, specialists, and researchers take an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the multiple barriers for access and care to indigenous women that had been complicated by longstanding gender inequities, poverty, stigmatization, lack of education, war, obstetrical violence, and differences in language and customs, all of which contribute to unnecessary maternal morbidity and mortality. Emphasis is placed on indigenous cultures and folkways—from traditional midwives and birth attendants to indigenous botanical medication and traditional healing and spiritual practices—and how they may effectively coexist with modern biomedical care. Throughout these chapters, the main theme is clear: the rights of indigenous women to culturally respective reproductive health care and a successful pregnancy leading to the birth of healthy children. A sampling of the topics: Motherhood and modernization in a Yucatec village Maternal morbidity and mortality in Honduran Miskito communities Solitary birth and maternal mortality among the Rarámuri of Northern Mexico Maternal morbidity and mortality in the rural Trifino region of Guatemala The traditional Ngäbe-Buglé midwives of Panama Characterizations of maternal death among Mayan women in Yucatan, Mexico Unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and unmet need in Guatemala Maternal Death and Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women of Mexico and Central America is designed for anthropologists and other social scientists, physicians, nurses and midwives, public health specialists, epidemiologists, global health workers, international aid organizations and NGOs, governmental agencies, administrators, policy-makers, and others involved in the planning and implementation of maternal and reproductive health care of indigenous women in Mexico and Central America, and possibly other geographical areas.

Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Introduction: Australian Aboriginal people do not experience the same health as Australian non- Aboriginal people. The Australian universal health care is not universally provided in rural and remote locations of Australia. Diabetes in pregnancy adds further to the health gap for Australian Aboriginal people. Methodology A systematic review for all Indigenous women with diabetes in pregnancy was completed. Quantitative research used the Western Australian Midwifery Notification Database, 2000-2007. The data analysis included maternal descriptive analysis, place of birth and maternal and infant health outcomes. The data analysis included time trends over the eight years for health outcomes. A final comparison of Caucasian and Aboriginal maternal health outcomes, with maternal diabetes present was completed between birthing health regions. Using qualitative research methodology midwives recruited participants who lived in Western Australia and attended Aboriginal Medical Services antenatal clinics with diabetes in pregnancy, at varying stages of their pregnancy or postnatally. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, the resulting themes and subthemes were presented to supporting Aboriginal communities to confirm accuracy and reliability of the data. Results: From 142 potential studies a total 42 peer reviewed journal articles were included in the systematic review. Gestational diabetes mellitus prevalence in 65% of studies was greater for Indigenous and Aboriginal women than the comparison group. Of the studies 86% reported higher macrosomia prevalence and 63% had higher stillbirth rates. A total of 210,883 births to WA women were analysed. With maternal diabetes, Aboriginal infant's birth weight increases and stillbirth rate is 22/1000 for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and 53/1000 for pre-existing diabetes while for Caucasian infant's birth weight decreases and stillbirth rate is 3/1000 for GDM and 11/1000 for pre-existing diabetes In all nine participants were interview up to three separate occasions. Aboriginal women negotiate many demands both family and community, however with diabetes in pregnancy there is an imposed demand from health professionals. Aboriginal women use logistical skills to attempt to meet all the demands placed on them. Discussion: Aboriginal women who become pregnant with a diabetes complication are disadvantaged in access to quality antenatal care. They are further disadvantage due to the inequity of diabetes educational services, resulting in poor glycemic control before, during and after the pregnancy. Further, Aboriginal infants born to mothers with diabetes in pregnancy, have worse health outcomes particularly stillbirth. Conclusion: There is currently a need for an international study of Indigenous women with diabetes in pregnancy to determine accurately gestational diabetes mellitus and preexisting diabetes prevalence rates. Health service planning and service provision of antenatal care for women with diabetes in pregnancy, are based on prevalence rates determined from research, yet for Indigenous women the research has many limitations...
