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...

Book Synopsis Birthing Outside the System by : Hannah Dahlen
Download or read book Birthing Outside the System written by Hannah Dahlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates why women choose ‘birth outside the system’ and makes connections between women’s right to choose where they birth and violations of human rights within maternity care systems. Choosing to birth at home can force women out of mainstream maternity care, despite research supporting the safety of this option for low-risk women attended by midwives. When homebirth is not supported as a birthplace option, women will defy mainstream medical advice, and if a midwife is not available, choose either an unregulated careprovider or birth without assistance. This book examines the circumstances and drivers behind why women nevertheless choose homebirth by bringing legal and ethical perspectives together with the latest research on high-risk homebirth (breech and twin births), freebirth, birth with unregulated careproviders and the oppression of midwives who support unorthodox choices. Stories from women who have pursued alternatives in Australia, Europe, Russia, the UK, the US, Canada, the Middle East and India are woven through the research. Insight and practical strategies are shared by doctors, midwives, lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists on how to manage the tension between professional obligations and women’s right to bodily autonomy. This book, the first of its kind, is an important contribution to considerations of place of birth and human rights in childbirth.

Book Synopsis Identifying and Supporting Pregnant Aboriginal Women and Their Families During Their Patient Journey Through Services and Across Geographical Areas by :
Download or read book Identifying and Supporting Pregnant Aboriginal Women and Their Families During Their Patient Journey Through Services and Across Geographical Areas written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the feasibility of an integrated pathway model of care for Aboriginal women in Western Australia during pregnancy. There are significant gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in maternal and infant health outcomes, and the lack of documented patient transfer models for journey planning through antenatal, birthing and postnatal, and primary care may have a role. This report features a literature review, an audit of Australian practices on journey planning, and interviews with key stakeholders and service providers, in order to define criteria for at risk pregnant Aboriginal women, to understand the current system of identification and referral, to identify the barriers and enablers to supported journeys, and to determine the feasibility of an across-agency pathway model of care.
Book Synopsis The Role of the Nurse Practitioner in the Implementation of Group Prenatal Visits for Aboriginal Women by : Rona Loewen
Download or read book The Role of the Nurse Practitioner in the Implementation of Group Prenatal Visits for Aboriginal Women written by Rona Loewen and published by . 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.
