Nursing Theory of Ramona T. Mercer: Maternal Role Attainment - Becoming a Mother The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the role of the labor and delivery nurse to the “maternal role attainment - becoming a mother” model. The model (MRA) was proposed by nursing theorist Ramona T. Mercer in 1991 to guide nurses in implementing the nursing process while providing care to the non-traditional mother. Revised in 1995 to “Becoming a Mother”, this model soon proved useful for

Introduction: In people, routine mother-infant partition not long after birth is extraordinary to the twentieth century. This practice wanders from transformative history, where neonatal survival relied on upon close and for all intents and purposes constant maternal contact. In spite of the fact that from a developmental point of view skin-to-skin contact
Abstract Maternal sepsis is preventable, yet remains the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, according to a study published in 2013 (Acosta & Knight, 2013). Early recognition of symptoms and implementation of correct treatment is key to prevent mortality. A break in nursing education can prevent prompt treatment to patients. Given that pregnant women are more vulnerable to infection and susceptible to serious complications, makes a clear understanding of maternal sepsis imperative (Joseph
May 2016 Maternal Mortality in Developing Countries Around the world, 830 women die every day from preventable complications during pregnancy and delivery (“Maternal mortality” 1). A death during a pregnancy or within 42 days of delivery is referred to as a maternal death (Semba and Bloem 34). The issue of maternal death in developing countries is an often unaddressed and urgent need. Things like poverty, a lack of access to quality healthcare, and cultural practices are causing maternal mortality

For my literature review paper, I plan to go into depth on the importance of mother infant bonding after birth and why it is such a crucial thing that has to take place. I chose to research this question because as I was doing my internship, I learned so many amazing things I previously did not already know about how significant the connection is for a mother and her baby is in those important minutes after labor. I was shocked to learn some things that had never occurred to me before and it has
Advantages of Cuddle Care Early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) begins ideally at birth and involves placing the naked newborn, covered across the back with a warm blanket, prone on the mother’s bare chest. According to mammalian neuroscience, “The intimate contact inherent in this place (habitat) evokes neurobehaviors ensuring fulfillment of basic biological needs. This time may represent a psychophysiology (which is the way the body and mind work together) ‘sensitive period’ for programing future behavior”
its physical repercussions: "Many times she had pushed me off her lap complaining that my sitting there would cause varicose veins" (28). Isabel's presence was against her mother's own youth, and femininity. In essence, Isabel was unauthorized maternal intimacy. And while Isabel wanted some kind of corporeal interaction with her mother, she did not receive it positively. She did not authorize a particular kind of intimacy either: molestation. When Isabel was an infant—vulnerable, unable

second one was made out of wire and carried the milk that would feed the monkeys. Monkeys responded to the stimuli of the terry cloth mother in such a way that it overshadowed the purpose of mother?s milk and put close contact as the main principle of nursing. The infant monkeys were expected to be conditioned to the wire monkey and respond to their instinct of survival first. But the study showed that the monkeys valued tactile stimulation more than they did nourishment, preferring to cling to the mothers
