Research Study Design And Methodology

Provide full antenatal care including the screening tests in the hospital, community and at home.

This article analyzed the positive experiences of twelve individuals who had visible differences (Egan et al 2011, p. 739). This study discovered four main elements that helped people to interpret their related experiences in a positive way. Generally, it can be seen that the authors applied interpretive social science (Neuman 2006, p. 87) to produce this study to capture participants’ experiences and feelings. There are some advantages that can be yielded by utilizing this perspective. Firstly, the authors were able to understand individuals’ different social lives. The complex social factors can be extracted to interpret participants’ feelings and emotions from their personal experiences. It was

Early prenatal care is extremely important for the future baby's health. Although prenatal care is funded by the Provincial and Federal Governement, not all women receive prenatal care on Prince Edward Island. This could be as simple as not being able to get transportation to

This report will evaluate the roles and responsibilities of a midwife. “Midwifery encompasses care of women during pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period, as well as care of the new-born.”(WHO, 2015) This is a recent definition and clearly points out that a midwife has many roles and responsibilities. The NMC Codes of Conduct will be evaluated with specific emphasis on recent changes within healthcare. These changes took place as a result of the tragedies at Mid-Staffordshire Hospital in 2005-2009 and are the outcome of the Francis report in order to improve care given to patients.

From the results, it is evident that the interventions were effective in increasing ANC coverage and improving other pregnancy related issues that emerged as a result of lack of or insufficient ANC. They addressed the common problems that affected the utilization of ANC, these included: maternal knowledge, accessibility to health care facilities and financial difficulties. Accordingly, as doctors and future practitioners, it is imperative that as we provide maternal and antenatal care, we structure the health care services we provide around the patient and cater to a patient's individual preferences, needs and concerns. We are advised to accommodate the patient as much as we can, which means providing them with care that is specific to them

○ This study was done because immigrant do not have enough knowledge about pregnancy and proper contraception use, males have multiple sex partners, afraid of deportation, uninsured, poverty, discrimination, and lack of healthcare resources

Cultural differences are also an important aspect of the critical incident as mother was from a Pakistan and had recently moved to England. Emma was from Pakistan has had only been in the country for a year and was finding it difficult to adjust and integrate into her community.. According to research migrant women experience feelings of great sadness, vulnerability, loneliness, isolation and wishing for family members to be around during the perinatal period (Drennan and Joseph, 2005). Emma did not know about the services available in the community such as children centres and sure start for support and had to be sign posted by the health visitor to these services. Gender and ethnicity are important factors which influence the vulnerability of a person. As a woman from Pakistan origin, motherhood signifies your importance and value in the society. Barns and Maple (1992) show how women hope that motherhood can give them identity and value as women.

According to studies, Asian mothers do not attend frequently at postnatal and antenatal clinics and this explains the reason they have high rates of stillbirths and infant mortality (Kirby et al.2000). However, it can be argued that the reasons for the low attendance is because of not having transport to go to the hospital, language or educational barriers and these problems that they encounter are hardly discussed (Kirby et al., 2000). Factors such as where you live, whether you own a car and working hours can all affect access to

A quantitive-descriptive research study will be implemented for the process of the project. This would utilize simple surveys and measurements to obtain the data in the school that will be observed, defining this project as quasi-experimental. An explanatory theoretical framework would be preferable for this project because the goal is to try and change the issue of vegetable and legume consumption in young children. These changes will be slow as changing instilled behaviors of individuals can prove to be difficult. By using this framework, the researcher can use this to explain to parents, the pediatric participants, and involved individuals why the changes are desirable in the community and what kind of positive outcomes

1. Monitoring and evaluating health status – One of the important programs conducted by my practicum cite is Women, Infants and Children program. WIC is a federal assistance program for health care and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breast feeding women, and infants and children aged less than 5 years. Through WIC program women and children get nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support and health education.

Births attended by Birth Connections take place in-hospital in the Labor and Delivery suites at Self Regional Healthcare. Birth Connections operates in accordance with the American College of Nurse-midwives, the ACNM, and supports their goal of providing women with a safe, positive childbirth experience. They advocate a low technology approach to labor that includes intermittent auscultation of fetal heart sounds instead of continuous monitoring, non pharmacological methods for pain relief, and freedom of movement of the mother during labor. Births attended by Lexington Women’s Care’s OB/GYN’s take place in-hospital at Lexington Medical Center in private labor and delivery suites. They use the traditional method of fetal monitoring, IV antibiotics and Oxytocin (if necessary), periodic physical examination, and manually rupturing the amniotic sac (if necessary) to encourage labor and delivery to progress more quickly. Although this is the traditional method, there are other options such as having a doula present for labor support or refusing pain medication in order to experience a more natural birthing process. Both methods of care have their perks, such as the option of having a natural

This program was developed to expand training for nursing, medical students, residents and family planning fellows to increase patient access in vulnerable populations in the immediate or early post-abortion or post-partum periods ( Finer said. These methods, such as the levonorgestrel and copper IUD and birth control implants, are associated with failure rates of less than 1%, while the failure rates of birth control pills and condoms are about 9% and 18%,

In order to explain the importance of effective ANC towards maternal and child health, community health education and communication programs are needed to promote ANC and the right time of booking. Although findings confirm the importance of ANC for better maternal and foetal outcomes, gestational age at booking on its own is poor at predicting maternal and foetal outcomes. Thus, there is need to take into account the quality of services offered in health facilities during women's ANC visits, and to assess current practices of ANC.

Throughout this essay name of the placement or patients will not mentioned and will be replaced with the pseudonyms X,W, P in order to maintained confidentiality in accordance with Nursing and Midwifery Council NMC 2015 Code of Conduct.

Relatedly, an earlier 2011 study by Zeitlin et Al. aimed to determine whether the socio-economic and cultural composition of a neighborhood impacted the rates of pre-term birth among migrant and non-migrant women. They analyzed birth certificates data from 52 541 livebirths that occurred in the French district of Seine St Denis between January 1999 and December 2001. They chose to focus on this district because over 50% of births occurring in this district are from foreign-born women (Zeitlin et Al., 2011, p.347). They crossed the former information with data from the IRIS 2000 census and the French National. Statistical. Institute (INSEE) to determine the socio-economic and cultural composition of the mothers’ neighborhoods. They assigned
