nutrition status. Aims Of particular concern is women and maternal health in Ethiopia. According to the millennium goal developments, the fifth goal is to reduce maternal mortality rate by 75% by 2015. One reason that maternal health needs to be increased in Ethiopia is because of the large amount of women who die each year. According to Skolnik (2012), the highest maternal mortality ratios are in sub-Saharan Africa, where there are 940 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. This means that a woman

the effects of deprivation and privation of a maternal attachment on orphans in both Romania and around the world. Attachment is the emotional tie to a parent that an infant experiences, giving the child security. It develops gradually to the primary care giver and is important for survival (Boyd & Bee, 2009). In some cases children may experience a disruption of this attachment which is known as deprivation (Key Book Ref). Bowlby’s (1965) maternal deprivation hypothesis states it is essential for

The Lynsey Addario photo chosen from her photo story Maternal Mortality, depicts women in Sierra Leone holding two newly born twins. The newborns, usually considered joys and miracles, are surrounded by sad, morning, void, grieving and angry expressions. While the scene is filled with vibrant colors, it is hardly filled with the joy a western audience would expect. Maternal Mortality tells the story of Mama Seesay her family and friends, as well as all childbearing women in Sierra Leone and sub-Saharan

Maternal Bond in Toni Morrison's Beloved       The maternal bond between mother and kin is valued and important in all cultures.  Mothers and children are linked together and joined: physically, by womb and breast; and emotionally, by a sense of self and possession.  Once that bond is established, a mother will do anything for her child.  In the novel Beloved, the author, Toni Morrison, describes a woman, Sethe, who's bond is so strong she goes to great lengths to keep her children safe and

My interest in maternal mortality, morbidity, and health was first piqued by my mother, who has always worked in the field. As I got older, I began to more completely grasp the topics that she dealt with, and the implications they had for women universally. Even to this day, I cannot understand why women, the creators of life, do not receive more respect, or even regard, for the services they provide humanity. That is why this topic interests me so much, because even after reading all the material

Importance of Maternal and Child Health Progress on a Global Scale As one of the most significant and pressing priorities of the Unites States government concerning global health, child and maternal health is crucial and must be improved on an international level. Of all the Millennium Development Goals, goals four and five have shown the least amount of progress. The goals which aim to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health, respectively, have shown an embarrisingly minimal amount of

The intervention titled “An Intervention Involving Traditional Birth Attendants and Perinatal and Maternal Mortality in Pakistan” conducted by Jokhio, Winter, and Cheng focuses on decreasing maternal mortality and perinatal death by intervening in two different ways. The group intervened by providing training to traditional birth attendants, since forty three percent of childbirths are completed by traditional birth attendants in developing countries (Jokhio, Winter, and Cheng, 2005). Secondly,

In The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson addresses the pervasiveness of maternal bonds in a horror-based context, and asserts that a mother-daughter bond gives people the nourishment and sense of individuality needed to live out a decent and sensible life. She engages her readers through the mind of a socially awkward women named Eleanor, who was ultimately victimized by her mother, and now seeks to gain a maternal acceptance, a fundamental need or vital blood connection. Eleanor seeks to fulfill

Maternal conditions that determine the path of birth, the maternal age and the reduction in the number of desired children. The gestational age less than 38 weeks of gestation or greater than 40 weeks can increase the chance of having a cesarean birth. Births in gestational ages between 29 and 36 weeks have a probability close to 57% of occurring by cesarean section, compared to 33 % in births with a gestational age between 37 and 42 weeks. Women have a greater proportion of births by cesarean section
