Abstract:

This article explains the importance of patient wellbeing in maternity care and the role of the maternity support worker in providing person-centred care. Maternity support workers benefit from undertaking the care certificate and in-house training provided by the mental health and safeguarding team. This helps them to promote and protect the wellbeing of mothers. Support workers in maternity wards also witness stressful situations which can affect their mental health. The author emphasises the importance for support workers to understand the impact of these experiences and adopt practices to

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Rural women face many challenges with regards to maternity services. Many rural primary birthing facilities in New Zealand have closed. The Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) model of maternity care, introduced in 1990, has moved provision of rural maternity care from doctors to independent midwifery services. Shortages of rural midwives in the Midland region led to rural maternity care being seen as a vulnerable service.

Abstract:

An essential element of communication in maternity services is the use of language. This article will examine three key themes in the use of language: medical jargon, emotive language and those for whom English is not a first language. Medical jargon detracts from patient autonomy, and emotive language can influence women's mindset and experience both positively and negatively. When English is not an individual's first language, women feel defenceless and lack understanding. This can be mitigated by the use of an interpreter; however, their misuse, or a health professional's inexperience in us
