Abstract:
The postnatal period is an important and extremely vulnerable time for new mothers and their infants. Research has outlined the considerable extent of maternal physiological and psychological morbidity following childbirth. The underreporting and undiagnosed aspect of this morbidity has also been highlighted. Newborn infants are totally dependent on their needs being met and are also at risk of newborn conditions particularly if they are undiagnosed, for example neonatal jaundice. There is however, mounting evidence regarding the lack of postnatal support from health professionals, with women

Abstract:
Background: In high-income countries, hospital length of stay after a normal birth has gradually decreased correspondingly to length of stay in care of other patients. A short stay provides a greater opportunity for autonomy and an increased sense of participation, but it may involve great challenges satisfying parental guidance as well as on the possibility of preventing, discovering, and treating neonatal medical conditions. Aim: This study evaluates postnatal care based on cost calculations, risk assessments, and parents’ satisfaction with care. Methods: Questionnaires were sent to 1 122 ne

Maternal morbidity was reported by 85% of women in hospital, 87% at home in the first two months and 76% subsequently. Excess anxiety affected up to 27% of women, and depression occurred in around 16%. These factors influenced parental attitudes to their babie

Abstract:
<p> The rigors of labor and childbirth are incredibly demanding on the mother's body physically, emotionally, and psychology. Most new mothers deliver in a hospital setting where they are discharged after approximately two days. However, the mother's health and well-being does not improve that drastically within those two days of post-delivery recovery. Common struggles that new mothers face include postpartum depression, intimate partner violence, mood and body changes, as well as nutrition and sleep deprivation. Therefore, it is not only important to be attentive to the newborn but to the mo

Abstract:
Introduction Universal access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) during pregnancy and breastfeeding has implications for retention in HIV care and adherence to ART. Retention and adherence may be especially challenging during antenatal and postnatal periods, where women living with HIV have competing responsibilities between infant care, self-care and personal responsibilities. Lifelong ART also highlights the role interconception care (ICC) and preconception care (PCC) interventions can play in improving maternal outcomes. While the latter exist for other health topics, ICC and PCC interventions

Abstract:
Following decades of research on stress and its impact on behaviour, it is now widely accepted that selective psycho-pathologies, in particular clinical depression are more prevalent in humans with prior history of life-stress events. Interest in stress has led to questions about how it might affect the physiology and behaviour of animals exposed indirectly during gestational development. Not unexpectedly gestational stress has been shown to affect the offspring in several ways: endocrine responses to stress are elevated, fear, arousal and affective disturbances are all subject to vary if the

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Under graviditeten och efter förlossningen genomgår kvinnan en period som innebär en stor förändring i hennes liv och det är vanligt att uppleva ett brett spektrum av olika känslor. Den första tiden efter förlossningen kan symtom på allvarliga psykiska hälsoproblem utlösas, såsom en depression. Depression hos nyblivna mödrar, en så kallad postpartumdepression, har sedan 1990-talet ökat i intresse inom hälso- och sjukvården, inom omvårdnadsforskningen samt bland föräldrar.   Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa BVC-sköterskors upplevelser av att möta mödrar med symtom på post

Abstract:
Maternal mortality is a huge concern globally leading to more than a quarter of a million deaths every year. Similarly, an estimated 4 million neonates die every year worldwide, contributing to the majority of deaths of under-5 children. The majority of these deaths take place in under-developed countries, and specifically, in the sub-Saharan Africa region. It is evidenced that maternal ill-health and death contribute to the majority of child deaths. Reducing the death of children under 5 years by two thirds and also improving maternal health/reducing maternal death by three quarters between
