The problem of this study was to determine health care professionals' opinions and practices concerning foodborne illness and food safety education during prenatal care.

The results found that 71.7% of respondents do not provide foodborne illness and food safety education during prenatal care, however, 80.6% would like to. Most of the respondents indicated that they do not have the time (71.4%), resources (57 1%), or knowledge (25.7%) to provide this information to patients. Many of the respondents indicat

Abstract:

CenteringPregnancy is a model of group prenatal care that replaces routine, individual prenatal care. The program brings women together into small groups to receive their care and prenatal education, and is based on three components: risk assessment, education, and support. The model is client-centered, designed to empower pregnant women and support persons, and involves the woman in small group discussions of 8-10 other women of similar gestational age. The group discussions provide support, help women educate each other, and invoke self-monitoring. Currently, there have been few publications

Tennessee ranks high for infant mortality (IM) in the United States. Despite public health efforts, the IM rate for Blacks is twice that of Whites mimicking what is observed nationally.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between places of residence (conceptualized by rurality and racial concentration), PNC, and IM among racial groups across Tennessee and to determine if race modified these associations.

Background: Health policies that seek to improve pregnancy outcomes focus on increasing the availability and access to prenatal care (PNC) services based on studies that support an association between insufficient PNC and adverse birth outcomes.

Abstract:

In 2010 Medicaid financed approximately 48% of all births in the United States and nearly 30% of all births in Virginia.

As the nation moves forward with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), state-elected Medicaid expansion has the potential to expand services to women of reproductive age that would precede pregnancy events and offer continuous access to care postpartum.

Abstract:

This dissertation studies Oregon primary care physicians' attitudes toward health care reform. Two models of reform are examined: one, health care rationing such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP); and, two, support for national health insurance (NHI). This work examines the necessity for changing the present health care system, traced from the early origins of the medical profession to the present day health care "crisis." The high cost of health care is examined and an overview of the OHP is provided, including citations from John Kitzhaber, M.D., author of the plan. Overall, O

Abstract:

This thesis describes the development of a curriculum for a prenatal breastfeeding workshop and the randomized controlled trial that was completed to test the hypotheses that the workshop would have a positive influence on maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and that increased self-efficacy would positively affect breastfeeding duration. Breastfeeding self-efficacy, measured with the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, and breastfeeding duration, recorded as number of days and amount of breastfeeding, were measured at 4 and 8 weeks postpartum. The results of this study suggest that

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the process of change in management accounting in public-sector health care. The change is examined through the implementation of a nationally homogeneous Diagnosis Related Grouping (DRG) system. The DRG system is used to classify health-care diagnoses into groups for service productisation and pricing. The system has been proposed as a solution for cost accounting and budgeting. The practical motivation of the dissertation is to analyse the embedding of change in organisations´ practises. The theoretical motivation of the dissertation is to

Abstract:

Primary health care as a model for the provision of health services was introduced by the World Health Organization In the mid 1970s.

This was to be achieved through education of the community towards good health practices and the preparation of nurses to practice in the community, outside of the acute care environment Australian nurses were slow to respond to this philosophy of heal
