Abstract:
Different patterns of care and a range of lead professionals have influenced care provision in relation to childbirth. The role of a midwife has been influenced by historical factors, research and service changes within the National Health Service. Little is known about how the role of the midwife is perceived. This study explored the views of women and midwives relating to the role of the midwife. Mixed methods of data collection were utilised. In the first phase of the study 4 focus groups (a total of 9 women) were performed. In the second phase of the study longitudinal interviews were cond

Abstract:
Introduction: Clinical Leadership is a way of facilitating change and increasing the quality of care at the front line of practice. However, the failure of midwifery leadership and being designated an oppressed group questions the ability of midwives to practice as clinical leaders in the labour ward environment. Whilst there is some research relating to clinical leadership in nursing, no research exists that investigates the clinical leadership of midwives who are directly involved in giving care to women. Aim: The aim of this research was to explore clinical leadership on the labour ward and

Full text
Abstract:
The desire for, and provision of, cross border reproductive services (CBRS) (i.e. gamete donation and surrogacy) is a growing international phenomenon. CBRS describes the travel by infertile patients from one country or jurisdiction where access to treatment is limited or unavailable to another country or jurisdiction to seek infertility treatment. There are numerous reasons for CBRS and it is an under- researched and undertheorised area of health research. The aim of this thesis was to explore patients’ motivations for and experiences of CBRS. This study provided themes on the decision making

Abstract:
The effects of undertaking a regular exercise programme during and following pregnancy were investigated with healthy primigravid women within Ayrshire Central Hospital, Irvine. A randomised control trial was used with subjects being randomly assigned to either a control group who continued with the existing antenatal education programme or an exercise group who had the addition of participating in an aerobic exercise programme. In early pregnancy, no significant differences were found between the groups in relation to activity levels or mean scores of psychological variables with the exceptio

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

Dashti, Manal. "Determinants of the initiation and duration of breastfeeding among women in Kuwait." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2332/.

Abstract:
Regular breastfeeding surveillance is essential to determine to what extent national breastfeeding targets are being met and how breastfeeding practices change over time. There have been irregular infant feeding studies or national surveys carried out in Kuwait so it is difficult to assess secular trends in breastfeeding practices. The objective of the Kuwait Infant Feeding Study (KIFS) was to identify the incidence and prevalence of breastfeeding up to 26 weeks postpartum among a population of women living in Kuwait and to identify the factors associated with the initiation and duration of br

Woodward, Joanne Lois. "The challenge of conducting a waterbirth randomised controlled trial." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/3392/.

Full text
Abstract:
Waterbirths have been available in the United Kingdom as a method of pain relief for childbirth for over two decades but the neonatal safety of birth in water remains unevaluated. Opponents of a waterbirth randomised controlled trial state randomisation would undermine women’s childbirth experience. In addition, little is known about midwives’ attitudes to waterbirths. This thesis addresses some of the lack of evidence by reporting the findings of two studies which had three aims: to investigate the feasibility of a waterbirth RCT to assess the effects of a waterbirth on the neonate, to explor

Shawley, Lucinda. "Women's experiences of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for pain control in labour." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2011. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/210925/.

Full text
Abstract:
The vision for maternity services focuses on women-centred care with choice, control and promoting normality at its centre, thus emphasising the need to empower women to make choices and decisions regarding their care in labour and birth. Some women will choose the medical model of care, however others prefer to be in control and choose to use non-pharmacological alternatives for pain control in labour such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS has enabled the provision of non-invasive, mobile, self-controlled pain relief for women in labour and is used extensively by wom

Abstract:
Breast milk is acknowledged and recommended as the best food for babies by the World Health Organization. However, globally the proportion of mothers who breastfeed is still low and this is particularly the case in Thailand. The aim of this study is to improve women’s ability to breastfeed. A two phase study was designed. Phase I was to better understand women’s experiences and breastfeeding support needs, which formed the development of the ‘Breastfeeding Support Package’. The package, which consisted of the tool and leaflets, was to be administered by the nurses with the postpartum women. Ph

Abstract:
Background In 2014, 27.0% of births in England and Wales were to mothers born outside of the UK. Compared to their white British peers, minority ethnic and migrant women are at a significantly higher risk of maternal and perinatal mortality, along with lower maternity care satisfaction. Although existing literature highlights the importance of midwife-woman relationships in care satisfaction and pregnancy outcomes health professionals report difficulty in providing services to minority ethnic and migrant women. However little research has explored the factors contributing to the midwife-woman
