Extricación vehicular: medidas de prevención ante la pandemia COVID 19

Los accidentes de tránsito han disminuido en aquellas regiones donde el distanciamiento social se ha utilizado como medida para limitar la expansión de la pandemia por COVID-19. No obstante esa disminución, los profesionales de salud que intervienen en el rescate de víctimas atrapadas en vehículos automotores se enfrentan a nuevos retos para mantener la bioseguridad durante la extricación vehicu-lar. Con el objetivo de mostrar las acciones estandarizadas para establecer medidas preventivas que garanticen la seguridad del perso-nal de auxilio inmediato se detallan los pasos a seguir durante el proceso. Estas acciones comienzan con la valoración del estado de salud y dos etapas de preparación: 1) verificación de ausencia de riesgos para el personal de rescate que frente a la pandemia incluye un especial énfasis en evitar las aglomeraciones y 2) verificación del equipo de protección individual reforzado con nuevos implementos para la bioseguridad.

Riesgo de Shock: Cuidado de Enfermería en mujeres con hemorragia obstétrica

Con el objetivo de desarrollar un plan de cuidados estandarizado, dirigido al tratamiento oportuno de mujeres con riesgo de shock por hemorragia obstétrica se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura que llevó a identificar los indicios claves en esta situación y los factores de riesgo para construir el diagnóstico de enfermería utilizando como guía la taxonomía NANDA y se complementó con los resultados NOC y las intervenciones NIC. A partir de la etiqueta diagnostica riesgo de shock asociada al factor de riesgo hipovolemia se construyó un plan de cuidados de enfermería basado en evidencia científica que oriente el cuidado integral y contribuya a la prevención de muerte materna. Conclusiones: Los planes estandarizados sintetizan evidencias científicas que el profesional de enfermería puede utilizar para establecer medidas preventivas que garanticen la identificación temprana y la limitación del daño de complicaciones de aparición frecuente como el shock asociado a hemorragia obstétrica.

Cultural beliefs and Health-Seeking Practices: Rural Zambians' Views on Maternal-Newborn Care

In Zambia, the newborn mortality rate is 34 per 1,000 live births (UNICEF, 2017) and the infant mortality rate is 44 per 1,000 live births (UNICEF, 2018). To promote improved newborn health outcomes in rural Zambia, new knowledge is needed to enhance our understanding of newborn care and cultural factors influencing the ways mothers seek newborn care. Several studies from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) show cultural beliefs strongly influence behavior during pregnancy, childbirth, and care-seeking (Lang-Baldé & Amerson, 2018; Lori & Boyle, 2011; Maimbolwa, Yamba, Diwan, & Ransjö-Arvidson, 2003; Raman, Nicholls, Ritchie, Razee, & Shafiee, 2016).

Changing behaviour in pregnant women: a scoping review

Improving health and wellbeing is a major goal in healthcare all over the world (WHO, 2015). Midwives and other healthcare professionals play a key role in educating women about healthy pregnancies (WHO, 2013a). During the course of pregnancy, women may experience a variety of psychological changes, including developing the motivation to change their lifestyle habits (Lindqvist et al., 2017). To support “behaviour change through a life-course approach” and to implement the WHO strategy for strengthening nursing and midwifery towards the achievement of the “Health 2020” goals (WHO, 2015, p.4), it is important for healthcare professionals to increase their knowledge of behaviour change programmes (BCPs) during pregnancy.

The initiation of Dutch newly qualified hospital-based midwives in practice, a qualitative study

In the Netherlands, a percentage of newly qualified midwives start work in maternity care as a hospital-based midwife, although prepared particularly for working autonomously in the community.

Evidence and guidelines for trauma-informed doula care

Although trauma and trauma-related health conditions are increasingly common among childbearing people (Sperlich et al., 2017; Vignato et al., 2017), there is a dearth of published evidence and guidance on trauma-informed doula care. Trauma refers to an event(s) or circumstances that are experienced as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that have lasting adverse effects on wellbeing (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2014)). This can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and negative pregnancy-related outcomes such as substance use, prematurity, low birth weight, postpartum depression, difficulty bonding with the baby, children with PTSD, or even maternal and infant death (Sperlich et al., 2017; Kilpatrick 2017; Kendig et al., 2017).

Project 20: Midwives’ insight into continuity of care models for women with social risk factors: What works, for whom, in what circumstances, and how

Women with social risk factors such as those living in poverty and social isolation, seeking asylum or refugee status, experiencing domestic abuse, mental illness, learning difficulties, and substance abuse problems, have significantly higher rates of poor birth outcomes compared to their more advantaged counterparts (Draper, 2019, Biro, 2017, Lindquist, 2015, Blumenshine, 2010, Smith 2009). In both the UK and the US women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds [BME] also experience unacceptably high rates of morbidity and mortality compared to their white counterparts, regardless of their socio-economic status (Knight et al, 2018).

Improvisation and harm avoidance: An ethnographic study of adherence to postnatal care protocols in two hospitals in Southern Ghana

Postnatal care (PNC) is the skilled care given to mothers and babies immediately after delivery and for six weeks thereafter (WHO, 2013). The aim is to detect, manage or refer maternal and newborn health problems and life-threatening complications. (Ronsmans and Graham, 2006; Nadisauskiene et al., 2014; Singh et al., 2014; WHO and UNICEF, 2014). Protocols and guidelines are “statements to assist healthcare practitioners to make appropriate decisions about the right care in specific conditions and circumstances” (Woolf et al., 1999:527).

Patterns of delivery assistance among adolescent mothers in Nigeria

This study examined the sociodemographic and sociocultural factors associated with the pattern of birth assistance used among adolescent mothers aged 15–19 in Nigeria.

Evaluation of women's worries in different strategies for the prevention of early onset group B streptococcal disease in neonates

: Early onset group B streptococcal (EOGBS) disease is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. EOGBS preventive strategies aim to reduce the risk of neonatal complications. Two new strategies to prevent EOGBS were implemented in two regions in the Netherlands: a risk-based and a combination strategy and were compared to the Dutch strategy in a third region. Little is known how women feel about preventive EOGBS strategies, the consequences for management during labour, side effects such as harm caused by over prescribing of antibiotics or anxiety caused by screening.
