Information on applicants to nurse‐midwifery educational programs for the Fall of 1977 was obtained in order to make recommendations for the future planning of nurse‐midwifery education. It is hoped that the findings will be useful to nurse‐midwifery educational pla

摘要:

ABSTRACTDemographic and obstetric characteristics of patients seen by a nurse‐midwife in a private obstetric practice over a 3 year period are reviewed. 212 patients had extensive contact with the nurse‐midwife. Ethnic background, age, and marital status of the patients are discussed, as well as the educational and occupational status of the patient and her husband. Where appropriate, the figures are compared to the general population of delivered mothers in Milwaukee. 40 patients who had asked for the nurse‐midwife were delivered by physicians because of complications or other circumstances. Thirteen patients were delivered by cesarean section and 13 deliveries had forcep deliveries. The majority of the patients who sought the services of the nurse‐midwife were Caucasian and married. 71% of the patients were between the ages of 20

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study assessed the knowledge of and attitudes toward nurse‐midwifery of a selected group of 183 women attending ASPO certified childbirth education classes in the St. Louis metropolitan area. All of the women were at least high school graduates and were primarily of middle class background. A pretested, written questionnaire was used as the data collection tool.Results from this study indicate that women with prior exposure to nurse‐midwifery have a higher level of knowledge and a more favorable attitude toward nurse‐midwifery than women without such exposure. It was also found that knowledge was unrelated to the age, educational level or family income of the respondents; knowledge was related to parity of the women. In addition, attitudes toward nurse‐midwifery were related to women's age, educational level, parity, and family income. A moderate, positive relationship between attitude and knowledge (r= 0.34,p<0.001) may suggest that as knowledge about nurse‐midwifery is acquired, attitudes toward nurse‐midwifery may become more favorable.There was a general lack of information about nurse‐midwives in this sample. These data may also be applicable to women who do not take childbirth education classes under the assumption that they may know even less about nurse‐midwifery. This study suggests that additional public knowledge about nurse‐midwifery is essential to informed choice among maternity health care options and to improv

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis is a two‐year report of evening clinics for Hispanic and Black adolescents in the South Bronx, New York City. The majority of the article reports on the prenatal clinic, designed and administered by the midwives, for low‐risk teen‐agers. These sessions gave equal time to education and patient care management. Definite elements of success were good nutrition with liberal weight gains and continuity of care via midwifery caseloads. Highlights of data obtained from 204 delivered mothers were an average maternal weight gain increasing to 27.9 lb, the average newborn weight increasing to 7 lb 12 oz, low birth weights decreasing to 6.3%, and an average intrapartum hematocrit of 35.8%.The problems and challenges of parenting and family planning are also disc
