摘要:

ABSTRACTThe Inventory of Functional Status After Childbirth (IFSAC) contains five subscales designed to measure the mother's readiness to assume infant care and to resume self‐care, household, social and community, and occupational activities following childbirth. Content validity was established at 96.7%. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency reliability coefficients ranged from 0.56–0.98 for the five subscales. Average correlations for the subscale item to subscale total scores ranged from 0.51–0.78. Subscale to total IFSAC score correlations ranged from 0.53–0.90. Test‐retest reliability coefficients for a 4–7 day interval ranged from 0.48–0.93. Initial construct validity testing was accomplished by comparing recovery rates for vaginally and cesarean delivered women. The multidimensionality of the concept of functional status after childbirth was supported empirically, with the magnitude of IFSAC subscale correlations ranging from 0.01–0.53. Further psychometric testing of the IFSAC with large samples of child‐bearing women is warranted. Clinicians may use the IFSAC to assess functional status fol

摘要:

ABSTRACTObtaining a complete sexual history from the nurse‐midwifery client often provokes anxiety in the nurse‐midwife as well as the client. This article presents a brief, concise method for obtaining all necessary data relating to the client's past and present sexual health. Also discussed are specific counseling skills that the CNM may incorporate into practice when sexual counseling is indicated. Finally, a case study illustrates the use of these ski

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper critically analyzes the proposed Code of Ethics for nurse‐midwives that was published in the March/April 1986 issue of this journal by drawing upon the literatures of medical ethics, political economy, cognitive psychology, and the sociology of professions. Examples of practical ethical issues in nurse‐midwifery are provided and an alternative Code of Ethics based on the ACNM Philosophy is offe

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn Karawa, Zaire, traditional midwives are eager to learn maternal and child health care from the modern sector. This is documented in a film targeted to health personnel and planners interested in primary health care in developing countries. A 23‐minute movie depicts all aspects of the interactions between traditional and modern health systems in a specific rural area. We see the selection, training, collaboration and supervision in the community. The article describes the various steps for training TBAs and making a documentary movi

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn response to Constance J. Adams' “Doctoral Preparation for Nurse‐Midwives,” this article discusses the value of scholarly study through doctoral education of philosophy and the theoretical foundations essential to nurse‐midwifery practice and research. To strengthen our research, practice, discipline, and profession we must value and explore the offerings of philosophy including existentialism, transcendentalism, phenomenology, and aesthetics in addition to philosophy of science and

摘要:

ABSTRACTMyomas are the most common type of benign pelvic tumor in women. It is estimated that they occur in 20–25% of women of reproductive ages. The incidence during pregnancy has been found to range from 0.3–2.6%. Myomas seldom cause problems during pregnancy but they do require appropriate evaluation and anticipatory management. The outcome of pregnancies complicated by myomas is directly related to their size and the location of the myoma in relationship to the placental site.Two case studies are presented of two women who had large myomas. A hysterectomy was required due to persistent postpartum hemorrhage in one, while the other experienced a normal course of labor and deliv
