摘要:

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of milk removal as a method of reducing the discomfort of postpartum breast engorgement in nonbreastfeeding women. The course of breast involution was followed in 13 women. Minimal engorgement was experienced by 46% of the subjects. A control group (N= 3) who experienced engorgement and followed standard management practice was compared to an experimental group (N= 4) who used a hand‐operated pump to relieve engorgement symptoms. The subjects in the experimental group experienced a shorter, more comfortable course of breast involution. They took no analgesia and used no other treatment for breast discomfort. There was no evidence of rebound engorgement or lactation stimulation. Although statistical inference is not possible due to a small sample, the results suggest that mechanical removal of milk is an effective way to increase the comfort and decrease the symptoms of engorgement in women who do not breastfeed their infant

摘要:

Observations was made of twenty‐five mothers and infants for 10 min within the first hour following delivery at the George Way Harley Hospital in Ganta, Liberia. The mothers were all Liberian nationals but came from different ethnic backgrounds and varying educational levels. Comparison was made with the bonding behaviors described by Klaus and Kennell. No mother demonstrated these behaviors although several mothers breastfed their infants during the observation period. All mothers demonstrated the cultural norm of breastfeeding as a means of nourishmen

摘要:

Certified nurse‐midwives have political responsibilities both to their profession and to the wider world. Nurse‐midwives have a responsibility to continue their tradition of serving out‐of‐power peoples. Nurse‐midwives have a responsibility to extend their care for mothers and babies to concern for stopping the pollution of the world, the abuses of multi‐national corporations and

摘要:

In response to the expressed needs of expectant parents for noninterventionist family‐centered maternity care, the Douglas General In‐Hospital Birthing Center was established in late 1976, with approximately 80% of the deliveries being done by nurse‐midwives. Patients are admitted to the practice regardless of risk factors. The majority are managed and delivered at the birthing center, with the exception of patients in active labor prior to the thirty‐second week of gestation. Including those transported, the neonatal and perinatal mortality rates compare very favorably to the mortality rates for Georgia and the United

摘要:

The widespread practice of educations nurse‐midwifery students for the care of the “essentially normal childbearing family” in high‐risk medical centers poses a dilemma which provokes the investigation of educational alternatives. Can a private nurse‐midwifery service successfully expand their operations to accommodate the full‐time education of students? Should they? One practice felt such a strong commitment to nurse‐midwifery education that they recruited the educational program. The following is a report of the successful collaboration between McTammany Nurse‐Midwifery Center, Inc. and the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in the development and implementation of a pilot off‐campus Nurse‐Midwifery
