摘要:

ABSTRACTThe number of out‐of‐hospital birth centers in the United States is increasing dramatically, from a few scattered “demonstration projects” in the early 1970s to more than 150 such centers in 1983. These centers have been presented as meeting the needs and desires of birthing women and their families for an alternative to the hospital. In that sense, they are the promise of the future for birthing women. A second, perhaps latent function of the centers is to meet the needs of practitioners: nurse‐midwives also need and desire an alternative to the hospital if they are to develop into high‐status, autonomous professionals. Traditional midwives worked in homes; physicians brought birth into hospitals. For the nurse‐midwives, a comparatively new breed of practitioner, a new setting of practice

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article begins with a historical perspective on the midwife and oulines the unique role played in family planning. Discussion follows concerning current trends in the education of professional midwives and the subsequent training they conduct with traditional birth attendants and other health providers in family planning. Because permanent contraception is now included in family planning methods, a new dimension is added to the responsibility and role of the professional midwife and the traditional birth attendant.The midwife plays a key role in the client's acceptance and use of family planning methods, especially in deciding on permanent contraception. Presented here are examples of the current counseling role of professional midwives, a description of how they are being trained to perform permanent surgical contraception, and discussion of their emerging roles as educators of traditional birth attendants and coordinators of the health team that provides quality family planning and permanent contraception services.

摘要:

ABSTRACTAlternative birth centers (ABC) offer pregnant women a non‐hospital, non‐home environment in which to have uncomplicated childbirth. The experience at an ABC in Jacksonville, Florida, involving all patients laboring at the center from 9/11/80 through 4/14/82, was reviewed. One hundred and eleven patients were accepted into the center during the two‐year period from April 1980 to April 1982; of these, 22 (20%) were transferred antepartum, 18 (16%) were transferred intrapartum, and 71 (64%) labored and delivered at the center. The Apgar scores of the 71 patients delivering at the center were greater than or equal to 8 at 1 min and 9 at 5 min. There were no fetal or maternal losses during this period, nor was there any significant fetal or maternal morbidity in this
