摘要:

ABSTRACTThe cervical cap is an ancient method of contraception revitalized during the 1970s by feminist health care practitioners. It acts as a contraceptive both mechanically and chemically. This study looks at the effectiveness and satisfaction of the cervical cap in 76 women fitted over a 1‐year period. The cap is 80.4% effective according to the Pearl Index and 89% of the women are satisfied with using the cap. There is a 51% continuation rate over a 1‐year period. The cervical cap appears to have a satisfactory rate of contraception when compared with other barrier methods and women are adept at its use. A significant finding is that most pregnancies occur in the first three months of cap use. A much higher effectiveness is seen subsequen

摘要:

ABSTRACTThere is currently a great need for a safe and reliable method of birth control in view of the medical hazards associated with the use of artificial contraceptives. The early natural methods of breastfeeding, calendar rhythm, and temperature have been superseded by two modern and highly effective methods: the ovulation method and the symptothermal method, which may be used to both achieve and avoid pregnancy. The ovulation method is based on a woman's observation of the behavior of her cervical mucus, which changes in character throughout the menstrual cycle. In addition to mucus observation, the symptothermal method includes temperature taking and cervical palpation. The results of several studies have found the natural methods to be comparable in effectiveness to contraceptive pills and the intrauterine device, although proper teaching and motivation of couples is required for their successful application. The periods of abstinence involved appear to engender improvements in the marriage. Knowledge of these methods is invaluable to the practice of midwifery.

摘要:

ABSTRACTIt has been thought that pregnancy outcomes of women 35 years and older are less favorable than those of women under 35 years of age. To examine this, the records of 188 women, 35 years of age or greater, cared for in the Nurse Midwifery Service at Roosevelt Hospital, New York City, from 1977–1981 were reviewe

摘要:

ABSTRACTClinical teaching is a vital component of any practice discipline and comprises almost two‐thirds of the teaching time for any nurse‐midwifery educator. Yet, clinical educators (academic or preceptor) often have had little or no preparation for their important role in preparing the nurse‐midwives of the future. It has often been assumed that good clinicians make good teachers, but this assumption has left both teachers and students frustrated, or worse, afraid to pursue any further teaching or learning.This article is a synthesis of ideas and practical experience related to teaching and learning in the clinical setting, specifically based on knowledge of how adults learn, what constitutes knowledge, and how learning principles can guide the clinical teacher in her or his teaching ef
