Impact of trauma, support, and control perceptions during childbirth on post-traumatic stress disorder among Syrian immigrant adolescent pregnant women

A positive childbirth experience, which is important for all women, has become an increasing need for immigrant women. There is a need for developing and sustaining health policies guaranteeing culturally sensitive care to prevent immigrant women from having a trau...

How midwives facilitate informed decisions in the third stage of labour - an exploration through portraiture
CONCLUSION: Midwives in this study valued informed decision-making as fundamental to their philosophy but also faced barriers in their ability to facilitate it. Barriers to informed decision-making included: power-imbalances; de-skilling in physiological birth; fear of blame, and interdisciplinary disparities. Conversely enablers included continuity models of midwifery care, quality antenatal education, respectful interdisciplinary collaboration and an aim toward a resurgence of fundamental midwifery skills.PMID:37931464 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103868 (Source: Midwifery)

The German version of the Bristol breastfeeding assessment tool: A validation study
CONCLUSION: The BSAT had an overall good inter-rater reliability and a moderate construct validity with the mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy level and has comparable psychometrics properties as the original.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: We recommend assessing breastfeeding with the BSAT and scoring it at the item level and not with a total score. Using the BSAT on maternity wards could help monitor and objectify breastfeeding practices.PMID:37931458 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103843 (Source: Midwifery)
