Improving Equitable Postpartum Care in an Urban Private Clinic with Predominantly Black Patients
DiscussionThis quality initiative addressed a key factor in health equity for a predominantly Black, Medicaid-insured population in an urban clinic by raising PPV attendance rates above national standards of 90% and improving client satisfaction and the quality of care received during these visits. The project was low cost and created sustainable systems for maintaining evidence-based equitable care. Limitations included the coronavirus disease 19 pandemic, clinic staff turnover, and staff and client biases. Continued innovative research targeted at improving health equity is needed.

The relationship between maternal functioning and birth memory and trauma
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that birth memory and trauma affected maternal functioning. The mother's functional status in the postpartum period reflects the physical and psychosocial changes associated with pregnancy and birth. Therefore, for women to have positive birth memories and emotions when recalling the birth, their emotional health and physical care should be supported during labour and the postpartum period.PMID:38503117 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103974 (Source: Midwifery)
