Characteristics of strong midwifery leaders and enablers of strong midwifery leadership: An international appreciative inquiry
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study contributes to understandings of trait, behavioural, situational, transformational and servant leadership theory in the context of midwifery. Investing in the development of strong midwifery leadership is essential as it has the potential to elevate the profession and improve perinatal outcomes worldwide. Findings may inform the development of both existing and new leadership models, frameworks, and validated measurement tools.PMID:38579551 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103982 (Source: Midwifery)

Do WHO criteria for gestational diabetes fit a rural population in Tanzania? – A follow-up study assessing mother and child health six years after a pregnancy diagnosed with gestational diabetes
The burden of diabetes across the world has reached epidemic proportions affecting nearly one in every ten adults [1]. The strongest predictor for developing diabetes is overweight caused by an inactive lifestyle and overnutrition, followed by genetic disposition, advanced age, prediabetes, and for women especially a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) [2]. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) account for around 80 % of the worldwide prevalence of diabetes, putting pressure on already overburdened health systems [1].

Effects of perceptions of forest change and intergroup competition on community-based conservation behaviors
Conserv Biol. 2024 Apr 4:e14259. doi: 10.1111/cobi.14259. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApproximately one quarter of the earth's population directly harvests natural resources to meet their daily needs. These individuals are disproportionately required to alter their behaviors in response to increasing climatic variability and global biodiversity loss. Much of the ever-ambitious global conservation agenda relies on the voluntary uptake of conservation behaviors in such populations. Thus, it is critical to understand how such individuals perceive environmental change and use conservation practices as a tool to protect their...
