内容説明

"Essential Midwifery" embodies the philosophy of the changes outlined in 'Changing Childbirth', emphasising the normality of the process of childbirth and stressing the provision of a client-centred approach. The emphasis throughout the book is on allowing women choice and control by providing them with information via sensitive communication. So-called 'abnormalities' such as unusual presentations and common problems will be addressed, but as part of the normal process of pregnancy and childbirth. The content follows the time continuum of the woman's shift from childhood, puberty and maturity to motherhood and the creation of a new family. Sociological and psychological issues and how these should be used to enhance practice are integrated throughout the book, not just added in as extra chapters. Biological and behavioural aspects of the life changes will be explained, making complex abstract concepts clear. It will not only cover the theoretical aspects needed to be able to allow the client choice and control, but it will give practical advice on just how to achieve this. Where appropriate charts and diagrams will be used to provide information, for example common disorders and how to overcome or alleviate these. "Essential Midwifery" will provide the essential knowledge for all practising and student midwives to implement 'Changing Childbirth' recommendations. The use of research based material, as applied to practice, will be incorporated throughout and will be a feature of this book. The book's approach will be based on theory and applied to practice taking a well-woman, holistic approach to care before, during and immediately after pregnancy. Intrinsic in this approach is the inclusion of the baby, other siblings and the fathers of the children. Care about and care for a woman during childbirth will include care of the entire family.
