这些主题问题是为CNM/CM读者提供继续教育的机会，根据具体的专业要求，也可能为其他人提供继续教育的机会。虽然这些主题主要是关于助产士的，为助产士写的，由助产士写的，但其他卫生保健专业教育工作者也会对这些主题感兴趣，并打算广泛阅读。享受学习新东西！如果你是一名教育工作者，请欣赏助产学和其他医疗保健专业教育的这些进步，因为我们在美国教育了更多的助产士。如果你主要是一名临床医生或政策倡导者，花点时间回顾文章，考虑一下你可能有机会促进助产学教育的发展。你能指导一个学生，担任导师，在薪酬公平或州立法倡导方面的合作伙伴，或者自愿花一些时间与这些学习者分享你的专业知识吗？她们是我们助产行业的未来。Melissa D.

Evidence is growing to support why a racially diverse midwifery workforce is needed; however, very few studies have examined how this should occur. Specifically, little research has examined the lived experiences of Black and Indigenous stakeholders in midwifery education, whose experiences and insight should serve as a cornerstone to re-envision education structures.
Methods
We conducted reflexive thematic analysis using secondary data from 4 focus groups of Black and Indigenous community stakeholders of midwifery education: prospective students, current students, alumni, and community birth workers.
Results
Analysis yielded the themes of (1) acknowledging midwifery's history and origination, (2) centering Black and Indigenous learners in midwifery education, (3) needing a more inclusive version of midwifery, and (4) increasing access to midwifery education.
Discussion
Findings from this study lend a valuable perspective in what stakeholders within midwifery education, mainly prospective students, current students, alumni, and community birth workers, have experienced in interacting within the education systems and what they hope to see changed in the future. By integrating historically excluded voices into curriculum design, institutions can create an education system that not only diversifies the workforce but also upholds the values of cultural competency, justice, and community-centered care.

<p>Emergency contraception is any method of birth control that prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex (no birth control method used). Emergency contraception can include pills (ECPs) or an intrauterine device (IUD) put in the uterus (womb).

紧急避孕是指在无保护性行为（不使用任何避孕方法）后防止怀孕的任何避孕方法。紧急避孕包括避孕药（ECPs）或将宫内节育器（IUD）放入子宫（子宫）。虽然ecp可能被称为“事后避孕药”，但它们可以在无保护的性行为后几天服用（通常长达5天），仍然可以防止怀孕。避孕方法可能会失败，一个人可能会忘记服用避孕药，他们可能不想使用避孕措施，或者避孕套可能会破裂。在某些情况下，个人可能不打算发生性行为或可能被迫发生性行为。有些人的伴侣可能会在他们不想怀孕的时候强迫他们怀孕。他们的伴侣也可能会干扰他们的避孕方法。最常见的ECP含有一种激素（左炔诺孕酮），这种激素也存在于避孕药中。品牌名称是Plan B， Next Choice和My Way。你要吃1到2片，这取决于你买的牌子。最好在无保护性行为后3天内服用ecp。你可以在无保护的性行为后5天内服用ECP，以防止大多数怀孕。越早服用效果越好。另一种类型的ECP含有一种药物（ulipristal），只有在处方下才能获得，适用于所有年龄段的用户。品牌名称是Ella。这种药使用了不同的药物，但对你的身体仍然有同样的效果。你可以在无保护的性行为后5天服用，它可以很好地防止怀孕。你也可以使用常规避孕药作为ecp，只要它们同时含有雌激素和黄体酮。如果你使用常规避孕药作为ecp，你将不得不一次服用几粒药。和你的医疗保健提供者谈谈，根据你的处方找出你需要服用多少药片。另一种紧急避孕方法是将宫内节育器放入子宫。这对停止怀孕非常有效（99%）。你可以在定期的诊所就诊时植入宫内节育器。这不是一个特殊的程序。它应该在无保护的性行为后5天内放置。宫内节育器必须由卫生保健提供者放置。如果你想长期有效地控制生育，这可能是一个不错的选择。最有可能的是，紧急避孕会阻止你生育卵子，改变阴道分泌物，使精子难以到达卵子，或者改变子宫内膜，阻止受精卵在子宫内植入。是的，紧急避孕是非常安全的。即使不能服用避孕药的人也可以安全地使用ecp。即使你已经怀孕或服药后不久怀孕，服用ECPs也不会有出生缺陷或对婴儿造成伤害的风险。ecp最常见的副作用是持续数天的恶心（伴有或不伴有呕吐）。你的医生会给你开一些预防恶心的药。如果你没有处方，你可以使用非处方的晕车或恶心药。其他可能的副作用包括乳房胀痛、阴道出血或点滴出血、痉挛、头痛或头晕。在服用ECPs的周期中，您的月经可能会有所不同。它可能会有点重，时间更长，或者比正常情况早一点或晚一点。副作用通常很轻微，而且很快就会消失。如果您对服用ECP后的症状感到担忧，请立即联系您的医疗保健提供者。紧急避孕不如常规避孕方法有效。如果在合适的时间使用，紧急避孕的效果是75%到99%。常规的避孕措施，如避孕药或注射（Depo-Provera），其有效性高达99%。这些药物有时放在药剂师的柜台后面，所以如果你在使用它们之前需要更多的信息，你可以问药剂师要。如果你想服用艾拉，你需要从你的医疗保健提供者那里得到处方。你可以向你的医疗保健提供者索要处方，以备不时之需。服用ECPs后不久，您将能够再次怀孕。你可能需要使用屏障方法，比如避孕套，直到月经来临时。你还应该确保你有一个可靠的避孕措施，以防止你将来怀孕。这样，如果你在没有计划的情况下发生性行为，你仍然受到保护。和你的医疗保健提供者谈谈你可以采取的避孕措施。卫生保健提供者必须在无保护的性行为发生后5天内置入宫内节育器。宫内节育器的一个优点是，你将有有效的节育持续长达10年。当你打电话预约时，一定要说你想要紧急避孕的宫内节育器，这样他们就可以为你的就诊做准备，并确保你在5天内安排好时间。宫内节育器不能防止性传播感染。 你的医生可能会在插入时提供性传播感染筛查。Flesch-Kincaid等级7.8级2025年10月批准。本讲义取代2012年11月/ 12月第57卷第6期发表的“紧急避孕”。本讲义可以复制用于非商业用途，供卫生保健专业人员与患者分享，但不允许对讲义进行修改。本讲义中的信息和建议不能替代医疗保健。向您的医疗保健提供者咨询有关您和您的健康的具体信息。
