在基因研究和土著研究领域,数据所有权和传播控制权的问题得到了强调。7 作为《助产士手册》的编辑,我们认识到自己作为助产士研究人员在工作中的地位。LC 的身份是黑人女性;被奴役非洲人的后裔;助产士;学者、教育家、历史学家、艺术家和诗人;以及一名 14 岁黑人男性的母亲。我承认我所拥有的特权,也承认我将面临的结构性障碍。IKG 的身份是美国犹太人,阿什肯纳兹后裔和白人;男性;护士和助产士;丈夫、父亲和祖父;教育家和终身学习者。我对世界的理解受到所有这些立场的影响,我努力平衡这些立场,以病人、研究参与者、学生和同事的经验和观点为中心。审视我们的立场有助于我们识别和理解我们的特权如何影响社会对我们的看法。我们通常无法控制这些看法,但我们的认识有助于我们了解我们的学术研究可能受到的影响。这并不是要强迫人们分享他们感到不自在的身份,因为我们每天都在不断地了解自己。为了减轻在评审过程中引入偏见的担忧,作者可以部分或全部掩盖其立场和反思性声明。在 JMWH,我们希望加入这些内容能够提高人们对各种形式的学术成果产生背景的认识,并提高发表文章的质量。我们预计,这种对立场和反思性的期望将成为助产士学术研究的规范。

Introduction

Access to pregnancy-related and childbirth-related health care for rural residents is limited by health workforce shortages in the United States. Although midwives are key pregnancy and childbirth care providers, the current landscape of the rural midwifery workforce is not well understood. The goal of this analysis was to describe the availability of local midwifery care in rural US communities.

Methods

We developed and conducted a national survey of rural US hospitals with current or recently closed childbirth services. Maternity unit managers or administrators at 292 rural hospitals were surveyed from March to August 2021, with 133 hospitals responding (response rate 46%; 93 currently offering childbirth services, 40 recently closed childbirth services). This cross-sectional analysis describes whether rural hospitals with current or prior childbirth services had midwifery care with certified nurse-midwives available locally and whether rural communities with and without midwifery care differed by hospital-level and county-level characteristics.

Results

Among hospitals surveyed, 55% of those with current and 75% of those with prior childbirth services reported no locally available midwifery care. Of the 93 rural communities with current hospital-based childbirth services, those without midwifery care were more likely to have lower populations (37% vs 33%); majority populations that were Black, Indigenous, and people of color (24% vs 10%); and hospitals where at least 50% of births were Medicaid funded (77% vs 64%), compared with communities with midwifery care. Conversely, communities with midwifery care more often had greater than 30% of patients traveling more than 30 miles for hospital-based childbirth services (38% vs 28%).

Discussion

More than half of rural hospitals surveyed reported no locally available midwifery care, and availability differed by hospital-level and county-level characteristics. Efforts to ensure pregnancy and childbirth care access for rural birthing people should include attention to the availability of local midwifery care.

导言:在美国,农村居民获得与妊娠和分娩相关的医疗保健服务受到了医疗卫生劳动力短缺的限制。虽然助产士是怀孕和分娩护理的主要提供者,但人们对农村助产士队伍的现状并不十分了解。这项分析的目的是描述美国农村社区当地助产护理的可用性:方法:我们对目前或最近关闭了分娩服务的美国农村医院进行了一项全国性调查。2021 年 3 月至 8 月,我们对 292 家农村医院的产科经理或管理人员进行了调查,其中 133 家医院做出了回应(回应率为 46%;93 家医院目前提供分娩服务,40 家医院最近关闭了分娩服务)。这项横断面分析描述了目前或之前提供分娩服务的农村医院是否在当地配备了助产士,以及有助产士和没有助产士的农村社区在医院层面和县级层面的特征是否存在差异:在接受调查的医院中,55%的现有医院和 75% 的曾有过分娩服务的医院表示当地没有提供助产护理。在 93 个目前有医院分娩服务的农村社区中,与有助产护理的社区相比,没有助产护理的社区更有可能人口较少(37% 对 33%);大多数人口为黑人、土著人和有色人种(24% 对 10%);至少 50%的分娩由医疗补助资助的医院(77% 对 64%)。相反,在提供助产护理的社区中,有超过 30% 的患者需要前往 30 英里以外的医院接受分娩服务(38% 对 28%):讨论:在接受调查的农村医院中,有一半以上的医院表示当地没有助产护理服务,而且医院和县级医院的助产护理服务情况也不尽相同。确保农村分娩者获得怀孕和分娩护理的努力应包括关注当地助产护理的可用性。

Miscarriage 流产
IF 2.1 4区 医学 Q2 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-22 DOI: 10.1111/jmwh.13670

A miscarriage is the early loss of a pregnancy. Miscarriage can happen any time between your last menstrual period and 20 weeks of pregnancy. After 20 weeks, a pregnancy loss is called a stillbirth. Most miscarriages happen before 14 weeks of pregnancy.

Miscarriage happens in about 15% to 20% of pregnancies. The true number is unknown because many happen before the person knows they are pregnant.

Usually there is no known cause. About half of all miscarriages are caused by genetic problems. Pregnancy loss is more common in older people and those who have had a miscarriage before. Medical problems like diabetes or thyroid disease, smoking, or alcohol use can increase the chance of miscarriage. A miscarriage can happen to anyone.

The most common signs of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding, cramping, or pain in your lower abdomen or back. These symptoms don't always mean a miscarriage will happen. Sometimes a miscarriage can occur without any warning.

A miscarriage is diagnosed by ultrasound. The ultrasound will show that the fetus does not have a heartbeat. Blood tests can also be done to check your levels of the pregnancy hormone (HCG). This can be helpful if your health care provider thinks you are having a miscarriage.

When someone is having a miscarriage before 20 weeks, nothing can be done to stop it. There are several options after you know you are miscarrying. The best option depends on how far along the pregnancy is, how healthy you are, and if other problems are happening. Your desires and your health care provider's advice are important too.

If your pregnancy is more than 16 weeks, your health care provider may admit you to the hospital to induce labor. This process can take some time and may involve the use of several medications. You will receive care during the process to support you and answer questions. You may be asked if you want to see the fetus.

When you become pregnant again, be sure to tell your health care provider that you have a history of pregnancy loss. They will check you out and tell you about your specific chance of having another miscarriage.

流产是指怀孕早期流产。流产可能发生在末次月经到怀孕 20 周之间的任何时间。怀孕 20 周后的流产称为死胎。大多数流产发生在怀孕 14 周之前。流产发生率约为 15%-20%,真实数字不详,因为很多流产发生在孕妇知道自己怀孕之前。大约一半的流产是由遗传问题引起的。在老年人和曾经流产过的人中,流产更常见。糖尿病或甲状腺疾病、吸烟或酗酒等疾病都会增加流产的几率。流产可能发生在任何人身上。最常见的流产迹象是阴道出血、痉挛、下腹部或背部疼痛。这些症状并不总是意味着会发生流产。有时流产会在没有任何征兆的情况下发生。超声波会显示胎儿没有心跳。还可以通过验血来检查妊娠荷尔蒙(HCG)的水平。如果您的医护人员认为您流产了,这可能会有所帮助。如果有人在 20 周前流产,就没有办法阻止它了。在知道自己流产后,有几种选择。最佳选择取决于怀孕时间的长短、健康状况以及是否出现其他问题。您的愿望和医疗服务提供者的建议也很重要。如果怀孕超过 16 周,医疗服务提供者可能会让您住院引产。这个过程可能需要一些时间,可能需要使用多种药物。在这个过程中,您会得到医护人员的支持并回答您的问题。当您再次怀孕时,一定要告诉医护人员您有过流产史。他们会为您做检查,并告诉您再次流产的具体几率。本讲义取代2013年7/8月出版的第58卷第4号 "流产"。本页可由医疗保健专业人员进行非商业性复制,与客户分享。任何其他复制行为均需获得《助产与amp; 妇女健康杂志》的批准。本页中的信息和建议在大多数情况下是适当的,但不能代替医疗诊断。有关您个人医疗状况的具体信息,《助产及妇女健康杂志》建议您咨询您的医疗保健提供者。

Gender and Sex Inclusive Approaches for Discussing Predicted Fetal Sex: A Call for Reflection and Research 讨论预测胎儿性别的性别和性别包容方法:呼吁反思与研究。

<p>Technology has rapidly transformed the centuries-old practice of fetal sex prediction, and significant social and medical progress is changing the way prenatal health care providers (HCPs) address the often-asked question, “Am I having a boy or a girl?” Access to prenatal cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) screening is expanding broadly, and medical societies recommend cfDNA screening for all pregnancies.<span><sup>1, 2</sup></span> Prenatal cfDNA screening offers sex chromosome assessment for sex chromosome aneuploidy (sex chromosome complements other than XX or XY), along with other aneuploidy screening (for trisomies 13, 18, and 21), as early as 10 weeks’ gestation. Patients may have a limited understanding of the prevalence of aneuploidy in the general population, the implications of these differences, and the purpose of screening for them. This gap in understanding could lead patients to believe the test is solely about gender determination.</p><p>There is increased awareness that gender and sex diversity are essential components of health, health care, and social reality.<span><sup>3</sup></span> In this commentary, we posit that many prenatal HCPs are currently underprepared to talk to parents about fetal sex prediction and sex chromosome variation during the course of prenatal care in a manner that is accurate and inclusive of gender and sex diversity, which would promote family function and individual well-being for gender- and sex-diverse children and adults. This skill is relevant to midwives, nurses, genetic counselors, physicians, physician associates, radiologists, and radiology technicians. Of note, in this commentary, we have largely chosen to use the term <i>parents</i> to align with the focus on childhood gender socialization, presupposing a context of desired pregnancies leading to birth and parenting.</p><p>When prenatal HCPs tell patients, “It's a girl!” or “It's a boy!” they reinforce an erroneous bioessentialist framework: people with XX chromosomes or an apparent vulva are assigned female and socialized as girls, and people with XY chromosomes or an apparent penis are assigned male and socialized as boys. (See Table 1 for relevant terms and definitions.) However, a person's own construct of gender identity is the result of interactions between biological and social factors and relies on cognitive development across the life span. Misconceptions about both sex and gender that are often enacted during the prenatal period among HCPs and pregnant people include: (1) sex and gender are determined by sex chromosomes alone, (2) a person's sex chromosomes can only be XX or XY, and that sex is strictly binary, and (3) there are only 2 gender categories: boy or girl.<span><sup>4, 5</sup></span> These incorrect assumptions jeopardize the child's autonomy<span><sup>6</sup></span> and contribute to the inflexible binary social model and dimorphic biological model that underlie bigotry, erasure, phobias, and discrimination against gender-di

Introduction

Perinatal palliative care (PPC) is a rapidly growing and essential reproductive health care option for pregnant persons with a diagnosed life-limiting fetal condition who continue their pregnancy. The provision of PPC is within the scope of basic midwifery competencies, and midwives are well-positioned to make unique and valuable contributions to interprofessional PPC teams. However, little is known about midwives’ past or current involvement in PPC in the United States.

Methods

This scoping review of the literature investigated what is known about the role of midwives in PPC in the United States. Multiple databases of published literature were used for this review: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and relevant citations from identified studies. All types of English language publications addressing midwives’ involvement in PPC in the United States were included, without any limitations on publication date.

Results

The role and contributions of midwives in PPC is not well represented in existing literature. Of the 259 results identified, 7 publications met criteria for inclusion. These included 5 case reports, one quantitative research article, and one conference abstract. Midwives are involved in PPC through the provision of direct clinical care (including antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, neonatal, bereavement, postmortem, and follow-up care) and care planning and coordination as part of an interprofessional team.

Discussion

Despite midwives being uniquely positioned to provide holistic, family-centered, and person-centered care in situations of pregnancy with life-limiting fetal conditions, there is limited literature about their involvement in PPC in the United States. PPC should be incorporated into midwifery education and training programs. Midwives should play a central role in shaping future research and policies to ensure the accessibility and quality of PPC.

简介:围产期姑息治疗(PPC)是一种快速发展的重要生殖健康护理方式,适用于已确诊胎儿患有危及生命的疾病并继续妊娠的孕妇。提供姑息治疗属于助产士的基本能力范围,助产士完全有能力为跨专业姑息治疗团队做出独特而宝贵的贡献。然而,在美国,人们对助产士过去或现在参与 PPC 的情况知之甚少:本文献综述调查了美国助产士在全科护理中的作用。本综述使用了多个已发表文献的数据库:PubMed、CINAHL、Embase、Web of Science、ProQuest、Google Scholar,以及已确定研究的相关引文。所有涉及助产士在美国参与人流手术的英文出版物均被纳入,对出版日期没有任何限制:结果:助产士在 PPC 中的作用和贡献在现有文献中并没有得到很好的体现。在确定的 259 项结果中,有 7 篇出版物符合纳入标准。其中包括 5 篇病例报告、1 篇定量研究文章和 1 篇会议摘要。助产士通过提供直接临床护理(包括产前、产中、产后、新生儿、丧亲、死后和后续护理)以及作为跨专业团队的一部分进行护理规划和协调来参与 PPC:尽管助产士具有独特的优势,能够在妊娠期胎儿出现危及生命的情况下提供全面、以家庭为中心、以人为本的护理,但在美国,有关助产士参与全人护理的文献却十分有限。助产士教育和培训计划中应纳入 PPC。助产士应在制定未来的研究和政策方面发挥核心作用,以确保 PPC 的可及性和质量。

Exercise in Pregnancy 孕期运动
IF 2.1 4区 医学 Q2 NURSING Pub Date : 2024-07-07 DOI: 10.1111/jmwh.13672
<p>Most exercise is safe in a healthy pregnancy. Daily exercise can help you and your baby be healthier and decrease your chance of some problems during pregnancy. Exercise in pregnancy does not increase your chance of miscarriage, low birth weight, or early delivery. If you had a medical problem before you became pregnant or have had complications during your pregnancy, you should talk about the safety of exercise with your health care provider before you start any activity.</p><p>Exercise in pregnancy can help you in many ways. It can help you feel better and have less back pain, constipation, and tiredness. Exercise can also help you sleep better and improve your mood. Your body will be better prepared for labor. You may have a shorter labor with less chance of having a cesarean birth. You may gain less weight in pregnancy, which will help you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight more quickly after the baby comes. Exercise in pregnancy lowers your chance of gestational diabetes or high blood pressure during pregnancy. Your baby is more likely to be born with a healthy birth weight. Exercise can also lower the chance of having postpartum depression after the baby is born.</p><p>You should try to do moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. Moderate exercise means you should start to sweat and your heart rate should increase, but you are still able to talk while you are exercising. You can divide your exercise into whatever amounts work best in your life. Some find 30 minutes a day at one time works. Others prefer 10–15 minutes a few times a day. If you exercised before pregnancy, you can probably continue the same physical activities and intensity of exercise. If you are not currently exercising, pregnancy is a good time to start. You want to start slow and gradually increase your exercise.</p><p>Walking or swimming are good exercises to start with. You will get moving and have less strain on your joints. Biking, yoga, Pilates, and low-impact aerobics are also good choices. Light weight training is okay, too. Being creative with your exercise will help you stay motivated. Hiking, dancing, and rowing can be fun activities to try. You do not need to pay money for an exercise class or activity. Walking up and down stairs or doing exercises at home are all good, free activities.</p><p>Be sure to stretch your muscles first and warm up and cool down each time you exercise. Drink water throughout your exercise so you can stay well hydrated. Make sure you don't get too hot, and don't overdo your exercise especially on a hot day. During pregnancy, your balance changes as the baby grows so it is important to move carefully and always make sure you are not in danger of falling. Pregnancy hormones cause your joints to be more relaxed. They can be injured easier especially with jerky, bouncy, or high-impact movements. You have more oxygen needs in pregnancy. This can make it harder to breath, especially with hard exercise or for people with obesit
在健康的孕期,大多数运动都是安全的。日常锻炼可以让你和宝宝更健康,并降低孕期出现某些问题的几率。孕期运动不会增加流产、出生体重不足或早产的几率。如果您在怀孕前患有疾病或在怀孕期间出现过并发症,那么在开始任何活动之前,您都应该与您的医疗保健提供者讨论运动的安全性。它能让您感觉更好,减少背痛、便秘和疲倦。运动还能帮助您改善睡眠和心情。您的身体会为分娩做好更充分的准备。分娩时间可能会缩短,剖腹产的几率也会降低。孕期体重增加可能较少,这将有助于您在宝宝出生后更快地恢复到孕前体重。孕期运动可降低妊娠糖尿病或孕期高血压的发病几率。您的宝宝出生时体重更健康。运动还能降低宝宝出生后患上产后抑郁症的几率。您应尽量每周进行至少 150 分钟的适度运动。适度运动意味着您应该开始出汗,心率应该加快,但您在运动时仍然可以说话。您可以根据自己的生活情况,将运动量分配到最合适的程度。有些人认为每天 30 分钟的运动量很有效。其他人则喜欢一天几次,每次 10-15 分钟。如果您在怀孕前进行过运动,那么您可能可以继续进行同样的体育活动和运动强度。如果您目前没有运动,怀孕是开始运动的好时机。您应该从慢速开始,逐渐增加运动量。步行或游泳是很好的起步运动,既能锻炼身体,又能减轻关节的负担。骑自行车、瑜伽、普拉提和低强度有氧运动也是不错的选择。轻重量训练也可以。创造性地锻炼有助于保持运动动力。远足、跳舞和划船都是可以尝试的有趣活动。您不需要花钱去上锻炼课或参加锻炼活动。上下楼梯或在家做运动都是很好的免费活动。每次运动时,一定要先拉伸肌肉,热身和降温。在整个运动过程中都要喝水,以保持充足的水分。确保不要太热,尤其是在大热天,不要做过量的运动。怀孕期间,随着胎儿的成长,您的平衡能力也会发生变化,因此一定要小心运动,并始终确保您不会有摔倒的危险。孕期荷尔蒙会让您的关节更加放松。尤其是在做生涩、颠簸或高冲击力的动作时,关节更容易受伤。孕期对氧气的需求量更大。这会导致呼吸困难,尤其是剧烈运动或肥胖者。避免平躺。你可以在臀部下方垫一个枕头或毛巾,这样你仍然可以做可能需要这种姿势的运动。穿运动胸罩可以支撑乳房。倾听身体发出的警告信号。如果您对某项运动不确定,请先咨询您的医疗服务提供者。本讲义取代2014年7月/8月第59卷第4期出版的 "孕期运动"。医护人员可出于非商业目的复制本页,与客户分享。任何其他复制行为均需获得《助产与amp; 妇女健康杂志》的批准。本页中的信息和建议在大多数情况下是适当的,但不能代替医疗诊断。有关您个人医疗状况的具体信息,《助产及妇女健康杂志》建议您咨询您的医疗保健提供者。

Outpatient perinatal care providers (one certified nurse-midwife, one nurse practitioner, and one physician assistant) at a high-volume, suburban health system in southeastern Pennsylvania developed and implemented a care model to identify and care for patients at risk for perinatal and postpartum mental health conditions. The program, Women Adjusting to Various Emotional States (WAVES), was created to bring the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatment recommendations to patients while addressing the increased demand placed on the health care system by pregnant and postpartum patients in need of psychiatric services. WAVES is a specialized program offered for anyone who is pregnant or up to one year postpartum who is struggling with mental health symptoms or concerns. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders have become one of the most prevalent pregnancy ailments, yet mental health is not always addressed during routine prenatal care visits. Common obstacles to patients obtaining mental health care during pregnancy include lack of access, clinician gaps in knowledge, and stigma surrounding diagnoses. WAVES offers a method to empower perinatal providers with the education and tools to address this need. The model outlines how to appropriately assess, diagnose, manage, or refer patients for mental health services. Patient feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and this novel care model shows great promise for the future of perinatal care. The development of integrated programs like WAVES may be a valuable resource to help combat the perinatal mental health epidemic.

宾夕法尼亚州东南部郊区的一个大容量医疗系统的围产期门诊护理人员(一名注册助产士、一名执业护士和一名助理医师)开发并实施了一种护理模式,以识别和护理围产期和产后心理健康问题的高危患者。该项目名为 "妇女适应各种情绪状态(WAVES)",旨在为患者提供最新的循证治疗建议,同时满足需要精神科服务的孕妇和产后患者对医疗保健系统日益增长的需求。WAVES 是一项专门的计划,适用于任何有心理健康症状或问题的孕妇或产后一年以内的患者。围产期情绪和焦虑障碍已成为最常见的妊娠疾病之一,但在常规产前检查中,心理健康问题并不总能得到解决。患者在怀孕期间获得心理健康护理的常见障碍包括缺乏途径、临床医生的知识空白以及围绕诊断的污名化。WAVES 提供了一种方法,让围产期医疗服务提供者有能力通过教育和工具来满足这一需求。该模式概述了如何恰当地评估、诊断、管理或转介患者接受心理健康服务。患者的反馈非常积极,这种新颖的护理模式为围产期护理的未来带来了巨大的希望。像 WAVES 这样的综合项目的发展可能会成为帮助应对围产期心理健康流行病的宝贵资源。

IntroductionWomen experiencing homelessness are at higher risk of unintended pregnancy than women who are stably housed and may have unique reasons for not engaging in postpartum pregnancy prevention. This sequential explanatory mixed‐methods study aimed to examine reasons women experiencing homelessness may not engage in pregnancy prevention during the postpartum period.MethodsQuantitative 2016‐2019 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data regarding postpartum pregnancy prevention among recently pregnant women experiencing homelessness and women stably housed (n = 99,138) were analyzed with complex survey‐weighted bivariate analysis. Primary outcomes included whether women engaged in postpartum contraception and key reasons for not engaging in postpartum contraception. Qualitative data from semistructured interviews with north Texas women (n = 12) recently pregnant and homeless were coded and thematically analyzed. Findings were triangulated using a woman‐centered conceptual framework that facilitates meeting reproductive goals.ResultsWomen experiencing homelessness reported several statistically significant (P < .05) reasons for not using postpartum pregnancy prevention: currently pregnant, currently abstinent, cannot afford contraception, and partner not liking contraception. Key themes from interviews were related to internal factors (eg, perceived risk of pregnancy is high, current situation not good for having children); external factors (eg, my partner wants to have another child); perceptions of pregnancy (eg, children would be joyful, I want to get pregnant soon after I get housing), and salience of planning (eg, doesn't matter if we plan).DiscussionFindings highlight several key reasons for not engaging in postpartum pregnancy prevention among women experiencing homelessness. Findings lay the groundwork for interventions seeking to support individualized and evolving sexual and reproductive health goals within the context of needed housing and family resources.
导言经历无家可归的女性比有稳定住所的女性意外怀孕的风险更高,她们可能有独特的原因不参与产后怀孕预防。这项顺序解释性混合方法研究旨在研究经历无家可归的女性在产后可能不进行怀孕预防的原因。方法通过复杂的调查加权双变量分析,对2016-2019年妊娠风险评估监测系统中有关最近怀孕的经历无家可归的女性和稳定居住的女性(n=99138)产后怀孕预防的定量数据进行分析。主要结果包括妇女是否进行了产后避孕以及未进行产后避孕的主要原因。对来自北德克萨斯州最近怀孕且无家可归的妇女(n = 12)的半结构式访谈的定性数据进行了编码和主题分析。结果无家可归的妇女报告了不采取产后避孕措施的几个具有统计学意义(P < .05)的原因:目前怀孕、目前禁欲、负担不起避孕药具、伴侣不喜欢避孕药具。访谈的关键主题涉及内部因素(例如,认为怀孕的风险很高,目前的情况不适合生孩子);外部因素(例如,我的伴侣想再要一个孩子);对怀孕的看法(例如,孩子会很快乐,我想在找到住房后尽快怀孕),以及计划的显著性(例如,我们是否计划并不重要)。讨论研究结果强调了无家可归妇女不进行产后避孕的几个关键原因。研究结果为在所需住房和家庭资源的背景下寻求支持个性化和不断发展的性健康和生殖健康目标的干预措施奠定了基础。
