This book provides essential knowledge and tools for home visitors and other parent-facing professionals to build trusting relationships with pregnant and postpartum clients, in order to provide them with the information, guidance, resources, and signposting they need to avoid adverse health outcomes. Adverse health outcomes as a result of pregnancy and birth affect millions each year, affecting physical and mental health – and in some cases resulting in death. Due to bias and persistent socioeconomic disparities, certain groups are more at risk for these poor outcomes.

Sitting within a social determinants of health framework, this practical guide summarizes the most relevant research and translates it into action steps. Each chapter will address a key issue related to morbidity and mortality in relation to pregnancy and birth, including statistics, key definitions, and discussion of risk factors, protective factors and disparities. Case studies, reflective questions, and recommendations make it straightforward for the reader to apply the learning to their own practice.

This book is an invaluable resource for all those health, community, and social service providers, including home visitors, who work with families, parents to be, and new parents.

The book begins by exploring the history of mentoring and its relationship to education and practice. Theories and models of mentorship, education and leadership within the context of midwifery will be discussed, along with the importance of critical thinking and reflection. The editors use the lens of global mentoring to focus on how mentoring in midwifery has developed and been implemented in 15 countries from North and Central America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia. Each chapter explores regulation, professional accountability, education, leadership and career pathways in the country in question.

This international text draws on the perspectives of Australian mentors, mentees, healthcare organisations and academics to highlight the complexities of mentorship in real work midwifery practice, and includes a chapter discussing how to take cultural considerations into question. The final chapters draw on the previous discussion to make recommendations that will support midwifery to implement and sustain a successful and supportive mentorship program for the next generation of midwives.

In this book, authors often refer to midwives as women to reflect the gendered nature of subordination of midwifery. While most midwives globally are women providing care to women, not all midwives in Mexico or globally identify as women. We acknowledge and celebrate the diverse identities of midwives, as this is the best way to build an environment that guarantees enabling sexual and reproductive care for all people who need midwives. Further, the term First Nations which is used is a collective term that refers to Indigenous Australian and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. First Nations peoples will refer to themselves by any of these terms and may also identify through language groups. This term is used in acknowledgement that First Nations peoples have the right of self‑determination to identify however they choose to do so.

This book is an invaluable read for midwifery students, educators and practitioners.

Bringing a design perspective to the birth environment, this fascinating book collects and critically examines the knowledge we have. It exposes the social, political, and historical thinking that influences the way birth spaces have been designed and looks at how they can be designed in future.

The book starts by examining changing historical attitudes to childbirth and uses maternity and architectural policy and practice to develop this story. It explores both the idea of “fitting childbirth into the machine” and the resistance to this, along with the emergence of the idea of the birth environment. From there, it describes the best evidence we have on how the design of spaces impact on childbirth experiences and outcomes. Drawing on an international selection of case studies, the book gives the reader insights into regional differences in birth culture and environments across the globe and offers the opportunity to imagine birth environments of the future based on the most up-to-date evidence from medicine, midwifery, anthropology, design, and architecture.

Including practical recommendations as well as big picture thinking, this book is written for all those with an interest in creating the best possible environments for childbirth as part of supporting a healthy start to a child’s life. It is especially relevant for midwives, and other maternity care practitioners and administrators.

Sexuell übertragbare Erkrankungen gehören zu den häufigsten übertragenen Infektionen, mit denen sich ärztlich Tätige in der Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe in der täglichen Praxis konfrontiert sehen. Während die “klassischen Geschlechtskrankheiten” (Syphilis, Gonorrhoe, Ulcus molle und Lymphogranuloma venereum) aufgrund der geringen Inzidenz in unseren Breitengraden zwar eine wichtige, aber mittlerweile untergeordnete Rolle spielen, nimmt die Bedeutung von Hepatitis B, HIV-Infektion und AIDS, Herpes genitalis, Infektionen mit Chlamydia trachomatis oder HPV weiter zu. Viele dieser Infektionen bleiben primär ohne Symptome, können jedoch weiterreichende Konsequenzen wie ungewollte Kinderlosigkeit, Fehlgeburten oder sogar Krebserkrankungen haben.

Die einzelnen Infektionen werden systematisch und übersichtlich in eigenen Kapiteln aufbereitet. Zu finden sind alle wichtige Fakten und Details zu Erreger, Inzidenz, Risikofaktoren, Epidemiologie, Klinik, Diagnostik, Komplikationen, Therapie sowie Prophylaxe und– wo relevant – zur Bedeutung in der Geburtshilfe und Neonatologie.

Den schnellen Zugriff auf die gesuchte Information gewährleisten viele übersichtliche Algorithmen und Tabellen für Diagnostik und Therapie unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen nationalen und internationalen Leitlinien und Empfehlungen.
