Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are advanced practice registered nurses who provide primary care to women across their lifespan, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. CNMs receive a graduate-level education and certification. Research shows CNMs have equivalent or better outcomes compared to physicians and provide more holistic, patient-centered care at a lower cost. While CNM practice has grown over time, further legislative actions could help increase access to CNM care and services.

Why Midwifery? Childbirth Choices

kristilynne84

Midwifery has a long history in the United States dating back to when midwives attended mostly poor women in their homes. In the late 1800s, childbirth shifted to a medical model with doctors attending more births. Midwifery continued to grow with the establishment of nurse-midwifery programs and practices. Today, midwives provide care in various settings like hospitals, birth centers, and homes and focus on empowering women throughout their lifespan, not just during birth. They promote natural childbirth and use interventions judiciously when needed.

Legal and ethical aspects in obg 0109

Krupa Meet Patel

National, state, and institutional standards and policies provide the legal and ethical framework that governs midwifery practice. Midwives must be licensed by the state where they practice and follow both national standards of practice and policies of the institutions where they work. Professional negligence and malpractice issues can arise if a midwife breaches her duty of care or causes injury through improper care. The ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice guide midwives in providing care and making decisions. Preparing for parenthood involves addressing lifestyle, health, financial, and psychological factors before conception to help ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.

1. The document examines the role of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) in maternal and child healthcare in Ghana's Yendi District. 2. It finds that TBAs currently assist with about 50-80% of births in remote communities due to limited access to formal healthcare. They provide antenatal education and postpartum support in addition to delivery assistance. 3. While TBA training programs in the past were ineffective at reducing mortality without additional support, TBAs can still help by facilitating access to information, clinical services, and timely referrals of complications. The document analyzes TBAs' current contributions within the Yendi District's healthcare system.

This document summarizes key issues related to racial and ethnic mental health disparities in the United States.

Untreated conditions can lead to worse outcomes and higher costs.

Gender, culture and race

University of Miami

The document discusses how gender, culture, race, and other factors must be considered in mental health treatment. Therapists need self-awareness of their own backgrounds and should tailor treatment to each client's individual circumstances. Culturally-sensitive treatment involves understanding a client's cultural experiences, values, and worldview rather than imposing mainstream perspectives. When working with LGBT clients specifically, therapists must avoid prejudice, recognize diverse relationships and families, and continue educating themselves on LGBT issues.

1 DQ 1 Community and public health nurses consider the e.docx

croftsshanon

1 DQ 1 Community and public health nurses consider the effect of ethnicity, culture, spiritual values, and geographic and socioeconomic conditions on the wellness of the population. Diverse populations have various health disparities and health inequities that affect their ability to maintain health and meet health care needs , according to Green (2018). One of the essential roles of a community health nurse is to educate and provide best care practices that promote optimal health. They educate the client tailoring to their needs, as the needs of the population have changed. Being a community health nurse is not just tending to the homebound geriatric population. Nurses also visit group homes to provide monthly antipsychotic medications to clients and manage their medications, for example. They are needed to manage cases of patients when it is not easily accessible to travel to hospitals or physician offices. There are a variety of examples of care they provide are providing hospice care, wound care, assessing the needs of the homeless or addicted population, or a school nurse. Nurse guide and coordinate essential services needed such as social workers, and counselling services. Community nurses can help promote local resources available to the patient that are not aware such programs are available, such as community youth programs. In order to plan interventions or treatment nurses must be aware of services offered by the community. An example may be a mental health nurse assisting a patient that has been affected by a death of a family member. Educating the patient on the stages of grief is vital and providing local resources to attend counselling or grief groups will help that patient gain a sense of understanding through members of their community to help them process a great loss with other people that are going through the same thing. A Pastor can help counsel a patient to understand the spiritual reasons of death and help them turn to their church leaders for strength and guidance. Respond to the above post discussion using 200-300 words with references supporting discussion Explain the role of the community health nurse in partnership with community stakeholders for population health promotion. Explain why it is important to appraise community resources (nonprofit, spiritual/religious, etc.) as part of a community assessment and why these resources are important in population health promotion. .

Minority Mental Health Month: Lifting the Burden of Disparities

sean3dunlap5

Discrimination exacerbates mental health and substance use disorders among minority communities by creating barriers to accessing quality healthcare. Minority Mental Health Month aims to raise awareness of these disparities. While conversations around behavioral health are increasing, negative perceptions persist, especially in minority groups, due to cultural beliefs, distrust in the healthcare system from past discrimination, and potential bias among providers. Expanding access points like primary care and ensuring a diverse, culturally competent healthcare workforce can help address these disparities. Federal initiatives promote these goals to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for all populations.

But a humanity’s culture also influences an individual’s principles, customs and beliefs. It influences in what way you view confident concepts or behaviors, and in the event of mental health, it can influence whether or not you pursue help, what type of help you pursue and what sustenance you have nearby you. It is significant that we understand the role culture plays in mental health care so we can sustenance our loved ones and inspire treatment once it is required most. (Kapil, Rubina, 2019). There are four ways culture be able to influence mental health: - Cultural stigma . Each culture has a diverse method of seeing at mental health.

Culture can significantly influence mental health in several ways. Cultural stigma around mental illness may make it harder for those struggling to seek help. Understanding of symptoms and available resources may also be impacted by culture. Effective communication that is culturally sensitive, congruent, and transparent can help improve healthcare access and quality by accounting for these cultural influences. Mental health professionals need cultural competence to recognize these impacts and provide appropriate care.
