This document discusses the nursing shortage crisis in the United States. It summarizes surveys that found nurses are overburdened, dissatisfied with their work, and concerned about patient safety due to inadequate staffing levels. It also cites research showing decreased nurse staffing correlates with increased medical errors. The document proposes several solutions to address the shortage including improving nurse compensation and work conditions, increasing nursing school enrollments, regulating nurse-to-patient ratios, and making hospitals more "nursing-driven" organizations.
Florence Nightingale was a pioneer of modern nursing who gained fame for her work during the Crimean War. She arrived in Istanbul in 1854 and aided soldiers at a military hospital, gaining the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp." Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy and trained as a nurse in the 1850s before working to reform sanitary conditions in military hospitals. She helped found the modern nursing profession through her example of compassionate patient care and died in 1910 at the age of 90.
Nursing informatics involves using technology and information management to support nursing practice, education, administration, and research. It encompasses managing data, information, and knowledge from various sources and networks to provide instruction, facts, and details. The goal is to gain comprehension, insight, and wisdom about nursing practice through the use of technology and information.
Madeleine Leininger developed the Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality to understand how culture influences people's health, illness, and care needs. The theory posits that care is influenced by cultural and social factors and varies between cultures, while some aspects of care are universal. Leininger used ethnographic research methods to understand emic and etic perspectives on care and developed the Sunrise Enabler model to guide culturally congruent nursing care practices. The theory emphasizes understanding a person's worldview and providing care, preservation, accommodation, or restructuring of cultural practices.

Hildegard Peplau was the first nursing theorist published in over a century. She created the nursing theory of Interpersonal Relations, which focused on the nurse-patient relationship and revolutionized nursing as a scholarly discipline. Peplau drew from her experiences as a nurse and student of psychology to develop a theory based on empirical evidence from analyzing nurse-patient interactions. Her theory established concepts of nursing roles, phases of the relationship, and techniques like process recording that are still used in nursing education today.
This document discusses the history of computers in nursing from the 1950s to the present.

Dorothea Orem developed the Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing, which has three related parts: the theory of self-care, theory of self-care deficit, and theory of nursing systems. The theory proposes that nursing is needed when an individual is unable to independently meet their self-care needs. Orem identified different types of self-care requisites and proposed systems for how nurses can help meet patient's self-care needs either wholly, partly, or through education. The theory provides a framework for nursing practice, education, and research. It has been widely used and has influenced nursing practice and education.
This document discusses the importance of caring in nursing. It defines caring from four perspectives: having a sense of caring, doing for others what they cannot do for themselves, caring for medical problems, and competence in carrying out procedures. The document emphasizes that caring involves being physically present with patients, engaging in dialogue, active listening, maintaining confidentiality, and believing in patients. Caring involves competence in intellectual, psychological, spiritual and physical aspects of care, and can be expressed through spiritual presence, touch, listening and knowing patients.
Faye Glenn Abdellah developed the "Twenty-One Nursing Problems" which categorized common patient health issues and nursing responsibilities into 21 problems. These problems fall under basic needs, sustaining care needs, remedial care needs, and restorative care needs. Abdellah believed nursing care should be based on research and solving identified problems. Her theory transformed nursing from a disease-focused to a patient-centered approach and provided a framework for assessing patients, planning care, and evaluating outcomes. While strong in orienting nursing actions, the theory lacks emphasis on client-defined goals and could be more holistic. Overall, it guided the development of evidence-based, problem-solving nursing care.

Lydia Hall developed a nursing theory in the late 1960s that defined nursing care as consisting of three interlocking levels: care, core, and cure. Care involves nurturing and comforting the patient through activities like teaching. Core focuses on developing a relationship with the patient using therapeutic communication to help them express feelings and develop maturity. Cure involves helping patients through medical treatments prescribed by doctors, taking on a more negative role of avoiding pain. The theory emphasizes providing total care to individuals from birth to end of life that considers all three aspects.

Litigation issue on midwives profession and carrier pathwayKEBIDANANUIT
This document discusses litigation issues related to the midwifery profession and career pathway in Malaysia. It provides an overview of the laws and regulations governing midwifery practice in Malaysia, including the Midwives Act of 1966. The document outlines the code of conduct for midwives, which emphasizes maintaining high standards of care. It then defines litigation and discusses common causes of liability for nurses, such as issues with treatment, communication, medication administration, and patient monitoring. The document reviews literature on obstetric malpractice cases and the factors most often involved, such as fetal monitoring and shoulder dystocia. It concludes by examining some common areas of liability and patient harm in clinical practice, such as interpretation of fetal heart rate patterns.
A review of support available for loss in early and late pregnancyNHS Improving Quality
A review of support available for loss in early and late pregnancy
It has been well documented that the loss of a pregnancy at any stage is an emotional and stressful time and affects every family member in some way. Some still feel that miscarriage and stillbirth, along with neonatal death, are taboo subjects as pregnancy and childbirth are seen as happy life events. This is compounded by a western culture which still struggles to talk about death openly. There are particular challenges for women who miscarry early in pregnancy as they may not have shared their news with family, friends and work colleagues but may have known of the pregnancy very early due to the sophistication of home pregnancy testing.
This report:
- Scopes what support currently exists for women and families across England who experience loss at less than 24 weeks gestation
- Scopes what support exists for women and families across England who experience loss at greater than 24 weeks gestation
- Scopes what support exists for stillbirth, pre and post-delivery, identifies the key charities involved in this and determines what they offer
- Identifies areas of good practice, soft intelligence and stories from women with experience of loss.
The document discusses pursuing a PhD in Human Development versus obtaining Midwifery Licensure. It expresses confusion about the differences between nurse midwives and those with a CPM licensure who have a Master's in Midwifery. It asks how someone with a Master's in Midwifery and three years of training cannot legally perform exams or births. It questions why midwives with extensive education are pushed to the sidelines and seen as lacking by their peers.
The document discusses the goals, standards, and legal basis of maternal and child health nursing. The primary goal is to promote and maintain optimal family health to ensure healthy childbearing and childrearing. Maternal and child health nursing must be family-centered, community-centered, and research-oriented according to common standards that aim to protect patient safety, autonomy, and privacy.
Impact of neonatal nurses’ guidelines on improving their knowledgeAlexander Decker
The document discusses a study that evaluated the impact of guidelines on neonatal nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding kangaroo mother care. The study found that the guidelines improved nurses' knowledge and practices in supporting kangaroo mother care, which facilitates parent-infant bonding. Kangaroo mother care involves skin-to-skin contact between a parent and premature infant and provides physiological and developmental benefits. While nurses saw benefits, some had concerns about safety and workload that could influence implementation of kangaroo mother care practices. Education is important for nurses to gain knowledge and skills in facilitating kangaroo mother care, but changing attitudes is also important for improving adoption of related practices.

This document discusses models of midwifery care in Central New York and summarizes a presentation given by two midwives. The presentation covered three main points: 1) It discussed models of care that use midwifery for healthy women during pregnancy and well woman care. 2) It discussed research findings that support safe and healthy outcomes for physiologic labor and birth. 3) It facilitated collaboration of a healthcare team to provide comprehensive safe maternity care for women in Central New York.
Improving Maternal and Neonatal Health Outcomes by Engaging the Whole FamilyKidsintheMiddle
This document discusses improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes through engaging families. It notes that in 2012 there were nearly 700,000 births in England but the NHS only had enough midwives for 565,000 births, and midwives were getting older on average. The complexity of pregnancies is increasing as well due to factors like obesity. A family-centered app called Maternity Assist aims to relieve pressure on midwives by providing pregnancy information to families online and engaging them throughout the process.
This document discusses issues with the UK maternity system, including lack of choice for women, variations in costs and outcomes, and low staff morale. It presents evidence that midwife-led continuity of care models provide better and more cost-effective outcomes than traditional hospital-based systems. However, only a small percentage of women currently experience midwifery-led care or choice in place of birth. The document uses East Lancashire as a case study of a successful integrated midwifery model providing high rates of normal birth and continuity of care. It urges providers to evaluate their own systems and consider how to better support women's choices and preferences for birth.
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.
This document discusses respectful maternity care (RMC) and disrespect and abuse during childbirth. It notes that while childbirth is a physiological process, medical complications can occur requiring an obstetrician's skills. However, mistakes can have devastating impacts. Globally, efforts aim to reduce maternal mortality by ensuring access to skilled care. The document defines RMC as evidence-based, humane, dignified care that respects women's rights. It identifies 10 objective components of RMC including freedom from harm, privacy, informed consent, and effective communication. The document concludes that women have a right to freedom from harm, that RMC components should be taught in medical schools, and future violations could result in high legal liability

'Letting the Future In' an intervention for child sexual abuse: from practice...BASPCAN
This document summarizes the partnership between the NSPCC and two universities to develop and evaluate an intervention for child sexual abuse called Letting the Future In (LTFI). It describes how NSPCC studies found a gap between need for therapeutic services for child sexual abuse victims and what was available. Practitioners then created LTFI which was piloted and implemented. An independent evaluation was commissioned including a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously evaluate LTFI's effectiveness. Overcoming challenges, the RCT recruited 242 children and was the largest of its kind. It aimed to provide high-quality evidence on LTFI's impact to inform practice and policy.

Young People's Perspectives on Recognising and Telling about Abuse and NeglectBASPCAN
This document summarizes a study on young people's perspectives on recognizing and disclosing abuse and neglect. The study included a literature review, analysis of an online peer support site, and interviews with 30 vulnerable young people aged 11-20. It developed a framework for understanding how young people recognize, tell about, and get help for abuse, which influences practitioners. The framework shows recognition, telling, and help can be partial, hidden, signs-based, or purposeful. It also examines how related interventions can help symptoms or underlying causes, and influence trust, effectiveness, and duration of support over time. The implications are that practitioners should not rely on verbal disclosure, be sensitive to the challenges of telling, and see that recognition may come
WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DISCLOSURE ACROSS THE DE...BASPCAN
This document summarizes a study comparing narratives of child sexual abuse disclosure between young people and adults. It found that young people were more likely to disclose due to a "pressure cooker effect" of emotions building up over time or being directly asked about signs of distress. In contrast, adults were more likely to blame themselves for the abuse and believed telling would make the situation worse. The study highlights the importance of creating an environment where children feel believed and supported to disclose abuse.
The document summarizes a study that examined informal and formal support structures for young people who experienced child abuse. 53 young women and 7 young men between ages 18-24 who reported extensive victimization were interviewed. On average, it took 7.8 years to disclose experiences of child sexual abuse. Most initial disclosures were to informal sources like family and friends. Barriers to disclosure included lack of knowledge that the abuse was wrong and lack of trusted adults. Missed opportunities for intervention were identified at the individual, family, community, and system levels. Key recommendations included providing youth appropriate information about relationships early on, communicating with youth directly and sensitively, and ensuring professionals notice signs of struggle and ask youth directly about their experiences.
The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program is a 12-module home-based parenting program that aims to reduce child abuse potential, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The modules can be addressed in any order based on family priorities and are supplemented by liaison with other social services. Studies have found the PuP program reduces child abuse potential, parental stress and improves child behavior, and for every 100 families treated there would be an estimated savings of AU$3.1 million.
Improving Decision-Making in Pre-birth Assessment: The OxPUP ProjectBASPCAN
This document summarizes the OxPUP (Oxford Pre-birth Pathway) project, which aims to improve decision-making in pre-birth assessments. It describes the OxPUP pathway, which involves identifying high-risk families during pregnancy and providing intervention. It also discusses tools used in pre-birth and postnatal assessments. The document presents two case studies, one where the child remained with their parents and one where the child was removed at birth. It finds that OxPUP cases had lower foster care costs and shorter court times compared to non-OxPUP cases.

1) The document describes the introduction of the Parents Under Pressure (PuP) program at Coolmine Therapeutic Community in Dublin to address gaps in supporting the parent-child relationship for mothers in residential treatment.
2) Quantitative and qualitative data were collected pre, mid, and post intervention to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of PuP. Results showed reductions in depression, anxiety and stress levels as well as improvements in parent-child functioning.
3) Qualitative interviews found that PuP helped participants better understand how their childhood trauma and addiction had negatively impacted parenting, but also increased hope by providing mindfulness techniques and a supportive group environment.

Young advisors from over 100 teenagers aged 13-21 across several European countries were engaged to advise on a project about increasing safety regarding new technologies and intimate partner violence. The advisors provided input on developing the project website and materials. Challenges included low online discussion participation and high turnover of advisors. Strategies to address this included providing incentives, flexible timing of meetings, and discussing issues in new ways like drawing. Key issues were lack of advisor ownership of the online space and lack of direct cross-country discussions. Recommendations included giving advisors control of social media and enabling international meetings.

This document summarizes key findings from a study on young people's experiences with interpersonal violence and abuse both online and offline. The study included 100 interviews with young people ages 15-18 in several European countries. Key findings included:
1. Experiences of controlling behavior and surveillance both online and offline were normalized by some youth. This included pressure to share passwords and social media accounts.
2. Sending and receiving unwanted sexual images online was also normalized in some areas, though it caused distress for others, especially in tight-knit communities.
3. Both sexual pressure and physical/emotional violence occurred offline as well, with young women disproportionately impacted.
4. New technologies played a role

This document summarizes a study exploring intimate partner violence among young people in five European countries. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including expert workshops, a survey of 4,500 14-17 year olds, interviews with 100 young people, and development of an app. The survey finds high rates of online and offline emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Girls report more negative impacts than boys. Factors like family violence, bullying, and gendered attitudes predict greater risk. The study also examines sending and sharing of sexual images, finding it associated with greater intimate partner violence risk, especially for girls.

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 2BASPCAN
In Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India, with a population of 1.7 million people, only around 1800 have access to reliable quality professional services. Most pediatricians in the area have little awareness of the importance of early intervention for children. Developmental disabilities can be present from birth or acquired later in life due to factors like malnutrition, anemia, neglect, or lack of stimulation, and many acquired disabilities can be prevented by proper care and support during early childhood years.

An Inclusive and Families Strengths Based Approach in Child ProtectionBASPCAN
This document discusses East Lothian Council's adoption of a strengths-based, inclusive approach to child protection called Signs of Safety. It notes key reports and legislation driving this change and outlines East Lothian's multi-year implementation process beginning in 2011 with workshops and establishing governance groups. This included introducing Signs of Safety for initial case conferences in 2013 and all conferences, supervision, and core groups by 2014. Feedback found professionals and families felt meetings were inclusive and addressed risks fully, though plans were sometimes incomplete. This led to a research project on making plans more specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based.
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

1. The Safeguarding Role of the
Midwife
Where is the Supervision?
Virginia Hewitt - Head of Safeguarding Children
ABMU Health Board South Wales UK
1
2. Background
MA in Medical Humanities 2011
Named Midwife for Safeguarding Children
Acknowledged the impact of the midwife’s
safeguarding role and a potential lack of support
Identified the subtle nature of the ‘midwife – woman’
relationship and how this may conflict with protecting
the newborn
Set out to evaluate whether statutory supervision
supports the midwife’s role in safeguarding children
2
3. Methodology
Literature Search using humanistic principles
The role of the midwife was explored using literary and
historical references
The midwife’s safeguarding role includes ethical and
legal dilemmas such as the removal of the baby at
birth
Aspects of safeguarding supervision were considered
as well as statutory supervision of midwives
3
5. ‘As Old As the Hills!’
An ancient profession
- Anthropological evidence
- Ancient Greece
- Biblical references
Originally female – myd wyf – with woman
Other terms – priestesses, wise women, gamps,
witches, god-sips, hags
5
6. The Professional Midwife
End of C19 – need for social reform, improve health of
poor
Medicalisation of birth
Sairy Gamp image ‘dirty drink-sodden
old hag without skill or conscience’
(Leap and Hunter 2003)
Midwives became professionalised in 1902
6
7. Early Safeguarding Role
Biblical reference - Protecting Hebrew baby boys from
death
Babies baptised during or straight after birth to prevent
being ‘firebrands of hell’ (Thomas 1971)
Testifying in court with regards to infanticide
7
8. Midwife’s Safeguarding Role Today
Often first professional to work with potential new
parents so need to recognise early signs of neglect
and abuse
Public health role - smoking/domestic
abuse/substance use/mental health – impact on
unborn & baby
Teenage Pregnancy
The younger they are the more vulnerable they are
Midwives have a responsibility up until 28 days after
birth
8
9. Unique role of the midwife
Cares for mother and baby together not as two separate entities
Works in partnership with women
(International Confederation of Midwives 2005)
Professional Accountability to keep mother and baby together
Supports mother re choices - refuses antenatal care, birth at
home, free birth, lotus birth
‘Balance the need to act in the best interests of people at all times
with the requirement to respect a person’s right to accept or
refuse treatment’ (NMC 2015)
Caring for the woman when the baby dies – stillbirth/miscarriage
BUT also when baby is removed from mother due to child
protection concerns
9
10. Conflict in Responsibilities
A legal requirement to ‘safeguard and promote the
welfare of children’ (Children Act 2004)
Responsibility to report issues that could affect unborn
and/or baby
Unborn has no legal rights – Birth Plans to remove
Removal at birth is unlawful unless instructed by court
of law
The safeguarding role of the midwife is not widely
recognised
10
11. Comments
‘ I have felt a great responsibility re child protection, but
at the same time feeling quite inadequate to meet that
responsibility.’
‘ The amount of time we spend ensuring that we fulfil our
duty to these women AND their babies not to mention
their often abusive partners by far outweighs the
actual time spent with the woman.’
(Midwives on RCM Forum 2010)
11
12. The origins of Midwifery Supervision
Following professionalisation of midwives in 1902 –
Inspectors of Midwives were introduced
Punitive Role
‘Usually ‘respectable’ women such as clergymen’s
daughters’ - some suggest ‘patronising and
judgemental’ (Heagerty 2006)
1937 – renamed supervisors – more supportive and
to have ‘sympathy and tact’ (Rutherford 2009)
12
13. Supervision of Midwifery Today
To protect the public from malpractice
Statutory Requirement – Midwives’ Rules
Not clinical supervision
Some supportive elements mainly practice related
Safeguarding Children issues not acknowledged in
midwifery supervision training material
13
14. Two Hats
Managed or Supported?
‘To root out bad practice is very different from
the support skills needed to foster the
confidence in the face of uncertainty’
(Kirkham 1996)
14
15. Safeguarding Supervision
Focus on practitioner
Developed from models of clinical supervision
Restorative – listening, challenging, supportive
Allows practitioner to identify & clarify situations which
have legal, professional and ethical components
Managerial aspect to reduce risk
Recommended as essential protective factor in child
protection work (Laming 2003, 2009)
15
16. Findings
Professionals working within the safeguarding children
arena find the work emotionally demanding
Midwifery work - high emotional content
The safeguarding role of the midwife is not always
acknowledged in comparison for example to the health
visitor
An assumption that supervision of midwifery provides
appropriate support
16
17. Recent Changes
Serious failings - Maternity Unit Morecambe Bay
Ombudsman – Review of Midwifery Regulation 2013
‘ Midwifery supervision and regulation should be separate as it led
to a conflict of interest between midwives and supervisors’
Kings Fund Review of Midwifery Regulation 2014
‘The additional layer of regulation...for midwives and the extended
role for the NMC over statutory supervision should end’
Morecambe Bay Report 2015
‘Urgent response to King’s Fund findings with effective reform’
17
18. Recommendations
Royal College of Midwives are determined to retain the supportive
aspect of supervision and the responsibility of the future of
midwifery supervision now sits with the chief nursing officers
Ideal opportunity to explore the safeguarding role of
the midwife
Further research to understand some of the dilemmas
midwives face within this important role
Devise a model of supervision that will empower and
support the midwife
18
19. Conclusion
It has been argued that the relationship between
mother and baby is the most powerful relationship
human beings experience (Taylor 1996)
Midwives sometimes become part of a process that
breaks that bond.
This can cause emotional distress for a midwife whose
prime focus is the mother
Good safeguarding supervision is needed to support
the midwife and to ensure the safety of the baby.

Anthropology – thought the way in which women deliver (face back as opposed to monkeys who deliver face forward) then they would need a birth attendant – ‘human birth seldom easy and rarely unattended – Rosenburg and Trevathen 2003)
The midwife said ‘fear not – you will have a son to Rachel wife of Jacob
(could be compared today to a midwife having to testify against a mother in relation to her parenting skills
In the book of Exodus the Pharoah orders all Hebrew baby boys to be killed. The midwives state that Egyptian women labour vigorously so babies born before midwives get to them
It was thought that if you were not baptised you would go to hell and unbaptised babies were the firebrands of heel so midwives would baptise babies during or shortly after birth – gave them a very powerful position
Correlation between these public health issues andnegative sffects on parenting skills have been well documented
Children living in domestic abuse households 60% risk of child abuse
