Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

on one small area until you have completed the
area you started.

Editor's Notes
Hello, Great crowd today. Thank you all for inviting me to speak on Hoarding. I hope you leave with some addiitonal knowledge about hoarding... as well, I hope to learn from you.
How many of you know someone who is a hoarder...a relative, friend, ? How many of you have clients who are or were hoarders?
There are universal messages about hoarders and hoarding that stay true. No gender difference. men and women equally share the hoarding pool. I have had clients as hoarders in small SRO's, and have also worked with clients who live in the Muirlands of La Jolla. You can move a hoarder out of his/her home across the city, and in no time, there new place will be just as cluttered.
I like this photo because I had a patient 12 years ago who saved all his empty boxes. When I asked him why would he do such a thing. His response was "You never know when you are going to move". And that seems to be the theme... "You never know when you are going to need that piece of blank paper or whatever again.
Compulsive behavior that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession (thought) or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. The behaviors are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or stituation: hoever, these behaviors are not connected in a realistic way and are clearly excessive... these behaviors cause marked distress, are time consuming (take more than one hour a day), or significantly interfere with the person's normal routine, occupational or academic functioning, or usual social activities or relationships
Compulsive hoarding has a different pattern of genetic heritance: 84% have first degree family member with a hoarding behavior; 37% have family history of OCD or OCDP

Takes alot of energy. This is why a "Team Approach" is more successful. The problem with a team approach is that it is costly, time consuming. Discard through
Many hoarders have never been positively reinforced for their successes, so it may be difficult for them to accept support and positive regard for their efforts.
