This document discusses alternative systems of health. It defines alternative health as healing approaches that originate from around the world and are not based on conventional western medicine. Some key alternative medical systems discussed include Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, homeopathy and naturopathy. Biologically based treatments include herbal medicines and nutritional therapy. Mind body techniques involve using the mind to influence physical health, such as meditation and hypnotherapy. Manipulative methods comprise yoga and chiropractic. Energy therapies include massage, acupuncture and aromatherapy. The document also mentions other alternative therapies like dance therapy and cupping therapy.
This document discusses social and spiritual healing. For social healing, it describes how it seeks to transcend dysfunctional polarities and views issues as matters of wounding and healing. It also discusses how individual and collective wounds can trigger conflicts between groups. For spiritual healing, it outlines several types including yoga, meditation, and reiki. It describes benefits like relieving pain, using natural therapies, improving focus, and better sleep. The document explores social healing across many disciplines and approaches for reconciliation.
This document discusses the complex ethical, legal and policy issues surrounding substance abuse during pregnancy. It begins by defining key terms like ethics, bioethics and law. It then provides background on the debate around how society should address this issue, noting different state approaches. Potential harms of prenatal substance exposure are described. Five possible policy solutions are outlined. Case studies of three hypothetical pregnant women - Alice, Darlene and Mrs. User - are used to illustrate the ethical and legal considerations for the women and their healthcare providers. Legal parameters restricting intervention are discussed. In summary, lawmakers have limited ability to intervene due to constitutional rights, so healthcare providers are also restricted in their response despite ethical concerns about harm to the unborn.
This document discusses anemia prophylaxis programs. It defines anemia and its classifications according to WHO. Globally, anemia affects 30% of people, and 40-90% in developing countries and India. The main causes of increased anemia incidence are poor iron balance pre-pregnancy, improper iron supplementation during pregnancy, repeated childbirths, low socioeconomic status, and infections. Anemia can lead to complications in pregnancy like preterm labor, and complications during labor like postpartum hemorrhage. National programs provide iron and folic acid supplementation to pregnant and lactating women, and children aged 6-60 months. The guidelines recommend expanding the program to include infants aged 6-12 months, school-aged
Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger to provide contraception and other health services to women. It has grown to become a major provider of reproductive health care, sex education, and information in the United States and internationally. Planned Parenthood operates over 800 health centers nationwide and advocates for policies that enable access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care. While it takes a more liberal stance on issues like abortion rights and contraception, Planned Parenthood describes itself as supporting the original constitutional rights of individuals to make private reproductive choices.
The document discusses exclusive breastfeeding and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. It recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, introducing complementary foods after six months, and continuing breastfeeding for up to two years or longer. The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative has 10 steps to ensure hospitals support breastfeeding, such as helping mothers breastfeed within 30 minutes of birth, rooming-in, and not providing pacifiers or artificial nipples to breastfeeding infants. Adhering to these recommendations and steps can save 1.5 million lives annually and provide health benefits for both babies and mothers.
Improve quality and increase access to family planning and maternal health care services
Educate couples to ensure they have the best chance for a wanted and safe pregnancy
Safe motherhood is one of the important components of Reproductive Health. It means ensuring that all women receive the care they need, to be safe and healthy throughout pregnancy and childbirth. It is the ability of a mother to have safe & healthy pregnancy & child birth.

Playandplaymaterials ....B.Sc. NUrisng III year & GNM Rahul Dhaker
Play is essential for children's development. It promotes physical, intellectual, emotional, and moral growth. Physically, play helps develop motor skills and coordination. Intellectually, it fosters learning of concepts like colors, numbers, and problem-solving. Emotionally, play is an outlet for stress and helps children interact socially. Morally, play involves learning norms of behavior. The type of play varies by age from sensory exploration in infants to pretend play in preschoolers to sports and hobbies in school-aged children. Play materials should be age-appropriate, safe, and encourage learning. Parents should supervise play and teach children proper use of toys.
Cervical dystocia occurs when the cervix fails to dilate during labor despite contractions. There are two types: primary occurs in first births and is caused by excessive fibrous tissue or spasmic muscles; secondary results from scarring or rigidity from previous operations or diseases. Results include the cervix becoming thinned but applied to the head, contractions become ineffective, and the anterior lip may edematize. Management depends on safety of vaginal delivery and how low the head is - it may include manually pushing the head up during contractions, traction, or Duhrssen's incisions followed by ventouse or forceps.
Water birth involves giving birth immersed in warm water, such as in a tub or pool. It is believed to be gentler for both mother and baby by replicating the amniotic environment. Historically, women have given birth in water for millennia, though it became popularized in Western cultures in the late 20th century. Benefits include pain relief, stress reduction, and less need for medical intervention during birth. Risks are theoretical and minor, such as infection if the water is not clean. Water birth may not be advised for certain high-risk pregnancies.
This document discusses postpartum depression, including its symptoms, causes, risks, and treatment options. Postpartum depression causes new mothers to feel restless, anxious, fatigued and worthless. It can be treated through talk therapy and antidepressant medication. Risk factors include a personal or family history of depression or mental illness, lack of social support, stress, substance abuse, and depression during pregnancy. Untreated postpartum depression can negatively impact both mother and baby's health, development and bonding.

What a Midwifery Model of Care could look like ... a Strengthened PartnershipCommon Knowledge Trust
New Zealand put in place a Midwifery Model of Care in 1990. Everything birth and midwifery advocates wanted has been the maternity system in New Zealand. What was hoped for: more natural births (or physiological births), more choice, informed consent, respect for pregnant women, continuity of care, a partnership model with primary care midwives, primary care midwives who continue care when secondary care is necessary ... great system. What could possible not work out? Simple ... the partnership model is weak and ineffective. The result ... a rise from 12.9% to 30% of caesareans since, more complaints against midwives and the unexpected ... women 'choosing' elective cesarean births and epidurals for pain relief.
We can have a strong partnership in maternity care only if we grow a skilled birthing population. It's a wonderful idea to believe a woman should choose what she wants at her birth. It's a great idea to know what a woman wants from her birth provider. However, there is absolutely NO societal expectation that families bring a good set of skills to their birth. Why is this important?
Birth choices are not always available. Choices often change. Choices have to be for 'saying no' to medical care and 'saying yes' to more medical care than necessary. Choices are varied and many so which ones are really important to a woman?
It's great if women are informed and respected. Sometimes a woman is being respected but doesn't appreciate it. Some women are informed, make decisions that they regret months later. Very, very few women have the birth they 'want' or 'plan' but instead have the birth they have.
We use terms like 'having a baby' or 'giving birth'. Instead we need to say 'you are going to 'do' your birth'. Doing your birth occurs over time. Skills are what you use to fill your time of doing your birth. Skills are what you do to cope with both the internal and external sensations or situation.
Andrea talks about how she strengthened her partnership with her general population clients. Clients know they will create a Birth Plan about what they 'want' and what they 'expect' of her as a birth provider. Clients are expected to learn birth and coaching skills and use them.
This document discusses challenges facing the prevention of abuse against women and children in the context of changing gender roles and culture. It presents the premise that violence against women and children should be the central focus of the criminal justice system. The author views child abuse and woman battering as originating from conflicts over gender identity and male authority. Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of women and children is discussed as a serious social problem with cross-generational effects. Empowerment of women through education and self-defense is presented as the best way to prevent such abuse. The document also references the passing of the Criminal Law Amendment Bill in 2013 to address these issues.
Adolescent pregnancy continues to be an important social issue. It is defined as a girl between 13-19 years old becoming pregnant. Teen pregnancy can have negative social and financial consequences as teen mothers often lack education, job skills, and support systems. It can also endanger the health of both mother and child due to increased medical risks of early pregnancy. While the ultimate cause is unprotected sex, risk factors for teen pregnancy include poverty, family structure, low school performance, substance abuse, and lack of sexual education and access to contraception. Preventing teen pregnancy requires efforts from parents, schools, healthcare providers, and government to educate youth and increase support for young mothers.
Alternative health care system and referral system, community health nursingNehaNupur8
Alternative systems of health include various healing approaches that originate from around the world and that are not based on conventional western medicine. There therapies are called alternative system of health as they are used alone as complementary medicine or these can be used with conventional medicine.
Pain relief in labor is complex and often challenging.
Effective management of labor pain plays a relatively major role in a woman's satisfaction with childbirth.
Labor contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in the back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis.
Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom.
Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps.
support measure during childbirth
Reduction of fear and anxiety by providing information and support.
Facilitation of appropriate rest, sleep and for ambulation.
Provision of a labor companion.
If you are an expectant mother,
you should talk with your obstetrician and your anesthesiologist to develop a plan on
Pain management during labor and delivery
that ensures the safest possible pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery.
This document discusses the process of labor and delivery. It begins by defining labor as the series of contractions that expel the fetus, placenta, and membranes from the uterus through the vagina. It then discusses the three powers involved in delivery - the uterus, pelvic passages, and fetus. The document goes on to describe pelvic anatomy including types of pelvises and measurements. It concludes by outlining the normal mechanism of delivery, including engagement, descent, flexion, internal rotation, extension, restitution, external rotation, and shoulder and body delivery.
The document discusses the female pelvis and contracted pelvis. It defines an anatomically contracted pelvis and discusses factors that can influence pelvis size and shape such as development, nutrition, trauma, and diseases. Common causes of contracted pelvis include nutritional deficiencies, diseases or injuries of pelvic bones, and certain developmental defects. A contracted pelvis can affect pregnancy and labor by increasing risks of malpresentations, prolonged labor, obstructed labor, and maternal and fetal complications. Management depends on the degree of disproportion and may include a trial of vaginal delivery or cesarean section.
it explains about child guidence clinics and the services done in there in brief. it also explains the role of a social worker in a child guidence clinic
The document discusses Kayla Ford's interest in perinatal care and developmental psychology from conception through infancy. It describes her experiences helping family members through pregnancies and her goal of becoming a perinatal nurse after completing her Bachelor of Nursing degree in order to support women and families during pregnancy and childbirth. Key topics covered include prenatal development milestones, complications during pregnancy, and the roles and responsibilities of perinatal nurses.
This document discusses violence against women in India. It defines violence against women according to the UN and other sources, and describes various types of violence including physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and others. Preventive measures are outlined such as enforcing laws, education programs, and support services. Several government programs aimed at empowering women and preventing violence are also summarized.
Preconception care aims to improve maternal and child health by identifying medical and social risks before pregnancy occurs. It involves risk assessment, health promotion, counseling, and addressing various health conditions. The components of preconception care include screening for nutritional deficiencies, infectious diseases, genetic risks, environmental hazards, and behavioral health issues. The goals are to help both prospective parents attain optimal health before conception and to prevent or control diseases that may impact a pregnancy.
Labour is initiated by various biochemical and physiological changes that occur in late pregnancy. These include increased production of uterotonins like oxytocin, prostaglandins, and CRH by the fetus and placenta. There is also a withdrawal of progesterone's inhibitory effects and an increase in oxytocin receptors in the uterus. Together, these changes make the uterus more sensitive and responsive to contractions. The cervix simultaneously undergoes ripening, becoming softer, shorter, and more dilated in preparation for labour and delivery.
The third stage of labor involves the separation and expulsion of the placenta after childbirth. The placenta separates from the uterine wall due to uterine contraction. The uterus then contracts further to aid the descent and expulsion of the placenta through the birth canal. Midwives monitor for signs of separation and use techniques like controlled cord traction or fundal pressure to deliver the placenta if needed. Oxytocic drugs may also be used to aid delivery or prevent hemorrhage. Care of both mother and newborn continues for at least an hour after completion of the third stage to ensure uterine contraction and monitor for complications.
Female feticide is the practice of aborting a fetus if prenatal sex determination tests reveal it is female. In India, the 2011 census found an overall sex ratio of only 914 females per 1000 males, and the ratio of female feticide is significantly higher in some states like Punjab and Haryana. Parents engage in female feticide due to considering girls a financial burden, fear of dowry, the availability of technology to determine sex, and an obsession with having sons. This leads to adverse effects like declining female populations, women trafficking, and impacts on women's health. Laws have been implemented to prohibit determining or selecting sex before or after conception.
Evidence Base Practice (EBP)-Define, Benefits,Resource, steps PPTsonal patel
Evidence based practice (EBP) involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values to provide optimal care. EBP aims to move away from relying on "tried and true" practices and instead make decisions based on high-quality clinical research. The key steps of EBP include asking answerable clinical questions, searching for relevant evidence, appraising the evidence quality and applicability, integrating the evidence with expertise and context, and evaluating outcomes. EBP has benefits like improved patient outcomes, more efficient care, and keeping nursing practice current with the latest research findings.
The document discusses how hypnosis can help reduce postnatal depression and promote mental wellbeing during and after childbirth. It explains that hypnosis helps alleviate fear, tension, and pain during birth by promoting relaxation. Clinical evidence shows that hypnosis can significantly reduce the length of labor stages and decrease the need for pain medication. The document also outlines techniques taught in birth preparation classes like breathing, visualization, massage, and understanding the body's natural birthing process.
Suzi Hume, Andrea Vincent & Aunouska Myers, 2011 Home Birth Conference Active Birth Taranaki
The document discusses skills that women can use to reduce interventions during birth such as directed breathing, finding effective positions, and internal work like massaging. It suggests that using these skills can help women have more positive birth experiences with fewer interventions and complications. Statistics from 2000-2002 also show decreasing rates of epidurals and other pain medications as more women learn and apply these natural skills during labor and delivery.

For her first birth, she used hypnosis and was able to give birth naturally with only gas and air in 12 hours despite having a slipped disc. For her second birth, she had further refined her techniques into the Blissful Birth program and was able to give birth naturally in just 4 hours with no pain relief at all. The document encourages readers to learn more about and try the Blissful Birth program.
GIVING BIRTH WITH NO PAIN - An article published in the Bangalore Mirror abou...Shreya777
HypnoBirthing is a technique practiced by expectant mothers to have a pain-free childbirth through relaxation and visualization techniques. It was founded by Marie Mongan and involves classes where mothers learn breathing, relaxation, visualization, and affirmation methods. Practitioners believe this reduces fear, tension, and pain during labor by helping the body and baby work naturally. The process also aims to create a calm birthing environment and bonding between mother, baby, and partner.

This document discusses home birth and its advantages over hospital birth. It describes the process of an unassisted home birth where no medical personnel are present. It outlines the prenatal care and monitoring some women do on their own at home. Risks of home birth like lack of access to medical expertise or equipment if needed are addressed. Pain relief options, preparing for labor, obtaining supplies, who can be present, and what happens after birth are also covered. Some studies found better outcomes for mother and baby with home versus hospital births.
Physiologic birth is powered by the innate human capacity of the woman and fetus and is more likely to be safe and healthy with little medical intervention. Key hormones like oxytocin, endorphins, and catecholamines drive the physiologic process of birth through activity in the limbic brain and optimal neuroendocrine function.
