This document discusses informed consent and informed choice in maternity care. It introduces the concept of informed consent, which originated from a 1957 medical malpractice case. It discusses how information is presented to patients, including through the language of risk and in a way to ensure compliance. The document also examines the dilemma of patients refusing certain procedures or types of care, and provides some examples. It poses the question of how to better promote informed decision making for women in their maternity care choices.

People should get tested for COVID-19 if they have a history of international travel in the last 14 days, had contact with a confirmed case such as healthcare workers, or live with a confirmed case. The Mastermind Foundation provides free counseling to address the mental health impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on human psychology. To take care of children's mental health during this time, parents should provide reassurance, keep children in contact with friends, manage anxiety through clear information and engaging indoor activities, and create a routine for learning at home. Childline protects minor victims of abuse and intervenes to help victims during lockdowns, such as with cases of sexual abuse or life-saving support for newborns.
During the infant years, there are several important health and safety considerations to address:
1) Gastrointestinal infections like diarrhea spread easily, so proper hand washing and hygiene is needed. A recent outbreak requires vigilance to prevent Xavier from getting sick.
2) Drowning is a risk even in shallow water, so Xavier must be supervised during baths and around any water.
3) Colds are very common in childcare but can be limited by hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, and regularly cleaning toys.
4) Allergies are a lifelong concern so consulting Xavier's doctor is important before introducing potential allergen foods.

The document discusses the importance of breastfeeding and the support needed for women to breastfeed successfully. It outlines the global strategy for infant and young child feeding endorsed by the World Health Assembly, including exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. The science supporting breastfeeding is presented, showing reduced mortality risks, improved long-term health outcomes, and reduced HIV transmission risk. For women to succeed at breastfeeding, they need accurate information, counseling during pregnancy and after birth, and support to address any problems that may arise. Workplace support is also important to allow women to continue breastfeeding.
This PPT is part of the resource material prepared for the One miilion campaign to support women to breastfeed. One may use it to emphasize the importance of supporting the breastfeeding women.
Women need support from family, community, and healthcare providers to successfully breastfeed their infants. This includes accurate information during pregnancy and lactation support, such as help with positioning and ensuring sufficient milk production. Exclusive breastfeeding for six months and continued breastfeeding up to two years or beyond promotes optimal child health and development, lowering risks of neonatal mortality, diseases, and long-term health issues. Global strategies recommend initiating breastfeeding within one hour of birth and introducing complementary foods after six months alongside continued breastfeeding.

A New Model for Informed Consent - Participant Centered Consent - Broad Insti...john wilbanks
1. Large datasets require new collaborative methodologies involving communities, as tacit knowledge used in data analysis is not captured. This is a problem of scientific practice, not technology. Combining new practices with version control and data provenance could help address this issue.
2. A hypothesis is that the general public can be engaged in research, as evidenced by an IRB-approved study allowing 100,000 participants.
3. Informed consent experiences need redesigning as they currently prioritize offloading liability rather than truly engaging participants. Consent documents are often written for legal purposes rather than participant understanding.
Informed consent form presentation uploadSebrina Odaro
This document discusses informed consent, which ensures patients and clinical trial participants are aware of potential risks and costs before treatment or procedures. Informed consent has two parts: an information sheet describing the nature of treatment, alternatives, risks and benefits; and a consent certificate. For consent to be valid, the participant must be competent and consent voluntarily without pressure, and they can withdraw consent if interests change. The consent process allows for free decision making through effective communication between all parties.
This document discusses informed consent forms and processes. It covers key elements that should be included in informed consent forms such as study description, risks, benefits, confidentiality, compensation, voluntary participation, and contact information. It also describes the informed consent process as an ongoing communication between researcher and participant that begins before the study and continues throughout. Documentation of the informed consent process is important. The document also discusses translating informed consent forms into local languages understood by participants and having them back translated to ensure accuracy.

It is a universal truth that children must be given the appropriate vaccine at the appropriate age. Providing various vaccines at a given age saves kids from diseases that are life-threatening. Until and unless the kids are informed about the health hazards, they won’t realize the vaccine awareness they should be having.
Everyone should be knowledgeable about natural pregnancy, labor, and childbirth regardless of gender. Understanding the realities of these processes better prepares people for parenthood and makes them more responsible regarding sexual activity. Pregnancy involves various physical symptoms while labor and childbirth are complex natural processes. Interventions like induction and epidurals can increase risks for both mother and baby, whereas natural birth has benefits like faster healing and pain relief from hormones. Being informed about natural and medicalized options empowers both women and their partners throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
Teens need immunizations beyond childhood to stay protected from diseases. The CDC vaccination schedule continues through the teen years for vaccines like Tdap, meningococcal, HPV, and influenza. However, vaccination rates decline as children age due to factors like fewer doctor visits and the perception that immunizations are not needed. It is important for parents to keep teens on schedule by discussing their vaccination needs at annual checkups.
The document discusses various methods of contraception (birth control). It describes barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms that block sperm, and hormonal methods like pills, patches, implants, and IUDs that prevent ovulation. Choosing a method depends on effectiveness, side effects, health factors, and protection from STDs. Nurses educate women on options and help them choose methods suited to their needs.
This document provides an intergenerational discussion guide about the importance of vaccinations across the lifespan. It includes information on recommended vaccines for infants, children, teenagers, adults and older adults. The guide aims to encourage intergenerational conversations about vaccinations through discussion starters, activities and sharing experiences. Vaccinations are highlighted as an important way to protect community health by preventing the spread of diseases between younger and older groups.
Vaccines are a means of preventing the body from life threatening illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria. Even though the health of overall world has improved by the use of vaccines in the past decades, there are still some myths surrounding the use of vaccines for babies. This article focuses on why vaccination is important and a few myths which question the safety and value of vaccines.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

In the following presentation informed choice and informed consent in Maternity care will be discussed within evidence based and woman centred context.
It will be argued that maternity care providers too often gain informed compliance based on limited, rushed or biased information sharing and assumptions about what informed choice and consent is.
consent is only possible when there is a choice and respect for women’s right to informed refusal.
This presentation will discuss current literature in relation to contemporary information sharing to enable informed choices and consent and also some of the challenges around informed refusal within the context of health care for all
An informed consent can be said to have been given based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and future consequences of an action. In order to give informed consent, the individual concerned must have adequate reasoning faculties and be in possession of all relevant facts at the time consent is given. Impairments to reasoning and judgement which may make it impossible for someone to give informed consent include such factors as severe mental retardation, severe mental illness, intoxication, severe sleep deprivation, Alzheimer's disease, or being in a coma. This term was first used in a 1957 medical malpractice case by Paul G. Gebhard.
Informed consent can be complex to evaluate, because neither expressions of consent, nor expressions of understanding of implications, necessarily mean that full adult consent was in fact given, nor that full comprehension of relevant issues is internally digested. Consent may be implied within the usual subtleties of human communication, rather than explicitly negotiated verbally or in writing. In some cases consent cannot legally be possible, even if the person protests he does indeed understand and wish. There are also structured instruments for evaluating capacity to give informed consent, although no ideal instrument presently exists
For a woman, making informed decisions means learning and thinking about the best information available on maternity care, and then deciding what's right for herself and her baby. Key questions include:
What are the possible choices?
What does the best available research tell us about beneficial and harmful effects of each of these choices?
What are her own needs and preferences and those of her partner (if she has one)?
What choices are available and supported in her care setting and through her caregivers?
If she wants an option that will not or may not be available, would she consider switching to a care setting or caregiver that does offer the preferred care?
In every other area of medicine we are all treated as individuals. You have acid reflux, your neighbour has acid reflux: you are not necessarily prescribed a one size fits all prescription. Some are treated by diet; some by this drug; some by that drug.Why, why, why then in childbirth and pregnancy are women treated as if every single pregnancy is exactly the same. Every single time X complication arises, X procedure will treat it effectively. Why are doctors in maternity care ignoring evidence that disproves much of their routine practices???
Pregnant women comply with, rather than choose, mode of birth
Competing demands and time pressures on health professionals ensure that pregnant women comply with, rather than choose, how they want to give birth. Stapleton and colleagues (p 639) observed 886 antenatal consultations and interviewed 383 pregnant women in Wales and found that health professionals often did not discuss the contents of the widely used leaflet Informed Choice. Women's trust in health professionals meant that they complied with professionally defined choices and rarely asked questions or made alternative requests. Fear of litigation, power hierarchies and technology limited the choices available. A randomised cluster trial by O'Cathain and colleagues (p 643) also found that Informed Choice was not effective in promoting informed choice of women using maternity services. There was no difference in the proportion of women in the intervention and control group who reported they exercised informed choice. However, women in the intervention group were more satisfied with the information they received, even though only three quarters of them reported actually being given a leaflet (the intervention).
The article investigates and evaluates, from a feminist perspective, the issues of informed choice and first obstetric ultrasound examinations, and reveals that it is impossible for an expectant mother to achieve this due to the medical environment and culture of hospitals. The study also indicates that the social pressure of having a scan, and obtaining a photograph as part of the pregnancy package, contributes to the external pressures on women, leading to their adoption of compliant behavior patterns. Vulnerability of First-Time Expectant Mothers During Ultrasound Scans: An Evaluation of the External Pressures That Influence the Process of Informed Choic
"You can always present information so they select the treatment you want them to"—A study of nephrologists revealed that doctors used information to influence patients' treatment choices.18 Presenting "logically equivalent" information in different ways has a substantial effect on treatment preferences.19 w19 For example, relative risk is more persuasive than absolute risk.6 Enabling patients to understand risks is crucial before considering different treatment options. Yet risk is a complex phenomenon that many patients (and doctors) find difficult to understand. Common errors include compression bias (the tendency to overestimate small risks and underestimate large ones), miscalibration bias (overestimation of the level and accuracy of one's knowledge), availability bias (overestimation of notorious risks20), and optimism-pessimism bias (the tendency of patients to believe that they are at less risk of an adverse outcome than people similar to them14).
Patients may understand different methods of presenting risk to varying extents. Numerical information is often poorly understood,6 w20 so doctors may need to determine how to present risk in a way that is helpful for an individual patient, or at least be able to present it in different ways. Differences in education and experience may also affect patients' understanding of risk; methods of increasing comprehension among people with poor literacy and numeracy will be essential.21 Individualised risk information—that is, based on each patient's clinical characteristics—is available for only a few conditions, such as the Framingham equation for stroke or cardiovascular disease.w21 Even this information is probabilistic in nature and requires skilful communication.
Furthermore, there may be ambiguity associated with the language of risk. Doctors and patient may have different perceptions of what is "low risk," "unlikely," or "rare."6 w22 There may also be variation in acceptability of risk, so doctors need to ascertain the degree of risk that a patient is comfortable with to ensure discussion is relevant. In addition, people's conceptions of a condition and its implications may vary.6
Pregnancy and birth have been conceptualized as medically problematic, with all pregnant women considered at risk and in need of medical monitoring. Universal application of risk scoring and surveillance as preemptive strategies in an effort to reduce risk is now standard obstetric practice. Labeling women “high risk” can result in more unnecessary interventions and have negative psychologic sequelae. When perceived pregnancy risk is out of proportion to the real risk, and when risk management procedures are applied to all women with benefit for only a few, the use of technology in caring for pregnant women becomes normalized. A learned reliance on technology can diminish women's own authoritative knowledge of pregnancy and birth. This may also have the unintended consequence of contributing to birth fear, a phenomena becoming more widely recognized. Health care provider-patient communication about pregnancy risk can be presented in a manner that encourages informed compliance rather than informed choice. Evidence-based risk assessment is essential to providing optimal prenatal care. Using tools such as the Paling Palette can help health care providers present balanced and readily understood information about risk.

Informed refusal is a medico-legal concept whereby a person can be said to have given refusal to an intervention based upon an understanding of the facts and of the implications of not following a recommended diagnostic or therapeutic action.[1][2]. Informed refusal is linked to the informed consent process, as a patient has a right to consent, but also may choose to refuse.[3]
There is evidence that women who refuse cesarean sections and have been forced to have one have all successfully sued and that outcomes have not been as dire as predicted. There are many tragic cases we could discuss but for this presentation we wont only to say that in Australia the unborn baby has no legal rights therefore it is not possible to gain consent over the mothers rigths to perform a ceasrean.
