Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore Greek Cypriot women’s perceptions of their right to choose the place of childbirth.DESIGN: This study is qualitative and is based on Husserl’s phenomenological approach. The field work extended over a 6-month period in 2010–2011.SETTING: In all cities of the Republic of Cyprus.PARTICIPANTS: Purposive sample of 55 women within 1 year after birth. Forty-eight women were recruited for semistructured interviews and six of them took place in first focus group. The second group consisted of seven women that did not participate in interviews.RESULTS: Women’s perceptions were categorized into four themes: (a) informed choice for birth place, (b) trusting relationship with health professionals, (c) medicalization of childbirth, and (d) safety of the mother and baby.CONCLUSIONS: There is no equity and accessibility in Cyprus maternity care system because it does not provide correct information and accessibility to all birthplace choices. This study demonstrated the need to explore women’s views before formulating policy for maternity care. These views will be helpful for the creation of an innovative evidence-based maternity care policy, taking into account women’s needs, and will be helpful to raise awareness among health professionals for maternity care improvement.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Ensuring the right for birthplace choices is a social and political necessity that enhances the existing health care systems and health professionals to provide quality and holistic maternity care. Conducting more studies on maternity care in Cyprus will reinforce the aim for improving the health of the women, neonates, and society.

Abstract:
Background Midwifery standards promote autonomous decision-making and informed choice, resulting in maternal home birth choices which may contravene guidelines. There is a paucity of evidence exploring midwives' experiences of managing these choices. Aims To explore the lived experiences of midwives facilitating home birth outside of guidelines. Methods A qualitative design using an interpretive hermeneutic cycle to analyse semi-structured interviews. Findings Participants reported confidence in supporting maternal choices, identifying barriers including other birth supporters. Perceived levels of risk, previous experience and safety concerns impacted on confidence. Peer, unit and professional midwifery advocate (PMA) support were identified as being beneficial to midwives. Recommendations Expansion of birth choices clinics; implementation of dedicated home birth teams; guideline review for midwife led birthing units; expansion of the PMA role; implementation of a structured debriefing service and further research looking at women's choices, and the impact of the loss of midwifery supervision.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential for segmentation in hospital markets, using the French case where private for-profit providers play an important role having nearly 25% of market shares, and where prices are regulated, leading to quality competition. Using a stylized economic model of hospital competition, we investigate the potential for displacement between vertically differentiated public and private providers, focusing on maternity units where user choice is central. Building over the model, we test the following three hypotheses. First, the number of public maternity units is likely to be much larger in less populated departments than in more populated ones. Second, as the number of public maternity units decreases, the profitability constraint should allow more private players into the market. Third, private units are closer substitutes to other private units than to public units. Building an exhaustive and nationwide data set on the activity of maternity services linked to detailed data at a hospital level, we use an event study framework, which exploits two sources of variation: (1) The variation over time in the number of maternity units and (2) the variation in users’ choices. We find support for our hypotheses, indicating that segmentation is at work in these markets with asymmetrical effects between public and private sectors that need to be accounted for when deciding on public market entry or exit.

Abstract:
Nous avons réalisé un état des lieux de la prise en charge des femmes au moment d’un accouchement en France, dans un contexte où la médecine fondée sur les preuves occupe une place de plus en plus importante dans la pratique des professionnels, où la fermeture de nombreuses maternités entraîne une concentration des naissances dans des établissements publics et spécialisés de plus en plus grands, et où l’on souhaite répondre aux besoins des femmes et à certaines de leurs demandes.Dans une première partie nous avons décrit comment les caractéristiques des maternités contribuent à expliquer les variations dans la prise en charge des femmes. Nous avons abordé la question pour la durée du séjour en post-partum et l’organisation de la prise en charge médicale à la sortie de la maternité, et pour les actes réalisés pendant l’accouchement chez des femmes à bas risque (déclenchement, césarienne, extraction instrumentale et épisiotomie). Dans une deuxième partie nous avons cherché à estimer la part des césariennes avant travail potentiellement évitables et la part des déclenchements sans motif médical et nous avons recherché quels facteurs étaient associés à ces actes.Le contenu des soins différait peu selon la taille ou le niveau de spécialisation de la maternité, sauf pour les interventions potentiellement évitables ou sans motif médical, plus fréquentes dans les petites maternités moins spécialisées, et les durées de séjour en maternité, beaucoup plus courtes dans les grandes maternités et celles de type 3. A l’inverse, le statut privé de la maternité influençait de manière forte la prise en charge des femmes : les interventions y étaient plus fréquentes, parfois en réponse à des demandes des femmes (déclenchements sans motif médical). Les caractéristiques médicales des femmes avaient un impact sur la réalisation des interventions obstétricales, avec des associations similaires à celles déjà publiées, mais les caractéristiques sociales des femmes influaient peu sur le contenu des soins.Les résultats fournissent un bilan général, utile pour évaluer les politiques de santé publique. Ils soulèvent des questions sur l’organisation des services et les processus qui conduisent aux décisions de réaliser certaines interventions obstétricales
We assessed practices during delivery and the postpartum period in France, in a context where evidence based medicine plays a more and more important role in professional practice, where the closure of maternity units leads to a concentration of births in large public and specialized units, and where professionals want to meet the needs of women and some of their requests.We first described how maternity units’ characteristics contribute to explain variations in obstetrical intervention’s rates. We studied postpartum length-of-stay and support for women after discharge from maternity unit, and interventions performed during labor among low-risk women (inductions, cesareans, instrumental deliveries and episiotomy).In a second part we estimated the proportions of potentially avoidable cesarean deliveries and inductions without medical indications; we also investigated which factors were associated with these interventions.Obstetrical practices differed slightly depending on the size or the level of care of maternity units, except potentially avoidable cesareans, which were more frequent in small and low-specialized units, and postpartum length-of-stay, which were shorter in large and type 3 units. On the contrary, the private status of the unit strongly influenced the management of delivery: all studied interventions were more frequent in private units, sometimes in response to maternal requests (inductions without medical indications for example). Women’s medical characteristics had an impact on obstetric intervention rates; the associations were similar to those previously reported in other publications. However social characteristics had little influence on the content of care.The results provide an overall evaluation, useful for assessing perinatal public health policies. They raise questions about maternity unit organization and processes that lead to decisions to perform obstetrical interventions

Abstract:
A study of women's views of maternity services in the Northern Sydney Area Health Service was conducted as a result of the changing patterns of use of the Area's 7 obstetric hospitals. 340 primiparous women living in the Northern Sydney Area who had given birth in the previous six months were approached in Early Childhood Health Centres and asked to complete a survey exploring the factors influencing their choice of obstetric hospital, postnatal length of stay in hospital, and overall satisfaction with their choice of hospital. Of the 315 eligible women, 312 (99%) consented to participate and 297 (94%) completed the survey. Overall, reputation of the hospital and quality of nursing care were the most frequent reasons given for choice of hospital and there was some evidence that women selected different hospitals for distinct reasons. Women's postnatal length of stay ranged from less than 1 day to 11 days with an average of 5.3 days. Private patients stayed an average of 1 day longer than public patients, after adjusting for delivery type and pregnancy induced hypertension. There was little evidence that women in the Northern Sydney Area Health Service desire a shorter postnatal stay with the majority of women reporting they were satisfied with their length of stay. Overall, women displayed high levels of satisfaction with their choice of hospital; at least 90% of women attending all hospitals except one reported that they would choose the same hospital for the birth of another baby. This study provides valuable information, based on the experiences of the service users, to help guide the Northern Sydney Area Health Service in the provision of its maternity services to ensure they meet the changing needs of women and their families.

Abstract:

The following paper looks into Maternity\Paternity leave and how the parents make use of it. The underlying reasons for the paper, is a pattern of unequal division of leave between the mother and father.

By using a qualitative in depth interview technique with couples that have children between 2 and 3 years old we have looked for reasons why the decisions, around the division of leave, have been taken, and what factors influence the outcome.

We have found that great importance is attached to, how, the negotiations are carried out between the parents, although these negotiations are influenced by a series of circumstances where the families economic situation influenced by the employment market are important factors.

The results from the empiric part of the study showed a link between the childs age and which parent stayed home.

Furthermore, the results show the families place in relationship to the structure of society also plays an important part in the concluding division of leave.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis studied genetic counselling for haemoglobinopathies within maternity settings that catered for a relatively large at-risk population. In total four separate studies were conducted, two were undertaken to assess the feasibility of counselling parents of neonatal traits and current practices of other haemoglobinopathy centres in this area.  The counselling and screening facilities available to pregnant women and their partners were also explored in a third survey and a final study looked at the knowledge/skill base of midwives at the forefront of maternity services. These studies collectively provided a unique insight into genetic counselling for carrier individuals within maternity settings in Birmingham. In the first study (Centre Survey - CS) the key findings highlighted that not all centres routinely followed up neonatal traits in the same way as those diagnosed with a major haemoglobinopathy. Likewise disparities existed in the way appointments were made and the venues used for counselling appointments. In the Neonatal Trait Survey (NTS) a knowledge, attitude scale and emotional reaction of parents were used as outcome measures to assess the effect of counselling parents of neonatal traits.  The findings highlighted a significant improvement in respondents’ knowledge of sickle cell trait (SCT) and the disorder (SCD) after counselling. Attitude responses also demonstrated significant improvement post counselling. The Antenatal Survey (ANS) provided a ‘snapshot’ of counselling experiences of at-risk women and their partners at their antenatal clinic appointments (in particular during booking clinics). The findings showed deficits in counselling of genetic risk and reproductive options (including the availability of prenatal diagnosis [PNS]). The final study, the Midwives Survey (MWS) examines the knowledge/skill base of midwives in providing counselling for at-risk couples. The findings of this survey showed that midwives did not have the necessary knowledge and counselling skills to meet the needs of this client group.

Abstract:
Sexualité et maternité occupent un espace prépondérant dans l’oeuvre de Zola. Cet écrivain honni ou adulé du 19ème siècle semble avoir été très influencé par son entourage et son époque. Il était entouré de trois femmes qui l’ont beaucoup influencé à différentes étapes de sa vie : sa mère, sa femme et sa maîtresse. Mais on ne peut réduire cette influence à son milieu familial ! En effet, plusieurs littéraires ont forgé ses idées sur la maternité et la sexualité : Balzac, Michelet, Stendhal… A la lecture de ses écrits, nous constatons qu’il voit en la maternité un acte sacré. En revanche, l’avis de l’auteur naturaliste sur la sexualité est plus ambigu. En effet, il donne l’air de la dédaigner, d’avoir en horreur ceux qui ne jurent que par le vice. Mais paradoxalement, Zola fait de la sexualité un de ses thèmes de prédilection. Si bien qu’il se verra affublé de l’étiquette de pornographe. Zola a-t-il finalement horreur de la sexualité, comme il le prétend ? Ou est-il au contraire un obsédé sexuel ?
Maternity and sexuality are among the main themes of the work of Emile Zola. Despised as well as admired, this author of the nineteenth century seems to have been much influenced by his life experiences and his epoch. It seems that the fact that he has been living mainly among women Ŕ his mother, maternal grand-mother, wife and mistress Ŕ has greatly influenced his perceptions about maternity and sexuality. However, we should not obliterate that the fact that his readings of some authors have also contributed to his ideas about these two themes, mainly Balzac, Michelet and Stendhal. Zola has got a fixed idea about maternity : it’s a sacred act whose purity should be preserved. He firmly believes that a mother should make all sorts of sacrifices for her child, including her sexual life. It becomes however more difficult for us to determine how Zola perceives sexuality. He surely pretends to dislike any sexual activity but on the other hand, he writes profusely about sexuality in his work. Quite ambiguous…

Abstract:
The master thesis called "Harmonization of maternity and professional life of high- income women in Prague" is focused on usage and evaluation of maternity leave promotion. The main research hypothesis is that women are more interested in promotion from the employee side (in flexible forms of work) than from the state side (finance). The author mainly considers theory of rational choice due to the author Gary S. Becker who explains changes in reproduction through this theory. As another theoretical perspectives are used relevant researches and Czech and foreign literature review. In order to fulfill the aim of the master thesis were analyzed qualitative half- structured interviews between women from a base population. The conclusion, based on this research is that women from the base population are more interested in promotion from the employee side (in flexible forms of work) than on the promotion from the state side (finance).

Aims and objectives.  This study was designed to complement local audit data by examining the lived experience of women who elected to attempt a vaginal birth following a previous caesarean delivery. The study sought to determine whether or not women were able to exercise informed choice and to explore how they made decisions about the method of delivery and how they interpreted their experiences following the birth. Background.  The rising operative birth rate in the UK concerns both obstetricians and midwives. Although the popular press has characterized birth by caesarean section as the socialites’ choice, in reality, maternal choice is only one factor in determining the method of birth. However, in considering the next delivery following a caesarean section, maternal choice may be a significant indicator. While accepted current UK practice favours vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) in line with the research evidence indicating reduced maternal morbidity, lower costs and satisfactory neonatal outcomes, Lavender et al. point out that partnership in choice has emerged as a key factor in the decision-making process over the past few decades. Chaung and Jenders explored the issue of choice in an earlier study and concluded that the best method of subsequent delivery, following a caesarean birth, is dependent on a woman's preference. Design and methodology.  Using a phenomenological approach enabled a holistic exploration of women's lived experiences of vaginal birth after the caesarean section. Results.  This was a qualitative study and, as such, the findings are not transferable to women in general. However, the results confirmed the importance of informed choice and raised some interesting issues meriting the further exploration. Conclusions.  Informed choice is the key to effective women-centred care. Women must have access to non-biased evidence-based information in order to engage in a collaborative partnership of equals with midwives and obstetricians. Relevance to clinical practice.  This study is relevant to clinical practice as it highlights the importance of informed choice and reminds practitioners that, for women, psycho-social implications may supersede their physical concerns about birth.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos sobre as Mulheres apresentada à Universidade Aberta
A não-maternidade voluntária é um fenómeno recente das sociedades contemporâneas, que influencia directamente a organização do projecto de vida individual e incentiva a uma procura de novos caminhos para a representação social da mulher. Como se constrói um projecto de não-maternidade? Para responder a esta questão organizámos o enquadramento teórico em quatro áreas temáticas: os princípios teóricos da pós-modernidade que organizam os valores e os comportamentos dos indivíduos; as transformações funcionais na família e o seu impacto na organização das relações de género; a maternidade como factor regulador da ordem social; a caracterização e relações do fenómeno da não-maternidade. Desenvolvemos um estudo exploratório e descritivo baseado nas metodologias compreensivas, tendo por base as narrativas de mulheres que construíram um projecto de vida independente da maternidade. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, feitas a 7 mulheres, com mais de 40 anos, casadas, trabalhadoras activas, que optaram por não ter filhos. Para proceder à análise dos discursos utilizámos a técnica de análise de conteúdo, que permitiu identificar e isolar seis temas: processo individual de tomada de decisão; pressão para a maternidade; percepções da parentalidade/maternidade; valorização do Eu; pressão para a não-maternidade; projecto conjugal. O carácter qualitativo do estudo não permite a extrapolação dos resultados, pelo que as conclusões só podem ser válidas para a amostra em estudo. Concluímos que independentemente da singularidade de cada projecto de vida, a escolha pela não-maternidade foi decisiva na estruturação das prioridades e investimentos pessoais ao longo dos anos. As pressões sociais e familiares a que estiveram sujeitas e as estratégias que encontraram para lidar com elas foram muito coincidentes. Também salientamos a energia com que protagonizaram a sua opção conjugal e o reconhecimento que acompanha o seu desempenho profissional, como características marcantes deste projecto de vida que, distante da maternidade, exige novas expectativas e definições para a sua própria identidade feminina.
The non-voluntary motherhood is a recent phenomenon of contemporary societies which directly influences the organization of the draft life and encourages a search for new routes to social representation of women. How to build a project of non-motherhood? To answer this question the theoretical framework was organized into four thematic areas: the principles of post-modernity that organizes the values and behaviors of individuals; the changes in the family and its impact on the organization of gender relations; motherhood as a regulator of the order social; the characterization of the phenomenon of non-maternity. We developed an exploratory and descriptive study, based on comprehensive methodologies, focused on the narratives of women who built a project of life parallel to motherhood. Data were collected through semi-structured, made a 7 women, with more than 40 years old, married, active workers, who had chosen not to have children. We analysed the contents of the participants accounts identifying and used the technique of content analysis, to identify and isolate six themes: individual process of decision-making; pressure to motherhood; perceptions of parenting and motherhood; empowerment of the self; pressure to the non-maternity, marital project. The qualitative nature of the study does not allow the extrapolation of results, so the findings can only be valid for the sample under study. We conclude that regardless of the uniqueness of each project of life, the choice for non-maternity was decisive in the structuring of priorities and personal investments over the years The social pressures and family who were the subject and found that the strategies for dealing with them was very coincidental. We also emphasize the courage with which its option protagonizaram marital and recognition that came with your work performance and characteristics of this project of life that, away from motherhood requires new expectations for the female identity.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that defensive medicine is not a significant problem in American obstetrics, despite strong myths about it. Maternity care providers intervene into labor and birth more than is optimal for maternal and infant health, but they do not do so primarily for legal reasons. An analysis of weekend births reveals that births are less likely to occur on the weekend in tort reform states. This suggests the opposite of defensive medicine: providers intervene more in the timing of births when they face less liability risk. Weekend births are also less likely in states with fetus-centered laws, so providers intervene more when women have fewer choices during pregnancy. This chapter then explores two cases as examples of a woman-centered and a fetus-centered regime: Oregon and Mississippi. From a policy perspective, laws that support women’s ability to make decisions for themselves and their fetuses encourage more evidence-based maternity care practices. Reproductive justice would also benefit from universal healthcare that covers all aspects of reproductive health.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the development of the infant in the ninth month of life. As the fall approaches and the author has to return to work, she has to make different choices about childcare. Because in the United States employers are only required to provide 12 weeks of maternity leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and very often that leave is unpaid, most new mothers must return to work while their children are still infants. The chapter focuses on describing different childcare options—specifically daycare versus nannies—and the pros and cons of each based on research.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the Save the Babies campaign, a pronatal campaign spearheaded by the Office of Indian Affairs during the Progressive Era to combat Indian infant mortality. The chapter addresses each of the campaign’s three basic components—home visits conducted by field matrons; annual baby shows, where medical staff evaluated infants; and the promotion of hospital childbirth—while dedicating particular attention to the latter. The chapter further considers the choices Native women made regarding where and with whom they delivered and finds that a minority of women accepted hospital childbirth almost immediately. As maternity patients, Native women disrupted the OIA’s vision of how a hospital should look, sound, and function.

Abstract:
The concluding chapter considers what insights Mexico’s reproductive history may have for a current readership. It argues that this history demonstrates that the relative autonomy with which Mexican women pursued reproductive choices in the colonial era serves as a check to the assumption that women in our contemporary period experience greater self-determination than they have ever done in the past. This history also reveals that colonial populations held different perceptions of both biological maters, like conception and amenorrhea, and idealizations of maternity from those we currently hold. These episodes which show dramatic change across time illustrate how changing national circumstances contribute to the construction of both medical knowledge and emotional ideals often considered natural and unchanging.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the role of families and life course in determining the unlikely gender outcomes found in large law firms. The advantage of the legal profession is that the career trajectory allows for a more progressive work–family balance. In particular, women in elite law firms typically start their careers in their early twenties and are in a position to become partner in their early thirties — this timeline for promotion allows women to be in positions of power while they negotiate childcare and maternity leave, whereas women in other elite professions tend to be junior colleagues when they make agentic life-course choices and are penalized accordingly. Yet, the fact remains that the structural career trajectory in these law firms was not introduced to make women more competitive candidates for partnership, but instead, emerged as a response to a concentrated, high-growth legal services market. The chapter then highlights the ways in which this unprecedented success for Indian middle-class women in the workforce depends on two existing inequalities in the grander Indian system: a ready, caste-dependent labor force that supplies affordable housework support and childcare; and a penultimate generation of close female family members who are not in the workforce and are available to provide free and ready household support systems.

Abstract:
Purpose: for implementation of comprehensive assistance to pregnant women diagnosed with systolic pressure gradient, the study of a type of the psychological component of the gestational dominance was conducted in Maternity Hospital, City Clinical Hospital Nº 29 in Moscow (hereinafter referred to as PCGD). Materials and methods: The study compared PCGD of women with systolic pressure gradient and PCGD of women with other diagnoses, who received inpatient care in the pregnancy pathology department in Maternity Hospital, City Clinical Hospital Nº 29 in 2022. 680 pregnant women with a pregnancy term from 25 till 41 weeks participated in the study. There were 161 women diagnosed with systolic pressure gradient, 101 having diet therapy, and 60 having insulin therapy. The study was carried out with the help of a questionnaire by Dobryakov I.V. «Clinical and psychological definition of a type of the psychological component of the gestational dominance». 161 The analysis revealed that social factors and diagnose do not influence a type of PCGD. About 23% of women with different dianoses have the optimal type of PCGD. Twenty-two percent of women diagnosed with systolic pressure gradient having diet therapy and twenty-four percent of women diagnosed with systolic pressure gradient having insulin therapy have the optimal type of PCGD. The results of the study revealed that PCGD depends on a woman’s weight. The women having a normal body mass index choose the statements of the optimal type of PCGD more often (28,9%), it is more than the average sample. As weight increases, the number of optimal choices decreases. In the case of obesity of the 2nd degree, the optimal type of PCGD is found in 16.7% of the surveyed pregnant women, in the case of obesity of the 3rd degree in 8.7%. The number of euphoric choices increases with the decline of optimal choices: from 24% at normal weight to 29% at obesity of the 2 and 3 degrees. The level of significance of this result is more than 95%. Conclusions: The study's finding is that the type of PCGD does not depend on social factors, and diagnosis of systolic pressure gradient of the women having diet therapy or insulin therapy. PCGD is dependent on the weight of a woman. Women with normal weight have the optimal type of PCGD more than twice as often. Obese women more often choose statements of euphoric PCGD. Цель: для реализации комплексной помощи беременным женщинам с диагнозом ГСД, в роддоме ГКБ№ 29 г. Москвы было проведено исследование типа психологического компонента гестационной доминанты (далее ПКГД). Материалы и методы: Проведено сравнение ПКГД женщин с ГСД и ПКГД женщин с другими диагнозами, которые находились на стационарном лечении в отделении патологии беременных роддома ГКБ№29 в 2022 году. В исследовании приняло участие 680 беременных женщин со сроками беременности от 25 до 41 недели. Из них н 161 женщина с диагнозом ГСД: 101 на диетотерапии и 60 на инсулинотерапии. Исследование проводилось при помощи опросника И.В.Добрякова «Клинико-психологическое определение типа психологического компонента гестационной доминанты». Анализ показал, что на тип ПКГД не влияют социальные факторы, диагноз, с которым женщина находится в стационаре. Примерно 23% женщин с разными диагнозами имеют оптимальный тип ПКГД. У женщин с диагнозом ГСД на диетотерапии 22,5% и ГСД на инсулинотерапии 24% ПКГД оптимального типа Результаты исследования показали, что ПКГД зависит от веса женщины. Женщины, имеющие нормальный индекс массы тела, чаще выбирают утверждения оптимального стиля ПКГД (28,9%), что больше чем в средней выборке. По мере увеличения веса тела, количество оптимальных выборов уменьшается. Так, при ожирении 2 степени оптимальный тип ПКГД встречается у 16,7% опрошенных беременных женщин, при ожирении 3 степени – у 8.7% . На фоне снижения оптимальных выборов растет количество эйфорических выборов: с 24% при нормальном весе до 29 процентов при ожирении 2, 3 степени. Уровень значимости данного результата более 95% Выводы: Из этого исследования можно сделать вывод, что тип ПКГД не зависит от социальных факторов, наличия у женщины диагноза ГСД на диетотерапии или инсулине. ПКГД имеет зависимость от веса женщины. Женщины с нормальным весом более чем в 2 раза чаще имеют оптимальный тип ПКГД. Женщины, страдающие ожирением, чаще выбирают утверждения эйфорического ПКГД.
