Abstract:
Objectives In the present study, we aimed to analyze the status of natural childbirth and factors influencing delivery behaviors among pregnant women in urban areas based on the theory of reasoned action, to provide a basis for health education on natural childbirth. Methods We recruited 658 pregnant women at West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University. Using a literature review, expert consultation, and self-report questionnaires based on the theory of reasoned action, we investigated delivery behaviors and influencing factors among the included pregnant women. The questionnaires primarily comprised general situations and behavioral intentions regarding natural childbirth among pregnant women. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 21.0 software. Results According to structural equation modeling, participants’ behavioral intentions regarding natural childbirth were influenced by normative beliefs (standardized regression coefficient 0.402), outcome evaluation (standardized regression coefficient 0.123), and behavioral beliefs (standardized regression coefficient 0.316). Conformity motivation and knowledge about childbirth affected the choice of natural childbirth via normative beliefs (standardized regression coefficients 0.431 and 0.338, respectively). Conclusions We found that the behavioral intentions of urban pregnant women with respect to natural childbirth were affected by normative beliefs, outcome evaluations, behavioral beliefs, conformity motivation, and knowledge about childbirth.

Abstract:
Introduction: Childbirth is the most challenging physiological and psychological event in a woman’s life. Despite the recommendations of the Iranian Ministry of Health on having natural childbirth, no favorable statistics have been reported yet. Objective: This study aims to determine the predictors of natural childbirth intention based on the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social support in pregnant women referred to selected hospitals in Rasht, northern Iran. Materials and Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 353 pregnant women aged 15-45 years referred to four hospitals in Rasht city in 2020 who were selected by systematic random sampling method proportional to the size of the study population. A researcher-made self-report questionnaire measuring the demographic information, the TPB constructs, social support, and natural childbirth intention was used. Data was analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation test, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Most of the pregnant women had a high school diploma (43.6%) and were housekeepers (83.3%), living in the city (80.5%). Most of them were in the third trimester of pregnancy (37.7%) and had pregnancy for the first time (44.8%). Their mean age was 28.90±5.8, and 58.8% intended to give birth naturally. The mean score of the natural childbirth intention was 6.71±2.50. This intention had a direct correlation with all TPB constructs and social support (r=0.526-0.829; P=0.001). Based on results social support, and participation in childbirth education classes predicted 72% of changes in natural childbirth intention (R2 =0.72). Attitude alone was able to predict natural childbirth intention by 69% (β=0.12, 95% CI; 0.09%, 0.15%, P=0.001) Conclusion: The power of the TPB constructs for predicting the natural childbirth intention in pregnant women in northern Iran is high. The attitude construct is the best predictor of natural childbirth intention. To increase the tendency to choose natural childbirth, educational interventions based on the TPB with an emphasis on attitudes can be useful. In addition, measures should be taken for the active participation of pregnant women in childbirth preparation classes.

Abstract:
The labour pain experienced by 101 women giving birth in a Scottish hospital was assessed by the McGill Pain Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scales during active first stage labour and post-natally. Labour pain was found to be on average severe, but not intensely negatively affective. Its intensity varied considerably and was related to parity and the duration of the first stage of labour reflecting underlying differences in levels of noxious stimulation. Other obstetric and pharmacological factors which might affect noxious stimulation were not significantly related to pain scores. Induction was related to higher,and complications of pregnancy, to lower levels of pain attributable to psychological modulation. The desirability of pregnancy, positive and accurate expectations of birth, ante-natal training and the welcomed presence of the husband at the birth were associated with significantly lower levels of labour pain, particularly of non-sensory pain. A few subjects had very minimal previous experience of pain. These subjects had the lowest levels of pain in childbirth, perhaps because they were relatively insensitive to noxious stimulation. Subjects whose previous experience of pain had been extensive had significantly lower levels of labour pain than subjects whose previous pain experience had been more limited. Subjects who had extensive experience of pain used a larger number of strategies to cope with that pain than subjects whose experience had been more moderate. They used more strategies during labour, a greater proportion of which they had used previously. The use of a number of strategies in labour, either in combination or in sequence was related to lower levels of labour pain but not to painless childbirth. So too was the use of strategies which had been previously utilised. The relationship between previous pain experience and levels of labour pain was mediated by the differential use of coping strategies.

Abstract:
This work has as its object the speeches about childbirth studied from the analysis of discourse. Using speeches about childbirth as relays for public policies and between technicians and users of the health system in Aracaju, social movements and the humanization of childbirth step to formulate the question: were the modes of naturalization in childbirth practices reflecting modeling conduct, production of stereotypies and determinism in the effects of this experience? The goal is to study how the disciplining and control bodies traverse the speeches on labor and the extent to which discourses about childbirth presented as progressive or liberating subdues can produce. To this end, the article shows a brief genealogy of the birth, the trajectory of their practices, biopolitical crossings and State policies, and discuss and give visibility to the affective, economic, aesthetic, ecological implications. The trajectory analysis ends up unfolding the relationship between the proposed humanized labor and the emergence of a pedagogy of childbirth and pregnancy anchored in the role of Doula. The research method is based on the concepts of institutional analysis implication and superimplication, regarded to research on the implications of the research are considered the essence of scientific work.
O presente trabalho tem como objeto os discursos sobre o parto estudado a partir da análise do discurso. Utilizando os discursos sobre o parto tal como se veicula pelas políticas públicas e entre técnicos e usuários do sistema de saúde em Aracaju, e pelos movimentos sociais de humanização do parto passo a formular a questão: estariam os modos de naturalização nas práticas de parto refletindo modelação de condutas, produção de estereotipias e determinismos nos efeitos dessa experiência? O objetivo é estudar de que forma a disciplinarização e/ou o controle dos corpos atravessam os discursos sobre o parto e em que medida os discursos sobre o parto apresentados como progressistas ou libertadores podem produzir assujeitamentos. Para tanto, o texto percorre uma breve genealogia do parto, a trajetória de suas práticas, atravessamentos biopolíticos e das políticas de Estado, além de discutir e dar visibilidade às implicações afetivas, econômicas, estéticas, ecológicas. A trajetória da análise acaba desdobrando as relações entre a proposta de parto humanizado e a emergência de uma pedagogia do parto e da gestação ancorada na função da Doula. O método da pesquisa se baseia nos conceitos da análise institucional de implicação e sobreimplicação que se refere à pesquisa em que as implicações do pesquisador são consideradas como o essencial do trabalho científico.

However, the WHO recommends normal delivery and emphasizes their active participation. This work aims to prepare a shift of paradigm for care in normal/natural birth. A situation analysis was conducted using a sample of Maternal Health Specialists Nurses and mothers (21 and 125). Data was collected in questionnaires following WHO recommendations. Recommended and not recommended practices are being used. Given the situation analysis, documentation, including good practice guide, poster and informative guide were elaborated. A physical space prototype and equipment to be purchased were projected with the approval of the institution. Towards a new model of care is believed to be necessary to strengthen the autonomy of the Nurses' own knowledge given their daily activities under the law. In fact they follow the birth process and are recognized by organizations.

Abstract:
Experimentation in field settings addressing socially sensitive topics are generally avoided by researchers. This avoidance is based on the restrictive nature of the required controls and the perceived inability to implement the required designs. In this study, the researcher has documented the necessary steps to meet design requirements for the conduct of a quasi-experimental study in two field settings. This quasi-experimental study addresses a case dealing with the attitudes of parents regarding their childbirth experiences. Programs for childbirth education traditionally emphasize the "natural" method of birth. Socially, cesarean births are currently being performed in 20 percent of the cases. Nursing education literature Suggests that prepared childbirth education programs contribute to negative parental attitudes for those experiencing cesarean birth. In the case for this study, attitudes of parents experiencing both vaginal and cesarean births and receiving three different levels of childbirth education were investigated. Documentation of the required research controls for the case was achieved through the maintenance of a log of events. The three levels of childbirth education included two types of Lamaze training and the non-prepared. Two hundred and sixteen (216) parents in each of the settings were included in the study representing 54 vaginal and 54 cesarean births. The measurements included hospital records/and response to a modified Likert scale. Analysis of variance was used to test the research hypothesis. Documentation of all research requirements for the study was successfully completed and case results obtained. Parents experiencing cesarean birth had more negative attitudes than those experiencing vaginal birth. In one of the two field settings, childbirth education was validated as contributing to more negative attitudes for cesarean birth, but was not replicated in the second setting. A significant (P<.05) first order interaction between type of birth and receipt of childbirth education was found in both settings.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: During childbirth, one of the most common diagnoses of pathology is ‘failure to progress,’ frequently resulting in labour augmentation and intervention cascades. However, ‘failure to progress’ is poorly defined and some evidence suggests that plateauing labour (slowing, stalling and pausing of labour processes) may represent a typical and physiological occurrence during normal childbirth. Therefore, this study aimed to explore what exactly midwives define as ‘physiological plateaus’ and which significance such plateaus may have for the labour trajectory and birth outcome. Methods: This study followed a constructivist grounded theory approach, assuming a position of ontological critical realism combined with epistemological constructivism. Twenty midwives across Australia participated in individual semi-structured interviews between September 2020 and February 2022. Midwives were eligible to participate if they had a midwifery qualification (any type, any country) and had experience with supporting women during normal childbirth (any birth setting). Interviews were transcribed and analysed using multiple, inductive and deductive, coding steps and constant comparative methods, resulting in a descriptive and explanatory grounded theory. This research was funded through an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship as part of MW’s PhD program. Ethical approval was obtained from Edith Cowan University’s Human Research Ethics Committee. Findings: This study found that physiological plateaus are common, can occur during the entire continuum of labour and birth, are typically followed by a self-resumption and acceleration of labour and result in good birth outcomes for mother and baby. The primary aetiology of physiological plateaus appears to be a self-regulation of the mother-baby-unit. Further, it was found that the conceptualisation of plateauing labour depends largely on health professionals’ philosophical assumptions around childbirth. Whereas the ‘Medical Dominant Paradigm’ frames plateaus as invariably pathological, the ‘Holistic Midwifery Paradigm’ acknowledges plateaus as a normal and valuable element of labour. Consequently, some midwives find themselves in a position of philosophical dissonance in their workplace, perceiving that physiological plateaus are misinterpreted as pathological and subsequently reverting to (overt and covert) juggling strategies aimed at protecting women from undue medical interventions. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that midwives’ unique holistic philosophy can have a direct positive impact on birth outcomes for mothers and babies, as it challenges narrow definitions of normality and adapts flexibly to women’s individual labour patterns, including patterns with physiological plateaus. The novel theory presented in this study emphasises the significance of physiological plateaus during labour and encourages a renegotiation of what can be considered healthy and normal during childbirth.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experience of parents who have had a homebirth in the past two years in Perth. Studies conducted to date have predominantly used quantitative research methods, investigating the safety of homebirth and comparing home to hospital birth without exploring a couples experiences. A phenomenological approach was used as it seeks to understand human experience in context. The research design consisted of a field study, in which ten parent couples were interviewed and three homebirth videos observed. Data analysis was conducted according to the procedure outlined by Colaizzi (cited in Knaack, 1984, p. 110) which is to describe, interpret and extrapolate common themes and meanings. Of the ten couples interviewed four couples spoke of their first child's homebirth and the remaining six couples had three or four children who had been born at home. Research participants were attended to during their homebirth by one of five registered midwives. The essence of these parents' experiences of homebirth was gained through identifying significant statements from transcripts and field notes then clustering these into themes. The four essential themes were Constructing the Environment, Assuming Control, Birthing, and Resolving Expectations. The research findings provide health professionals and consumers with an insight into homebirth which challenges them to alter their practices and assumptions regarding this birth environment.

Abstract:
AbstractFor some women and their partners, childbirth may be traumatic in retrospect due to unwanted experiences during labour and birth. Maybe due to physical trauma, such as pelvic floor injuries, episiotomy, operative vaginal delivery, or urgent caesarean section. This can impact everyday life activities and affect the sexual life postpartum. The extent of the trauma influences postpartum recovery and the moment of resuming vaginal intercourse, as well as the possible development of dyspareunia. Next to physical damage, childbirth can also be a psychotraumatic experience because of feelings of failure, disconnection between the partners, loss of the baby, or loss of self. Such psychological factors can cause post-traumatic stress disorder and sexual disturbances in the woman and the couple. Midwives play a vital role in preventing soft tissue damage and unnecessary episiotomy and later in proper psycho-education, pain management, and wound care. Midwives are also key players in preventing psychotraumatic experiences and aftercare in case of negative psychological and sexual consequences for the woman and the couple. Within that context, they should be able to address sexuality adequately.This chapter is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’, a Springer Nature open-access textbook for midwives and related healthcare professionals.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the sexual side effects of various medications used in midwifery and obstetric practice. The chapter will start with background information on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics geared to pregnancy and the changing pregnant body. During pregnancy, the increased cardiac output causes a shorter time to metabolise and eliminate medication. In addition, the blood plasma volume and the total amount of the ‘watery environment’ increase, causing a lower plasma concentration of hydrophilic drugs. Lipophilic drugs take longer to be eliminated because residing longer in the increased ‘fatty environment’ and not in the blood plasma.During pregnancy, the binding of drugs to plasma proteins decreases as well, meaning that a higher amount of the drug can bind to the target with increased therapeutic or undesired side effects.The chapter will give detailed information on the potential sexual implications of medication.Finally, the chapter will indicate how to deal with actual or potential sexual side effects.It is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’, a Springer Nature open-access textbook for midwives and related healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter will pay attention to the disturbances related to the pelvic floor, focusing on their sexuality-related consequences. It will start with the troubles during pregnancy, followed by the problems after childbirth. At the end of each topic, it will offer treatment recommendations.The urinary disorders will cover stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), climacturia (losing urine during orgasm), and urinary tract infections. The defecation disorders will cover anal incontinence, flatal incontinence, and constipation. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) does usually not happen in the first pregnancy, though the primigravid woman can have similar complaints.Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) tends to start during pregnancy.Pregnancy and vaginal birth are the most common risk factors for postpartum PF disorders: stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder syndrome, pelvic organ prolapse, and anal incontinence. On the one hand, that may sound like pathologizing childbirth. On the other hand, healthcare providers should be aware that they tend to underestimate the rates of (anal) obstetric injuries, and most textbooks do not mention levator ani avulsion.Aspects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) receive ample attention in the treatment recommendations. In the postpartum part, the chapter pays extra attention to perineal pain, vaginal laxity, and overactive pelvic floor. Those are disruptive elements for intimacy and sexuality, just like all the other mentioned disturbances.This chapter is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’, a Springer Nature open-access textbook for midwives and related healthcare professionals.

Whereas some women with a psychiatric disease would like to become mothers, other women develop mental health disturbances as a direct result of reproductive changes. The important ones are depression during pregnancy, peripartum anxiety and tocophobia, postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and, in some women, postpartum psychosis.Those mental health disturbances impact the woman’s sexuality, her partner’s sexuality, and the relationship. When drug therapy is required, we must pay extra attention to the risks for the unborn and breastfed baby. On the other hand, psychiatric medication has extensive sexual side effects.The chapter uses several case histories to demonstrate the clinical impact and potential solutions for these challenging situations.This chapter is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’, a Springer Nature open-access textbook for midwives and related healthcare professionals.

Abstract:
AbstractIn some countries, midwives play a large part in contraceptive care. In many other countries, contraception is not a part of the midwife’s scope of practice till the baby is born. They then have to counsel about contraception and eventually about intervals between pregnancies. For healthy motherhood and good parenthood, the young mother should not become pregnant within a year and a half after childbirth. So counselling or prescribing contraception is an integral part of good postpartum care and falls under the midwife’s responsibility.Every contraceptive method has advantages and disadvantages, whether physical, emotional, relational, or sexual. This chapter will address the sexual consequences of various contraceptive methods with up-to-date information on the pros and cons of each method. In the context of this book, contraception during postpartum and breastfeeding will get extra attention.The chapter will include information on emergency contraception and the situation when contraception has failed.This chapter is part of ‘Midwifery and Sexuality’, a Springer Nature open-access textbook for midwives and related healthcare professionals.

Abstract:
In 2011–2014 and since 2019, a programme of psychotherapeutic and psycho-preventive training for childbirth has been held in the antenatal clinic, State Budgetary Healthcare Institution in Novosibirsk Region, City Clinical Hospital Nº1. Parallel to this, informative talks are held with gynaecologists to increase a flow of pregnant women to the psychotherapy room. From May till February in 2019, three hundred ninety-one women received psychotherapeutic counselling. One hundred fourty-seven women were included in a birth preparation programme. Classes are conducted in a group format and, if necessary, individually. The program is carried out in three stages: orientation, correction, fixing. At the first stage, healthy groups as well as pre-nosological conditions and mental disorders were identified. Three women were sent to a psychiatric hospital for medical treatment. The effectiveness of the programme was expressed in reduction or elimination of maladjustment and psychopathological manifestations, or in a significant reduction in the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms, which was by clinical scales. Pregnant women with an asthenic variant of pre-nosological conditions and pregnant women from F40–48 (МКБ-10) had the most successful psychotherapeutic rehabilitation. There were isolated cases of incomplete recovery, and there were no cases without dynamics. Diseases with long-term functional and structural changes of vegetative nervous system require earlier interventions of a psychotherapist, long-term therapy and both pharmacological and neurological treatment. Furthermore, the effectiveness was expressed in a higher number of completed pregnancies, a shorter duration of a childbirth process, a higher number of natural births. Body weight and Apgar scores for children born among women with pre-nosological conditions and psychopathology who had undergone psychotherapeutic program and psycho-preventive training were reliably higher. In order to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures and increase the level of assistance to pregnant women, it is necessary to introduce psycho-preventive training programmes in antenatal clinics in Novosibirsk. This helps to the favorable outcome of pregnancy and childbirth. С 2011–2014 гг. и с 2019 г/. по настоящее время в женской консультации ГБУЗ НСО ГКБ №1 г. Новосибирска проводится программа психотерапевтической и психопрофилактической подготовки к родам. Параллельно проводятся ознакомительные беседы с гинекологами, с целью увеличения потока беременных в кабинет психотерапевтической помощи. С мая по февраль 2019г., консультативную психотерапевтическую помощь прошла 391 женщина. Из них 147 – были включены в программу подготовки к родам. Занятия проводятся в формате групп, и если необходимо – индивидуально. Программа проводится в 3 этапа: ознакомительный, коррекционный, закрепляющий. На 1 этапе выявлялись группы здоровых, а также донозологические состояния и психические расстройства. 3 женщины направлены в психиатрический стационар для медикаментозного лечения. Эффективность программы выражалась в уменьшении или исчезновении проявлений дезадаптации, психопатологических проявлений, либо в значительном снижении тяжести тревожных и депрессивных симптомов, что подтверждалось показателями клинических шкал. Наиболее успешными в плане психотерапевтической реабилитации явились беременные с астеническим вариантом донозологических состояний и беременные с F40–48 по МКБ-10. Отмечены единичные случаи неполного выздоровления, и ни одного состояния без динамики. Заболевания, в составе которых есть вовлеченность длительных функциональных и структурных изменений вегетативной нервной системы, требуют более ранних вмешательств психотерапевта, длительных сроков терапии и совместного медикаментозного неврологического лечения. 164 Кроме того, эффективность выражалась в большем количестве законченных беременностей, меньшей продолжительности процесса родов, большем количестве естественных родов. Масса тела и показатели по шкале Апгар у детей, рожденных у женщин с донозологическими состояниями и психопатологией, прошедших ппсихотерапевтическую программу и психопрофилактику – были достоверно выше. Для повышения эффективности реабилитационных мероприятий и повышения уровня оказания помощи беременным, необходимо внедрять программы психопрофилактической подготовки на уровне женских консультаций г. Новосибирска. Это способствует благоприятному исходу беременности и родов.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Due to the painful nature of childbirth and its maternal and neonatal complications, the woman needs support in this phase of their life. The anxiety felt by women before caesarean delivery caused psychological problems, the increased of surgical pain therefore increased the need for pain relief, and prolong hospitalization. This study aimed to investigate the difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal and sectio caesarea. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Haji hospital, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. A sample of 34 intrapartum mothers was selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variable was anxiety. The independent variables were normal and section cesarea birth delivery. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by independent t test. Results: There was no difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal birth delivery (Mean= 56.82; SD= 15.02) and mother those with section cesarea (Mean= 58.19; SD= 12.02). Conclusion: There is no difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal birth delivery and mother those with section cesarea.

Abstract:
As per WHO, the global estimates for the year 2017 indicate that there were 295 000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth however most could have been prevented. Behavior Change Communication (BCC) is one of the most cost effective ways of targeting the issues of RCH care. There is a need to sensitize the Auxiliary Nurse and Midwives (ANMs) regarding the benefits of adopting a systematic BCC intervention (RMNCH+A in India 2013). // Objective: 1: To develop self learning material on BCC for RCH care 2: To assess effectiveness of Self learning material (SLM) on practices of ANMs regarding BCC for RCH care // Method: The quantitative research approach evaluative in nature and One group pretest and repeated post-test research design to assess the retention of learning among 94 study sample after reading the SLM was used for present study. Researcher developed SLM as an intervention of study with learning objective to describe the process of Behaviour Change Communication and related role of ANMs for RCH care and got validated by 21 subject experts. Structured questionnaire as an assessment tools consisting items on reported practices related to providing need based relevant information during RCH care, selection of audience and use of various BCC approaches and methods on selected RCH care component was developed and got validated by 21 subject experts. Pre-test assessment of 94 In-service ANMs (ISAs) selected from 16 health units of Delhi was done using validated tool ,SLM was introduced using group discussion method followed by reading at own pace of study sample . Post test-1 assessment was done after one month of introducing SLM then assessment for post test -2 was done after three months to assess the retention // Result And Conclusion : Findings shows that most of the In-service ANMs 61 (64.9%) scored below 50% marks in pre test assessment done before reading the SLM . It reveals that ISAs had inadequate practices regarding BCC for RCH care. However after reading the SLM majority of ISAs 89 (94.7%) and 56 (59.6%) scored more than 75% marks in post test-I and II respectively. Finding revealed that SLM was significantly effective to enhance the pre-test mean practice score from 51.05 to 99.25 and 86.90 in post test-I and II respectively (p<.001). // Discussion: It was revealed by Novick, (2009), that target people for MCH care desired comprehensive and relevant information to clear their doubts, and enable them take informed decisions.

Abstract:
The gender perspective of economic activity implies the observation and explanation of differences between women and men. According to feminist literature, gender economic differences are a result of cultural norms that shape the asymmetrical division of gender roles in the private sphere. On the one hand, part-time employment is a form that has contributed to economic activity and women's employment, but on the other hand, it is more common among women and therefore contributes to the gender pay gap. Besides, the gender-specific nature of temporary contract employment shows that employment uncertainty is more prevalent among women. We explore the employment of young and middle-aged women in some post-Yugoslav countries, using LFS indicators from the Eurostat database, in a comparative perspective. Over the last ten years, Slovenia has consistently ranked among the countries with a high rate of economic activity for women aged 25-54. In 2022, the rate is the highest in Europe, reaching 90.5%. Additionally, the employment of women aged 20-49 who had children under the age of six is one of the highest in Europe. In 2021, the rate was 82.7%, which is 12 percentage points lower than men, marking one of the lowest gender gaps in the EU. In Croatia and Serbia, the rates are lower, and gender disparities are greater compared to Slovenia. However, these disadvantages are particularly pronounced in Serbia, where economic activity is over 10 pp lower and employment is almost 20 pp lower than in Slovenia. Although part-time employment is more common in Slovenia than in the other two post-Yugoslav countries, the percentages are significantly lower than the EU(27) average. In Slovenia, part-time employment was present in 11.5% of employed women aged 20-49 who had one child under the age of six, in 19.7% who had two, and in 25.7% who had three children of this age. In Croatia and Serbia, the percentages were almost 5 to 7% for women who had one or two children and between 11 to 12% for those who had three children under the age of six. Regarding temporary contracts, the percentage of employed women aged 25-54 years is lower in Slovenia (in 2021 - 9.1%) than in EU(27) (11.6%). Temporary contract employment is more prevalent in Serbia (19.0%) compared to Croatia (13.0%). This topic is important due to the issues of gender equality and family policies aimed at optimal conditions for decisions regarding parenthood and childbirth. The high employment rate of women in Slovenia and the relatively less prevalent part-time employment suggest the need for work-family reconciliation policies that support the full-time employment of both parents. In the other two post-Yugoslav countries, there is a need to boost the economic activity and employment of young and middle-aged women, as well as decrease temporary employment. Less favourable indicators are more pronounced in Serbia than in Croatia. The achievement of gender equality implies not only equality in employment but also the absence of gender-specific forms of employment that contribute to gender economic inequality.

An observation checklist for facility-based normal labor and delivery practices: The Galaa study. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2003.1000.

Abstract:
Globally, almost 515,000 women die every year from maternal causes related to pregnancy or childbirth. Most research focuses on identifying high-risk cases or managing obstetric emergencies, in an attempt to reduce women’s risk of dying of maternal causes. While facility practices for normal labor were extensively examined and revised in Europe and North America in the 1970s and 1980s, little is known about facility practices for normal labor in many parts of the developing world. It is important for practitioners and policymakers to know the nature and frequency of common facility practices for normal labor. Substandard care has been identified by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population as the leading avoidable factor contributing to maternal deaths in Egypt. Much progress has been achieved regarding management of obstetric emergencies, however facility practices for normal labor are unexplored and undocumented in Egypt. With the support and collaboration of El Galaa hospital staff, a study was conducted in 2001 and yielded comprehensive data. This monograph presents one of the data collection tools—the observation checklist—and describes the process of developing the checklist and a critical analysis of its performance.
