Full textThis study is an investigation of the psychosocial trauma of stillbirth and the implications of that trauma for case management. Stillbirth is considered a crisis for parents that calls for immediate intervention and constructive management. It strains family coping mechanisms and can overwhelm them if not properly handled. Additionally, a grief response follows a stillbirth which must be recognised, accepted, and treated therapeutically if needed. Parents' problems and needs have not been adequately met by medical, social or community services. There is also little recognition of the training needed by medical personnel in the management of stillbirths. Stillbirth is also a crisis for medical personnel as the delivery of a dead baby evokes feelings of confusion and stress for those dealing with the confinement and aftercare. By highlighting the psychological and emotional sequelae of stillbirths for parents, the needs of parents after the event, and the needs of personnel providing care, the writer intended to contribute to an improved understanding of the issues related to stillbirth and, ultimately, to more compassionate care for those who experience this unhappy event. Issues analyzed and recorded are as follows: The emotional and physical reactions of mothers following a stillbirth; the assistance that parents need in order to adjust constructively; the impact that the stillbirth has upon the family; the mothers' interpretation of their management in hospital; and the hospital and community services rendered and needed to assist with constructive adjustment. Study data was collected over a six month period. Subjects were selected from one hospital and were residents of the municipal areas of Cape Town. Two face-to-face interviews were conducted with each respondent using a semi-structured interview schedule. The first interview, which took place within a week of the mothers' discharge from hospital, gathered data on the reactions of the respondents to stillbirth, the impact of stillbirth on the family, and respondents' interpretation of their management in hospital. This interview was tape-recorded. The second interview followed the interview schedule and obtained information on the needs of families after a stillbirth. Data was coded on the interview schedules and statistical analysis was done by computer. The findings of this study agreed with previous ones, that mothers display typical grief reactions after a stillbirth. The stillbirth was experienced as a disappointment that caused significant distress for the majority of mothers. Management was found to be satisfactory with the exception of post-natal placement. The need for options in this area became evident. A lack of social and psychological services, both within the hospital and in the community, was found. Using knowledge gained from this study, a support organization for parents experiencing stillbirths has been organized with the writer's assistance. A breakdown in communication between the hospital and the local authority health nursing services, in terms of knowledge about the stillbirth, was apparent, and improvement in this area is needed. Recommended guidelines for management based on the research findings and literature review have been proposed. The role of the social worker, doctor and nursing sister have been outlined.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to South African annual statistics, stillbirth is a relevant issue and National health policies, social welfare services and health care providers should place special focus on pregnant women to avoid the possible occurrence of a negative pregnancy outcome such as a stillbirth. An event that should have been a joyous birth, ended in a tragic death, forcing the mother to deal with the emotions of birth and death simultaneously. The bereaved mother needs to receive special care and support as soon as possible and the crisis intervention approach is seen as being helpful to regain a sense of equilibrium in her and the family’s life before starting to adapt to the new situation. This study explores and describes the lived experience of 25 mothers who experienced a stillbirth. Focus was given to the psychosocial implications of stillbirth on mothers and their families. This study examined the mothers’ feelings about the stillbirth six months or longer after the event, as well as its impact on relationships with partners and other children. By adopting a crisis intervention approach, the effectiveness of crisis intervention shortly after the stillbirth could be investigated. This study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches and assumed an exploratory and descriptive research design to provide a detailed description of the phenomenon being studied, i.e. the psychosocial implications of stillbirth. A questionnaire was used to obtain demographic (quantitative) data and a semi-structured questionnaire – the design based on information from literature - was administered during individual interviews. Obtained data was both measurable and rich in description and revealed that mothers still longed for their stillborn babies after a period of six or more months had passed. It also indicated that the father or partner of the baby and other children were affected by a stillbirth. Gender differences in how stillbirth is experienced by each partner, consequently adds extra tension on the relationship. Most of the mothers experienced the stillbirth as a crisis and found support in their mothers, family and a counsellor. Significantly, mothers felt crisis-intervention was beneficial, but preferred that crisis intervention be followed by on-going therapy. The stillbirth also resulted in feelings of alienation from community, friends and family - who did not know how to approach them. Generally, mothers were satisfied with medical care received but several issues regarding autopsy consent and guilt feelings surrounding this are highlighted. Important recommendations resulting from the study indicate that the crisis-intervention approach as method in social work is effective when rendering service for bereaved mothers and families after a stillbirth. It helps to regain a sense of equilibrium, but further intervention is recommended to facilitate the grief process. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of social workers being aware that the stillbirth causes tension in partner- and family relationships. Receiving social work intervention is not only highly effective, but allows bereaved mothers to feel empowered and encouraged to openly grieve for their stillborn babies - much needed in an environment where a stillbirth is seen as a silent birth.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Volgens jaarlikse Suid-Afrikaanse statistieke, is stilgeboorte ‘n relevante onderwerp en die Nasionale gesondheidsbeleid, maatskaplike welsynsdienste en gesondheidssorgverskaffers moet fokus op swanger vroue ten einde moontlike negatiewe swangerskapuitkomstes, soos stilgeboorte, te voorkom. Tydens ‘n stilgeboorte, eindig die heuglike vooruitsig van ‘n geboorte in die tragiese afsterwe van die baba en word die moeder geforseer om emosies van geboorte en sterfte gelyktydig te hanteer. Sulke moeders benodig spesiale versorging asook ondersteuning so spoedig moontlik. Krisis intervensie is ‘n effektiewe metode om die moeder te help om ‘n mate van balans in haar en haar gesin se lewe te herwin voordat hulle kan begin aanpas by die nuwe situasie. Hierdie studie ondersoek en beskryf ervarings van 25 moeders wat ‘n stilgeboorte ervaar het. Fokus word geplaas op die psigososiale effek van stilgeboorte op moeders en hul gesinne. Moeders se gevoelens rakende die stilgeboorte ses maande of langer na die geboorte, is ondersoek, asook die effek daarvan op hul verhoudings met lewensmaats en ander kinders. Deur die krisis intervensie benadering te gebruik, kon die effektiwiteit daarvan kort na die stilgeboorte ondersoek word. Kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes is in hierdie studie gebruik. Die studie veronderstel ʼn verkennende en beskrywende navorsingsontwerp om sodoende ʼn uitvoerige beskrywing van die psigososiale implikasie van stilgeboorte te verskaf. Data word verkry deur ʼn vraelyste - demografiese (kwantitatiewe) data, asook semigestruktureerde vraelyste (kwalitatief) wat tydens individuele onderhoude toegedien is. Die ontwerp van die semi-gestruktureerde vraelys is gebaseer op inligting vanuit die literatuurstudie. Die bevindinge van die empiriese ondersoek dui aan dat moeders na ses maande of langer steeds hunker na hul stilgebore babas. Geslagsverskille rakende die wyse waarop moeders en vaders die stilgeboorte ervaar dra gevolglik by tot ekstra spanning in die verhouding. Die meeste moeders het die stilgeboorte as ‘n krisis ervaar en het ondersteuning gevind by hulle moeders, gesinne en ‘n berader/maatskaplike werker. ‘n Beduidende bevinding was dat moeders krisis intervensie as voordelig beskou het, maar verkies dat dit opgevolg moet word deur deurlopende terapie. Die stilgeboorte veroorsaak ook dat die moeders ‘n gevoel van vereensaming van die gemeenskap, vriende en familie ervaar het. Volgens hulle was mense te bang en onseker in hoe om hulle te benader. In die algemeen was moeders tevrede met die mediese sorg wat hulle ontvang het, maar kwessies rakende toestemming en skuldgevoelens rondom nadoodse ondersoeke word uitgelig. Belangrike aanbevelings dui aan dat krisis intervensie as metode in maatskaplike werk effektief is ten opsigte van dienslewering vir ‘n moeder en haar gesin na ‘n stilgeboorte. Dit help om ‘n mate van balans te herstel, maar verdere intervensie word aanbeveel om die rouproses te fasiliteer. Die studie beklemtoon ook dat dit belangrik is dat maatskaplike werkers bewus moet wees dat ‘n stilgeboorte spanning veroorsaak in huweliks- en gesinsverhoudings. Die ontvangs van maatskaplike werk intervensie is nie net hoogs effektief nie, maar bemagtig en motiveer moeders om openlik te rou vir hulle stilgebore babas, iets wat nodig is in ‘n samelewing waar stilgeboorte as ‘n geboorte beskou word waaroor daar nie gepraat word nie.

The private sector has played and continues to play a decisive role in the shaping of policy-making concerning knowledge-based goods. The result is an unequal battle between access to knowledge and enclosure favouring the latter over the former. Such an unbalanced scenario chiefly affects the South, but has implications for the public everywhere. The Development Agenda being proposed for adoption by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and which has been advocated for and designed by developing countries governments in collaboration with a coalition of governments, academics, civil society and public interest NGOs from both North and South, is the latest attempt to bring a balance to this scenario. However, the Development Agenda is encountering opposition and despite the unique nature of the coalition backing it, the outcome is uncertain.

Full textStillbirth is the death of the product of gestation, before the expulsion of the maternal body. For the mother, the news of his son\'s death during the period of pregnancy is traumatic, since instead of an expectation of a life, she finds desperation and sadness. This research aimed to understand the mothers experience of having a stillbirth child. The theoretical framework adopted was the grief theory. Interpretative Interactionism was the methodological referential for the biographical narrative analysis of nine mothers who had the experience of having a stillbirth child. The events that determined the mothers history in this scenario were: BEING SURPRISED BY THE BAD NEWS, GIVING A NON SENSE BIRTH, LEAVING WITH EMPTY HANDS AND FACING THE SOCIAL MOURNING. The analyzed data enabled an understanding of mothers experience face to death of her child during pregnancy. The death of the baby in late pregnancy, when characterized as a stillbirth, is incomprehensible to the mother. She becomes exhausted, has a deep emotional pain, followed by a feeling of vulnerability that prevents her from thinking about the future or the possibility of a new pregnancy. To see the stillbirth child is a significant moment and not always the mother can verbalize her desire to know, to touch, to hold her child who is now dead. The grieving process is experienced in a lonely way, since her sadness is not shared with family and friends. They prefer to be alone due to feeling shame for failing to produce a healthy child and they cry all the time. The study reinforces that it is necessary to insert information and knowledge concerning the grief process relevant to these mothers to health professionals, even in undergraduate courses. This would allow them to give those mother some control over the experience, thus recovering their autonomy and allowing them to prevent their physical and mental health

Full textAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), every day, worldwide, about 1,000 women die due to causes related to pregnancy or childbirth and, every year, more than eight million children in low and middle income countries die before reaching five years of age. The WHO was clear: maternal and child health is a topic of enormous medical importance and requires investments, projects, energy and commitment; it is an essential part of the public health of human populations. Improving the approach and access to health care, making qualified assistance, drug treatment and training of the operators more available, but also elementary preventive interventions during pregnancy, childbirth and the early years of a child's life, can prevent avoidable deaths and reduce several neonatal outcomes. Given the complexity of all the issues and problems concerning births and maternal and child health, through this thesis I propose a path divided into several stages which covers various topics starting from the socio-economic profile of the mother, moving to the pharmacological profile of pregnancy, up to the prevention of stillbirths. Several statistical methods were implemented to answer the different questions depending on the aim of each study. Log-binomial regression was used for estimating the association between the mother’s exposure during pregnancy and the selected neonatal outcomes. The fully conditional specification (FCS) model was performed to generate appropriate values of missing data for those women with missing covariates. The rule-out approach described by Schneeweiss was implemented to make our estimates, which might be affected by unmeasured confounder, more robust. The mediation analysis described by VanderWeele and Vansteelandt was used to assess the role that some adverse neonatal events at presentation (mediator) play in the relationship between the mother’s exposure during pregnancy (exposure) and adverse neonatal events later in life (outcome). Lastly, the Propensity Score Stratification derived from the predicted probability of treatment estimated in a logistic-regression model, as well as the high-dimensional propensity score algorithm to evaluate hundreds of inpatient diagnosis, procedures, and pharmacy claims, were completed to account for all potential confounders. The aim of my thesis is to identify factors to develop and improve the health care related to maternal- fetal and maternal-child world (before and after birth, respectively) from a sociodemographic, farmacoepidemiology, and clinical point of view. The layout of the thesis has been divided into different sections. I will proceed in the first instance by giving an overview of the methods used in the various studies carried out during my PhD, proceeding with a detailed description of the latter.

Full textPerinatal deaths are emotion-laden events not only for the mothers, but also for physicians and midwives. Hence, mothers experiencing the phenomenon need support to overcome the experience. If the loss occurs in a health institution, the responsibility of supporting the woman is borne by healthcare providers, particularly midwives. However, limited information exists on how midwives manage patients who experience perinatal loss in health institutions. Consequently, this study on midwives' experiences of managing patients' perinatal loss at a maternity hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa was conducted. The aim of the study was to explore midwives' management of patients with perinatal loss. The study utilised a qualitative research design and employs a phenomenological approach. Purposive sampling was used to select eight registered midwives to participate in the study. Data was collected by means of in-depth unstructured interviews, which were audio-recorded. It was then analysed by utilising Colaizzi's (1978) steps of phenomenological data analysis. Four themes emerged from the data, namely, knowledge of perinatal loss, challenges when managing patients, managing perinatal loss, and getting emotionally involved. Themes were informed by several subthemes. In addition, implication on practice indicates that improving support to mothers with pregnancy loss requires a multi-disciplinary approach or teamwork from various professionals in order to enhance mutual collaboration between families and healthcare workers. The study concludes that nursing education programmes should be reviewed to ensure that they include midwives' needs in the area of managing clients experiencing a perinatal loss. Hence, student midwives should be given more clinical experience of caring for bereaved couples under supervision, as well as compassionate support, which would assist them to develop these skills before they graduate.

Full textBackground: Stillbirths or intrauterine fetal death have wide effects on families. This is about women’s and children’s health as well as equity in health for all. As Sweden becomes more multicultural, new challenges in equity on women’s and children’s health develope related to culture, communication, women –and family matters, lifestyle and medical issues. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the occurence of stillbirths in immigrant women compared to Swedish women and investigate factors related to stillbirths. Method: Data from 904 646 newborns and their mothers during the period 1992-2001 was analysed using bivariat analyses. A literature study was undertaken with a systematic appraisal of relevant national and international research in the field. Results: The analyses showed that stillbirth was more common in non-European immigrant women. OR: 1,45 (95% CI 1,28-1,63). Non-European immigrant women in Sweden had higher odds of stillbirths compared to the background population. The litterature showed that non-European immigrant women have 2-3 times the risk of stillbirths, and the risk of stillbirths is also increased in women of lower socioeconomic status (SES). Other risk factors indicated to be important are age, consanguinity, smoking and the quality of perinatal care. Conclusions: Non-European immigrant women in Sweden have higher odds of stillbirths compared to the background population. These women also have an increased risk of low SES, which is itself a riskfactor of stillbirth. Appropriate knowledge of difference in health needs in different groups in the community is important for filling the health care needs and improving the medical treatments. Further research is needed from different sectors to assess the importance of lifestyle, language limitations and how these women are treated by the health care system.
