Abstract (sommario):

Background Women from migrant or minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly vulnerable to perinatal mental ill health. Peer support can be beneficial for those with perinatal mental ill health. This study's aim was to evaluate a training package combining perinatal mental health and the impact of migration to enable better support for women from ethnic minorities with perinatal mental ill health. Methods Peer supporters who undertook training completed a survey immediately afterwards and interviews were conducted 3 months later. A total of 10 peer supporters were trained. Results The participants all rated the training as ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ and reported increased awareness of perinatal mental ill health, cultural issues and women's vulnerability. More complex scenarios were requested, given the multi-factorial nature of many women's needs. Conclusions The combined training provided participants from different backgrounds with opportunities to learn from one another. Further evaluation among participants new to peer supporting is required.

Abstract (sommario):

This article presents evidence relating to the effects of Covid-19 on perinatal wellbeing, pregnancy and maternity. It describes findings from a qualitative project with 14 pregnant women and new mothers, conducted in England during the spring lockdown of 2020. It reveals that those who have additional vulnerabilities, such as financial insecurities, poor social relationships, experiences of birth trauma or physical and mental health difficulties have experienced the pandemic and social distancing measures with heightened effects on their wellbeing. Infant feeding support, health visits and baby weigh-in sessions were the three services most missed in their in-person formats and there was a near unanimous assertion that these are sorely needed. There was wide variation in accessing digital support; some were significantly unaware of sources of online support, with others using informal connections, some being supported extensively, remotely, by perinatal mental health services.

Abstract (sommario):

Background/Aims The prevalence of perinatal mental health issues is significantly higher among South Asian women in the UK. However, little attention has been given to examine the views and opinions of sub-groups of South Asians in the UK. Although the prevalence of perinatal mental health issues is much higher in Sri Lanka, so far, no studies have focused on Sri Lankan women in the UK. This study's aim was to examine the views and opinions of Sri Lankan women living in the UK about perinatal mental health. Methods A convergent mixed-method online survey was administered in English and Sinhalese. A total of 34 Sri Lankan women living in the UK, from their baby's conception to 24 months postpartum, were recruited. Qualitative responses were interpreted using thematic analysis, supported by quantitative data. Results The participants reported that they maintained good perinatal mental health with the support of their partner and family. Midwives were most involved in inquiring about and providing information on perinatal mental health. Social stigma was a dominant barrier to accessing support. Conclusions Midwives need to ensure that perinatal mental health is discussed sensitively with Sri Lankan women. Future quantitative research needs to examine if existing tools are culturally sensitive and qualitative research should include women's partners and families to explore how best to care for this population.

Background/Aims Self-rated health before, during and after pregnancy is important for women's quality of life and promotes bonding between mother and child. However, diverse aspects of care models influence women's experiences during pregnancy. This study aimed to investigate low-risk women's self-rated health during the perinatal period in relation to different models of care in Sweden. Methods A retrospective study was conducted of computerised obstetric data from 167 523 women with low-risk pregnancies during 2010–2015. Descriptive analysis was used, as well as group comparisons and ordinal regression analysis, to establish links between self-rated health before, during and after pregnancy and sociodemographic characteristics. Results The majority of women, regardless of model of care, rated their health as very good or good before, during and after pregnancy. During pregnancy, primiparous women, those who attended <7 midwife visits and those followed up by a private centre were more likely to rate their health as good. Women who had more than four midwives, were under the age of 30 years or foreign-born had increased risk of rating their health as bad. Postnatally, women who used private care, primiparous women and those aged 25–29 years were at lower risk of rating their health as bad. Conclusions Women attending private healthcare services tended to rate their health as better. Vulnerable groups of women need special attention from healthcare authorities.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate ethnic minority women's experiences and opinions of perinatal mental health problems and the provision support services. Methods An exploratory survey was undertaken using a questionnaire. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a simple thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data. A total of 51 responses from women of 14 different ethnic minority backgrounds were analysed. Findings Women from minority ethnic groups face barriers to seeking help for perinatal mental ill health as a result of ongoing stigma, the poor attitudes and behaviours of health professionals and inappropriately designed services. Conclusions Future interventions should focus on providing adequate cultural competency for health professionals and ensure that all women are able to access culturally appropriate spaces to talk and be listened to in community settings and wider services.

Abstract (sommario):

This article reports original research that describes new mothers' experiences of birth and maternity care. Qualitative data were collected through a survey on birth satisfaction, which included space for women to provide comments about their birth and experience of care. Thirty-nine women provided comments that were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Two themes emerged from the women's experiences: “Unexpected birth processes: expectations and reality” and “Coping with birth: the role of health-care staff.” Participants described unexpected birthing processes, their experiences of care, and maternity care staff's contributions to coping with birth. Implications for practice for childbirth professionals include promotion of physiologic birth, respectful person-centered care during all phases of perinatal care, and the value of childbirth preparation.

Abstract (sommario):

Inspired by the six quality-of-care goals developed by the Institute of Medicine, woman-centred care (WCC) as model of care is used in maternity services as it gives an emphasis on the woman as an individual and not her status as a patient. Bringing stronger attention to women’s needs and values, is proven to have clear benefits for perinatal outcomes, but fails to be known or recognised by healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) and implemented. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study aimed to explore HCPs definitions of WCC and identify the degree of agreement and knowledge regarding perinatal indicators when a WCC model of care is implemented. The quantitative part was carried using a self-administered questionnaire with perinatal indicators identified from the literature. Semi-structured interviews were realized using a purposive sample of 15 HCPs and an interview grid inspired by Leap’s WCC model. The study was conducted in the maternity of a university hospital in French-speaking part of Switzerland. Out of 318 HCPs working with mothers and their newborns, 51% had already heard of WCC without being familiar with Leap’s model. The HCPs were aware of the positive perinatal care outcomes when WCC was implemented: women’s satisfaction (99.2%), health promotion (97.6%), HCP’s job satisfaction (93.2%) and positive feelings about their work (85.6%), which were strongly emphasised in the interviews. The respondents reported institutional difficulties in implementing the model such as administrative overload and lack of time. The positive outcomes of WCC on spontaneous deliveries and improved neonatal adaptation were known by most HCPs (63.4% and 59.9%, respectively). However, fewer than half of the HCPs highlighted the model’s positive effects on analgesia and episiotomies or its financial benefits. Knowledge of quality-of-care outcomes (i.e women’s satisfaction, positive impact on practice…) was prevalent among most of HCPs. Without adhering to a common definition and without a specific model for consensus, most providers have integrated some aspects of WCC into their practice. However, specific perinatal indicators remain largely unknown, which may hinder the implementation of WCC.

Abstract (sommario):

During the latest decade Somali-born women with experiences of long-lasting war followed by migration have increasingly encountered Swedish maternity care, where antenatal care midwives are assigned to ask questions about exposure to violence. The overall aim in this thesis was to gain deeper understanding of Somali-born women’s wellbeing and needs during the parallel transitions of migration to Sweden and childbearing, focusing on maternity healthcare encounters and violence. Data were obtained from medical records (paper I), qualitative interviews with Somali-born women (II, III) and Swedish antenatal care midwives (IV). Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used. Compared to pregnancies of Swedish-born women, Somali-born women’s pregnancies demonstrated later booking and less visits to antenatal care, more maternal morbidity but less psychiatric treatment, less medical pain relief during delivery and more emergency caesarean sections and small-for-gestational-age infants (I). Political violence with broken societal structures before migration contributed to up-rootedness, limited healthcare and absent state-based support to women subjected to violence, which reinforced reliance on social networks, own endurance and faith in Somalia (II). After migration, sources of wellbeing were a pragmatic “moving-on” approach including faith and motherhood, combined with social coherence. Lawful rights for women were appreciated but could concurrently risk creating power tensions in partner relationships. Generally, the Somali-born women associated the midwife more with providing medical care than with overall wellbeing or concerns about violence, but new societal resources were parallel incorporated with known resources (III). Midwives strived for woman-centered approaches beyond ethnicity and culture in care encounters, with language, social gaps and divergent views on violence as potential barriers in violence inquiry. Somali-born women’s strength and contentment were highlighted, and ongoing violence seldom encountered according to the midwives experiences (IV). Pragmatism including “moving on” combined with support from family and social networks, indicate capability to cope with violence and migration-related stress. However, this must be balanced against potential unspoken needs at individual level in care encounters.With trustful relationships, optimized interaction and networking with local Somali communities and across professions, the antenatal midwife can have a “bridging-function” in balancing between dual societies and contribute to healthy transitions in the new society.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose. To describe women's postpartum experiences with mother-baby togetherness in hospital, and the concordance of their experiences with the recommendations from Health Canada (2000a) on family-centred maternity and newborn care (FCMNC). Design. Descriptive study based on secondary analysis of a telephone survey conducted at one week and six weeks postnatally. Five elements reported by women were examined: the timing of first physical contact, physical proximity during the first few hours, transfer together to postnatal unit, rooming-in, and combined mother-baby care. Setting. Four maternity units in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) including two level I units, one level II and one level III unit. A proportionate sample was drawn from each unit. The overall response rate to both interviews was 88.3%. Participants. Women (N = 552) who returned home with their babies within the first postnatal week, between October 2000 and March 2001. Findings. While in hospital, 95.8% of mothers and babies were separated. Combined care was reported by 84.7% of women and rooming-in by only 33.9% of women. Only 8.8% of women experienced all five FCMNC recommended practices. Practices varied between the units (p < .001). Women who had a caesarean birth were more likely to be separated from their infants than those who had a vaginal birth. Routine procedures performed in the nursery was the most frequently reported reason (55.8%) for the first separation of mothers and babies. Conclusion. Few women reported receiving care based on the FCMNC recommendations about mother-baby togetherness. Hospital practices varied considerably. It is recommended that healthy newborns receive care at their mothers' bedside. Further research is recommended to study the relationship between unit policy, actual practices, nurses' beliefs and women's preferences about the elements of mother-baby togetherness.

Abstract (sommario):

Maternal health care services are one of the health interventions to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. The health of mothers of childbearing age and of the unborn babies is influenced by many factors some of which include the availability and accessibility of health services for pregnant women. Low quality of health services being provided, and limited access to health facilities is correlated with increases maternal morbidity and mortality. This situation is caused by long distances between facilities as well as the people's own beliefs in traditional practices. This study was about the assessment of the women's knowledge on benefits of delivery in a hospital, the barriers to delivery services, and the perception of the delivery services rendered in the maternity ward of Okakarara hospital.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis sets out to explore some important gaps in the sociological and feminist understanding of the provision of maternity care and of women's health needs. The research was concerned with an exploration of the implementation of proposals for the provision of user-centred maternity care which emerged from the critiques of current medicalised provision. It evaluates the effects of an attempt to provide user-centred maternity care within the Primary Health Care sector (PHC) from both the women's and workers' perspectives and experience. The central questions addressed within the research have been: Firstly, to assess the degree to which such models of service delivery provide a user centred approach. Secondly, to identify the form of the relationship between the women users and providers from the practices and to develop an understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between them. Thirdly, to explore the extent to which the provision of such care is appropriate to match women users' self identified needs. Finally, to assess the potential of female health workers to adopt a form of provider and user relationship where the balance of power is altered in the users' favour. The main body of the research consisted of a qualitative study conducted in two general practices. These were chosen as specific examples of innovative practices attempting to provide a genuinely user-centred maternity service. The fieldwork consisted of three methodological components: Firstly, unstructured interviews were conducted with women users and workers. A sample of 30 women who were pregnant for the first time were interviewed on three occasions during their pregnancy and in the immediate post-natal period. In addition, 10 second time mothers were also interviewed post-natally. In terms of the workers', in depth interviews were conducted with midwives, GPs and practice nurses within the PHC setting. Secondly, observations were undertaken on the interactions between the women and workers and between members of the PHC team during the course of the women's antenatal and post-natal care. Finally, a structured questionnaire was used with a sample of women from one of the practice's well woman clinic. The research findings indicate the existence of a user-centred frame of reference held by female health workers - especially the midwives - for the provision of health care to women, which was opposed to the medical model. It explores the translation into practice of this model of maternity care and identifies the way that it functioned to enable women to exercise greater control over their health care and experience of pregnancy. Within this model the traditional 'with woman' role of the midwife was found to be central. Considerable convergence was found between the models held by the main parties in the interaction - issues concerned with choice, control and the provision of information were all found to be central to the care provided and to women's and workers' models. However, constraints on the effective implementation of the model were found in terms of the influence of professionalism (particularly on the GPs) and the dominance of the hospital system. These resulted in limits to the women workers' ability to meet the needs of women users.

Abstract (sommario):

The perinatal period is increasingly recognized as a vulnerable time for the development and exacerbation of psychopathology symptoms. Research has often focused on perinatal depression, with limited information on perinatal anxiety. This study examined the psychometric structure of all anxiety and depressive disorder symptoms as well as explored the relation between perinatal internalizing symptoms and sociodemographic, obstetric, and psychological risk factors. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common perinatal anxiety disorder that is now classified with the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum (OCS) (hoarding, body dysmorphic, trichotillomania, and excoriation disorders). This study also aimed to determine the prevalence of clinically significant OCS symptoms and their association with postpartum adjustment. Participants recruited from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (N =246) completed an online questionnaire and a structured clinical interview during pregnancy (28-32 weeks gestation) and the postpartum (6-8 weeks). Questionnaires assessed demographics, pregnancy complications, anxiety sensitivity, coping strategies, maternal attitudes and experiential avoidance. Clinical interviews dimensionally assessed all anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as past psychiatric diagnoses. Confirmatory factor analyses identified three factors: Distress (depression, GAD, irritability, and panic); Fear (social anxiety, agoraphobia, specfic phobia, and OCD); and Bipolar (mania and OCD) during pregnancy and the postpartum. During pregnancy, structural equation modeling demonstrated that past psychiatric history predicted Distress and Fear symptoms. Experiential avoidance mediated the relation between negative coping strategies and Fear symptoms. In the postpartum, negative maternal attitudes predicted Distress symptoms. Experiential avoidance mediated the relation between negative coping strategies and Fear symptoms as well as between anxiety sensitivity and Fear symptoms. There were low rates of clinically significant OCS symptoms, except for body dysmorphic disorder symptoms. Elevations in all OCS disorder symptoms were significantly associated with more difficulty adjusting to the postpartum. Past psychiatric history, negative maternal attitudes, and experiential avoidance are particularly important risk factors for perinatal anxiety. Future clinical research should be aimed at identifying at-risk women and modifying experiential avoidance during the perinatal period. Elevated OCS symptoms, particularly body dysmorphic disorder symptoms, affect postpartum adjustment. Future intervention work should focus on assessing and treating perinatal body dysmorphic disorder symptoms.

Abstract (sommario):

Background and Aims: Mental health difficulties during the perinatal period (pregnancy to 1 year postnatal) are commonplace and are associated with significant impacts for mothers and infants. There is an acknowledgement that more needs to be understood about perinatal mental health, particularly during pregnancy, and that service and treatment options need to be improved. Women's lived experience of difficulties during pregnancy, particularly when experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties, is a little researched area. A need for wider treatment options than medication alone has been highlighted and Peer Support Interventions (PSIs) are often considered within this area. Despite this, there is yet to be a review of their effectiveness to date that also considers women's views of such interventions. Therefore, this thesis aimed to systematically review literature focused on women's views of PSIs and their effectiveness. In addition, it also aimed to explore the lived experience of women with moderate to severe difficulties with their mental health during pregnancy, with a focus on trying to establish any psychological needs/needs they may have. Methods: A mixed methods systematic review was conducted to meet the aims on PSI interventions. This involved searching electronic databases, quality assessment of included papers and summarising results, including a meta-synthesis for qualitative findings. The empirical project, on women's lived experiences, utilised an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach to explore the lived experience of women experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties during pregnancy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 women recruited via a specialist perinatal mental health service. Results Thirteen studies were included in the review. Results highlighted the heterogeneity of types of PSIs and methodologies employed to evaluate these. Most studies focused on PSIs for the postnatal period and were often aimed at depression. There was a lack of research on PSIs targeted antenatally, or for other types of mental health difficulties. There was tentative evidence for the use of telephone based PSIs in reducing depressive symptomatology postnatally, but less evidence for the use of other types of PSI, or for interventions during pregnancy. The qualitative evidence highlighted the acceptability of PSIs to women and a meta-synthesis of qualitative research identified a number of themes representing women's views of PSIs. From the empirical project, several Superordinate themes were identified: Need for acceptance, Need for awareness, Search for explanations, What helped, Emotional intensity, Societal influences and Service provision. Within these a range of emergent themes were also found. These themes highlighted possible psychological needs and other needs during this time, as well as providing a greater understanding of women's lived experience. Conclusions: There is a need for more research to establish effectiveness of PSIs during pregnancy and of other modes of delivery and to build on existing findings on the effectiveness of telephone based PSIs. Women viewing PSIs as highly acceptable for perinatal mental health difficulties, should cause services to consider their use, or other opportunities for sharing of peer advice/information. Themes identified from the empirical project highlight the need for greater awareness and acceptance of mental health difficulties during pregnancy, as well as the impact of societal influences on women during this time, and the role clinicians and services could play in achieving greater awareness. Small changes within services could help raise awareness levels and help women feel less isolated.

Abstract (sommario):

Women in the UK have access to NHS maternity services and most will attend hospital to give birth in the NHS. Much effort has been undertaken over several decades to improve childbirth and to enhance the experiences of those using NHS maternity services. However, while most women report positive experiences of maternity care, existing evidence suggests that women from ethnic minority groups in the UK have poorer pregnancy outcomes, experience poorer maternity care, are at higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes and have significantly higher severe maternal morbidity than the resident white women (Puthussery, 2016; Henderson et al, 2013; Puthussery et al., 2010; Straus et al., 2009). Muslim women of child-bearing age make up a significant part of UK society, yet their health needs and their experiences of health services have not been extensively researched. The term ‘Muslim’ is often combined with ethnic group identity, rather than used to refer to people distinguished by beliefs, practices or affiliations. Muslim women commonly observe certain religious and cultural practices during their maternity journey and the little research there is in this area suggests that more could be done from a service provision perspective to support Muslim women through this, spiritually and culturally significant life event (McFadden et al., 2013; Alshawish et al., 2013). This study explores Muslim women’s perceived needs and the factors that influence their health seeking decisions during their transition to motherhood. Using a generic qualitative approach, seven English-speaking first time pregnant Muslim women and a Muslim mother who is second time pregnant but experiencing motherhood as a Muslim for the first time, were interviewed at different stages of their maternity journey (antenatal, post-labour and postnatal); five focus groups were conducted with Muslim mothers; and 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals. Thematic analysis of the transcripts revealed that Muslim women: 1) had a unique perspective on motherhood based on Islamic teaching; 2) sourced information from a number of sources, additional to midwives; 3) experienced difficulty expressing their religious requirements when preparing a birth plan; 4) assumed that healthcare professionals would have a negative view of Islam and Islamic birthing practices. While one-to-one interviews revealed that healthcare professionals: 1) varied in their perceptions of Muslim women; 2) had a general awareness of Muslim women’s Islamic practices but not specific to motherhood; 3) sourced cultural and religious information to enhance their understanding of women’s needs and their specific practices; 4) had some challenges when addressing women’s specific religious practices such as fasting; 5) would benefit from cultural/religious competency training that incorporates lived experience and group discussion. The implications for institutions, midwifery practice and further research are outlined. The study concludes that transcultural knowledge and specifically Muslim women’s worldview incorporated into healthcare professional training would enhance the competency and quality of healthcare services.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractPregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are the stressful transition periods to parenthood. With medicalization of perinatal period, parents feel left out and less confident in their parenthood journey, which may pose serious threats to the family dynamics. Salutogenesis theory offers the potential to influence a shift away from negative health outlooks and outcomes, medicalization of childbirth, toward health promotion and positive well-being focus for maternity care services design and delivery in the future.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract In Brazil there are several public policies aimed at women's health, especially for pregnant women. Physiological transformations can generate pathological processes, putting the life of the mother and fetus at risk. The denomination High Risk Pregnancy is broad and refers to all the situations that can interfere in the normal process of a pregnancy. Knowing the profile of this high-risk pregnant woman can facilitate the development of actions and public health policies that can minimize the high rates of high-risk pregnancies and maternal and perinatal mortality.

Abstract (sommario):

Objective. To summarize current research defining and measuring respectful maternity care (RMC) and evaluate the effectiveness of RMC and implementation strategies to improve health outcomes, particularly for populations at risk for health disparities. Data sources. Ovid MEDLINE®, Embase®, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to November 2022 and SocINDEX to July 2023; manual review of reference lists and responses to a Federal Register Notice. Review methods. Dual review of eligible abstracts and full-text articles using predefined criteria. Data abstraction and quality assessment dual reviewed using established methods. Systematic evaluation of psychometric studies of RMC tools using adapted criteria. Meta-analysis not conducted due to heterogeneity of studies and limited data. Results. Searches identified 4,043 unique records. Thirty-seven studies were included across all questions, including the Contextual Question (CQ). Twenty-four validation studies (3 observational studies, 21 cross-sectional studies) evaluated 12 tools for measuring RMC. One randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated RMC effectiveness. There were no effectiveness trials from settings relevant to clinical practice in the United States and no studies evaluating effectiveness of RMC implementation. For the CQ, 12 studies defined 12 RMC frameworks. Two types of frameworks defined RMC: (1) Disrespect and Abuse (D&A) and (2) Rights-Based. Components of D&A frameworks served as indicators for recognizing mistreatment during childbirth, while Rights-Based frameworks incorporated aspects of reproductive justice, human rights, and anti-racism. Overlapping themes from RMC frameworks included: freedom from abuse, consent, privacy, dignity, communication, safety, and justice. Tools that measured RMC performed well based on psychometric measures, but no single tool stood out as the best measure of RMC. The intrapartum version of the Mother’s Autonomy in Decision-Making (MADM), Mothers On Respect index (MORi), and the Childbirth Options, Information, and Person-Centered Explanation (CHOICES) index for measuring RMC demonstrated good overall validity based on analysis of psychometric properties and were applicable to U.S. populations. The Revised Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ-2) demonstrated good overall validity for measuring childbirth experiences and included RMC components. One fair-quality RCT from Iran demonstrated lower rates of postpartum depression at 6-8 weeks for those who received RMC compared with controls (20% [11/55] vs. 50% [27/54], p=0.001), measured by the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. No studies evaluated any other health outcomes or measured the effectiveness of RMC implementation strategies. Conclusions. RMC frameworks with overlapping components, themes, and definitions were well described in the literature, but consensus around one operational definition is needed. Validated tools to measure RMC performed well based on psychometric measures but have been subject to limited evaluation. A reliable metric informed by a standard definition could lead to further evaluation and implementation in U.S. settings. Evidence is currently lacking on the effectiveness of strategies to implement RMC to improve any maternal or infant health outcome.

Abstract (sommario):

Improvement in a woman’s quality of life is a prerequisite for development of human resources, because the quality of children’s physical and mental development is inextricably tied to the health and welfare of women as future mothers. If a mother is well protected during the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period, the risk of illness and other problems in fetuses and newborn babies will be reduced. On the other hand, if a woman does not survive the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period, her fetus or newborn will also be threatened. This paper provides a situation analysis of pregnant women, women in labor, and postpartum mothers, presenting also the level of morbidity and mortality of fetuses in the perinatal period (pregnancy from 28 weeks until the newborn is 7 days old), and, in more depth, the level of morbidity or mortality of infants in the neonatal period (age 0–28 days). Also presented are the risks and needs of reproductive-age couples or women of reproductive age (15–49 years), which require intervention at the individual, family, community, environmental, and national levels.
