MIDI6580 |
Midwifery and Cultural Diversity School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Newcastle This course is designed to enable midwives to examine issues related to the maternity services for childbearing women and neonates at an international and local level using social determinants of health and human rights perspectives. This leads into a critical exploration of the political and cultural context of childbearing in Australia for asylum seekers, refugees or immigrants to enable midwives to make informed, high-level judgements about the maternity care provided, women's rights in childbearing and the outcomes for women and neonates. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of international perspectives on indigeneity and culturally safe, sensitive and competent women-centred care when working with childbearing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Public health advocacy skills are demonstrated in creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture to ensure zero tolerance of xenophobia, violence and discrimination. The course also examines factors regarding the social construction of motherhood and parenthood, the effect of media and implications for midwifery practice. Post-graduate core course for Masters in Midwifery Studies. Unit weight 10. |

Participants were older adults living in three residential aged care facilities who had received an acupressure intervention. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a thematic approach. Twelve participants (10 females and two males) were interviewed. Four major themes emerged: Having Better Sleep, Feeling Calm and Relaxed, Promoting Well-Being and Functional Status, and Acceptability of Acupressure. Participants¿ perception of the acupressure was positive, as participants found acupressure to be beneficial for the improvement of sleep, mood, and general well-being. Participants¿ overall perception supports the acceptability of acupressure and suggests acupressure may be beneficial for improving sleep, relaxation, and well-being in older adults.

[more] Objective: To evaluate the impact of using an academic electronic medical record program on first-year nursing students¿ confidence and skill in E-documentation after their hospital clinical placement. Background: Registered nurses are the largest user group of health information technology systems such as patient electronic medical records (eMR). As such, nurse undergraduate programs need to reflect contemporary practices and respond to emerging trends including digital technology, however integration of eMR learning has not occurred in many countries. To address this gap, a fit-for-purpose academic eMR simulation program was developed by nursing academics and a university Learning Design Department member. Study Design and Methods: A quasi-experimental study design, with self-administered pre-test, post-test surveys, was used with a convenience sample of all first-year nursing students at one regional university in NSW Australia in 2019 and 2021. Results: A total of 105 students completed the surveys (9.7% pre, and 7.4% post-test survey). Only 23% of respondents received training during hospital clinical placement on eMR and electronic observation charts. There was a significant increase in participant confidence and knowledge in documenting in electronic adult observational charts and notes after using the academic eMR program and attending clinical placement. Three themes emerged from the qualitative data: preparation for practice; more exposure increases confidence; and we can¿t forget the patient. Conclusion: Students acknowledged the need for repeated practice using an academic eMR program in university learning environments to ensure they would be work-ready. The identified challenge was the communication barrier (computer on wheels) and the potential negative impact on person-centred care and therapeutic communication. Implications for research, policy and practice: Further research is required to determine whether repeated practice with electronic documentation is best placed within a curriculum to increase learner confidence. Simulations that incorporate workstations on wheels should be tested to determine best practice for therapeutic communication. What is already known about this topic? ¿ Registered nurses are the largest user group of health information technology systems. ¿ Nursing undergraduate program needs to reflect contemporary practices including digital technologies. ¿ Integration of eMR education in undergraduate nursing programs has not occurred in many countries. What this paper adds: ¿ Evaluation of a fit-for-purpose academic electronic medical record program integrated into an undergraduate nursing student¿s curriculum. ¿ There was a significant increase in participant confidence and knowledge in documenting in electronic adult observational charts and notes after using the academic eMR program. ¿ Digital technology education tailored for students of different age groups may be required.

Elective repeat CS (ERCS) greatly contribute to the rising rate which increases unnecessary risks of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is a safe mode of birth for most women; however, uptake remains low. Our objective is to find the factors that influence women¿s decisionmaking to support informed choices for the mode of next birth after caesarean section (NBAC). Methods: A literature search was conducted in CINAHL, Maternity and Infant Care, Embase, EmCare, Cochrane Library and Medline databases. Primary, qualitative, peer reviewed, English language research articles were assessed according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Articles were systematically assessed for inclusion or exclusion. Included studies were assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative studies checklist, Noblit and Hare¿s seven-step meta-ethnography approach synthesised themes. Results: Fourteen primary research articles were included. Six studies on 287 women focused on VBAC, and eight studies examined both VBAC and ERCS with 1861 women and 311 blogs. Thematic analysis yielded four primary themes: Influence of health professionals, impact of previous birth experience, optimal experience, and being in control. Conclusion: This meta-ethnography highlights health professionals¿ influence on women¿s decision making. To assist in decision-making, women need supportive health professionals who provide the current evidence-informed information about risks and benefits of each mode of birth. Health professionals need skills to provide supportive shared decision-making, debrief women regarding indications for their primary caesarean, and address issues of safety, fear, and expectations of childbirth.

[more] Objectives: This integrative review aimed to synthesize studies that investigated the effects of acupressure on sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and agitation in older people, and to describe the acupressure procedures and techniques applied in the included studies. Methods: A literature search was conducted using electronic databases including CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. The inclusion criteria for the review were studies examining the effect of acupressure in older people aged 60¿years and above, measured the outcomes for sleep quality, depression, anxiety or agitation, applied body acupressure, and published in English language. The exclusion criteria were studies using auricular acupoints only, and articles published in any language other than English. Methodological quality of studies was assessed using the critical appraised tools developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The information about study design, findings, and description of acupressure intervention were extracted, summarized, and synthesized. Results: A total of 255 articles were identified from the search and as well one article from cross-references. From there, a total of 19 studies were included in this review. Nine studies consistently showed positive effects of acupressure on sleep quality, and four studies consistently showed that acupressure reduced depression. The outcomes of acupressure on anxiety and agitation showed inconsistent findings, in which three studies measured anxiety and five studies measured agitation. There was also variation of acupressure techniques applied in the reviewed studies. Conclusion: This review found some emerging evidences that acupressure can be beneficial for older people who suffer from sleep problems and depression. Use of specific acupressure points, with standardized acupressure treatment protocols, may improve sleep quality and possibly psychological wellbeing of older people. Future research with well-designed mixed method studies are required to produce stronger evidence, as well as in-depth understanding of acupressure intervention in aged care context.

[more] Complementary and Alternative Medicine/Therapies (CAM) options have increasingly been used by pregnant women, however literature describing midwives¿ views and beliefs towards CAM is sparse. This study aimed to investigate Australian midwives¿ views and beliefs about CAM. Methods: A national survey of Australian College of Midwives midwife members (n = 3552) (UTSHREC 2015000614) included questions on midwives¿ views and support of CAM, and beliefs using a validated CAM Health Belief Questionnaire (CHBQ). Results: The response rate was 16%. Most respondents believed women should have the right to choose CAM (93.3%); and didn't view CAM a threat to public health (91.7%). Nearly half (49.5%) believed that their hospital/service did not have guidelines/procedures on CAM. The CHBQ mean score was 45.43 (SD9.98). Conclusion: Most respondents agreed with the fundamental beliefs of CAM. This study confirms the need for a national CAM policy for midwives; and research on midwives¿ CAM training.

Literature describing CAM and self-help options midwives recommend to women experiencing a post-date pregnancy is sparse. This study aimed to investigate if Australian midwives¿ personal CAM use impacts on discussions and recommendations of CAM/Self-help strategies. Methodology/design: A survey of a national midwifery association midwifery members (n = 3,552) was undertaken at a midwifery conference (October 2015) and via e-bulletins (November 2015¿March 2016). The self-administered survey included questions on what self-help and CAM strategies midwives discuss and recommend to women with a post-date pregnancy, midwives¿ confidence levels on discussing or recommending CAM, midwives¿ own personal use of CAM. Findings: A total of 571 registered midwives completed the survey (16%). Demographics (age, years as a midwife, state of residence) reflected Australian midwives and the midwifery association membership. Most respondents discuss (91.2%) and recommend (88.6%) self-help/CAM strategies to women with a post-date pregnancy. The top five CAM recommended were Acupuncture (65.7%), Acupressure (58.1%), Raspberry Leaf (52.5%), Massage (38.9%) and Hypnosis/Calmbirthing/Hypnobirthing (35.7%). Midwives were more likely to discuss strategies if they personally used CAM (p <.001), were younger (p <.001) or had worked less years as midwives (p =.004). Midwives were more likely to recommend strategies if they used CAM in their own pregnancies (p =.001). Conclusion: Midwives¿ personal use of CAM influenced their discussions and recommendations of CAM/self-help strategies to women experiencing a post-date pregnancy. This study has implications for inclusion of CAM in midwifery education curricula.
