The Mistress Purchase by Penny Jordan
This book offers a comprehensive public health perspective on labor and delivery, examining maternal morbidity and mortality, healthcare equity, and the social determinants that influence childbirth outcomes. It explores labor and delivery care across diverse settings, including midwifery care, intrapartum companionship, and enhanced recovery protocols for cesarean section. A critical focus is placed on interventions to reduce the cesarean rate, particularly operative vaginal delivery, with an in-depth evaluation of forceps and vacuum extraction, as well as an analysis of cesarean delivery in terms of cost, outcomes, and public health implications. The book also addresses respectful maternity care, the impact of cultural beliefs and traditional birth practices, and the challenges of disrespect and abuse in childbirth. By integrating global insights, evidence-based approaches, and behavioral change strategies, this volume is a vital resource for clinicians, public health professionals, and policymakers dedicated to improving maternal health and childbirth experiences worldwide.| SKU | Unavailable |
