Evidence-based care is a well established principle in contemporary
healthcare and a worldwide health care movement. However, despite
the emphasis on promoting evidence-based or effective care without
the unnecessary use of technologies and drugs, intervention rates
in childbirth continue to rise rapidly. This new edition emphasises
the importance of translating evidence into skilful practice. It
updates the evidence around what works best for normal birth,
aspects of which still remain hidden and ignored by some maternity
care professionals. Beginning with the decision about where to have
a baby, through all the phases of labour to the immediate
post-birth period, it systematically details research and other
evidence sources that endorse a low intervention approach. The
second edition: has been expanded with new chapters on Preparation
for Childbirth and Waterbirth highlights where the evidence is
compelling discusses its application where women question its
relevance to them and where the practitioner's expertise leads them
to challenge it gives background and context before discussing the
research to date includes questions for reflection, skills sections
and practice recommendations generated from the evidence. Using
evidence drawn from a variety of sources, Evidence and Skills for
Normal Labour and Birth critiques institutionalised, scientifically
managed birth and endorses a more humane midwifery-led model.
Packed with up-to-date and relevant information, this text will
help all students, practising midwives and doulas keep abreast of
the evidence surrounding normal birth and ensure their practice
takes full advantage of it.
