Supporting Women to Give Birth at Home describes and discusses the
main challenges and issues that midwives and maternity services
encounter when preparing for and attending a home birth. To ensure
that a home birth is a real option for women, midwives need to be
able to believe in a woman's ability to give birth at home and to
promote this birth option, providing evidence-based information
about benefits and risks. This practical guide will help midwives
to have the necessary skills, resources and confidence to support
homebirth. The book includes: the present birth choices a woman has
the implications homebirth has upon midwifery practice how midwives
can prepare and support women and their families the midwife's role
and responsibilities national and local policies, guidelines and
available resources pain management options With a range of recent
home birth case studies brought together in the final chapter, this
accessible text provides a valuable insight into those considering
homebirth. Supporting Women to Give Birth at Home will be of
interest to students studying issues around normal birth and will
be an important resource for clinically based midwives, in
particular community based midwives, home birth midwifery teams,
independent midwives, and all who are interested in homebirth as a
genuine choice.
Mental wellbeing is an integral part of being, and feeling,
healthy, and it is estimated that one in four people will suffer
from some form of mental illness during their lifetime. In spite of
this, it is often overlooked in mainstream healthcare. The overall
aim of this book is to provide knowledge and understanding of how
mental health affects human beings from conception through to
end-of-life, and the challenges that society as a whole has to
address in the treatment of mental health. Beginning with an
exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts, the book
then goes on to discuss mental health care, and mental health
promotion, during pregnancy and early parenthood, childhood,
adolescence and young adulthood, adulthood for both men and women,
and in older people. Containing reflective exercises, the chapters
are designed to provide an easily-accessible and engagingly-written
introduction to mental health. Containing chapters that can be read
and reviewed in isolation, or used as an entire text, Mental Health
Across the Lifespan: A Handbook provides a solid introduction to
mental health for students. The book will also act as a useful
reference for doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, allied
health professionals, and health and social care support workers
who have no specialist mental health training but often work in
partnership with, and care for, people suffering from mental health
issues.
