Safe Care

Midwife-led institutions, also called free-standing birth centres, offer birth assistance to women at low risk for complications. Free-standing birth centres, because they are the institutions that provide low intervention birth assistance, also present the possibility to conduct research on the skills and knowledge that are necessary to provide safe care for women who are at low risk for complications desiring an out-of-hospital birth. The aim of this study is to reveal the skills and knowledge necessary to provide care at low intervention births in free-standing birth centres in Germany for midwives post-certification. The theoretical and methodological standpoint of this study is hermeneutic phenomenology. In-depth qualitative methods will be used that are particularly sensitive to the research participants and their social context and allow for complexity, detail and context. The research sites are free-standing birth centres in Germany. Three strands of data will be collected. Each birth centre has its own quality management handbook. From this handbook, the chapter concerning the induction of new midwives will be analysed. Small focus groups will be held in ten birth centres throughout Germany; and data will be collected from 10 to 20 midwives during their induction period at the birth centre. The data collection methods will be open-ended interviews, data capture, journaling and non-participant observation with the new midwives. In-depth data analysis will reveal midwives’ experiences of skill acquisition in free-standing birth centres. The findings will be used to produce key recommendations for training midwives to work in birth centres.

ObjectivesTo estimate the cost-effectiveness of a planned birth in a birth centre compared with alternative planned places of birth for low-risk women. In addition, a distinction has been made between different types of locations and integration profiles of birth centres.DesignEconomic evaluation based on a prospective cohort study.Setting21 Dutch birth centres, 46 hospital locations where midwife-led birth was possible and 110 midwifery practices where home birth was possible.Participants3455 low-risk women under the care of a community midwife at the start of labour in the Netherlands within the study period 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013.Main outcome measuresCosts and health outcomes of birth for different planned places of birth. Healthcare costs were measured from start of labour until 7 days after birth. The health outcomes were assessed by the Optimality Index-NL2015 (OI) and a composite adverse outcomes score.ResultsThe total adjusted mean costs for births planned in a birth centre, in a hospital and at home under the care of a community midwife were €3327, €3330 and €2998, respectively. There was no difference between the score on the OI for women who planned to give birth in a birth centre and that of women who planned to give birth in a hospital. Women who planned to give birth at home had better outcomes on the OI (higher score on the OI).ConclusionsWe found no differences in costs and health outcomes for low-risk women under the care of a community midwife with a planned birth in a birth centre and in a hospital. For nulliparous and multiparous low-risk women, planned birth at home was the most cost-effective option compared with planned birth in a birth centre.

Abstract Background A caesarean section (CS) is a life-saving procedure, reducing perinatal mortality and morbidity, over last decades CS rates are increasing. In 2015 the Robson classification (RC) was introduced by WHO as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates within healthcare facilities and between them. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the most numerous groups according to RC. Methods All women, who delivered by CS from January 2015 to June 2017 in two hospitals in the province of Siena (Italy): I level Birth Centre of Grosseto (GR) and II level Birth Centre of Siena (SI) were included. Age, type of hospital and group based on RC were extracted from Medical Register. The RC divides women into 10 groups based on 5 basic obstetric characteristics (parity, number of foetuses, previous CS, onset of labour, gestational age, foetus presentation). The percentages of the group’s contribution to the overall CS rate were calculated and confronted for two birth centres. All analysis was performed with Stata. Results A total of 2115 women was analysed, 50.5% from SI. Average age was 34.3±5.7; significantly higher for SI (34.7±5.6vs33.9±5.8). Most contributing groups were group V: multiparous, singleton, cephalic, term, with previous CS (24.2%), group II: nulliparous, singleton, cephalic, term, induced labour or CS (24%), group I: nulliparous, singleton, cephalic, term, spontaneous labour (11.45%), group VIII: multiple pregnancy (10.7%) and group X: singleton, cephalic, pre-term (10.4%). Differences for type of birth centre were observed for groups I, II, V and VIII: I and VIII were more numerous in SI, II and V in GR (chi2; p < 0.05). Conclusions The most numerous groups were I, II e V, concordant with literature. Reduction of CS rates in group V could be obtained through lowering of primary CS rates and by promotion of Vaginal Birth After CS. Healthcare professionals could help to reduce labour-related anxiety and elective CS rates. Key messages The most contributing groups to overall caesarean section rates were groups I, II e V, as reported in literature. Reduction of CS rates could be obtained through lowering rates of primary CS, but also by promotion of Vaginal Birth After CS.

Sport Programs

Modified children’s sport programs are intended to increase opportunities for participation, skill acquisition, satisfaction, and enjoyment. Unfortunately, teams in modified programs sometimes consist of more players than can participate at any one time. Barker and Gump’s (1964) manning theory is used to analyze the effects of a modified children’s soccer program that excludes children from game participation by relegating them to the role of substitutes. Participant observation and interviews with coaches, parents, and players were conducted over 2 seasons. Findings are consistent with propositions from manning theory. Children’s teams provide a better social climate, more skill development, and greater enjoyment and satisfaction when teams are not allocated substitutes. These advantages are not reduced, and are sometimes elevated, when teams must sometimes play short handed. Administrative concerns about the potential risks of fielding teams without substitutes are found to be unwarranted, and the presence of substitutes restricts opportunities for youth-sport organizations to attract and retain members. These findings suggest a framework for the design and maintenance of modified children’s sport.

This study aims to describe the motives for tantrum behavior in child X in Jorong X, Solok Regency. This study uses a qualitative case study model. The case study model was chosen because this study focused on individual cases, namely the case of tantrum children. The location of this research was conducted in Jorong X in Solok Regency. The research informants were selected by purposive sampling technique with the consideration that the subject was chosen according to the research objectives. Based on this technique, five informants were obtained. The data collection procedure was carried out in three ways, namely open interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. The data obtained from the collection techniques were analyzed by referring to the Miles and Huberman model which consists of four steps, namely data collection, coding, and sorting of data which are summarized in data reduction, data display, and concluding. Furthermore, guaranteeing the validity of the research data was carried out by using the triangulation technique, namely by combining three data collection methods. The results showed that tantrum behavior characterized by self-harm is a way for child X to make his wishes come true. The emergence of this behavior is supported by the response of parents who are more directing to a permissive pattern to always grant children's requests.
