Title : Global health of babies and children Material Type: printed text Authors: Gennaro, Susan, Author ; Caitlimm, O'Connor, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.132-138 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p.132-138Keywords: Global health. Infant mortality. Neonatal health. World Health Organization. Abstract: Purpose: We provide an overview of the health of neonates, infants, and children around the world. Issues in maximizing neonatal health are examined using the Sustainable Development Goals developed by the United Nations as a framework.
Recommendations: Interventions that can help optimize neonatal, infant, and child health in the future are reviewed, including increasing preventative healthcare (immunizations, malaria prevention, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life), enhancing point-of-care interventions (including umbilical cord care, antenatal corticosteroids if preterm birth is anticipated, and antibiotic therapy), enhancing nutritional interventions (to decrease diarrheal diseases and decrease wasting, stunting, and underweight), and building systems capacity.
Clinical Implications: In an increasingly global world where wars, climate change, civil unrest, and economic uncertainty all influence health, it is important that nurses understand global health problems common for neonates, infants, and children and current recommendations to enhance their health.Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27139 [article] Global health of babies and children [printed text] / Gennaro, Susan, Author ; Caitlimm, O'Connor, Author . - 2017 . - p.132-138.

Title : Global immunizations: health promotion and disease prevention worldwide Material Type: printed text Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.139-145 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p.139-145Keywords: Barriers to immunizations. Global health. Health behavior. Immunization. Abstract: Background: Immunizations are one of the most important health interventions of the 20th century, yet people in many areas of the world do not receive adequate immunizations. Approximately 3 million people worldwide die every year from vaccine-preventable diseases; about half of these deaths are young children and infants. Global travel is more common; diseases that were once localized now can be found in communities around the world.
Problem: Multiple barriers to immunizations have been identified. Healthcare access, cost, and perceptions of safety and trust in healthcare are factors that have depressed global immunization rates.
Interventions: Several global organizations have focused on addressing these barriers as part of their efforts to increase immunization rates. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The World Health Organization, and the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund each have a part of their organization that is concentrated on immunizations.
Clinical Implications: Maternal child nurses worldwide can assist in increasing immunization rates. Nurses can participate in outreach programs to ease the burden of patients and families in accessing immunizations. Nurses can work with local and global organizations to make immunizations more affordable. Nurses can improve trust and knowledge about immunizations in their local communities. Nurses are a powerful influence in the struggle to increase immunization rates, which is a vital aspect of global health promotion and disease prevention.Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27140 [article] Global immunizations: health promotion and disease prevention worldwide [printed text] . - 2017 . - p.139-145.

Title : Honoring motherhood : The meaning of childbirth for tongan women Material Type: printed text Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.146-152 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p.146-152Keywords: Matherhood.Childbrith. Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to describe the meaning of childbirth for Tongan women.
Study Design and Methods: In this qualitative descriptive study, 38 Tongan women, 18 from Tonga and 20 from the United States, who had given birth in the past year were invited to share their perceptions of childbirth. Themes were generated collaboratively by the research team.
Findings: The overarching theme was honoring motherhood; other themes include using strength to facilitate an unmedicated vaginal birth, describing the spiritual dimensions of birth, adhering to cultural practices associated with childbearing, and the influence of the
concept of respect on childbearing.
Implications for Clinical Practice: Understanding the value Tongan women and their families place on motherhood can help nurses to give culturally sensitive nursing care. Tongan beliefs and cultural practices should be respected. Nurses should assess women's personal preferences for their care and advocate for them as needed. Sensitivity to stoicism is important, especially on pain control and patient education. Nurses should be aware of Tongan values regarding modesty and respect, and provide an appropriate care environment. A culturally competent nurse understands the importance of sociocultural influences on women's health beliefs and behaviors and generates appropriate interventions.Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27141 [article] Honoring motherhood : The meaning of childbirth for tongan women [printed text] . - 2017 . - p.146-152.

Title : Use of Traditional Birth Practices by Chinese Women in the United States Material Type: printed text Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.153-159 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p.153-159Keywords: Chinese Women.Traditional Birth Practices.The United State. Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of our study was to explore how foreign-born Chinese women living in California engage in various traditional and American birth practices.
Study Design and Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using a grounded theory approach. Chinese women from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan who had childbirth experiences in the United States were purposively sampled. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 women, with follow-up interviews with 5 women. Interview data were analyzed using grounded theory according to the method of Strauss and Corbin.
Results: There are many traditional practices for pregnancy and childbirth. Women investigated the traditions through various means, and built their own perspective on each tradition by integrating an evaluation of the Chinese perspective and an evaluation of the American perspective. Women considered several factors in the process of evaluating the Chinese and American perspectives to reach their own integrated perspective on each tradition. These factors included whether or not the tradition made sense to them, how the traditional practice affected their comfort, nature of available options, attitudes of female elders, previous experiences of their peers and themselves, and outcomes of temporary trials of traditional or nontraditional practices.
Clinical Implications: Healthcare providers should respect women's diverse perspectives on traditional practices and encourage flexible arrangements. Including the elder generation in health education may be useful in helping women manage conflicts and to support their decisions.Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27142 [article] Use of Traditional Birth Practices by Chinese Women in the United States [printed text] . - 2017 . - p.153-159.

Title : Challenges to Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration for Teen Mothers Material Type: printed text Authors: Cota-Robles, Sonia, Author ; Pederson, Laura, Author ; Lecroy, Craig Winston, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p. 173-178 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p. 173-178Keywords: Breastfeeding. Teen mother. Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate breastfeeding practices of teen mothers in a pre- and postnatal education and support program.
Study Design and Methods: We studied breastfeeding practices of primarily Hispanic and non-Hispanic White teen mothers who participated in the Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services (TOPS) program, which promoted breastfeeding through prenatal programming and postpartum support. Analyses identified the most common reasons participants had not breastfed and, for those who initiated breastfeeding, the most common reasons they stopped.
Results: Participants (g = 314) reported on whether and for how long they breastfed. Nearly all participants reported initiating breastfeeding but few breastfed to 6 months. For the most part, reasons they reported stopping breastfeeding paralleled those previously reported for adult mothers across the first several months of motherhood.
Clinical Implications: We found that teen mothers can initiate breastfeeding at high rates. Results highlight areas in which teen mothers' knowledge and skills can be supported to promote breastfeeding duration, including pain management and better recognizing infant cues. Our findings expand limited previous research investigating reasons that teen mothers who initiate breastfeeding stop before 6 months.Curricular : BNS Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27195 [article] Challenges to Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration for Teen Mothers [printed text] / Cota-Robles, Sonia, Author ; Pederson, Laura, Author ; Lecroy, Craig Winston, Author . - 2017 . - p. 173-178.

Title : Sleep Quality and Quantity in Low-Income Postpartum Women Material Type: printed text Authors: Doering, Jennifer J., Author ; Goyal, Deepika, Author ; Babler, Elizabeth, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.166-172 Languages : English (eng)
in MCN > Vol.42 No.3 (May-Jun) 2017 [07/11/2017] . - p.166-172Keywords: Sleep.Quality.Quantity.Postpartum Women. Abstract: Purpose: To describe and explore patterns of postpartum sleep, fatigue, and depressive symptoms in low-income urban women.
Study Design and Methods: In this descriptive, exploratory, nonexperimental study, participants were recruited from an inpatient postpartum unit. Subjective measures were completed by 132 participants across five time points. Objective sleep/wake patterns were measured by 72-hour wrist actigraphy at 4 and 8 weeks. Mean sample age was 25 years, high school educated with 3.1 children. Over half the sample reported an annual income less than 50% of the federal poverty level.
Results: Objectively, total nighttime sleep was 5.5 hours (week 4) and 5.4 hours (week 8). Subjectively, 85% met criteria for “poor sleep quality” at week 4, and nearly half were persistently and severely fatigued through 8 weeks postpartum.
Clinical Implications: The majority (65%) of women in this study met the definition of “short sleep duration,” defined as sleeping ≤ 6 hours per night. Adverse effects of this short sleep on physical and mental health as well as safety and functioning, especially within the context of poverty, may be profound. There is an urgent need for further research on sleep in low-income underrepresented women to identify interventions that can improve sleep and fatigue as well as discern the implications of sleep deprivation on the safety and physical and mental health of this population.Curricular : BNS Link for e-copy: ้http://www.lww.com Record link: http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=27196 [article] Sleep Quality and Quantity in Low-Income Postpartum Women [printed text] / Doering, Jennifer J., Author ; Goyal, Deepika, Author ; Babler, Elizabeth, Author . - 2017 . - p.166-172.
