Delving into the Latest Updates on Universitätsmedizin Rostock with Synapse

Overview

AIMTo understand and interpret the lived experience of newly qualified midwives in their first year in a free standing birth centre caring for women in early labour.BACKGROUNDWomen who present in hospital labour wards in early labour are encouraged by hospital staff to go home. This leaves women to navigate early labour without professional care, leaving them on their own to manage the transition from early to active labour. However, some women request care for this transition.DESIGNThis is a Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology study.METHODSThree unstructured interviews were conducted with 15 newly qualified midwives in their first year working in a free-standing birth centre. This paper focuses on the research participants' lived experience offering care to women in early labour. The study was conducted from 2021-2024.FINDINGSThree themes were revealed in analysis: "Paving the way into labour": Tailoring care to women's needs in early labour; "Perhaps it was intuition.": Experiencing deeper knowing as a newly qualified midwife; and "She locked the door and wouldn't let me in.": Navigating uncomfortable situations in early labour.CONCLUSIONSThe lived experience of newly qualified midwives offering care in early labour shows potential for midwives to build trusting relationships with women in this phase.RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICEPrioritizing relational care over interventions in early labor can enhance trust and confidence between midwives and birthing women, particularly in settings where policies discourage early admissions.ISSUEWomen presenting in hospital labour wards in early labour who are sent home are often discouraged, feeling that their concerns and embodied experiences have not been heard.WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWNWhen labouring women are admitted to hospitals in early labour, they are prone to receive a cascade of interventions.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDSWhen newly qualified midwives began working in free-standing birth centres, they acquired skills and knowledge to accompany women in early labour who requested care. Relational care in early labour builds women's trust in their ability to give birth and does not rely on interventions to augment labour.

Participation in the Clinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. Do Personality Traits Affect the Difference Between the Desire and Experience of Participation? Abstract: Objective: Participation and codetermination are important rights of children and adolescents. The present study examined discrepancies between the desire and experience of participation, their relationship with treatment satisfaction, and which patient-related variables are associated with the reported discrepancies. Method: Forty adolescents from the inpatient unit or the day clinic of the university clinic of Ruppin-Brandenburg answered a questionnaire concerning their desire for and experience of participation. Additionally, we assessed sociodemographic data and personality traits. Results: Patients experienced less participation than desired. The highest discrepancy was found in items concerning communication with family and friends. Two personality traits had significant positive effects on the discrepancy of desired and experienced participation: "suspicious schizotypical" and "loyal-dependent." Conclusion: Minors want more participation than they actually experience. We need flexible concepts, especially concerning communication with family and friends, to reduce the discrepancy between the desire and the experience of participation. Giving patients the possibility to participate and encouraging them to do so should be emphasized, especially with patients with the personality traits "suspicious-schizotypical" and "loyal-dependent."
