The contributors describe examples of maternity services from both developing countries and wealthy industrialized societies that apply the latest scientific evidence to support and facilitate normal physiological birth; deal appropriately with complications; and generate excellent birth outcomes-including psychological satisfaction for the mother. The book concludes with a description of the ideology that underlies all these working models-known internationally as the midwifery model of care.Maternal health servicesCross-cultural studiesChildbirthCross-cultural studiesLabor (Obstetrics)Cross-cultural studiesMidwiferyCross-cultural studiesaustralia.birth centers.birth models.birth.brazil.canada.developing countries.doctors.family.giving birth.groundbreaking.health.hospitals.japan.maternity care.maternity services.medical.midwifery.model of care.motherhood.mothers.national models.new zealand.normal psychological satisfaction.obstetrical system.philippines.pregnancy.prenatal care.regional models.samoa.scientific evidence.standard of care.united kingdom.united states of america.wealthy industrialized countries.Maternal health servicesChildbirthLabor (Obstetrics)Midwifery362.19/82Davis-Floyd Robbie1143624MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781314203321Birth models that work3672441UNINA
