Prenatal and postnatal care : a person-centered approach

Grace, Karen Trister. (Added Author). Farley, Cindy L. (Added Author). Jeffers, Noelene. (Added Author). Tringali, Tanya. (Added Author).

Summary: "This book both describes and challenges current prenatal and postnatal care practices. Prenatal care visits within the current pathology-centered model of care are brief and focused on testing, legalities, and reimbursement. Too often this approach emphasizes the needs of the provider within the office setting rather than the person's needs during pregnancy. Postnatal care is often limited in scope and connection at a time when the new family needs guidance and support from professionals as well as family members. This is a disservice to clients and their families. Opportunities to promote health and well-being during pregnancy, birth, and beyond are being lost in contemporary practice. These missed opportunities are reflected in the rising maternal mortality rate in the United States"--
