Ready to deliver maternal and newborn care? Health providers’ perceptions of their work context in rural Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Deficiencies in the provision of evidence-based obstetric care are common in low-income countries, including Mozambique. Constraints relate to lack of human and financial resources and weak health systems, however limited resources alone do not explain the variance. Understanding the healthcare context ahead of implementing new interventions can inform the choice of strategies to achieve a successful implementation. The Context Assess…
The development and experience of epidemiological transition theory over four decades
Strong association between earlier abuse and revictimization in youth
Violence victimization in young men and women is often not a single experience. Findings underline the importance of early interventions among previously abused youth
‘Elastic band strategy’
BACKGROUND: Experiencing domestic violence is considered a chronic and stressful life event. A theoretical framework of coping strategies can be used to understand how women deal with domestic violence. Traditional values strongly influenced by religious teachings that interpret men as the leaders of women play an important role in the lives of Javanese women, where women are obliged to obey their husbands. Little is known about how sociocultural…
The Supportive Process for Ending Intimate Partner Violence After Pregnancy
This grounded theory study found that Nicaraguan mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy eventually acted to protect their children and themselves. They experienced ending abuse as an empowerment process characterized by a cognitive change in women's attitudes toward partner abuse and the emergence of help-seeking strategies that lead to ending violence with or without ending the relationship. This process was facilita…
Violence against women in relation to literacy and area of residence in Ethiopia
OBJECTIVE: This study explores violence against women in a low-income setting in relation to residency and literacy. SETTING: The study was conducted within the Butajira Rural Health Programme (a Health and Demographic Surveillance Site), which includes rural and semi-urban settings in south-central Ethiopia. DESIGN: This is a community-based cross-sectional study and is part of the WHO Women's Health and Life Events multi-country study. It inclu…
Keeping Up a Front”
Nine women who had been subjected to severe intimate partner violence during pregnancy narrated their ambiguous and contradictory feelings and the various balancing strategies they used to overcome their complex and difficult situations. Because allowing anyone to come close posed a threat, the women mostly denied the situation and kept up a front to hide the violence from others. Three women disclosed ongoing violence to the midwives, but only o…
Ending Intimate Partner Violence after pregnancy
A considerable proportion of women reported end of violence. This might be related to a favourable change in women's norms and attitudes toward gender roles and violence and a more positive attitude towards interventions from people outside their family to end abuse. Maintaining and improving social resources and decreasing partner control and isolation are key interventions to ending abuse. Abuse inquiring may also play an important role in this…
The Pregnancy Put the Screws On
Qualitative research interviews were conducted with professionals working with men inclined to violence. The aim was to explore professional discourses about intimate partner violence with special reference to gender and to the partner's period of pregnancy. Three major findings are presented. Firstly, the professionals had a rather fixed understanding of opposite gender positions as well as a split picture of the violent man as both weak and tou…
Young adult and middle age mortality in Butajira demographic surveillance site, Ethiopia
A complex pattern of adult mortality prevails, still influenced by war, famine and communicable diseases. Individual factors such as a lack of education, low economic status and social disadvantage all contribute to increased risks of mortality
The Decline in Maternal Mortality in Sweden
The maternal mortality rate in Sweden in the early 20th century was one third that in the United States. This rate was recognized by American visitors as an achievement of Swedish maternity care, in which highly competent midwives attend home deliveries. The 19th century decline in maternal mortality was largely caused by improvements in obstetric care, but was also helped along by the national health strategy of giving midwives and doctors compl…

Nazismen och läkarna i Tyskland och Sverige
Ideas of socialdarwinism and eugenics in combination with German nationalism and antisemitism paved the way for doctors joining the Nazi party, 45 per cent of all German doctors became party members. In the early 20th century Swedish medicine and medical education were much influenced by German basic and clinical sciences as well as German eugenics. Early Swedish officials opposed the antisemitic German policy of "rassenhygien". Few Swedish docto…
Nazism som forskningsobjekt
How is research and teaching on Nazism best conducted? Despite the nearly universal condemnation of an unsanctioned "lecture" by a member of a Swedish Nazi party held at Umeå University in December 1997, a number of complex questions have been raised about the role of the researcher and the research object, as well as about the qualitative difference between conducting thorough-going research into Nazism, past and present, and allowing Nazi ideol…
Excess female mortality in rural Somalia-Is inequality in the household a risk factor
Secular trends of twinning rate in Sweden
The change in parity and maternal age in Sweden accounts for the decline in the twinning rate from the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. The later decline in twinning rate cannot be explained by changes in maternal age and parity. Fecundity appears to be higher in mothers of twins than in other mothers.
Reproductive pattern among women in 19th century Sweden
Among the married female population in rural areas of 19th century Sweden infertility and subfertility were found in 7·5% and 6·1% respectively with increasing incidence during the latter half of the century. In relation to the age group 20–24, fecundity declined by 42% and 92% in the age groups 35–39 and 40–45 respectively. One-third of married women died before age 50. Re-marriages and step-parents were common. Less than half of the married wom…
Reproductive mortality and its relation to different methods of birth control
This report evaluates the decrease in maternal mortality and its relation to family planning methods in Sweden during the years 1911–80. In the 1930s fertility was low but illegal abortions were at a high level and the associated maternal death rate was 18·5 per 1000 women. With the legalization of abortion and the introduction of modern contraceptive methods, the crude reproductive mortality rate in 1965–70 was 1·7 per 100,000 women and this was…
Maternal deaths in medieval sweden
In a medieval population of Stockholm only three cases of maternal deaths were proved out of 330 burials of adult females, and only in one of the cases was a contracted pelvis found. However, life table analysis indicates a shorter life expectancy of females in the reproductive ages. This suggests a higher maternal mortality in the Middle Ages than in the 18th and 19th centuries in Sweden.
