Choices and Support on the Maternity Journey in the UK
Introduction: The number of disabled women, including those with cerebral palsy (CP), experiencing pregnancy and motherhood globally is increasing. This could be attributed to equality legislation, medical advancements (including assistive reproductive technologies), and strong activism and support networks of disabled women raising awareness of their rights and choices. These women, however, continue to face disadvantages and discrimination. Met…
Motherhood, Human Trafficking, and Asylum Seeking
This article aims to illuminate the little-studied phenomenon of asylum-seeking child-bearing women in the UK, survivors of violence and human trafficking. This is a significant issue in terms of the proportion of women affected and the paucity of care and support currently available to them as mother survivors. This study looked to examine the frontline support services of one project to survivor mothers through two collaborating organisations, …
Nature-Based Interventions in the UK
Green prescribing is gaining in popularity internationally for the promotion of mental wellbeing. However, the evidence base is limited, particularly in young pregnant women, a population with known risk factors for anxiety and depression. The aim of this mixed-methods study was to provide insights into the availability, processes, and suitability of nature-based interventions for young pregnant women. First, an online mapping survey of nature-ba…
Evaluation of trained volunteer doula services for disadvantaged women in five areas in England
Disadvantaged childbearing women experience barriers to accessing health and social care services and face greater risk of adverse medical, social and emotional outcomes. Support from doulas (trained lay women) has been identified as a way to improve outcomes; however, in the UK doula support is usually paid-for privately by the individual, limiting access among disadvantaged groups. As part of an independent multi-site evaluation of a volunteer …
Parents’ views on how health professionals should work with them now to get the best for their child in the future
Background Pregnancy and the first years of life are important times for future child well‐being. Early identification of families and children who might be likely to experience poorer outcomes could enable health professionals and parents to work together to promote each child’s well‐being. Little is known about the acceptability and feasibility of such an approach to parents. Objective To investigate parents’ views about how health professional…
Developing evidence‐based recommendations in public health – incorporating the views of practitioners, service users and user representatives
Background Guidance based on a systematic assessment of the evidence base has become a fundamental tool in the cycle of evidence‐based practice and policy internationally. The process of moving from the formal evidence base derived from research studies to the formation and agreement of recommendations is however acknowledged to be problematic, especially in public health; and the involvement of practitioners, service commissioners and service us…
Turning policy into practice
Breastfeeding is increasingly recognized as a health policy priority. To achieve real change in breastfeeding rates, those who advise and support childbearing women need to be appropriately educated and trained so that they do not disrupt breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to conduct a needs analysis about breastfeeding training among a range of people who advise and support breastfeeding women, including breastfeeding women themselves, to …
Developing practice in breastfeeding
This paper reports on an approach to practice development in breastfeeding as part of a national programme of work to address inequalities in maternal and child nutrition. The production and dissemination of evidence and guidelines is necessary but not sufficient on its own to effect change in practice, particularly when dealing with complex public health issues. In the case of breastfeeding, review evidence and national guidance have shown that …
