Maternal Health And American Cultural Values - Beyond The Social Determinants

86,11€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book uniquely explores American cultural values as a factor in maternal health. It looks beyond the social determinants of health as primarily contributing to the escalating maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. The United States is an outlier with poor maternal health outcomes and high morbidity/mortality in comparison to other high-resource and many mid-level resource nations. While the social determinants of health identify social and environmental conditions affecting maternal health, they do not answer the broader underlying question of why many American women, in a high-resource environment, experience poor maternal health outcomes. Frequent near-misses, high levels of severe childbearing-related morbidity, and high maternal mortality are comparable to those of lower-resource nations. This book includes contributions from recognized medical and cultural anthropologists, and diverse clinical and public health professionals. The authors examine American patterns of decision-making from the perspectives of intersecting social, cultural, and medical values influencing maternal health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary critical analysis approach, the work draws upon decision-making theory and life course theory. Topics explored include:<ul><li>Cultural values as a basis for decision-making</li><li>Social regard for motherhood</li><li>Immigrants, refugees and undocumented mothers</li><li>Cultural conflicts and maternal autonomy</li><li>Health outcomes among justice-involved mothers</li></ul>Maternal Health and American Cultural Values: Beyond the Social Determinants is an essential resource for clinical and public health practitioners and their students, providing a framework for graduate-level courses in public health, the health sciences, women’s studies, and the social sciences. The book also targets anthropologists, sociologists, and women studies scholars seeking to explain the links between American cultural decision-making and health outcomes. Policy-makers, ethicists, journalists, and advocates for reproductive health justice also would find the text a useful resource.

Maternal Death And Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women Of Mexico And Central America - An Anthropological, Epidemiological, And Biomedical Approach

118,59€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This ambitious sourcebook surveys both the traditional basis for and the present state of indigenous women’s reproductive health in Mexico and Central America. Noted practitioners, specialists, and researchers take an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the multiple barriers for access and care to indigenous women that had been complicated by longstanding gender inequities, poverty, stigmatization, lack of education, war, obstetrical violence, and differences in language and customs, all of which contribute to unnecessary maternal morbidity and mortality. Emphasis is placed on indigenous cultures and folkways—from traditional midwives and birth attendants to indigenous botanical medication and traditional healing and spiritual practices—and how they may effectively coexist with modern biomedical care. Throughout these chapters, the main theme is clear: the rights of indigenous women to culturally respective reproductive health care and a successful pregnancy leading to the birth of healthy children.A sampling of the topics:<ul><li> Motherhood and modernization in a Yucatec village </li><li> Maternal morbidity and mortality in Honduran Miskito communities </li><li> Solitary birth and maternal mortality among the Rarámuri of Northern Mexico</li> Maternal morbidity and mortality in the rural Trifino region of Guatemala<li> The traditional Ngäbe-Buglé midwives of Panama</li><li> Characterizations of maternal death among Mayan women in Yucatan, Mexico</li><li> Unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and unmet need in Guatemala</li></ul>Maternal Death and Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women of Mexico and Central America is designed for anthropologists and other social scientists, physicians, nurses and midwives, public health specialists, epidemiologists, global health workers, international aid organizations and NGOs, governmental agencies, administrators, policy-makers, and others involved in the planning and implementation of maternal and reproductive health care of indigenous women in Mexico and Central America, and possibly other geographical areas.
