Product Description

Product Description

This book will enable health care professionals, particularly midwives, to understand the spectrum of cultural and religious issues that affect the quality of care that they can give to women and their families during child bearing. They are encouraged to reflect on their own attitudes and assumptions and are offered ways of improving their communication skills in this very sensitive area. Research based, the book also draws on interviews conducted specifically for this publication.

In a plural society, everyone involved in providing, planning and managing women's health services requires special skills to meet individual cultural and religious needs. This unique and sensitive book presents down-to-earth, practical and constructive ways of enhancing practice in all areas of women's health care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text for students and qualified staff alike, 10 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book is a wonderful text explaining in some depth the differences in cultures which midwives and other health professionals may come across, thereby giving them some insight into the importance of culture in others' lives. The chapters at the back of the book concentrate on differing religions, and makes very fascinating reading if you are interested in other cultures. Communication is a major part of the book which is important for all caring professions, as a lack of communication with clients and their families may lead to what could be considered substandard/inferior care. A good text for student midwives on the path to their chosen career, but also an invaluable text to be placed on midwives' bookshelves to dip into as and when needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for anyone involved in maternity care, 13 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I have used this book many, many times over the past few years, and have found it extremely helpful, particularly for my community placements. Even if you work in an area with very few clients from ethnic minority backgrounds, this book could help you make all the difference to those women you do encounter. Charlotte Walker, direct entry student midwife
