RE: [ozmidwifery] research register?
Hi Jo, You might be interested to know that the College has recently taken steps to set up a library of research and PhD theses on midwifery topics in Australia. We're planning to publish abstracts in each issue of the Journal and have written to all the universities asking them to pass this invitation (to submit their abstract for publication in the Journal) on to students who have completed or are soon to complete their theses. This will help to give an indication of the research being undertaken within research degrees. We're also asking such people to donate a soft bound copy of their thesis to the College so that we can lend out a hard copy to people on request. (looking at option of digital copies too). For information cheers Barb.

RE: [ozmidwifery] research register?
Hi List As an academic, I hate to say that it is quite 'normal' for there to be no coherent collection of research being done etc. It's also a dreadful problem! However midwifery is no different to any other field. Mostly one only knows about things through professional conferences and associations or personal networks. Last June's ARCHI conference for example was a terrific opportunity for finding out about developments across Australia and networking. Maybe ACMI has taken up collecting information but it would still be reliant on people letting them know what researchers, including postgrad students are doing. For anyone's interest, I am working on staff working relationships in maternity care settings. Three projects are at various stages : 1. a pilot study based on interviews across a few public units with managers and senior obstetricians- interesting stuff on the impact of organisational restructuring on midwifery cultures 2. I've now completed an analysis of the working relationships amongst staff involved in the introduction of new team midwifery model in a small rural maternity unit ie team members, other ward-based staff and managers, and local GPs- 3. Study of complex issues in a large tertiary unit undergoing major organisational change: issues of mid/ob knowledge, professional boundary tensions, role of ob trainees, emotional dimensions. etc. A paper from this work will be given at ICM in July. I'm always interested in feedback on the above issues. I will also return later this year to work I started on the historical development of ACMI - it's been on hold for want of funding! Maybe others can post details of other work in progress and a thread can be then available? cheers Kerreen Kerreen Reiger Associate Professor Sociology Program School of Social Sciences La Trobe University Australia 3086 Ph: 61 3 9479 1040 Fax: 613 94792705 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dean Jo Sent: Fri 15/04/2005 9:37 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] research register?

RE: [ozmidwifery] research register?
Thanks Kereen, I am aware that this would be an issue across the board with other professions. I am astonished how there is so much research relevant to maternity that is being done by midwives, doctors, mental health, etc. I am going to make inquiries to the NHMRC to see hat information they have.

Re: [ozmidwifery] research question
One thing that has been effective against this that I have seen. On the initial midwifery assessment form that was devised specifically to meet the needs of the unit the wording says. FHR__ CTG indicated Yes/ No Indication__ Time done Time VMO notified of result___. This means that the person doing it has to justify on paper why they are doing it. Also leaves room to write VMO insistence with no indication which they dont like seeing on paper. Seems to have resolved the issue of routine admission traces and it hasn't been raised again since.

Re: [ozmidwifery] research question
Hi Barb, I agree with what you're saying. I think as midwives we are often caught between a rock and a hard place. We know what the evidence is, and we sign our registration renewals saying we will comply with the ACMI code of practice for midwives (which includes evidence based practice) and then weare restricted by'hospital policy'. I've been toldthat as an employee of an institution we are bound to follow their policies andthat if we don'tthen legally we aren't covered.I guess one way around this sort of thing is to have well informed women who may then refuse to have CTG's etc. Cheers, MichelleB G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a dilemma.

[ozmidwifery] research @ uni
This semester @ uni we're doing a subject called Research in Healthcare (we share it w/ nursing bioscience students). For 1/2 of our mark for the subject, we have to write a research proposal w/ 2 other students. At this stage, we've thought of a question have begun to do a literature review have hit a brick wall! Basically, we haven't found any existing research on our topic. I know that doesn't neccesarily mean our topic is crap, but I don't know if that means if our topic is feasible or not! Just wondering what you all think... whether the topic's feasible, any article suggestions, or anything else that comes to mind. Here's our question: "Do women need a routine VE to confirm they're fully dialated before they are 'allowed' to begin pushing?" or alternatively "Does performing a routine VE to confirm a women's fully dialated before she's 'allowed' to begin pushing reduce maternal /or fetal outcome?" All of the midwives did a routine VE to confirm a women's fully dialated before she's 'allowed' to begin pushing @ the hospital we did our clinicals in. w/ increasing the risk of ascending infection, discomfort for the woman, the need to validate what the woman's body is telling her, etc... it just seemed really unnecessary. Anyway, it's early days, so if this question won't work, we have plenty of time to do something else. Jen Yahoo! Mobile - Check & compose your email via SMS on your Telstra or Vodafone mobile.
Re: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni
Jen, I am not sure how helpful this is, but I personally think that asking this question is valid and would cause a few to stop and think. It would certainly go some way to bringing it home that allowing a mother to go by what her body is telling her rather than when the clock or the care provider tells her. I will ask around with some of my academic contacts to see if there is much around. cheers jo Jo Bainbridgefounding member CARES SAwww.cares-sa.org.au[EMAIL PROTECTED]phone: 08 8388 6918birth with trust, faith love... - Original Message - From: Jen Semple To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 7:02 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni This semester @ uni we're doing a subject called Research in Healthcare (we share it w/ nursing bioscience students).

Re: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni
Jen, What a wonderful research question! As a homebirth midwife I do not routinely do V.E's to confirm full dialtion before "allowing" a woman to push. Many primiparous women do not have V.E's at home and progress without harm,to the birth of their babies. The only time I do a V.E in that situation is when the women is saying that it "really hurts" when she pushes.That is often a signaland means that she isn't yet in 2nd stage or that there is a hand lying alongside the head (not proven until birthing). It shouldn't hurt so badly whenin normal 2nd stage.If I suspect a woman is not really in 2nd stge, I ask her to try and breathe through thecontractions to the best of her ability until the head descends some more. Occasionally there is an "anterior lip". As for "allowing" What does that mean? The woman will push when she has to and no amount of "not allowing" will stop her. Multiparous women at home never have a V.E to 'Prove' full dilation. Why would you? Also there is that lovely "red/purple line" that appears. I think that is a really good guide to full dilation, but I don't always see it. In the research question, are you going to differentiate between Primips or multips? I would suggest just using primips. If it is entrenched behaviour or routine, you might not get the numbers in hospitals so think about involving a homebirth or birthcentre practice. Also, if you haven't already,do your literature search in homebirth/midwives magazines. Midwifery today etc. Love to hear how you are going with it and what you decide. MM

Jen Hi Jen...congrats on a great research topic...my thoughts are that this type of practice is sadly a symptom of our current model of service delivery that fails to offer continuity of carer to women...fragmented care fails to ehance the woman/midiwfe partnership, hence the levels of interventions and distrust in the woman's ability to safely and joyously birth her baby... I would be searching midiwfery data bases for literature, MIDIRS, Midwifery Today etc...I have one resource that may be a starting point...the article is Grant J. (1987) Reassessing Second Stage, Association of Charted Physiotherapists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Journal No. 60 Jan 1987 pp26-30 In. MIDIRS Info pack Number 6. Dec. 1987. Good luck.

Re: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni
Jen, I have to agree with Mary's comments. I believe it is very 'institutional' to not 'allow' a woman to push before we do a VE to ascertain if she is fully dilated. Gosh, who are we! Not only are we setting the woman up for intervention, because many women can be fully and then move into that resting phase before pushing, but we are taking away completely their confidence in their own ability to birth. In units like mine where some of the obstetriciansset the time clock for second stage ie one hour for primi, half hour for multi, then Iam certainly averse to jumping in and doing a VE.Surely as midwives we can observe the body language and hear the change in the woman's sounds. After bumper to bumper contractions, transition stuff and you hear those wonderful 'pushing' noises. Whoa, to me we are on a roll. Why would I want to do a VE! As Mary so aptly states there are times that progress does indicate that we need to do a VE, but let's identify the normal and leave well alone. Sometimes yes, primis can be tricky, but time will tell. My unit is very obstetrical, but I rarely do a VE to establish second stage. Women who are regarded as high risk, have induction of labour, epidurals and other interventions are in a different category of course. You can't always rely on their innate ability to labour and birth because of the interventions and therefore cannot recognise the signs of normal progress so easily. Tew (Safer childbirth) may be of help and the WHO guide to normal birth (1996). A great topic toexplore and I wish you luck.

Re: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni
Valid research questions, although the first one is better worded (IMHO) however, the practice of VE to confirm full dilatation is not universal although if this is the practise that you have witnessed ... As you state there are so many other signs that a Midwife who is astute will note that confirm full dilation has occured- especially if she has been accompanying the woman for some time along her birth journey Alesa Alesa KoziolClinical Midwifery EducatorMelbourne - Original Message - From: Jen Semple To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 7:32 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] research @ uni This semester @ uni we're doing a subject called Research in Healthcare (we share it w/ nursing bioscience students).

Thanks Eileen Dear Eileen Where about are you? I need to know the city you live in. Pehaps one of the IPMs would be able to offer you some support? There are a lot of issues surrounding homebirth practice that need to be addressed.

Re: [ozmidwifery] research information
Dear Jo - it would be worth including chiropractic references in your searches for studies. Anecdotally, I've met several chiro's who encounter c.s. sequalae all the time, especially respiratory disorders which are ongoing into adulthood.
