Childbirth Experiences Of Women And Women - 1066 Words

The article, Childbirth Experiences in Australia of Women Born in Turkey, Vietnam, and Australia, was written in order to examine the experiences of childbirth focusing chiefly on the recollection of agony and how it was dealt with (pain relief). The study conducted was to investigate how women from different cultural groups experience giving birth in a large city hospital in Australia. The reason why it was conducted in a metropolitan hospital in Australia is primarily because of migrant women constitute a growing proportion of the childbearing population in many high-income countries hence having the study conducted in Australia. The other reason why this study was conducted was also because approximately 17% women giving birth in Australia were born in non- English speaking countries. That fact is important because these women come from different childbirth practices, and hospital staff in the new country might not be aware of the way these women views and expectations. What set this study apart was the fact that most of the studies did explore migrant women giving birth in a new country but explored this using qualitative methods while as this study used quantitative methods. What is usually found from these studies is that many of the traditional child birthing practices are diminishing or completely abandoned in a new country. Furthermore, language barrier, difficulty in communication and lack of individualized care aid in the diminishing of child birthing practices.Show MoreRelatedMedical Interventions During The Modern World1541 Words   |  7 PagesBefore 1700s, childbirth was primarily a domestic event, attended by midwives and female relatives.
