The client/family centered maternity care study on madam Asare Comfort

Abstract

The client and family Centered Maternity Care study is a systematic approach used in rendering holistic obstetric care to expectant mother and her family. It is necessary as it gives opportunity to student midwife to practice what has been acquired theoretically in the classroom under pregnancy, labour and puerperium. It is based on a thoughtful understanding of the client as a unique individual with specific problems and needs. This care study involves data collection, assessment, identification of problems, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation that will help solve the client's problems. The care is extended to the family and the community in which the client lives. It is therefore contributing to the health of the client, family and the community at large. The family Centered Maternity care study gives the student the opportunity to use the knowledge and skills she has acquired both theoretically and practically during her training period to care for a pregnant woman. As demanded by the noble profession, confidentiality of all information obtained from the client and family is assured to make them feel comfortable and to gain their cooperation. As required by Nurses and Midwifery council (NMC), every final year midwifery student is required to undertake this study as partial fulfillment of the two years’ midwifery training program
