A client /family centered maternity care study on madam Amanda Asamoah

Abstract

Client/family centered maternity care study is a systematic way of administering midwifery care to a pregnant woman and her family throughout pregnancy, labor and puerperium. The client and family centered maternity care study also helps the student midwife to use new trends in midwifery like the partogragh which is recommended and tested by the world health organization (WHO) in the management of labor. The active management of third stage of labor was also introduced to limit the occurrences of postpartum hemorrhage. The client/family centered maternity care study helps the student midwife to put into practice the safe motherhood initiative which has been adopted in order to help reduce the maternal mortality among pregnant women to improve the quality of health care through antenatal, labor, and postnatal periods. The client/family centered care study is a required study that every final year student of Registered Midwifery programme is supposed to undertake to satisfy the Nursing and Midwifery Council to help contribute to the award of professional certificate in Registered Midwifery. To achieve these aims, the client, family and the community are involved in the preparation towards the newborn. It is also necessary to establish good rapport, use a holistic care approach so that client‘s problems and minor disorders are solved through education, counseling and early measures taken to prevent complications.
