nÃo hà / Introduction. In Western society, traditionally, the pregnancy experience, education and health of children is part of the tasks that in the sexual division of labor, belongs to the woman. Also in the process of breastfeeding the father is not included. Objective. This study aimed to evaluate interventions in educational practices experienced by couples in the process of breastfeeding having the as a participant. Methodological path. For understanding and description of this phenomenon, the father as a participant in the process of breastfeeding, it was decided to go beyond a situational diagnosis. It was done a research-action considering that the intention has always been dedicated to discuss with the participants of this study, about values, concepts and beliefs culturally assimilated by the society in relation to the process of breastfeeding, and intending to reflect the possible shift in paradigms. Participated eight couples with their children, followed for eight and six months of life. Before the birth, took place four meetings, after the birth of the child, each family was visited daily for ten consecutive days, and, on average, were visited at their residences 20 times in the six months of childÂs life. Conclusions. In search of the literature, we found that publications are still incipient and probably actions involving the father in the process of breastfeeding. This experience shows that the father may be an important ally, true partner, is essential to credit and encouraging their participation. They demonstrate satisfaction in providing care to children, especially when they realize that their initiatives and attempts to hit are valued by the partner and by health professionals. It is realized that are shy and isolated the initiatives to include the father, especially in public services, where they are sometimes regarded visits. Recommendations. Facing these results, it is recommended that fathers should be invited to attend meetings and individual consultations of his partner during prenancy and childbirth. Relevance. It is believed that this study will guide motivations to activeness of the nurse to promote the involvement of fathers in the promotion of breastfeeding at the primary level, pre-natal, secondary and tertiary in maternity, continuing in homes of families through domiciliary visits / IntroduÃÃo. Na sociedade ocidental, tradicionalmente, vivenciar a gestaÃÃo, educaÃÃo e saÃde dos filhos faz parte das tarefas que, na divisÃo sexual do trabalho, cabe à mulher. TambÃm no processo da amamentaÃÃo o pai nÃo à incluÃdo. Objetivo. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar intervenÃÃes de prÃticas educativas vivenciadas por casais no processo da amamentaÃÃo, tendo o pai como partÃcipe. Caminho metodolÃgico. Para compreensÃo e descriÃÃo desde fenÃmeno, o pai como partÃcipe no processo da amamentaÃÃo, decidiu-se ir alÃm de um diagnÃstico situacional. Realizou-se pesquisa-aÃÃo considerando que a pretensÃo sempre esteve voltada para discutir, juntamente com os participantes deste estudo, acerca de valores, conceitos e crenÃas culturalmente assimilados pela sociedade em relaÃÃo ao processo da amamentaÃÃo, pretendendo refletir na possÃvel mudanÃa de paradigmas. Participaram oito casais com seus filhos, acompanhados durante oito e seis meses de vida. Antes do parto, aconteceram quatro encontros; apÃs o nascimento da crianÃa, cada famÃlia foi visitada diariamente por dez dias consecutivos, sendo que, em mÃdia, foram visitadas em suas residÃncias 20 vezes nos seis meses de vida da crianÃa. ConclusÃes. Na busca da literatura, verificou-se que ainda sÃo incipientes publicaÃÃes e provavelmente aÃÃes que envolvam o pai no processo da amamentaÃÃo. Com esta experiÃncia evidencia-se que o pai pode ser um importante aliado, verdadeiro parceiro, sendo indispensÃvel o crÃdito e o estÃmulo a sua participaÃÃo. Eles demonstram satisfaÃÃo em prestar cuidados aos filhos, principalmente quando percebem que suas iniciativas e tentativas de acerto sÃo valorizadas pela companheira e pelos profissionais de saÃde. VÃ-se que sÃo tÃmidas e isoladas as iniciativas de inclusÃo do pai, principalmente nos serviÃos pÃblicos, em que estes sÃo por vezes considerados visitas. RecomendaÃÃes. Diante destes resultados, recomenda-se que os pais devam ser convidados a participar das reuniÃes e consultas individuais de sua companheira no perÃodo gravÃdico e puerperal. RelevÃncia. Acredita-se que este estudo possa nortear motivaÃÃes no sentido de atuaÃÃo efetiva da enfermeira para promover o envolvimento do pai na promoÃÃo da amamentaÃÃo no nÃvel primÃrio, no prÃ-natal, secundÃrio e terciÃrio nas maternidades, continuando nas residÃncias das famÃlias por meio de visitas domiciliÃrias

Introduction and Background The number of incarcerated pregnant women is increasing every day. At the same time, their quality of care is decreasing. From being treated like animals by jail staff to having unqualified staff members instructing them during labor, this has to change. Not only is the safety of the woman at risk, but most importantly her unborn baby. Purpose Statement Incarcerated pregnant women deserve the same healthcare as anyone else. The PICO question addressed in this paper is the following. In incarcerated pregnant women, how does ineffective health maintenance compared with effective health maintenance affect poor outcomes after childbirth? Literature Review CINAHL was used to locate five sources that were published within the last five years. The source had to include the words “childbirth,” “jail,” “prison,” “incarceration,” and “nurse.” If the article did not meet these guidelines they were excluded. One exception to these criteria was one source from 2013. The source was slightly outdated but had valuable data to be explored, so it was included. Findings Incarcerated pregnant women are de-humanized and maltreated every day and nothing is changing. Standards of care have been set in place for organizations, but they are not followed. Evaluation of these organizations and their healthcare is crucial to move forward and better health care for people in incarceration. Conclusions Insufficient research has caused a gap in literature. Limited resources are available to examine an incarcerated pregnant woman’s life and healthcare. Future research is essential to provided adequate care to these women.

Book Summary: While much needs to be done in order to minimize the suicide attempts and suicides of adolescents, the work of Stop Youth Suicide (SYS) campaign and the comprehensive grassroots' approach is showing signs of success in the state of Kentucky. The 2013 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) showed that for the first time, indicators of youth suicide in the state are at or below the national average, where they were previously always above. In the three rural counties where the school systems have partnered with SYS and the Division of Adolescent Medicine in Lexington, there is an actual absence of completed suicides compared to the average of three per year prior to this partnership. In order to maintain and improve that statistic, we must ensure that students do not have easy access to weapons, guns and drugs by ensuring that these items are properly stored in homes where children are present. Kentucky's educators must continue to develop ways to provide safe and supportive school environments. In this book, the authors have gathered presentations from the 2017 Annual Stop Youth Suicide Campaign Conference, which we hope will be of interest and help to the readers.
