Biography:

Abstract:
In home nursing practice, we are practicing at a home-visit nursing station. In Japan, the number of home-visit nursing stations has increased in recent years. This is because the length of stay in hospitals has decreased and the number of patients receiving medical treatment at home has increased. The number of nurses working at home-visit nursing stations is scarce and always busy. We interviewed a nurse at a home-visit nursing office who accepted the training to find out what kind of changes the nursing students would have when they came to the training while the work was busy. Unlike hospital training, it is difficult to convey to nursing students the importance of etiquette when visiting the home of a patient who is undergoing medical treatment at home, and the nursing student accompanies the patient who is undergoing medical treatment at home. He told me that it was a stimulus. In addition, the visiting nurse also said that the presence of nursing students provided an opportunity to review her knowledge and skills, leading to better nursing. In the busy work, some nurses hoped that nursing students would choose to work as visiting nurses in the future. It turned out that the visiting nurse who answered the interview was thinking about deepening the learning of nursing students even though he was busy

Abstract:
According to WHO, lack of knowledge is one of the leading causes for women not attending antenatal care. Knowledge and awareness of normal pregnancy and breastfeeding practices is the key to make informed decision during the precious time in women’s life. Offering structured, easy to follow education helps the mothers to be aware of the healthcare trends and available care options, identify variations from normal, seek medical care when needed etc.
Simple and easy to follow course syllabus, Structured training delivery all can help to deliver the right information at the right pace. Virtual care is an innovative platform to provide prenatal and breastfeeding education to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
The process for implementing a virtual care service is simple. Having a website supporting the women to understand the concept and different type of services provided, could be the starting point. Virtual consultations uses the help of digital technologies such as audio and Video consultations to help the woman join the education sessions at the comfort of thier home A secured webiste complying to national and international regulations should be selected and a privacy policy should be communicated in the site.
Providing multiple options or choices of course delivery is a great way to have acceptance from the client. Individual, group sessions, crash courses, academy etc are some options to try, while delivering prenatal education. Importance of reaching out to patients to make them aware of the virtual healthcare possibilities is also very important. It would be an advantage to work in partnership with hospitals, communities and private clinics to increase awareness and encourage mothers to join prenatal classes by explaining the benefits of the session. Involving partners and family members during the classes and counselling sessions also are important to help the women with her decisions and plan during pregnancy, labor and childbirth.
Virtual health care options provide better career opportunities for healthcare staff also; however the staff should have experience and knowledge about international/global recommendations and strategies around maternal and child health.

Method: a systematic literature review regarding the status of homebirth, reasons why women preferred homebirth and socio-demographic determinants of home deliveries were was performed using CINAHL, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and Maternity and Infant Care. Key words and phrases such as home birth, home delivery, childbirth, prevalence, determinants, predictors, women and Ethiopia were included in the search. Results: a total of 10 studies were included in this review. The mean proportion of homebirth were 73.5%. Maternal age, ANC visits, maternal level of education, distance to facilities, previous facility birth were significantly associated with homebirth. Perceived poor quality of service, distant location of facilities, homebirth as customary in the society and perceived normalness of labour were identified as reasons for choosing homebirth. Conclusion: Despite the significance of skilled birth attendants in reducing maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality, unattended homebirth remains high. By identifying and addressing socio-demographic enablers of home deliveries, maternal health service uptake can be improved
