Study Notes
Unit and Procreative Health
- Unititve Health emphasizes the union between partners, encompassing psychological, emotional, and spiritual bonding.
- Procreative Health highlights the potential for procreation, primarily through sexual activity.
Statistics on Maternal and Child Health
- Statistics involve collecting and interpreting numerical data, useful for reproductive trends and evaluating prenatal care.
- Midwives utilize statistical data for identifying at-risk populations and comparing regional health information.
Definitions by National Centers
- Perinatal Period: Starts at births over 500g and ends 28 days post-birth.
- Birth: Complete expulsion or extraction of a fetus, regardless of umbilical cord or placenta status.
- Birthweight: Weight of a neonate measured immediately after delivery, shown in grams.
- Birth Rate: Number of births per 1000 people annually.
- Fertility Rate: Number of pregnancies per 1000 women of childbearing age.
- Live Birth: An infant that shows signs of life (breathing, heartbeat) post-birth.
- Stillbirth: No signs of life at or after delivery.
- Neonatal Death: Early refers to death within the first 7 days; late refers to death between 7 and 29 days.
Statistical Measures in Maternal and Child Health
- Infant Death: Death of live-born infants up to 12 months.
- Fetal Death Rate: Ratio of fetal deaths (over 500g) to live births, important for assessing maternal health quality.
- Neonatal Death Rate: Deaths per 1000 live births within the first 28 days, known as the neonatal period.
- Majority of neonatal deaths occur within the first week, often due to complications during labor and delivery.
Causes of Neonatal Death (2010)
- Prematurity: 27%
- Asphyxia: 26%
- Infection (sepsis + pneumonia): 10%
- Neonatal tetanus: 2%
- Diarrhea: 2%
Preventive Interventions for Newborns
- Breastfeeding: 13% influence on newborn health.
- Insecticide-treated materials: 7% impact.
- Complementary Feeding: 6%.
- Clean Delivery: 4%.
- Hib Vaccine: 4%.
- Water, Sanitation, Hygiene: 3%.
Perinatal Death Rate
- Counts deaths of fetuses over 500g and those in the first 28 days per 1000 live births.
- Perinatal death rate combines fetal and neonatal death rates, indicating maternal health quality.
Infant Mortality Rate
- Represents deaths per 1000 live births within the first year of life, a crucial measure for overall child health and healthcare quality.
