| Most obstetric violence studies are about pregnancy and birth in middle- and low-income countries where the brutality of the abuse and mistreatment has been more readily recognised as a problem. A new review in the SRHM Journal found that the features of obstetric violence are consistent across the range of high-income countries in this sample.
In this 20 minute podcast episode we hear from the authors of a recent SRHM paper 'Obstetric violence in the United States and other high-income countries: an integrative review'.
Dr. Lorraine Garcia is a Nurse-Scientist and practicing midwife and Dr. Brie Thumm is a certified nurse-midwife and Assistant Professor, both in association with the College of Nursing of the University of Colorado.
We hear about the gap in knowledge that this paper addresses, findings that stood out to the authors personally and where to go from here in addressing obsetric violence in high-income countries.
Obstetric violence is a complex problem that requires information be shared across all academic, professional, and non-academic community partners for success in dismantling and eliminating it.
This integrative review can serve as a summary and starting point for all interested and affected parties who want to stop the problem of obstetric violence in their healthcare systems.
The podcast is produced by SRHM and is available for free on all major platforms including Apple Podcast and Spotify. |
