 Spotlight on Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Midwifery

The library has just acquired several new resources related to this important area of health.  If you would like to borrow any of these books, please drop in, or contact us at the District Library Service.

Gynaecology by Ten Teachers edited by E. Crosbie & L. Kenny

"First published in 1919 as 'Diseases of Women', Gynaecology by Ten Teachers is well established as a concise, yet comprehensive, guide within its field. The 21st Edition has been thoroughly updated by its latest team of 'teachers', integrating clinical material with the latest scientific developments that underpin patient care. Each chapter is highly structured, with learning objectives, definitions, aetiology, clinical features, investigations, treatments and key point summaries and additional reading where appropriate. A key theme for this edition is 'professionalism' and information specific to this is threaded throughout the text." -- Publisher

Obstetrics by Ten Teachers edited by E. Crosby & F. McCarthy

"First published in 1917 as 'Midwifery', Obstetrics by Ten Teachers is well established as a concise, yet comprehensive, guide within its field. The twentieth edition has been thoroughly updated by a new team of 'teachers', integrating clinical material with the latest scientific developments that underpin patient care. Each chapter is highly structured, with learning objectives, definitions, aetiology, clinical features, investigations, treatments, case histories and key point summaries and additional reading where appropriate. New themes for this edition include 'professionalism' and 'global health' and information specific to both areas is threaded throughout the text. Along with its companion Gynaecology by Ten Teachers the book will continue to provide an accessible 'one stop shop' in obstetrics and gynaecology for a new generation of doctors." -- Publisher

Communication in Midwifery : Theory and Practice edited by Tania Staras

"Kind, honest and open communication is at the heart of midwifery care and maternity practice, and is vital in providing safe, person-centred care. This new book explores communication in midwifery from a range of perspectives and across different settings. It considers the theoretical and practical dimensions of communication, including how and why we communicate and who we communicate with. It uses case studies and practical examples to put ideas into real-world context and to explore topic areas in ways which are thought-provoking, accessible and useful to practitioners. Above all, Communication in Midwifery supports midwives in developing their theoretical understanding around communication and building a practical toolkit of ideas and strategies for use in a range of settings and with diverse groups of people. It helps midwives and other caregivers in navigating the nuanced and complex situations they encounter every day where clear, honest and collaborative communication is vital."--Publisher.

Stories in Midwifery : Reflection, Inquiry, Action by Allison Cummins, Katharine Gillet, Karne McLaughlin, Loretta Musgrave and Jessica Wood.

"This insightful book and accompanying video resource present a collection of perspectives relating to different issues around birthing and midwifery. Through the voices of mothers, midwives, students, health professionals and family members, you will build empathy and understanding, reflect, and learn to apply innovative approaches in your own practice. The book covers a range of topics, such as midwifery continuity of care, place of birth, multiple pregnancy, complex pregnancies, congenital birth abnormalities, supporting culturally and linguistically diverse women, anxiety and depression, and working with women with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Stories in midwifery provides teaching and learning strategies ideal for students and practising midwives alike. Readers will develop the skills, attitudes and mindfulness necessary for working in partnership with women, childbearing people and their families across a variety of settings."--Publisher.

Physiology in Childbearing: With Anatomy and Related Biosciences edited by Jean Rankin.

"With its straightforward writing style and extraordinary breadth of content, Physiology in Childbearing is an ideal textbook for students of midwifery wanting to master the physiology of pregnancy, childbirth, the neonate and breastfeeding. This popular book has been fully updated to incorporate new knowledge and guidelines, and has a stronger focus on diversity. It covers basic biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics and fertility, as well as embryology and fetal growth, the physiology of pregnancy, and complications of labour. It then goes on to examine the neonate, infant feeding and bio-behavioural aspects of parenting. The complexities of this fundamental topic area are explained with boxes of key points, full colour diagrams and images, and tips on applying content to practice, making this book a must-have for students and practising midwives alike."--Publisher.

Have you heard of Open Access?

This principle has been gaining traction around the world and is important for all members of the research community whether you are reading, writing or publishing.

As per Open Access Australasia (https://oaaustralasia.org):

Open Access has the aim of reducing barriers to accessing research to ensure that current research is disseminated as widely as possible. This makes access to the most up-to-date information more equitable.

Currently, the District Library Service mostly accesses research for you under copyright and licencing law through the journal subscriptions that we and other libraries hold. It costs a great deal for subscriptions to journals and it does mean that at times we are not able to supply you with an article because its access is too restricted. Other times we do get lucky and find you an article that is available under open access!

To learn more about Open Access and how it is relevant to your work, check out the following links:

• Open Access Australasia
• The Australian Research Council's Open Access Policy
• International Open Access Week
• Deakin University's LibGuide to Open Access - a succinct explainer
• Open access for all: Empowering researchers and communities worldwide (article from SpringerNature)
• Publish OA, support the SDGs: Make your research impactful (article from SpringerNature) - particularly relevant for those who publish their research

New CiAP Specialty Guide: Domestic Violence

 

CiAP has added a new Specialty Guide to its reservoir of resources.  Click here to access.

Domestic Violence in Australia is a sadly growing problem and it is imperative that health staff are across the latest developments, support services and strategies.  CiAP has developed a page linking a multitude of useful sites, articles and search strategies for you to explore.

Some notable inclusions are links to: 

• The BMJ Best Practice Guide to Sexual abuse and assault
• The UpToDate page for Intimate partner violence: Diagnosis and screening
• ChildStory Reporter Community
• NSW Health Domestic Violence Routine Screening Policy Directive
• 1800RESPECT
• MensLine Australia
• Relationships Australia
• Patient Education Handouts
• Relevant Search strategies in various databases
