Human Communication Elements of the Continuity of Midwife Carer Newsletter: A Descriptive Case Report.

The Continuity of Midwife Care (CMC) model is an evidence-based care model that positively influences the health and well-being of women, their families, and midwives. Although effective communication strategies have not been determined, online resources are known to reach a wider audience and make CMC research more visible. The newsletter, distributed by the authors, is a strategy to communicate valuable and credible CMC content from knowledge producers to users.

Melatonin reduces brain injury following inflammation-amplified hypoxia-ischemia in a translational newborn piglet study of neonatal encephalopathy.

There is a need to develop therapies for neonatal encephalopathy (NE) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of disease is greatest and therapeutic hypothermia (HT) is not effective. We aimed to assess the efficacy of melatonin following inflammation-amplified hypoxia-ischaemia (IA-HI) in the newborn piglet. The IA-HI model accounts for the contribution of infection/inflammation in this setting and HT is not cytoprotective.

Translation and validation of Vietnamese version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R).

Background: The 10-item Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) is a quick and easy survey instrument recommended by the International Consortium for Health Outcome Measures as the tool of choice for measuring women's birth satisfaction.

Aim: To translate and validate a Vietnamese-language version of the BSS-R.

Method: A quantitative cross-sectional method was used to gather data post translation and back-translation of a Vietnamese version of the BSS-R (VN-BSS-R).

A qualitative descriptive training needs analysis of midwives perceived continuous professional development in providing intranatal respectful maternal care.

Background: The Vietnam midwifery report acknowledges that while health services are available in Vietnam, there is growing need to increase levels of respectful maternal care provided to women in labour.

Objective: In conjunction with newborns Vietnam charity, our objective was to assess the perceived continuous professional development needs of midwives working in Vietnam to inform development of an intranatal respectful maternal care education resource.

Method: A qualitative exploratory descriptive method was used to conduct a training needs analysis, which identified perceived education requirements of midwives in Vietnam in relation to providing respectful maternal care.
