Objectives: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the access of independent midwives to the technical facilities of a level-1 maternity hospital, with a follow-up of 2 years. The second aim was to evaluate the transfer of clinical responsibility, when a patient stops being managed by the independent midwife to be taken care of by the hospital team.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study including 51 patients. Analysis of maternal and perinatal data.
Results: Of the 51 births, there were 42 vaginal deliveries without intervention (82.35%), 3 instrumental deliveries (5.88%), 6 caesarean sections (11.76%). The midwife-led care was completed in 70.59% of cases. The rate of transfer of clinical responsibility during labor was 25.49%. We conducted a neonatal transfer due to a respiratory distress syndrome.
Discussion And Conclusion: The access to technical support appears as an opportunity for independent midwives to establish a special relationship with their patients. However, this device preserves the possibility of a traditional hospital care when needed. This way, access to the technical support is a safe alternative that has the consent of the users (patients and midwives) as well as of the entire hospital team. Moreover, such device allowed an increase of 5% per year of our obstetrical activity with an estimated increase of 10% per year.

Background: To address the growing demand for psychological treatment, healthcare providers are increasingly utilising low-intensity interventions, characterised by reduced practitioner contact and emphasis on independent patient engagement with therapeutic materials through between-session work (BSW). While BSW is critical for maximising treatment outcomes, patients and practitioners report challenges with its completion. Research identifying factors influencing between-session engagement in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has largely focused on high-intensity CBT, limiting understanding within low-intensity contexts.

School of Nursing and Midwifery, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Globally, haemodialysis is the most frequent type of kidney replacement therapy and necessitates access to the bloodstream either through a native arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft or central venous catheter. Vascular access complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults receiving haemodialysis, and effective vascular access self-management is required.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of educational or behavioural interventions designed to improve self-management of long-term vascular access in adults receiving haemodialysis.

Department of Community Medicine and Family Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
Background: The avoidable causes of infant mortality should be identified, and interventions should be made to improve the infant mortality rate. The cause of infant deaths should be assessed in both medical and social contexts.
Objectives: We aimed to determine the medical causes of infant mortality by verbal autopsy and its determinants in two rural blocks of the Khordha district of Odisha and assess the pathway of care and delay in seeking care for the illness preceding infant death using the three-delay model.
