Cesarean Section Epidemic: Coping Strategies Adopted in Brazil | Stephy publishers

 


Pregnancy and Women’s Health Care International Journal - (PWHCIJ)| Stephy Publishers

Abstract
In this article, we discuss the strategic measures adopted in Brazil to reduce the high rates of cesarean sections. We present specific programs for both public health and supplementary health and for improving maternal and child health. We hope that these governmental initiatives, coupled with a paradigm shift in the Brazilian society regarding childbirth and women's health, will reduce cesarean section rates in the short and medium run, leading to positive outcomes for maternal and children's health and well-being.

Introduction:
Childbirth in a hospital setting seeks to ensure safe healthcare services for women and newborns. The advancement of obstetrics has greatly contributed to prevent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. However, it has increased the intervention rates for both women and newborns, which should otherwise be used in a weighted way and only in special situations. Excessive intervention fails to consider the emotional, human, and cultural aspects involved in the childbirth process. Childbirth care should go beyond the delivery and childbirth process.1 Childbirth should not be treated as a set of medical procedures, but as a physiological process, an important family and cultural event, and a unique moment between mother and baby.2 Providing quality healthcare during delivery and childbirth is vital to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The rate of cesarean sections is an important global indicator for measuring access to obstetric care. In the last decades, cesarean section rates have increased gradually in both developed and developing countries. The determinants of such growth are controversial, but it is believed that the increase is driven largely by cesarean sections without medical indication.3,4 According to Boerma and collaborators, about 29.7 million children in 2015 (or 21.1 percent of the 140.6 million live births in the world) have been birthed by cesarean section. That corresponds to a 12 percent increase of live births in 2000.5 Brazil is the second largest in the world in terms of cesarean section rates, accounting for 55.6 percent of all the live births.

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
