“…However, North American trials have not shown benefit of support in labour in reducing the frequency of cesarean delivery. 25 Finally, our study offered maternity care in an area previously underserved by providers. It is unclear whether our results are generalizable to areas that are well supplied with maternity care providers.…”

“…To evaluate the effectiveness of professional labour support, a well-designed, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with prognostic stratification by centre and parity was conducted (36). Thirteen Canadian and US hospitals randomized 6915 women to receive either usual care (n = 3461) or continuous labour support by a specially trained nurse (n = 3454).…”

A pproximately 13% of women from diverse cultures will experience postpartum depression (PPD) within the first 12 weeks after childbirth (1). This hidden morbidity has well-documented health consequences for the mother, child, and family. While women who have suffered from PPD are twice as likely to experience future episodes of depression over a 5-year period (2), infants and children are particularly vulnerable. PPD can cause impaired maternal-infant interactions (3) and negative perceptions of infant behaviour (4), which have been linked to attachment insecurity (5,6), Results: Twenty-nine studies that met criteria were examined. These included studies evaluating interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychological debriefing, antenatal classes, intrapartum support, supportive interactions, continuity of care, antenatal identification and notification, early postpartum follow-up, flexible postpartum care, educational strategies, and relaxation with guided imagery. Conclusions:While this review demonstrates that no specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice, many explicit research implications have been highlighted. To further address PPD as a public health problem, it is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use.( Can J Psychiatry 2004;49:526-538) Information on funding and support and author affiliations appears at the end of the article. Clinical Implications· Translating risk-factor research into predictive screening protocols and preventive interventions has met with limited success; complex interactions of biopsychosocial risk factors with individual variations need to be contemplated. · No specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice. · It is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use. Limitation· Descriptive studies were excluded.

“…Avaliações clínicas bem conduzidas têm atestado a eficácia da massagem e da quiropraxia no tratamento da dor da coluna. Na obstetrícia, a massagem pode ser praticada pela parteira, enfermeira ou pelo marido, pois seu efei-to reconfortante na parturiente reduz o consumo de analgé-sico durante o trabalho de parto [44][45][46] . A quiropraxia é a massagem mais efetiva no controle de dor nas costas, estatisticamente a queixa mais comum entre os trabalhadores que não se preocupam com os princípios ergonômicos básicos no seu dia-a-dia.…”

“…Esta massagem antiálgica alternativa não exclui a terapêutica clínico-cirúrgica clássica, pois sua eficácia ainda não está plenamente estabelecida em ensaios clínicos mais rigorosos. Sua prática é aceita nos sistemas de saúde com base numa dupla crença: que o sistema nervoso é o mais importante determinante da saúde; que muitas algias lombares, dorsais, cervicais e da cabeça são causadas por subluxação espinal que responde de modo favorável à manipulação adequada [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] .…”

“…Well-conducted clinical evaluations have confirmed the efficacy of massage and chiropractic in the treatment of back pain. In obstetrics, massage can be performed by the midwife, nurse, or woman's husband because its comforting effect reduces the doses of analgesics during labor [44][45][46] . Chiropractic is the most effective massage to control back pain, the most frequent complaint among workers that do not pay attention to basic ergonomic principles in their daily life.…”
