SUMMARY:22  Hacia una Obstetricia Inclusiva y con Perspectiva de Derechos: El Modelo Social de la Discapacidad en la Salud Sexual y Reproductiva
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:- Botta Flavia Lorena \nFacilitator:- Susana Ku \n[SP] Este trabajo propone una actualización integral de la práctica obstétrica\, centrada en la transición del modelo médico-rehabilitador hacia el modelo social de la discapacidad. Su objetivo principal es garantizar el ejercicio pleno de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos\, bajo la premisa de que la discapacidad es una construcción social y no una condición que deba ser “reparada”. En este marco\, el rol de los y las profesionales de la obstetricia resulta fundamental como agentes de salud de primera línea\, siendo responsables de derribar barreras institucionales\, evitar la infantilización y resguardar la privacidad durante la atención. \nAsimismo\, se describen protocolos clínicos específicos liderados por profesionales de la obstetricia para el manejo de riesgos materno-fetales —como la hiperreflexia autonómica y el parto no reconocido o inadvertido—\, así como la implementación de ajustes razonables mediante herramientas de accesibilidad comunicacional\, tales como pictogramas\, braille y materiales en lectura fácil. \nLa propuesta concluye que la autonomía debe constituir el eje central de la atención gineco-obstétrica: el o la profesional acompaña y orienta\, pero es la persona quien toma las decisiones sobre su propio proyecto de vida\, en consonancia con el principio ético de “Nada sobre nosotros sin nosotros.” \n[EN] This work proposes a comprehensive update to obstetric practice\, centered on the transition from a medical-rehabilitative model to a social model of disability. Its primary aim is to ensure the full exercise of sexual and reproductive rights\, grounded in the understanding that disability is a social construct rather than a condition to be “fixed.” Within this framework\, the role of obstetrics professionals is essential as frontline healthcare providers\, responsible for dismantling institutional barriers\, preventing infantilization\, and safeguarding patient privacy during care. \nAdditionally\, the paper outlines specific clinical protocols led by obstetric professionals for managing maternal–fetal risks—such as autonomic dysreflexia and unrecognized (precipitous or unnoticed) labor—and for implementing reasonable accommodations through accessible communication tools\, including pictograms\, braille\, and easy-to-read formats. \nThe proposal concludes that autonomy must be the cornerstone of gynecological and obstetric care: the obstetric professional guides and advises\, but the individual ultimately makes decisions about their own life project\, in accordance with the ethical principle\, “Nothing about us without us.” \nCheck the time in your location here https://bit.ly/VIDM26-session-22 \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:21 Linking wisdom to professionalism and quality of care in midwifery practice
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:- Celine Lemay \nFacilitator:- Michelle Skaer Therrien \nAbstract:- Background: In a context of technical rationality midwives often experience ethical tensions between two simultaneous injunctions: adopt a standardized care and also give a woman individualized care. After seeing a college of midwives linking wisdom with professionalism there was a need to deepen the understanding of practical wisdom (phronesis) and its place in midwifery practice. Objective: explore how practical wisdom can be learned\, taught\, develop and cultivate particularly in midwifery care. Method: A review of literature was undertaken\, screening electronic databases of scientific papers published between 2000 and 2022. It ends up with 35 texts (articles\, theses and books) from various health disciplines discussing different aspects and issues related to practical wisdom in healthcare. Results: Practical wisdom is a process of using discernment and deliberation in order to decide what is the best action to take for the good of a patient in a context of care. It is pivotal to meet the challenges of complexity. It is developed from experience and can be cultivated by reflective practice. It can be taught by experienced practitioners and the central place of narratives helps students to learn how to make decisions in conditions of uncertainty and develop the ability to make professional judgement. Conclusion: Practical wisdom can honour the ethos of midwifery while enabling midwives to use EBM In all contexts of care. It gives a strong support to reflective practise and is even seen as a mean to flourish as professionals. \nCheck the time in your location here https://bit.ly/VIDM26-session-21 \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp

SUMMARY:05 Analysis of the Effects of Breathing Relaxation\, Foot Massage\, and Lemon Aromatherapy on Pain Intensity During the First Stage of Labor: A Literature Review
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:- Atnesia Ajeng  Wahidin\, & Desta Mutiara Lestari. \nFacilitator: – Rizka Ayu Setyani \nAbstract:- Background: Pain experienced during the first stage of labor is primarily associated with cervical dilation\, uterine contractions\, and transient uterine hypoxia. Despite advances in obstetric care\, labor pain remains a significant clinical concern worldwide. Techniques such as breathing relaxation\, foot massage\, and lemon aromatherapy inhalation have gained attention for their potential analgesic effects during labor. \n Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of breathing relaxation\, foot massage\, and lemon aromatherapy inhalation in reducing pain intensity among women during the first stage of labor. \n Methods: A literature review was conducted using ten peer-reviewed national journal articles retrieved from electronic databases\, including Google Scholar\, Semantic Scholar\, and PubMed. Articles were selected based on relevance to non-pharmacological pain management interventions during the first stage of labor. \n Results: The findings indicate that breathing relaxation techniques effectively reduce pain intensity by decreasing maternal anxiety and stabilizing autonomic nervous system responses. Lemon aromatherapy inhalation was consistently associated with significant reductions in pain scores before and after intervention. Foot massage was also shown to alleviate labor pain by promoting muscle relaxation and enhancing peripheral circulation. \n Conclusion: Breathing relaxation\, lemon aromatherapy inhalation\, and foot massage are effective\, safe\, and feasible non-pharmacological interventions for reducing pain during the first stage of labor. Future studies are recommended to investigate the synergistic effects of combining these interventions to enhance labor pain management outcomes. \nCheck the time in your location here https://bit.ly/VIDM26-session-05 \nRecording TBA \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
