Perinatal nurses can practice trauma-informed care universally and thereby foster and advance person-centered care for all individuals with respect to race, ethnicity, religion, or lived experiences. In this article, we present evidence-based nursing interventions, collectively called REVIVE, that are known to promote principles of trauma-informed care. Taken together, the REVIVE interventions may improve health outcomes and reduce disparities in maternal health outcomes because they are proactive nursing interventions independent of implicit bias. REVIVE is described here and intended for use by individual nurses or health care teams to implement and evaluate in different maternity settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39985,"journal":{"name":"Nursing for Women''s Health","volume":"28 6","pages":"Pages 485-491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves the permanent cessation of ovarian function and is recognized to have occurred when there has been no menstrual cycle for 12 consecutive months without another cause. Vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flushes and night sweats, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, which includes symptoms of vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, and urinary incontinence, are common symptoms of menopause. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and for those interested in treating their symptoms, there are hormonal and nonhormonal options available. Choosing appropriate therapies is based on each individual’s health history and personal preferences. Because menopause can affect mental, physical, and emotional health, it is critical for nurses to recognize the changes that occur in menopause so that they can make appropriate inquiries to elicit symptom information. Nurses play an important role in counseling and supporting individuals through the menopause transition with evidence-based guidance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39985,"journal":{"name":"Nursing for Women''s Health","volume":"28 5","pages":"Pages 381-392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142113130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
