There are significant racial and ethnic disparities in rates of stillbirth. Rates of stillbirth are highest among non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and non-Hispanic Black women, more than twice the rate of non-Hispanic White women. Stillbirth is a public health crisis that warrants attention as it has significant physical, psychosocial, and economic effects on women and their family. Many stillbirths occur due to placental insufficiency, causing a lack of oxygenation of the fetus, which can result in decreased movement. Pregnant patients who experience stillbirth often observe decreased fetal movement days before birth. Daily fetal movement monitoring has the potential to identify pregnancies at risk so providers can intervene. Count the Kicks is a fetal movement monitoring program that provides standardized education and resources for expectant parents. Increased awareness of providers and childbearing families about the importance of fetal movement monitoring, standardized provision of education on fetal movement counting, and what to do if a baby's normal movement patterns change can be helpful in promoting healthy pregnancy outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"306-313"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11472900/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141560303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new approach to postpartum care is needed. \"Woman-centered\" postpartum care is recommended to improve maternal outcomes, but the concept of woman-centered care is not well-defined. Using Walker & Avant's method of concept analysis, we identified four defining attributes of woman-centered care in the literature: 1) choice, control, and involvement in decision-making ; 2) communication and collaboration in the caregiver-woman relationship ; 3) individualized and holistic care ; and 4) continuity of care . Using these findings, we offer a conceptual definition of woman-centered care and apply the attributes to the postpartum hospitalization in the model and contrary cases. We discuss the potential of the concept to improve maternal health care during this critical period.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"314-323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141621761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
