Delivery of perinatal mental health services in India, and the National Nursing and Midwifery Commission Act, 2023: The connotations
Background
The WHO recently recommended regular screening of postnatal depression and anxiety, and delivery of treatment interventions, which can be competently undertaken by non-specialist health workers as well. In India, the National Nursing and Midwifery Commission (NNMC) Act, 2023 has been recently enforced to regulate, and maintain standards of education, and services prescribed for nursing and midwifery professionals, and the development and adoption of scientific advancements in healthcare models.
Aim
To understand if delivery of perinatal mental health (PMH) services in the context of provisions of the NNMC Act, 2023 can be feasibly undertaken by nursing and midwifery personnel in India, and which group of the personnel can feasibly deliver the same.
Methods
Normative Juridical method was used to identify the provisions of the NNMC Act relating to nursing and midwifery personnel, and a comparative interpretative method was utilized to analyze the feasibility of delivery of PHM services by these personnel.
Results
The NNMC Act, 2023 expansively differentiates between nursing, and midwifery, and provides for different cadres under the nursing, and midwifery groups of personnel. The Nurse Practitioner in Midwifery (NPM) can most optimally deliver PMH services, and in their absence, Midwifery Professionals can undertake the task through an integrated approach. However, an acute shortage of nursing and midwifery personnel exists at the nationwide level.
Conclusion
The NNMC Act, 2023 can facilitate the delivery of PMH services but the number of available human resources must be increased, and the existing healthcare personnel must be sufficiently trained.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
