During this period, children become aware of their bodies and the differences between males and females.

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Area of Science:

Maternal and Child Health
Sociology of Gender
Healthcare Management

Background:

Midwives are crucial for engaging fathers prenatally, promoting equitable parenthood transitions.
Barriers exist that limit midwives' effectiveness in involving fathers.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate barriers and facilitators for midwives in father involvement.
To examine two key practices: father engagement in antenatal/postnatal care and encouraging discussions on work/care division.

Main Methods:

World Café with 12 midwives to identify barriers and facilitators.
Q-methodology with 31 midwives to assess factor importance and viewpoints.

Main Results:

Midwives are motivated by positive parent/infant outcomes but face time, financial, and educational resource barriers.
Two midwife profiles emerged: 'Educationally Constrained' and 'Resource Constrained'.
Encouraging parental discussions on task division requires additional time, finances, training, and materials.

Conclusions:

Overcoming educational and resource barriers is key to increasing father involvement.
Tailored interventions can support midwives in promoting father involvement.
Enhanced father involvement can improve family outcomes and gender equity in caregiving.
