Klappentext zu „A Multidisciplinary Approach to Obstetric Fistula in Africa “
This book applies a multi-disciplinary lens to examine obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury that results from prolonged, obstructed labor. While obstetric fistula can be prevented with emergency obstetric care, it continues to occur primarily in resource-limited settings. In this volume, specialists in the anthropological, psychological, public health, and biomedical disciplines, as well as health policy experts and representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations discuss a scoping overview on obstetric fistula, including prevention, treatment, and reducing stigma for survivors. This comprehensive resource is useful in understanding the risk factors, epidemiology, and social, psychological, and medical effects of obstetric fistula.Topics explored include:
- A Human Rights Approach Toward Eradicating Obstetric Fistula
- Obstetric Fistula: A Case of Miscommunication - Social Experiences of Women with Obstetric Fistula
- Classification of Female Genital Tract Fistulas
- Training and Capacity-Building in the Provision of Fistula Treatment Services
- Designing Preventive Strategies for Obstetric Fistula
- Sexual Function in Women with Obstetric Fistula
- Social and Reproductive Health of Women After Obstetric Fistula Repair
