Tender and demand of midwifery services in the female population
GAŠPARÍKOVÁ, Renata
The subject of this bachelor´s thesis is the offer and the demand for services of midwives in the female population. The theoretical part focuses on the competencies and the role of midwives in the care of women at every stage of their lives. There were set two goals to working out this thesis. Objective 1: Determine what is the demand for midwifery services to women. Objective 2: Determine what is the offer of services of midwives for women. For research survey, the quantitative and qualitative method of research was selected. In the quantitative research, there was chosen the questionnaire method specified for women of reproductive age 15-45 and for women in menopause aged 46-70. Hypothesis 1 ?Women are interested in psycho-prophylactic preparation for childbirth? has been confirmed. Hypothesis 2 ?Women are interested in visiting service in the puerperium? has also been confirmed, but Hypothesis 3 ?Women seek midwives services in the menopausal period? has not been confirmed. In the qualitative research, there was used the technique of nonstandardized interview. The research group consisted of three private midwives and three midwives working in private gynecological surgeries. The research question No. 1 ?Do the midwives offer services to clients across the full range of care?? was replied by private midwives that they provide mainly only antenatal education for pregnant women and counseling in the postpartum period. Midwives in private offices provide minimal services to women, only when they have time they offer advice to women during menopause. By the research question No. 2 ?Is there a difference between services of private midwives and midwives working in gynecological surgeries??, there was found out that private midwives focus only on pregnant women and women during the postpartum period. Midwives in private offices mostly assist to doctors, they have no time for other activities. By mapping the situation there was found only low foreknowledge about the offer and demand for services of midwives. To increase the awareness there will be used an educational campaign by information leaflets.
