Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 3

Abstract

Introduction. A Primary Healthcare midwife plans and implements self-reliant, complex obstetric, neonatal and gynaecological care over a beneficiary at the place of the residence. The health benefits are realized based on submitting a written declaration of a chosen Primary Healthcare midwife, who is either employed by a health service provider or self-employed. Objectives. Review which kind of services are carried out by the Primary Healthcare midwife in the area of Lublin. Material and method. The research involved 183 women over the age of 18, patients of family doctor clinics in the city of Lublin. The study was based on a survey using a self designed questionnaire. Results. Very few women (29.51%) use the Primary Healthcare midwife services and the first contact with the midwife is mainly initiated after attending a patronage visit (59.26%). The services of the Primary Healthcare midwife are often used by women age up to 44, more than older (p<0.001). The place of residence is insignificant in this matter (p=0.296). Conclusions. 1. The Primary Healthcare midwife services are used by women in the reproductive age, mainly during the postnatal period in connection with the patronage visit. 2. The Primary Healthcare midwife services in a field of gynaecological care, including the prevention of oncologic diseases are carried out sporadically. 3. The reduction of midwifes activity in the field of gynaecological care for the benefit of the antenatal education and patronage visits can be traced in the faulty system of financing the primary healthcare.
