Description
Women's Health Communication explores and shares the stories of women who had a high-risk pregnancy and underwent premature labor or gave birth prematurely. This book discusses how women understand their experiences, cope with trying circumstances, and connect with others. Women's Health Communication provides insight into women's informational and support needs; delves into the range of emotions women experience; and examines how women seek out, avoid, and use the stories they encounter about pregnancy and birth to help them through their own traumatic experiences.
Reviews / Votes
A vivid description of the joys and challenges of high risk pregnancy outcomes. This narrative is well-balanced with data while bringing to life the lived experiences of women and is a must read for all MCH professionals. -- Suruchi Sood, Drexel UniversityMore details
