WELCOME / BIENVENUE

Welcome to the 13th Annual
Conference of the
Canadian Association of
Midwives / Association
canadienne des sages-femmes!
On behalf of the CAM/ACSF
Board of Directors, I am delighted
to welcome so many midwives,
maternity care professionals and
students from across the country
in our nation’s capital. This year’s
conference program promises
interesting topics, thought provoking issues, inspiring
speakers, a fabulous social event and, of course, dancing!
The theme of the 2013 CAM Conference is A Midwife for Every
Woman. As you enjoy the activities of the next three days,
we invite you to let your imagination be inspired - envision a
Canada where every woman who wants a midwife has access
to one in her own community! Share your vision and ideas
with us by writing them down on the suggestion cards located
throughout the conference venue. CAM/ACSF will soon be
updating the association’s Strategic Directions and Goals and
we need to hear from you, the members.
Here, in Ottawa, we have a unique opportunity to turn the
eyes of our country’s leadership toward midwives and the
importance of midwifery services in the delivery of primary
health care to women and newborns in every province and
territory throughout Canada. Our opening night will feature a
VIP lounge where visiting Members of Parliament will be able
to meet with midwives from their riding. Key political figures
have been invited to speak at the opening ceremony, and
they will also hear midwifery keynote speakers describe the
very reasons that midwives are vital for health care delivery
in Canada and globally. Throughout the conference, your
CAM/ACSF Executive members will be taking advantage of
opportunities and political engagements to address important
issues and raise the profile of midwifery at a national level.
What can you do to help? Speak with your MP, help us achieve
a record number of midwives present at Opening Night and
join us to make sure the voices of midwives are heard in every
corner of Canada!
Thank you for joining us here in Ottawa. Please enjoy the
conference program as well as the opportunity to reconnect
with old friends and meet new friends and colleagues from
across the country. I look forward to meeting each and every
one of you over the next few days!
Au nom de l’Association canadienne des sages-femmes, c’est
Bienvenue au 13e Congrès annuel de l’Association canadienne
des sages-femmes/ Canadian Association of Midwives!
Au nom des membres du conseil d’administration de l’ACSF,
c’est avec un grand plaisir que je souhaite la bienvenue à tant
de sages-femmes, de professionnels de la santé maternelle
et d’étudiantes venues des quatre coins du pays à la Capitale
Nationale. Cette année, le programme du congrès annonce
des sujets plus passionnants que jamais, des enjeux portant
à réflexion, des conférenciers inspirants, une activité sociale
fantastique et bien sûr, l’occasion de danser toute la soirée!
Le thème du Congrès 2013 de l’ACSF est Une sage-femme
pour chaque femme. Tandis que vous prenez part aux activités
durant les trois prochains jours, nous vous invitons à laisser
votre imagination prendre son envol et rêver à un Canada
où chaque femme qui souhaiterait profiter des soins d’une
sage-femme pourrait avoir accès à celle-ci au sein de sa
communauté. Partagez votre vision et vos idées avec nous
en les laissant à notre attention dans les boîtes à suggestions
disposées un peu partout dans les salles de conférence.
L’ACSF procèdera bientôt à une mise à jour des Objectifs et
orientations stratégiques de l’Association et, pour ce faire, nous
avons besoin d’entendre la voix de nos membres.
Notre présence à Ottawa représente une occasion unique
de nous faire entendre des leaders canadiens et de leur faire
prendre conscience de l’importance de la pratique sagefemme dans la prestation de soins de santé primaire offerts
aux femmes et aux nouveau-nés dans chaque province et
chaque territoire, partout au pays. Dans le cadre de notre soirée
d’ouverture, députés et sages-femmes des circonscriptions
associées pourront d’ailleurs se rencontrer au salon VIP
monté pour l’occasion. Des personnalités politiques clés ont
été invitées à prendre la parole au cours de la cérémonie
d’ouverture. Ces dernières auront en outre la chance d’écouter
les premiers conférenciers exposer les raisons pour lesquelles
les sages-femmes jouent un rôle crucial dans la prestation des
soins de santé au Canada et partout dans le monde. Pendant
toute la durée du congrès, la direction de l’ACSF profitera de
diverses occasions et rendez-vous politiques pour discuter
d’enjeux importants et braquer les projecteurs sur la pratique
sage-femme sur le plan national. Que pouvez-vous faire pour
donner un coup de main? Parlez à votre député, aidez-nous à
battre le record du nombre de sages-femmes présentes à la
soirée d’ouverture et joignez-vous à nous pour que les voix des
sages-femmes résonnent partout au pays!
Nous vous remercions d’avoir accepté notre invitation à
vous joindre à nous ici, à Ottawa, et nous espérons que vous
apprécierez le programme du congrès. Profitez de votre séjour
pour retrouver vos amis et collègues de partout au pays. Pour
ma part, j’ai déjà hâte de rencontrer chacun d’entre vous dans
les prochains jours.

Flora Health & Salus Haus
www.florahealth.com
Why do so many of us constantly feel tired or fatigued? Perhaps the reason is
iron deficiency, the most prevalent nutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron deficiency
is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation
and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron
deficient.
Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the
iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss. The elderly are also at risk
because they no longer absorb iron from foods as efficiently as when they were
younger. Vegetarians and those who eat little or no red meat may also be iron
deficient. Endurance athletes and those who exercise regularly lose iron through
perspiration, putting them at risk for deficiency and decreased endurance.
Floravit® is a yeast-free, gluten-free liquid iron supplement that is specially
formulated for easy absorption and assimilation. In fact, over 98% of the iron
is available for quick potential absorption. The daily use of Floravit® helps
normalize low iron levels to boost energy, vitality and optimal health. Floravit® is
especially important before and during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding.
Pourquoi sommes-nous si nombreuses à nous sentir constamment fatiguées ou
épuisées ? C’est peut-être parce que nous avons une carence en fer, la carence
nutritive la plus répandue au monde. La carence en fer est la principale cause
de fatigue chez les femmes pendant la période qui s’étend de l’apparition des
règles jusqu’à la ménopause. On estime que 26 % des femmes qui ont leurs
menstruations ont une carence en fer.
Les femmes en âge de procréer et les adolescentes doivent régulièrement
remplacer le fer éliminé par la perte de sang qui survient chaque mois. Les
femmes plus âgées sont également à risque car elles n’absorbent plus le fer
contenu dans les aliments aussi bien que lorsqu’elles étaient plus jeunes. Les
végétariens et personnes qui mangent peu ou pas de viande rouge peuvent aussi
souffrir d’une carence en fer. Les athlètes d’endurance et les personnes qui
s’entraînent régulièrement perdent du fer par la transpiration, ce qui peut causer
un manque et réduire leur endurance.
Floravit® est un supplément de fer liquide sans levure et sans gluten
spécialement formulé pour être facilement absorbé et assimilé. En fait, plus
de 98 % du fer est disponible pour une absorption potentielle rapide. L’usage
quotidien de Floravit® aide à normaliser les faibles niveaux de fer, redonne
de l’énergie et de la vitalité et optimise votre santé. Il est particulièrement
recommandé de prendre Floravit® avant et pendant la grossesse et pendant
l’allaitement.

Aiken Medical Supplies Inc.
www.uriaid.com
Aiken Medical Supplies is located in Milton , Ontario. We are a small, female
owned and operating since 1997. We manufacture a Canadian made Female
Urine Collection Aid: Uri-Aid. The Uri-Aid is a patented, anatomically designed
funnel that screws onto a 90 mL standard urine collection container. The
Uri-Aid eliminates spillage and contamination of the urine sample, hands and
surroundings. As a unit it becomes leak-proof and it can hold up to 200mL of
urine, any excess can be poured out. Once the urine sample has been collected
the lid is then applied and the sample is ready for safe, sanitary handling and
transport. As you probably know, women have difficulty when collecting urine
samples in the small container provided by the lab. Presently this causes spillage
on the hands, container and surroundings, women are faced with the unpleasant
task of cleaning after themselves and others. Although all women can benefit
from using the Uri-Aid, it is particularly useful when assisting the elderly, the
infirm, children and during pregnancy.

Midwifery and quality care: the story of
the Lancet Series on Midwifery
This presentation will describe the forthcoming Lancet Series
on Midwifery. This series is the result of work by a group of
35 co-authors from five continents. It brings together evidence
from systematic reviews and meta-syntheses, statistical
modelling, and country-level case studies to examine the global
impact of midwifery on the survival, health, and well-being
of women and infants. The history of the development of
the series will be presented, along with preliminary findings,
including an evidence-based framework for quality maternity
care that can inform planning and evaluation of care provision
in all settings. Please note: this presentation contains prepublication material, and it is requested that you do not
disseminate the findings presented.

La profession de sage-femme et la qualité des soins :
l’histoire de la série Lancet sur la pratique sage-femme
Cette communication nous informera sur la future
publication des « Lancet Series on Midwifery », une série
de documents qui résulte de la collaboration de 35 auteurs
en provenance de cinq continents. Ces publications mettront
en lumière les preuves issues de revues systématiques
et de méta-synthèses, de modélisations statistiques ainsi
que d’études de cas de certains pays qui illustrent l’impact
de la pratique sage-femme sur la survie, la santé et le
bien-être des femmes et de leurs nourrissons au niveau
planétaire. L’histoire de l’élaboration de cette série sera
partagée en même temps que les trouvailles préliminaires,
y compris un cadre théorique fondé sur les preuves visant
à assurer des soins de maternité de qualité et à faciliter la
planification et l’évaluation de la fourniture des soins dans
tous les milieux de pratique. Veuillez noter qu’au cours de

Defining Normal Birth
A multiplicity of “normal birth statements” exist but often
have contradictory meanings and serve different purposes.
It is important to explore the implications for midwives in
this move to define and use categories of normal pregnancy
and birth and consider how they may enhance or hinder our
clinical and professional goals.
Définir l’accouchement normal
De nombreux “énoncés de principe sur l’accouchement
normal” circulent actuellement mais souvent les définitions
sont contradictoires et ces énoncés visent des buts
différents. Il est essentiel d’explorer les implications, pour
les sages-femmes, de cette recherche de définition et
d’utilisation de catégories relatives à l’accouchement normal
et d’évaluer comment ces énoncés peuvent améliorer ou
entraver nos buts cliniques et professionnels.

Perspectives on mothers and midwives:
who’s choosing a midwife?
After an initial examination of contextual differences in
maternity care between the US and Canada, the presentation
will examine both U.S. national birth certificate data and the
results of a series of national surveys of mothers entitled
Listening to Mothers to examine trends in the characteristics
and attitudes of mothers who choose a midwife for prenatal
care and attendance at birth in the US.
Perspectives sur les mères et les sages-femmes :
qui choisit une sage-femme ?
Cette pré0sentation portera en premier lieu sur les
différences contextuelles relatives aux soins de maternité
entre les États-Unis et le Canada. Par la suite, nous
examinerons les données tirées des certificats de naissance
aux É.-U. et les résultats d’une série de sondages nationaux
américains intitulés Listening to Mothers (Écoutons les

femmes) afin de cerner les caractéristiques et les attitudes
des mères ayant choisi une sage-femme pour leur suivi de
grossesse et leur accouchement.

A Midwife for Every Woman:
Why Midwifery-Led Research is Key
Support for midwifery care comes from many sources
including client feedback and political awareness. But one of
the most powerful tools to support and evaluate the impact
of midwifery care comes from well-designed research. It
is important for midwives to take leadership roles in the
research process. The panel will address the ways in which
midwife-led research contributes to the conference theme of
a midwife for every woman.

Une sage-femme pour chaque femme : Pourquoi la
recherche menée par les sages-femmes est essentielle
L’appui à la pratique sage-femme vient de plusieurs sources,
mais la recherche reste un des outils les plus puissants pour
appuyer et évaluer l’impact des services sage-femme. Il est
important pour les sages-femmes de prendre des rôles de
chef de file dans le domaine de la recherche. Les panellistes
présenteront les façons que la recherche sage-femme
contribue au thème du congrès : une sage-femme pour
chaque femme.

Social Determinants Inform and Improve Clinical Practice
Social determinants of health are useful as organizing
principles for clinical approaches in midwifery care. Over
many years of experience working with women adversely
affected by lack of income, unstable housing, scarce
nutrition, early life stresses, gender inequities, and racism
we have found clinical work improves when working from
a solid base of understanding of the structural dynamics
of inequity. This workshop focuses on how to integrate a
thorough understanding of the risks, vulnerabilities and
resiliencies with excellence in clinical practice. Three clinical
scenarios will be discussed in detail as examples on how to
practice from this perspective.
Les déterminants sociaux informent et améliorent
la pratique clinique
Les déterminants sociaux de la santé sont utiles en tant
que principes pour l’organisation des approches cliniques
dans le cadre de la pratique sage-femme. Au cours de
nos années d’expérience de travail auprès de femmes qui
sont négativement touchées par le manque de revenu, une
situation de logement instable, un manque de ressources
alimentaires, des facteurs de stress pendant l’enfance,
des iniquités face au genre et du racisme, nous avons
constaté une amélioration de notre travail clinique lorsque
nous travaillons à partir d’une compréhension solide
des dynamiques structurelles de l’iniquité. Cet atelier
vise à montrer les façons d’intégrer cette compréhension
approfondie des risques, des vulnérabilités et des résiliences
à une pratique clinique de qualité. Nous discuterons en détail
de trois études de cas afin d’illustrer comment exercer notre
profession à partir de cette perspective.

Factors Associated with Adolescent Pregnancy,
Psychological Distress and Suicidal Behavior: An
Exploratory Study
Adolescent pregnancy and psychosocial health have
been priorities for both the International Confederation of
Midwives and the World Health Organization. Research
within the Caribbean and Latin America has noted
psychological distress and suicidal behaviors reaching
prevalence of between 13 and 67% amongst pregnant
adolescents (Pinheiro, Coelho, Silva, Quevedo, Souza,
Castelli, Matos, Mollborn, Morningstar & the Jamaican
global School-based Health Survey-2010). This study,
which explores the self-reported perceptions of pregnant
adolescents, seeks to inform policy and practice as it
pertains to adolescent maternity healthcare.
Les facteurs associés à la grossesse, la détresse
psychologique et le comportement suicidaire chez
les adolescentes : une étude exploratoire
Parmi les priorités de la Confédération internationale des
sages-femmes et de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé,
on compte la grossesse et la santé psychosociale durant
l’adolescence. Des recherches effectuées dans les Antilles
et en Amérique latine démontrent que la prévalence de la
détresse psychologique et de comportements suicidaires
chez les adolescentes enceintes se situe entre 13 et 67 %
(Pinheiro, Coelho, Silva, Quevedo, Souza, Castelli,Matos,
Mollborn, Morningstar & The Jamaican global School-based
Health Survey-2010). La présente étude, qui explore les
perceptions rapportées par les adolescentes enceintes,
cherche à informer les décideurs et les cliniciens sur cette
problématique qui touche aux soins de maternité offerts
aux adolescentes.

Fragmentation: Putting the Pieces back together
The work of the midwife, like so much work in the
contemporary world, is being fragmented, broken into its
component parts. While the women themselves may have
come to appreciate the range of specializations, there
are costs both hidden and overt to this challenge to the
‘continuity of care’ model midwifery historically presented.
This paper will draw out the implications of the complicated
web which surrounds, and sometimes entraps, the
birthing woman.
Fragmentation : Remettre les morceaux ensemble
Le travail d’une sage-femme, à l’image du milieu du travail
dans notre monde contemporain, est devenu fragmenté,
décomposé en ses diverses composantes. Même si les
femmes elles-mêmes peuvent apprécier la gamme de
spécialisations, cela entraîne des coûts inhérents cachés et
constitue un défi au modèle de «continuité de soins» offerts
par les sages-femmes tel que présenté historiquement. Cette
présentation mettra en lumière toutes les implications de
cette toile compliquée qui entoure, et parfois prend au piège,
la femme en travail.

Informed Choice and the "Tyranny" of the Brownie Promise
Attending Brownies and swearing in our childhood promises
to “do my best to God and the Queen, to help other people
at all times,” might have had more influence than we know
on how to both fight for our ideals and still fit into status
quo society. This presentation will draw a parallel to the
work of Lord and Lady Baden Powell and the history of the
development of idealist ideologies around which midwifery
was formed in Canada and the UK.

Models of Rural Maternity Care: Barriers and Attributes
of Interprofessional Collaboration with Midwives
Interprofessional collaboration as currently conceptualized
at the policy level does not reflect the reality of relationships
between midwives and other primary care providers in rural
and remote British Columbia. The most significant barriers
to collaboration in our study were (1) inequitable funding
and (2) differences in scopes of practice. Considering
these barriers, we propose alternative models of rural
maternity care involving midwifery developed through
integrated knowledge translation with key stakeholders
and study participants.
Modèles de soins de maternité en zone rurale : les barrières
à une collaboration interprofessionnelle avec des sagesfemmes et revue des particularités de ces modèles
Dans les zones rurales et éloignées de la ColombieBritannique, la collaboration interprofessionnelle élaborée
actuellement au niveau politique ne reflète pas la réalité
des relations entre les sages-femmes et des autres
intervenants de soins de santé primaires. Selon notre
étude, les obstacles les plus importants à une collaboration
sont (1) le financement insuffisant et (2) les différences
entre les champs de pratique. Après avoir considéré ces
obstacles, nous proposons des modèles alternatifs de soins
de maternité pour les régions rurales incluant les services
de sages-femmes grâce à un transfert du savoir intégré aux
intervenants-clés et aux participants à la recherche.

PIIPC Midwives Bring Prenatal Care to Inner City Women
through an Innovative Research Based Collaborative
Care Model
The new Partners in Inner-city Integrated Prenatal Care
(PIIPC) project in Winnipeg is an exciting multidisciplinary
collaborative care model. One of the PIIPC initiatives has
midwives (dubbed ‘PIIPC Gypsies’) providing care to women
who are at risk of inadequate prenatal care. Midwifery care
offered at Healthy Baby / Healthy Start sites is coordinated
with acute care and obstetrical services, and a Pregnancy
Passport and other facilitators are used to decrease the
barriers to care.
Les sages-femmes du PIIPC fournissent des soins prénatals
aux femmes du centre-ville par le biais d’un modèle de
soins collaboratifs innovateur, fondé sur les preuves
Le nouveau projet de partenariat pour des soins prénatals
intégrés dans le centre-ville (PIIPC) de Winnipeg constitue
un modèle stimulant de soins collaboratifs multidisciplinaires.
Une des initiatives du PIIPC est la contribution des sagesfemmes (appelées les « gitanes » du PIIPC) dans la prestation
de soins prénatals à des femmes qui sont à risque de ne
pas recevoir un suivi prénatal adéquat. La coordination des
soins offerts par les sages-femmes aux centres de Bébés en
santé/bon départ (Healthy Start) est assurée par les services
d’obstétrique et de soins actifs. Des outils de facilitation
comme le passeport de grossesse sont utilisés en vue de
réduire les barrières aux soins.

Measures for reducing recourse to avoidable
obstetrics procedures for low-risk women
The Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services
sociaux du Québec (INESSS), along with its obstetrics
partners including midwives, has taken up the issue of
increased obstetrics procedures with a view to formulating
recommendations on procedures that may be avoidable. The
results of the in-depth study of electronic fetal surveillance,
labour inducement and acceleration, Caesareans, epidural
anaesthetic and non-pharmacological methods for pain
management provide encouraging possibilities for action
in order to reduce obstetrics procedures.
Mesures pour diminuer le recours aux interventions
obstétricales évitables pour les femmes à faible risque
L’Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services

partenaires en obstétrique, dont les sages-femmes, sur
la problématique de l’augmentation des interventions
en obstétrique dans la perspective d’émettre des
recommandations sur les interventions qui seraient évitables.
Les résultats de l’étude approfondie de la surveillance fœtale
électronique, du déclenchement et de l’accélération du
travail, de la césarienne ainsi que de l’analgésie péridurale
et les méthodes non pharmacologiques de la gestion de la
douleur fournissent des pistes d’actions encourageantes afin
de réduire les interventions obstétricales.

Efficacy and Safety of Water Immersion to Promote
Maternal Comfort during Labour / Birth: Retrospective
Chart Review
A “Shared Care” project was implemented by physicians,
midwives and community / maternity nurses to meet
maternity needs at an Alberta community health centre.
The majority of women chose to labour and birth in warm
baths to promote their comfort particularly if their birth
was attended by a midwife. Shorter labours and less
pharmaceutical interventions were reported without an
increase in maternal or newborn adverse events.
L’efficacité et la sûreté de l’immersion dans l’eau afin

Des médecins, des sages-femmes et des infirmières
en obstétrique et en santé communautaire ont mis sur
pied un «projet partagé» afin de répondre aux besoins
spécifiques des soins de maternité dans un centre de santé
communautaire de l’Alberta. La plupart des femmes ont
choisi d’utiliser un bain chaud durant leur travail et leur
accouchement comme méthode de confort particulièrement
lorsqu’elles étaient assistées par des sages-femmes. On a
observé une réduction de la durée du travail et du recours
à des interventions pharmaceutiques, sans pour autant
observer une augmentation des issues défavorables chez
les mères ou les nouveau-nés.

Birth and its Meanings: Collaborations in the Creation of
Indigenous Curriculum in Midwifery Education
This paper explores the success and challenges of a project
carried out by the Midwifery Association of Indigenous
Students (MAIS) designed to integrate Indigenous content
and pedagogy into the curriculum of an elective Midwifery
Education Program course Birth and its Meanings at
Ryerson University. The paper reflects on the ways in
which Indigenous content and perspectives are often silent
and invisible in many areas of teaching in the university (in
Midwifery Education as much as elsewhere), and reflects
on the applicability of this project to other midwifery
education settings.

on Alcohol Use and Pregnancy. Given the confusion surrounding
thresholds of alcohol use in pregnant women and women of
child-bearing age, there was a need to reconcile the information
and to provide clear direction to healthcare providers. This
presentation will highlight definitions, consumption statistics,
screening and counseling tools as well as recommendations
from the Alcohol Use and Pregnancy consensus guideline.
La consommation d’alcool durant la grossesse :
quelle est la problématique ?
La Société des obstétriciens et gynécologues du Canada,
qui a dirigé l’élaboration d’un rapport de consensus sur le
dépistage de la consommation d’alcool chez les femmes en
âge de procréer et les femmes enceintes et sa consignation,
a publié une directive clinique de consensus national
sur la consommation d’alcool et la grossesse. En raison
de la confusion observée par la suite au sujet des seuils
de consommation d’alcool pour les femmes enceintes et
les femmes en âge de procréer, il a été jugé nécessaire
de concilier l’information et de fournir des directives
claires aux intervenants de la santé. Cette communication
mettra en lumière les définitions, les statistiques de
consommation, le dépistage et les outils de counselling ainsi
que les recommandations issues de la Directive clinique de
consensus sur la consommation d’alcool et la grossesse.

Development of a Standardized Clinical Outcome Review
Tool for Improving Patient Safety
Our project modified and evaluated a computer application
developed in the UK and adapted it for a Canadian context
to aid in the systematic review of events with the aim of
identifying factors resulting in substandard client care, and
of forming action plans for preventing future adverse events.
The systematic review of adverse events is a key process in
promoting patient safety.

SOGC Guideline for Health Professionals Working
with First Nations, Inuit and Métis
This Guideline was developed in collaboration with the
National Aboriginal Health Organization in order to provide
health professionals in Canada with the knowledge and
tools to provide culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit
and Métis women and through them to their families.
The Aboriginal Health Initiative Committee of the SOGC,
along with select experts in First Nations, Inuit and Métis
health, convened to develop the updated guideline, with a
particular focus on the social determinants of health. The
Guideline includes socio-demographic, cultural and historical
context, clinical tips, case studies and evidence-based
recommendations. Topics covered include: demographics;
social determinants of health; health systems, policies and
services; women’s sexual and reproductive health; maternal
health; mature women’s health; and changing outcomes
through culturally competent care.

d’informer et d’outiller les professionnels de la santé du
Canada pour qu’ils puissent offrir des soins sécuritaires
en concordance avec la culture aux femmes autochtones,
inuites et métis et à travers elles, à toutes leurs familles. Il
y eut entente entre le Comité sur la santé des Autochtones
de la SOGC et une sélection d’experts en santé sélectionnés
parmi les Autochtones, Inuits et Métis pour élaborer une mise
à jour de la directive clinique axée particulièrement sur les
déterminants de la santé. Cette directive clinique présente
le contexte sociodémographique, culturel et historique, des
études de cas, des conseils cliniques et des recommandations
basées sur les preuves. Parmi les sujets traités, on retrouve
les aspects démographiques; les déterminants sociaux de
la santé ; les systèmes, les politiques et les services de
santé; la santé sexuelle et reproductive des femmes; la santé
maternelle; la santé des femmes mûres; et l’observation de

Social Justice as a Core Tenet of Midwifery Care in Canada
This presentation will discuss that social justice has
been a core tenet of midwifery care within Canada and
that it should explicitly be incorporated into midwifery
statements of philosophy. The presenters will discuss their
own experiences on the front lines of providing care to
marginalized women from a variety of different vulnerable
populations. The presentation will open up discussion with
the audience to include perspectives on social justice, care
for marginalized women and some of the challenges and
future possibilities for midwives throughout Canada.
La justice sociale comme principe central
de la pratique sage-femme au Canada
La présentation portera sur le fait que la justice sociale
a toujours été au cœur des soins offerts par les sagesfemmes au Canada et qu’elle devrait être incorporée de façon
explicite dans les principes philosophiques de la profession
sage-femme. Les présentatrices partageront leurs propres
expériences sur le terrain lorsqu’elles dispensent des soins
aux femmes marginalisées issues de populations vulnérables
variées. La discussion sera ensuite ouverte à l’auditoire

study to demonstrate the impacts of invisible policy on
midwives and women.
Les politiques invisibles : ce n’est pas parce que
vous ne les voyez pas qu’elles n’existent pas
Le but de cette allocution est de créer un lien entre les

Can Virtual and Simulated Clerkship Components Improve
Preparation for Live Workplace Experience?
There is an urgent need in Canadian midwifery education
to develop innovative approaches to introduction to and
assessment of competencies which are not clinical
placement dependent, both because of the design based
limitations of these placements and the chronic shortage
of them. This evidence based presentation introduces CAM
members to new virtual and simulation based approaches
to standardizing and improving midwifery education at the
clerkship level.
La simulation et l’apprentissage virtuel durant l’internat :
une partie de la solution en vue d’améliorer la préparation
des étudiantes à l’expérience réelle du milieu du travail ?
Les programmes de formation de sages-femmes au
Canada doivent élaborer de façon urgente de nouvelles
méthodes innovatrices destinées à présenter et à évaluer
les compétences qui ne sont pas dépendantes des stages
cliniques, en raison des limites de conception de ces
stages et du manque chronique de milieux de stages.
Cette allocution fondée sur les recherches présentera aux
membres de l’ACSF de nouvelles méthodes de simulation
et d’apprentissage virtuel qui permettront de standardiser
et d’améliorer la formation des sages-femmes à l’étape de
l’internat.

“Midwifery Model” Decision Support:
Implementing Shared Decision Making in Maternity Care
Shared decision making (SDM) has been called “perfected
informed consent” because it brings together best evidence
with an explicit exploration of the individual’s values,
concerns, and preferences to arrive at the right plan of care.
This session will provide an overview of SDM, examine the
rationale for implementing SDM in maternity care, and explore
implementation models for various types of midwifery practices.
Le soutien décisionnel dans « le modèle de pratique
sage-femme » : instaurer la prise de décision partagée
dans les soins de maternité
On a baptisé la prise de décision partagée (SDM) le
« consentement informé perfectionné » parce qu’elle associe
meilleures preuves et exploration explicite des valeurs
individuelles, préoccupations et préférences pour en arriver
à un plan de soins adéquat. Cette présentation fera un survol
de la prise de décision partagée (SDM), examinera comment
concrétiser son implantation dans les soins de maternité et
explorera divers modèles d’instauration pour les différents
types de pratique sage-femme.

If only your body craved what it really needs.
NPN 02242011
Sending your hubby on a midnight ice cream run may satisfy that immediate craving,
but what your body really needs is iron. Did you know that a woman’s iron requirements
double when pregnant? This could explain why pregnancy has left you feeling so
exhausted. Unless you are craving steak, taking an iron supplement supports your
health and keeps that baby bump growing. This is where Floravit® comes in. It’s the
best-selling iron supplement in North America, and it’s been providing women relief
from iron deficiency symptoms for over 60 years. Floravit® is an easily absorbed,
plant-based, easy on the digestive tract (huge sigh of relief), liquid supplement free
from artificial colours / flavours, parabens and sorbates. We support the occasional
midnight craving run, just be sure to pick up a bottle of Floravit® too!
