My ideal job

Hello everyone, in this week I’m talk about my ideal job. Well, in this moment I think that my ideal job when I would graduate like midwifery is assist personalize labour; this is why I began to study midwifery, because I like the action and I would like guide to the pregnants for that they have a successful natural labour, also I don’t have problem whit the shift system.

My ideal job should be in the public system because I don’t like work only by money, but that I would like help to the pregnants whit low economic level for that they have a worthy labour. I would like work in public hospital, but I don’t know if in Santiago or in some region even. If I work in Santiago I would like work in the San José Hospital, in Independencia, because, at present, in that hospital there are lots of problems in the maternity, because in that hospital there are few health professional and there are a lot of people.

The environment in the hospital and overcoat in the delivery room is very hectic and stressful but l like this environment, the adrenalina, running to and fro, etc. But that environment is not good for the pregnants, then, I would like to reassure the environment for them, speaking them with clam, give them security.

Lupita

Lupita was a little child. She lived in a place called candy town. One day she was sleeping when she heard a stronger roar. When she opened her eyes, she saw a lion in her bedroom and she jumped of her bed. She was more frightened than when his father punished him for a bad grade in school. And Lupita began to run around of her bedroom escaping of the lion. She said: “mister lion don’t eat me please, I am not delicious enough, because I don’t eat all food, my mom always scolds me for that”. And the lion opened its mouth and said: “you don’t have fear, I don’t eat human because I am vegetarian. I was lived near of mountain but now there are a lot of people with pistols, they are bad men. And now I am escaping of them”. Lupita became sad, and she approached to lion and said: i help you, follow me”. And both down the staircase until the basement, and lupita said: “you stay here, it is too small, but is the only place where my parent don’t find you”. “Thank you little child, you are a very kind people” said the lion. Suddenly demolished the door of the house, and a lot of people entered to this, they were the hunters!!, Lupita and the lion were very scared and lupita embraced to leon and when opened her eyes she was in her bedroom, on her bed. it was a dream.

Education and Prevention

Hi everyone. In this opportunity I am talk about education and prevention. This topic is very important in our carrier like health professional because during our professional performance we should to educate to the community always. We have educate to user for that they decide by them self about their health.

The objective of education is to promote healthy lifestyle and to prevent the illness.

To understand more about prevention is necessary know some concept:
Risk factors: these are some conducts that if exist increase the probability of have some illness, for example: obesity, sedentary, bad diet, smoke, etc.

We should educate to the people with risk conduct but also we should educate to all the people, including the people healthy.

We like midwife can educate about diverse matter, like sexuality (one of our speciality), treatment, illness, healthy diet, etc. But we also can educate to the community through educational programs. One form of educate to the community is teach them to make programs.

In Chile almost 90% of the people is sedentary, and the majority have bad diet, these are some of principal risk factors of cardiac illness (principal cause of dead in Chile).

Is for that, we like health professional should educate to the people for prevent these illness. In my opinion, the better ways of prevent is encourage to people for have healthy lifestyle, for example: make exercise, have a good diet, don’t smoke, etc.

Gender Role in Health Care

Hello everyone!! This week I’m going to talk about the gender role in Health Care. In the beginning only the women were midwifery, because in those times the people thought that the gestation was topic only for women. But with the time, this way of think has change, is for that, actually there are male midwife, but still they are few. There are more female midwife that male midwife, for example, in my level; there is one man every ten women. In contrast to medicine and kinesiology, when there are more men that women.

In this profession men and women are the same responsibilities, but I don’t know if difference of salaries between women and men. I think that the female patients have preference to the male midwife like the male gynaecologist; they said that the men are more careful that the women.

I think that the men and women have the same opportunity, therefore, both can have a high Professional Development, although, I know only female midwife in position important, for example the director of midwifery school, director of medical center. But in think that this is because there are few male midwife and because I know few midwife.

In Chile exist inequality between women and men, when the women are discriminate, because thy got less salary and they have few position important, but in this profession I think that don’t exist a lot of different between gender about this topic.
