Effective Antenatal Education: Strategies Recommended by Expectant and New Parents

Antenatal education is a crucial component of antenatal care, yet practice and research demonstrate that women and men now seek far more than the traditional approach of a birth and parenting program attended in the final weeks of pregnancy. Indeed, women and men participating in this study recommended a range of strategies to be provided during the childbearing year, comparable to a “menu in a restaurant.” Their strategies included three program types: “Hearing Detail and Asking Questions,” “Learning and Discussing,” and “Sharing and Supporting Each Other.” The characteristics of each type of program are identified in this article. The actual learning methods the study participants recommended to be incorporated into the programs were “Time to Catch Up and Focus,” “Seeing and Hearing the Real Experience,” “Practicing,” and “Discovering.”

为了忘却的写作:双雪涛、班宇、郑执创作论

双雪涛、班宇、郑执借助东北下岗潮中的父辈故事,书写了独属于子辈的伤痕。下岗潮后人们由富足坠落,抵达贫穷,此种贫穷因其内含的对比与落差而成为敏感少年心中隐痛的伤痕。三位作家在创作中通过重新梳理过去、发掘父辈的力量与信念、植入真善美的理念三种方式,疗治自我的伤痕。但是自我疗治式的写作也有着写作单一、片面的“副作用”,加之写作动机的消解,三位作家在短暂的创作爆发后不可避免地步入了“沉寂”。
