Prevention improve quality of Life

Prevention as a topic is very important when working in a health career, because we speak of giving knowledge to the population for a healthy life. Health not only affects the individual who tried, but also involves an environment, family and community, and a learning we try to be common knowledge.

With prevention can prevent disease, timely diagnosis and make a more responsible sexual life, that is a topic that involves me 100% as a midwife.

Speaking of my career working primarily with preventive measures I can divide the groups as affecting and so create a better support program, then we have :

• Individual Level: where health professionals, specifically I as a midwife, we give knowledge directly in the query, showing care, caution and care situations to women any stage of life, example, pregnant woman for to live a healthy pregnancy, sexually active women has the necessary information to avoid pregnancy or family planning and menopausal women know what to do and how to live the process.
• Family Level: Help family planning, with conception strategies or contraceptive methods.
• Community Level: Community health plans especially condom use for STI, promotion of diagnostic tests (mammograms and Pap) and and information on diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, cancer, etc. ..

Finally I think that as a midwife is in my hands to deliver the information tools, I only teach to use them people to inform, understand and use them, and so improve the quality of life for all.
