After mastering the skills for the basic level, the training will move onto a more advance level at a much later date. The ultrasound skills taught and learnt, should not be regarded as an added burden or responsibility to the already overwhelming duties of the rural midwife, but should be regarded as an empowerment or an added tool on the knowledge and skills of the midwife for better and more efficient, effective management of obstetric mothers and their foetuses. AT THE END OF THE BLUTORM, the midwife should achieve the following knowledge and skills: Know and understand the basic principles of ultrasound technology. Know how to turn-on and set the machine at its required functions. To detect if the foetus is alive or not by observing the heart beat. To detect the number of foetuses. To know the foetal presentation especially in late pregnancy. To locate the site of the placenta. To determine the amniotic fluid or liquor volume, usually by measuring a fluid pocket or the deepest pocket. Know how to take good care and look after the machine and all its attachment parts. SECTIONS OF THE TRAINING Part 1. Introduction and explanation on the Objectives and the Expected Outcomes of the training. Part 2. Practical introduction on the ultrasound machine and doing basic examinations on actual patients. (Ia fa’amanuia Iesū i lau a’oga aua lana galuega.) Preparation & Trainer, Salausa Dr. John Ah Ching with materials provided by Prof. Peter Stone of PSRH(jac1-02/2017) PROTOCOL FOR BASIC LEVEL ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION BY MIDWIFE (BLUTORM PROGRAM – NHS/SMOS) These are protocol guidelines for the rural midwife in performance of the basic level ultrasound examinaons of pregnant mothers in the rural areas. USS Exams should be done under the following recommendaons: 1. For diagnosis of pregnancies especially in the early trimester, by observing a gestaonal sac, +/- a fetal pole, +/- a fetal heart acvity or fetal movements. 2. For finding out if the fetus is alive at any trimester of the pregnancy by observing the fetal heart acvity, posive or not. 3. For finding out the presenng part, the placental site, the liquor volume and a fluid pocket, and the fetal heart acvity in the late trimester, between 34 and 40 weeks gestaon. Any abnormality detected e.g., abnormal fetal lie, low lying placenta or previa, low liquor pocket 2cm or less, no heart acvity seen, the paent must be referred within the next few days (1 to 6 days depending on the urgency) to the doctors’ High Risk Clinic (HRC) at TTM. 4. For evaluaon of suspected postdate pregnancies (40 to 42+ weeks) by doing No.3 above and paying special aenon on the liqour volume and the deepest fluid pocket. (Make sure you exclude the umbilical cord during measurement of the fluid pockets.) If the deepest fluid pocket is 2cm or less, refer the paent urgently to the Obstetrician via a phone call and discuss appropriate arrangements for referral. If phone communicaon fails, refer the paent directly to the Labour & Delivery room at TTM with all appropriate informaon and documentaons. 5. For confirmaon of the fetal presenng part in late trimester (at 34+ weeks of gestaon) especially when the abdominal palpaon is difficult and indecisive as in very obese mothers. If it is an abnormal presentaon, refer to HRC/ TTM within the next few days 6. For diagnosis of suspected mulple pregnancies and make appropriate referral. 7. For idenficaon of the placental site in pregnancies presenng with Antepartum Heamorrhage and make appropriate urgent contact and referral.

It provides a snapshot of the information collected from the Population Questionnaire and some highlights of the Housing Questionnaire. It also provides the final count of the population of Samoa in November 7th 2016 by statistical regions, political districts and villages. Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused.

    DENGUE SEROTYPE 2 OUTBREAK IN SAMOA, 2017/2018. Ministry of Health SITREP nO.9 18th March 2018 Outbreak overview. The situational analysis of the dengue fever outbreak in Samoa as shown in the graph below portrays a continual decrease in the number of cases over the past 10 weeks. The cumulative total as of March 18th is 3,255 with a national attack rate of 16.6 per 1,000 population. Dengue fever continues to spread geographically mostly in the Apia Urban and North West Upolu regions. Majority of those af- fected are 5 - 9 year olds which makes up 31% of the total cases. There has not been any dengue related deaths reported hence the total dengue-related mortality remains at 5. Dengue case definition: An acute fever with any two of the following signs and symptoms: joint & muscle pains; maculo- pappular rash; severe headaches; nausea & vomiting; pains behind the eyes; bleeding and leucopenia. Time: dengue epi-curve Person: age group & sex Sex No of Cases % Female 1570 48% Male 1685 52% Total 3255 100% Control measures continues... SOURCE REDUCTION remains highly recommended for control of mosquito breeding sites during this rainy season. Other usual prevention methods to avoid illness is also advised. An integrated response has seen communities and organizations work with MOH to use chemical spraying in their respective locations. MOH Samoa continues to advocate and implement control measures for mosquito–borne diseases. Grassroots groups involved in vector control are mobilizing the affected communities to actively participate in source reduction and clean-up campaigns. Vector surveillance and control efforts continue.

Seawalls in Samoa: A Look at Their Environmental, Social and Economic Implications Sawyer Lawson Project Advisor: Espen Ronneberg Academic Director: Jackie Fa’asisila S.I.T. Samoa, Spring 2011 Abstract: This study concerns the environmental, economic and social implications of seawalls in Samoa. Information for this study was gathered using a combination of secondary sources and primary sources including interviews, surveys and participant observation. Given the cultural and economic importance of Samoa’s coastline and the fact that seawalls, which already occupy much of Samoa’s coast, are becoming more abundant, it is important to understand the implications of building them. The researcher found that partially due to climate change and sand mining, Samoa’s coastline has become increasingly threatened by erosion and coastal retreat.

    Aleipata Itupa I Luga District Interventions

    Community Integrated Management Plan Aleipata-Itupa I Luga - Upolu Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.

    Umufonotalatalaga Ma Faiā'oga Samoa – Navigating Samoan

    Umufonotalatalaga ma faiā‘oga Samoa – Navigating Samoan teachers’ experiences in classroom behaviour management. by Niusila Faamanatu - Eteuati A thesis submitted to Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Psychology (2020) 1 ABSTRACT This qualitative research study explored Samoan teachers’ experiences of classroom behaviour management in the context of Samoan secondary schools. As Pacific teachers of the 21st century, we are encouraged to be resilient and culturally sustaining, which are aspects of the transformative rethinking process, to ensure an inclusive learning environment that is culturally relevant for all students despite their differences (Koya Vaka’uta, 2016; Nabobo-Baba, 2006; Reynold, 2019; Sanga, 2002; Thaman 2009). Data were collected using a culturally specific Samoan methodological approach termed ‘umufonotalatalaga’ - a deep dialogue in the Samoan way which acknowledges respectful relations. Eight case studies of Samoan teachers, all of whom had been teaching for 5 to 30 years in colleges and secondary schools around the country, offered insight into teachers’ worldviews of their classroom teaching experiences. Adapting Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) socio ecological systems theory as a theoretical framework, the study investigated how the multifaceted currents of Samoan cultural practices guided the teachers’ experiences of classroom behaviour management. The findings revealed that participants strongly valued the Samoan culture, spirituality, tupu’aga (heritage) and faasinomaga (identity) as positive and empowering factors in which to situate CBM. The findings allowed the researcher to create a new model termed ‘matāmatagi’ – the centre of the wind – which provides a foundation for culturally sustaining pedagogies. The model could be used as a restorative cultural approach to mediate individual Samoan teacher/student experiences of classroom behaviour and management.
