Filter by:The prospective and two-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 82 (41 = control, 41 = music group) mothers who gave birth at term at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Maternity Service between May and December 2023. The music group was listened to Turkish music played for 30 minutes every day for 2 postpartum days. Research data were collected through the "Personal Information Form", "Stein Blues Scale (SDS)" and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). The scales used in the research were evaluated four times: pre-, intermediate, follow-up and post-test. Descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman's correlation analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
One initiative to address communication problems between migrant women not fluent in Swedish and caregivers throughout childbirth is to provide language assistance, cultural interpretation and labour support to the woman through Community Based Doulas (CBDs). CBDs are bilingual women from migrant communities trained by midwives to provide cultural, language and labour support to migrant women throughout their labour and birth. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of community-based doula support for improving the intrapartum care experiences and postnatal wellbeing of Somali-, Tigrinya -, Arabic- and Russian-speaking migrant women giving birth in Stockholm, Sweden. The randomisation ratio will be 1:1; CBD support in addition to standard intrapartum care or standard intrapartum care. Women allocated to receive CBD support in addition to standard intrapartum care (intervention group), will be contacted by a Somali, Arabic-, Russian- or Tigrinya-speaking CBD as appropriate, and arrangements will be made for the doula and the women to meet twice prior to the birth to get to know each other and discuss the woman's wishes regarding support in labour and what the CBD can offer. Each woman will then contact her CBD when she goes into labour and the CBD will attend hospital with her and stay with her throughout labour and birth, in addition to any other support people she may have, such as her partner. Women allocated to the comparison arm of the trial will receive standard intrapartum care as provided at their chosen hospital of birth. The hypothesis is that women randomised to receive CBD support in labour will rate their care for labour and birth more highly and have better emotional wellbeing (lower mean scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) two months after birth than women allocated to standard care.
