Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of supportive care based on trauma informed care during childbirth on perinatal mental health outcomes.
The research will be carried out to determine the effect of mindfulness-based pregnancy education program on stress, fear of childbirth and birth self-efficacy in pregnant women. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of pregnant women who applied to Gaziantep Cengiz Gökçek Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital Pregnancy training class. The sample of the research, on the other hand, was determined by power analysis, at least the number of individuals to be included in the sample of the research. Sample size when power analysis is done; Assuming that the method applied with 5% error level, bidirectional significance level, 95% confidence interval and 80% ability to represent the universe, would reduce the anxiety score averages (30.53±6.49) by 4 points, a total of 84 pregnant women (42 experimental, 42 control) were calculated. Introductory Information Form", "Prenatal Distress Scale (PBL)-Revised Version", "Birth Attitude Scale" and "Birth Self-Efficacy Scale short form" will be used. It is predicted that the research will contribute to the literature in line with its originality and results.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of continuous supportive care (ICSC) at birth on some parameters of maternal psychological well-being.
Aim: The aim of this study to determine the effect of motivational interviews on the perception and self-efficacy of birth in nullipars with a perception of traumatic birth. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a randomized controlled, between November 2019 and November 2020 in the obstetrics outpatient clinics of Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital. In the power analysis, the sample size was calculated as at least 83 pregnant women for each group (83 experiment, 83 control). Data were collected with Descriptive Information Form, Traumatic Childbirth Perceptions Scale (TCPS) and Childbirth of Self-Efficacy Scale-Short From (CBSE). Pregnant women in the experimental group were held with four sessions of motivational interviews one week a part. No intervention was made for the pregnant women in the control group. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t test for dependent and independent groups were used in data analysis
This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with posttest and control group in order to evaluate the effect of the solution focused approach method applied to primigravidas on psychosocial health, fear of childbirth and postnatal security sensations
The factors affecting the rate of primary caesarean section births are complex, and identifying interventions to reduce this rate is challenging. Effective interventions targeting at women are mainly represented by Childbirth training workshops, psychoeducation and psychosocial couple-based programs. Considering non medical interventions targeting mothers, the pattern of breathing during labor that can help for vaginal delivery is a controversial topic. There are no data to support a policy of directed maternal breathing or pushing during vaginal delivery. The abdomino-perineal concept was originally a postpartum rehabilitation technique. Currently, applications are increasing. During labor, expiration channeled by a flow regulator device offers support to women enduring the pain of uterine contractions. During the second stage, the expiratory regulated pushing allows a long, efficient and very intuitive push. The use of this regulated expiratory breathing method was introduced in the study unit in January 2018. Despite a positive experience both reported by women and midwives, investigators have so far only subjective feedback without objective measurable clinical impact. As a result, investigators are conducting this scientific study whose main objective is: - To Evaluate the impact of a regulated expiratory breathing method on childbirth process .
The study is a part of a PhD thesis. The study aims to develop a specific midwifery intervention consisting of two components; women writing about the birth experience and reviewing their experience with a known midwife. Women´s birth experience has received research attention worldwide, showing a prevalence of negative birth experience ranging from 5-34%. Considerable knowledge of predictors and impacts of negative birth experience exists, but less is known about effective interventions although women report that reviewing birth experiences is beneficial. Six to eight midwives, providing antenatal care at the high-risk maternity clinic at Landspitali University Hospital, provide the intervention after completing a special training program. Thirty women who had their antenatal care provided at the clinic, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, will be invited to write about their birth experience and review it with the midwife who provided their antenatal care, four to six weeks after birth. The study is based on a mixed method design where quantitative and qualitative data will be collected. Data including traumatic symptoms, birth outcomes, birth experience and experience of the intervention, will be collected from women before the intervention and then six weeks later. The participating midwives´ diaries and focus group interviews will be used to explore their experience of providing the intervention. Descriptive and thematic analysis will be used.
The purpose of this mixed methods study is to evaluate the implementation of an adapted Safe Childbirth Checklist in a rural hospital in Chiapas, Mexico. The study aims are: 1. To evaluate the implementation of the adapted Safe Childbirth Checklist using quality of care indicators and the perspectives of providers and patients; 2. To examine changes in the perceptions of disrespectful and respectful practices around childbirth among providers before and after a quality improvement program. 3. To understand how postpartum women and their male partners perceive the care they received at the hospitals in Ángel Albino Corzo and Revolución with regard to disrespectful and respectful practices, and how, if at all, these experiences compare with prior birth experiences in other settings. 4. To examine trends in proportion of facility-based births in the catchment area of the hospital after the implementation of the adapted Safe Childbirth Checklist
A number of methods are currently used to prevent movement of epidural catheters in women during labour. These usually consist of sticky dressings applied to the patient's back. The purpose of this study is to compare how much epidural catheters move when secured with three commonly used different fixation dressings with the aim of identifying the best method of securing epidural catheters. Movement of epidural catheters has several clinical implications. Usually only a short length of epidural catheter is left in the epidural space, and therefore any significant movement could result in the catheter moving out of the epidural space leading to a loss of the pain relieving effects of the epidural. Once epidural failure has occurred due to catheter migration, a second catheter must be inserted in order to re-establish pain relief and thus the patient is exposed to the risks of epidural insertion for a second time. If the researchers in this study can identify a method of fixing epidural catheters which results in the least amount of catheter movement, then patients could benefit from more reliable epidural pain relief, fewer repeated procedures and the risks associated with repeated procedures. The principle objective of the study is to determine which epidural fixation dressing results in the least amount of epidural catheter movement from the time of epidural insertion (during labour) to the time of epidural removal (after labour).
The purpose with this study was to compare blood loss and women's experience of afterpains during the third stage when handled with active or expectant management of the third stage of labour. Hypothesis 1. To detect a 5% difference (15% vs 10%) in blood loss >1000 mL between the two groups with 80% power (α=0.05), at least 726 subjects were required in each group. Hypothesis 2. Afterpains are more pronounced in active compared to expectant management during the third stage of labour
