Breast-feeding; It is the basic step of newborn, maternal and community health. Breastfeeding counseling, which is planned to encourage, initiate and continue breastfeeding in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, is extremely important in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Breastfeeding counseling with mixed reality technology will contribute to the literature. The research will be carried out between January 2023 and December 2024 in the hospitals in Mersin with a delivery room. The universe will consist of all pregnant women who come to the obstetrics clinics of the specified hospitals for follow-up purposes. G Power 3.1 program was used for sampling. By using the G Power 3.1 program in the sample calculation (30); According to the Cohen Guidelines (Cohen's d); effect size was 0.5, power was 0.80, and significance level was 0.05. It was calculated as 102 people, with at least 51 people in the intervention group and at least 51 people in the control group. The sample number was determined as 112 pregnant women to receive 10% (5 each) for the intervention and control groups in case the participants dropped out of the study. In the study, "Block Randomization" method, which is one of the fixed probability randomization methods, will be used in order to ensure homogeneity between the groups and to eliminate selection bias. In the intervention group; Introductory Information Form, Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied as a pre-test to pregnant women in their 3rd trimester and breastfeeding counseling based on mixed reality technology will be given. The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale and Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be filled in within 24 hours and on the 7th day after giving birth. The same steps will be performed for the pregnant women in the control group, and unlike the intervention group, counseling will be applied with Power Point technique instead of mixed reality technology. Statistical analyzes will be made using a package program called SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics 24). In descriptive statistical analysis, mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, percentile, minimum and maximum values will be calculated. Descriptive, parametric and nonparametric statistical analysis methods will be used in the analysis of the data. Various studies have been conducted in Turkey using different methods on breastfeeding counseling, but no study has been found in which breastfeeding counseling was provided with mixed reality technology. Therefore, a randomized controlled experimental type study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of mixed reality technology-based breastfeeding counseling on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy of women.
Individually, both opioid and cannabis exposure during pregnancy are associated with changes in fetal growth. The extent to which opioid and cannabis exposure affect fetal growth is unknown. The Investigators hypothesize that the combination of both substances will impact placental function and subsequent fetal growth more severely than either substance alone. The primary objective is to determine the extent to which fetal growth profiles in opioid-exposed pregnancies are influenced by cannabis exposure. This prospective cohort study will consist of opioid-exposed pregnancies and pregnancies without opioid exposure recruited from 5 obstetrical clinics from across Ontario. A total of 546 participants will be recruited.
The preferences of pregnant women for postpartum thromboprophylaxis are largely unknown. The aims of this transversal study are to elicit the preferences of pregnant/postpartum women about postpartum thromboprophylaxis in semi-structured interviews, and to estimate the utility of the relevant health states (pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhage, subcutaneous injections). In this second aim, the investigators will also compare the effect of 2 different techniques to estimate utilities (standard gamble vs. time trade-off), using a randomization of these techniques.
The postpartum period is marked by significant changes in a woman's priorities, roles, and responsibilities. It is a stressful transition period in which one faces physical and emotional challenges. This stressful transition period. It can seriously affect women's mental health and psychosocial well-being. postpartum depression (PPD) is a common complication in women. PPD in about one in seven women can develop. In addition, PPD is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Preventive psychosocial and psychological practices are effective in reducing the incidence of PPD. cognitive behavioralist therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy and psychoeducational interventions are among these practices. Counseling, which is traditionally considered as a psychological intervention, is very useful for midwives and nurses. supports a number of theoretical applications and perspectives. Therefore, in order to achieve effective and beneficial results, education should be based on defined and organized theories and models. midwifery and nursing Implementation of care based on a model increases the success of care outcomes. health education Some models in the field allow us to explain the occurrence of behavior and its effect on a particular behavior. Helps us run the health education program to evaluate So about PPD A model selection is necessary for the conceptual framework of knowledge. The model chosen is the change in behavior. should explain their predictive factors and their effects on PPD. Health education in midwifery and nursing and One of the most frequently used models in the promotion of human care is Watson's Theory of Human Care (IBT). This model is love, It consists of the concepts of compassion, respect, trust and people and is a care that evaluates the individual as a whole provides. When the literature is examined, although there are a few studies aimed at preventing PPD, it is seen that PPD is It has been observed that there is no study on model-based psychoeducational intervention in the prevention of In our study, Watson model applied to pregnant women in the prevention of PPD was used to eliminate this deficiency aimed to evaluate the effect of a psychoeducational intervention based on
Study purpose: to explore the entire spectrum of proteomic and genomic changes (amongst others) involved in diseases and in healthy/control populations. The Study is designed to discover biomarkers, develop and validate diagnostic assays, instruments and therapeutics as well as other medical research. Specifically, researchers may analyze proteins, RNA, DNA copy number changes, including large and small (1,000-100,000 kb) scale rearrangements, transcription profiles, epigenetic modifications, sequence variation, and sequence in both diseased tissue and case-matched germline DNA from Subjects.
Eating disorders (ED) are insufficiently detected and belatedly or not treated during pregnancy. There are many screening questionnaires for eating disorders in the literature, but we note the absence of a specific and validated tool for their screening during pregnancy, which would make it possible to differentiate maternal dietary concerns related to pregnancy from symptoms linked to a proven eating disorder. The main objective of the study is to evaluate which items of the Sick Control One stone Fat Food (SCOFF-F) and Eating disorders examination questionnaire (EDE-Q) questionnaires could be specific to an ED during pregnancy and not related to the simple state of pregnancy, by comparing the answers of pregnant women, for whom the diagnosis of ED has been made, to those of pregnant women without an ED.
Iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements are currently provided to Cambodian women during pregnancy. However, recent research has showed benefit of a multiple micronutrient supplement (MMS) over just IFA alone on several outcomes of perinatal and infant health. The Ministry of Health in Cambodia has proposed a transition from IFA to MMS but would like to collect some formative research on this first to assess acceptability and adherence to MMS (over IFA) and help guide key messaging, packaging, and practices to guide the transition in Cambodia.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting program on prenatal attachment and depression, stress and anxiety levels of pregnants. The study will be carried out in two different groups. After the pregnants are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the pregnants who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the pregnants who accept. The random distribution of pregnants to the study groups will be carried out random. The following applications will be made to the groups.
Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is responsible for most perinatal and fetal mortality. Few programs are patient-centered during pregnancy, increasing the risks of misinformation and misconceptions among pregnant women and, as a result, malpractices. Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a form to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about PIH.
