Filter by:Sleep disturbances are one of the most frequent complaints brought to the healthcare professionals during routine prenatal care visits.The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a Sleep Training and Education Program (STEP) for improving sleep and health in women during pregnancy.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of a modified product "safe breastfeeding pillow" in enhancing the comfort and safety of postpartum women during breastfeeding. The results of this study can be used as a reference to promote clinical practice and education on breastfeeding to prolong the duration of breastfeeding and to ensure the safety of newborns.
Although pregnancy is a natural process, it is a period in which some bio-physiological changes are experienced. These changes cause low back pain by affecting the musculoskeletal system as well as the endocrine, cardiovascular and renal systems. Pregnancy-related low back pain is defined as recurrent pain in the lumbopelvic region lasting more than one week. It can manifest itself in pregnancy as low back pain, lumbar pain, pelvic pain and lumbopelvic pain where both are present. In order to cope with low back pain in pregnancy and to increase the quality of life, low back pain should be evaluated in antenatal and postnatal follow-ups. Risk factors should be examined, women in the risk group should be identified, their low back pain experience should be questioned, prevention and coping strategies and the effect of low back pain on their quality of life should be evaluated. Healthy lifestyle programs should be developed to help prevent low back pain and develop coping strategies for pregnant women with low back pain.
it was aimed to determine the effect of empathic communication-based education on positive birth perception awareness.
Background: Physiology of the mother, changes constantly during pregnancy including reduced HGS that is require for carrying the child after delivery. Activities of daily living require manual gripping tasks that require dynamic and static contractions. Predictor of upper extremity function is Hand Grip Strength and handgrip endurance. Screening of hand grip strength during antenatal care is still uncommon. Objectives: To compare static and dynamic hand grip endurance in pregnant females and to find its correlation with deep breathing. Material and Methods: The study recruited 40 participants of primi-gravida of 1st and 2nd trimester, between ages 20 and 35 years from SHALAMAR GYNAE OPD. The participants assigned to the groups (Group 1: with DB, Group 2: without DB) based on their trimester and gravidity. Static and dynamic endurance assessed using hand held dynamometer. Key words: Pregnancy, deep breathing, trimester, endurance, peak grip endurance
Prenatal multivitamin/multimineral supplements (MVI) provide important nutrition supplement to the diet of pregnant women to cover potential deficiencies and optimize nutrition status of both mom and baby, especially when the diet is suboptimal or nutrient demand is high while absorption is hindered by various factors such as genetic variance and gastrointestinal function. In this double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, the investigators will recruit 70 pregnant women at gestational week 12-14 and randomly assign them to either receive a Ritual prenatal MVI (n=35) or another commercially available prenatal MVI (n=35) through out pregnancy. Both supplements are over the counter and commercially available. The major differences between the two MVIs are the chemical form of folate as either 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate or folic acid, and the dosages of vitamin D, biotin, and docosahexaenoic acid. The investigators will collect blood samples in each trimester of pregnancy and the placenta and cord blood at delivery to assess differences in blood nutrient levels. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of Ritual MVI leads to better nutrition status and biomarkers in maternal-fetal dyads compared to control during the antepartum period.
The aim of this clinical study is the evaluation of clinical performance of a cell-based non-invasive test technology for fetal aneuploidies and segmental imbalances detection in a high-risk pregnancies population.
Occupational physical activity during pregnancy may decrease blood supply to the uterus and be connected to negative pregnancy outcomes. Every year, this notion prompts many pregnant women to be absent from their workplace in order to protect themselves and their unborn children. However, little is known about the actual extent and impact of physical workloads among expecting mothers in Denmark and whether this high rate of pregnancy related absence is necessary. In consequence, current guidelines from the Danish Working Environment Agency have omitted former limits on lifting during pregnancy due to lack of evidence. (1) Former studies have mainly been based on self-reported data with no measurements of exposures. A comprehensive evaluation of physical exposures in Danish workplaces and potential consequences for pregnant women will provide a rational basis for organization of work with improved options for prevention of adverse health effects. By use of measurements, observations and real-time self-report, the overall aim of the project is to attain precise data on physical workloads (lifting, standing/walking and forward bending) among pregnant employees in the Danish workforce, and investigate how these relate to discomforts, complications and negative pregnancy outcomes.
Pregnant people have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease. Pregnant people have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 infection control policies, which have resulted in higher rates of intimate partner violence, mental health distress, employment and income loss. This project examines the impact of accumulated individual health decisions, describing how perinatal healthcare use and outcomes changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives, questions and hypotheses This research study has two objectives: 1. Describe differences between three groups of pregnant persons classified by the date they gave birth: 01/01/2019-03/31/2019 (2019 birth group), 01/01/2021-03/31/2021 (2021 birth group), and 01/01/2022-03/31/2022 (2022 birth group) pregnancy cohorts in Ontario and British Columbia relative to key outcomes and quality of care indicators related to vaccination, perinatal care, and mental health. Examine the differential impacts on racialized and low-income pregnant people. (Quantitative strand) 2. Understand how pregnant people's perceptions of COVID-19 risk and pandemic circumstances influenced their decision-making about key elements of pregnancy, including vaccination, perinatal care, social support and mental health. (Qualitative strand) Research questions and hypotheses have been operationalized according to our three themes: Theme 1: Vaccination Theme 2: Perinatal Care Theme 3: Mental Health and Social Support
This is a cross-sectional study of a representative sample of women who gave birth in the 3 maternity hospitals of French Guiana. The main objective is to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity among pregnant women admitted for delivery in one of the maternity hospitals of French Guiana. A biological assay of deficiencies and toxic metals as well as the completion of a questionnaire will answer the research question
