In this research study, the investigators want to learn more about the role of new innovative surgical devices, the Karl Storz Curved and Straight Fetoscopes for in-utero surgery. A fetoscope is like a small telescope that can see inside of the uterus (womb) during minimally invasive surgery. The curved scope is used for patients with an anterior placenta (front of uterus), while the straight scope is used for patients with a posterior placenta (back of uterus). The scopes will be used to assist in procedures involving fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP), which is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small camera (fetoscope) to locate abnormal blood vessel connections in the placenta and seal them off using laser energy. These fetoscopes will be utilized in the diagnosis and management of various fetal conditions that can arise during pregnancy. Outcome data will be reported in a descriptive statistical analysis. The investigators will assess the surgical outcomes, short and long-term morbidity, complications, and gestational age of participants in order to evaluate the benefit of using these devices.
To construct the platform for exercise counseling for pregnant women, and evaluate the effects of that telecare platform integration model for exercise consultation on exercise behaviors and prenatal health outcomes among pregnant women during pregnancy.
The BUNDLE study is a prospective mixed-methods study focused on the early integration of community doula into prenatal care. The study will have three phases: Phase 1 is the qualitative phase of conducting focus groups with Black/African American (AA) birthing people and with medical and community healthcare providers to elicit feedback on how best to integrate community-based doulas and obstetricians into one united model of prenatal care to promote trust and improved maternal health outcomes. Phase 2 tests the effectiveness of the newly developed model on healthcare engagement, trust, and adverse maternal outcomes using randomized control trial of 412 Black/AA pregnant participants. Phase 3 is dissemination of BUNDLE findings in scholarly and community-based forums, including with healthcare leaders and policy makers in Wisconsin, advocating for doula coverage and health system sustainability of the integrated model.
To investigate the effect of the Childbirth and Parenthood Preparation Education on Maternal Health Needs, Pregnancy-Related Anxiety and Fetal Health Anxiety in Primigravidas. A total of 148 pregnant women are planned to be included in the study. Data will be collected with the 'Pregnant Identification Form', 'Maternal Health Needs Scale', 'Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale-Revision 2' and 'Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory. The "Childbirth and Parenthood Preparation Education" program will be applied to the experimental group for a period of four weeks (a month (each week, once a week in total four sessions)). It is thought that the results of the research will contribute to the welfare of pregnant women by reducing maternal health needs, pregnancy-related anxiety and fetal health anxiety levels.
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.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs in approximately 15% of all pregnancies worldwide.GDM can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) later in a woman's life. Babies of mothers with GDM have a greater risk of developing T2DM and cardiovascular disease than infants of women without GDM. The degree of insulin resistance is directly proportional to the accumulated free radicals. Selenium functions as an active site component of an antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, and helps scavenge free radicals. In addition, an experimental study has shown that selenium provides activation by binding to insulin receptors and lowers blood sugar by increasing glucose uptake by cells. According to all this information, we aimed to evaluate the effect of selenium on blood sugar regulation in pregnant patients.
To develop and validate a tool that estimates the degree of pregnancy-associated progression of renal disease in women with CKD and pregnancy outcomes in an international multicentre cohort study.
One of the most special life events of the fertile period is pregnancy. Pregnancy causes many physiological, metabolic, mental and social changes. These changes may adversely affect the sleep quality and comfort levels of pregnant women. Sleep is one of the basic life activities. Comfort is the state of being physiologically, mentally and socially comfortable. The woman who completes her pregnancy comfortably has a high self-confidence and quality of life. On the other hand, it is known that stress, anxiety and depression are experienced more and pregnancy and birth complications increase. For this reason, it is important to determine the comfort levels of pregnant women and to know the factors affecting them. It should not be forgotten that sleep quality in the prenatal period may be effective on the comfort levels of individuals. Evaluation of sleep quality and comfort levels of pregnant women is a routine part of prenatal care. Various interventions can be used to improve the sleep quality of pregnant women. The use of a pregnant pillow in the prenatal period is one of these applications. By providing support and relaxation to 5 different parts of the body simultaneously, the pregnancy pillow helps to increase the sleep quality of expectant mothers during pregnancy and to reduce the neck, abdomen, waist, back and leg pains they experience. It is known that sleep problems are experienced especially in primaries and third trimesters. For this reason, using the pregnant pillow in the third trimester, when sleep problems increase and comfort is adversely affected, may help improve the sleep quality and comfort level of pregnant women. With this planned study, it was aimed to examine the effect of the pregnant pillow used in the last trimester on sleep and comfort. This research will be carried out with pregnant women who applied to Amasya University Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Training and Research Hospital NST and polyclinic unit between 01 March and 31 August 2023. The data of the study will be collected by using Personal Information Form, Information Form on Sleep in Pregnancy, Prenatal Comfort Scale and Pitsburg Sleep Quality Scale.
