Filter by:This research will be carried out in a quasi-experimental design to determine the effect of maternity care and neonatal care training given to primiparous pregnant women on parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period. Research Hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received training during pregnancy and did not. H1: There is a difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received and did not receive education during pregnancy.
Evidence exists on the vertical transmission of Streptococcus mutans from the mother to her children. This transmission can be prevented by maintaining maternal oral health during pregnancy.
This is a randomized controlled trial study with two arms teach-back group vs. controlled group. We decided the assignment of the women to each group by tossing a coin (heads for the teach-back group and tails for the control group). The women were informed about receiving education during the trial, but they were not aware of the forms and techniques used in the trial, nor were they aware if they were assigned to the teach-back group or control group. For the first two education sessions, the women were grouped based on the time of their recruitment, i.e., being the first recruited, being the first grouped and being the first to receive education. The educators were numbered from 1 to 8 according to their work shifts and were assigned to education sessions in sequence and cycle. For the third education session, the educators were assigned to contact women based on the matching of their work schedules. The women could be grouped with different peers and met different educators during the trial. In this way, we could reduce the possible influence of educators and group peers on the results of the trial.
From April 2021 to December 2021, 50 pregnant women who received intro fertilization (IVF) will be recuited. Among them, 25 of them would like to take Chinese medicine from the 2nd week after embryo transfer (intervention group), while the remaining 25 will not intake Chinese medicine (control group). Blood and feces samples will be collected in the early morning of the 4th and 6th week after embryo transfer to detect 16S DNA sequences in feces, plasma metabolites, and whole blood transcriptomics.
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the e-mobile health application on postpartum adaptation. The study will consist of two groups: Experimental group and control group.
Pregnant women who are in the process of labor need physical and emotional support of health professionals in issues such as coping with labor pain, relieving fear and anxiety, and experiencing positive birth. The fact that labor dance includes components such as upright posture, pelvic movement, touch, massage provides both physical and emotional support to the pregnant woman. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of labor dance applied to pregnant women in the first stage of birth on labor pain, anxiety, birth time and maternal satisfaction at birth.
The aim of the WELL-DONE! Study is to co-design, using different professional figures (midwives, psychologists, master's degree in motor science) but also taking into consideration the pregnant women's point of view, an intervention of adapted physical activity for pregnant women, included in the birth accompaniment courses and conducted by midwives, and to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of quality of life, well-being, levels of physical activity and satisfaction with respect to the proposed intervention.
Problem description: low compliance with iron supplementation of Saudi pregnant women with anemia is a serious public health concern. The objectives of the study are to determine the effectiveness of the Health Information Package Program (HIP program) in Saudi anemic pregnant women on their compliance with iron supplementation, and level of hemoglobin. Methodology: Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted on 196 Saudi anemic pregnant women attending the Maternity and Children Hospital in Saudi Arabia their gestational age between 14 and less than 20 weeks. All participants will receive iron supplementation and they will learn how to take tablets. They will randomly assign to two intervention and control groups (98 each) using a computer-generated table of random numbers. The intervention group will receive a PowerPoint presentation of the Health Information Package Program (HIP program) that will be introduced by the principal investigator, combined with PowerPoint slides to educate women about anemia in pregnancy and send it to them via Whatsapp application while the control group will receive usual care. The participants will be informed about the nature and aim of the study with assuring confidentiality and anonymity. Expected outcome: Health Information Package Program (HIP program) will be effective in terms of increasing women's knowledge regarding anemia during pregnancy, increase compliance with iron supplementation, and hemoglobin level.
The SARS-CoV-2 infection may behave differently in pregnant and postpartum women in the short and long term. Several risk factors or medication use can interfere on disease' evolution and vertical transmission. Thus, due the current pandemic and the scarcity of scientific studies involving pregnant women with covid-19 or positive serology, combined with the need to elucidate the behavior of this viral infection in pregnant women in our population, this study aims to evaluate the clinical and laboratory evolution, transplacental passage, gestational and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with positive SARS-CoV-2.
With the Healthy China 2030 Plan for further reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR), and increasing number of high-risk pregnancies in China, we aimed to develop a registry of pregnant women based on hospital-based Electronic Medical Records (EMR) data in West China, through integrating information technology and medical knowledge, by linking multi-resource data covering information regarding the whole cycle from pregnancy registration till delivery, and process of diagnosis, treatment and pregnancy outcomes, in order to provide reliable, valuable and efficient data resources for researches about high-risk pregnancy safety and MMR reduction in southwestern China. From January 29, 2014 to November 29, 2019, 64,468 pregnancies of 62,690 women were registered around gestational 13th weeks in the hospital, collecting over 47 million records (including repeated measurement data) from Health Information System (HIS), Laboratory Information System (LIS), and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). After excluding 3476 pregnancies lost to follow-up and 7325 newly-pregnancies with expected date of delivery out of the study time, a total of 53,667 pregnancies about 51,964 women were finally included in the registry, who had been followed up till the occurrence of at least one outcome, including any pregnancy complication, abortion, stillbirth, induced labor, and live birth between January 1, 2015 and November 30, 2019. Till now, through data linkage, data collection, cleaning and recoding, we have generated more than 2100 structured variables regarding pre-pregnancy conditions, prenatal visit records, hospitalized diagnosis, treatment and discharge outcomes. The diagnoses of pregnancy complications, maternal and fetal outcomes, recorded by ICD-10 coding or free terms in original fields, were uniformly encoded by the Classification and Codes of Diseases released by Chinese National Standards Institute (GB/T14396-2016) and National Health Standard Criteria for Birth Defects (WS 377.6-2013).
