Filter by:While adaptation is generally achieved to the psychological changes that develop during pregnancy, some women may experience psychological changes such as contradiction, uncertainty, introversion, passive personality, addiction, fear, and anxiety in different periods of pregnancy. During this period, the fear of childbirth may also be experienced in pregnant women. Fear of childbirth or tokophobia is a phobic condition in which a woman avoids giving birth despite desperately wanting a baby. While fear of childbirth can have a negative impact on women's psychological health during pregnancy and birth experience, it is associated with negative obstetric outcomes and postpartum mental health problems. It is possible that the fear of childbirth reduces the mother's attachment to the fetus. Fear increases avoidant attachment and anxiety, which may be associated with lower commitment scores. There is a strong relationship between fear of childbirth and negative birth outcomes. Both affect the psychological well-being of the mother, adjustment to motherhood, and the quality of the mother's relationship with the baby. Knowing the fear of childbirth is important as it is associated with various health problems such as certain physiological and obstetric disorders and they can increase the possibility of emergency cesarean section. Mindfulness-based interventions combine elements of established cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducational content to support a self-effective approach to reduce stress-related symptoms and improve mental and physical well-being. Mindfulness-based practices that involve focusing on the present moment and accepting life without judgment are one of the effective ways to prepare for childbirth, help women feel more empowered and aware of their motherhood processes, and give mothers the opportunity to share knowledge and emotions. Mindfulness-based birth education intervention appears to be applicable for women and is associated with improvements in women's sense of control and confidence in giving birth.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of chest infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in young children, and is a major cause of admission to hospital and childhood death worldwide. One possible way to protect the mother and young infant from RSV infection is a vaccine given to women during pregnancy (maternal vaccination), which would pass protection to their unborn child. This may help to prevent RSV in the child's first few months of life when they are most vulnerable to infection. There are two main aims to this study: 1. To pre-emptively gauge the knowledge of RSV and potential acceptability of such vaccines amongst pregnant women and healthcare staff working in midwifery and obstetrics, as well as their attitudes (facilitators and barriers) to being involved in hypothetical future research trials. 2. We also wish to gauge the attitudes to routinely recommended vaccines in pregnancy (pertussis and influenza) The investigators propose to undertake a questionnaire-based study of randomly selected pregnant women and healthcare staff (over 16 years of age) at English teaching hospitals and GP practices. Pregnant women attending for ward reviews or antenatal clinics will approached and asked to complete an anonymous paper questionnaire lasting around 10 minutes. Healthcare staff will be approached in person, or via email, and asked to complete a slightly different questionnaire lasting around 5-10 minutes. No follow up will take place. Using statistical software, the investigators hope to identify factors that might affect patients' understanding of RSV and attitudes to being involved in hypothetical future trials and receiving routine vaccination
Purpose/Objective of the study: The main objective of the study is to investigate oral health awareness and attitudes towards oral health among Norwegian pregnant women and assess the impact of information about oral hygiene on the risk of dental caries during pregnancy. The hypothesis of the study are: 1. The state of oral health during pregnancy depends on pregnant woman's preventive oral hygiene behaviour and practice. 2. Pregnant women with high level of oral health awareness and positive attitude towards oral health are more likely to visit their dentists regularly and have better oral hygiene compared to those with less awareness. 3. Proper information and guidance on oral hygiene care provided during pregnancy can help to improve oral bacteriological milieu and reduce the dental caries risk among pregnant women.
