Filter by:The aim of this research is to determine the effect of foot reflexology applied to primiparous women who had cesarean section in the postpartum period on pain, fatigue, sleep quality and lactation. This research is a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted in Şanlıurfa, which has the highest fertility rate in Turkey.
Background: Interventions focusing on promoting good behavioural intentions were found to only have small-to-moderate effect sizes on changing the actual behaviours. Self-regulation plays an important role to maintain individual attentions to the distant benefits of healthy behaviours and resist to proximal tempting cues from unhealthy behaviours, and thereby facilitate the translation of good intention into actual behaviours. However, self-regulation resources are limited and can be depleted in certain contexts. Providing environmental cues relevant to the desirable behaviours can activate the nonconscious process and lead to behavioural change without conscious awareness, the underlying mechanism of cueing interventions. Aims: To test the effectiveness of using two types of cues, social normative and goal-related cues, to activate the nonconscious process for facilitating the translation of intentions into actual behaviours. We hypothesize that (1) cueing interventions will be more effective than will conventional education-based interventions (providing factual information about health benefits) be for changing behaviours; (2) cueing interventions are more effective for participants who have a tendency to use an intuitive mode in information processing; and (3) goal priming is more effective for participants with stronger motivation to pursue the goal of sustaining breastfeeding. Subject and study design: The hypotheses will be tested in the behavioural context of breastfeeding among first-time mothers because: first, primiparous women may have less self-regulation resources due to high cognitive demand for postpartum adjustment during motherhood transition; and second, while breastfeeding intention and initiation were high, maintaining breastfeeding for the first six months postpartum was generally low in Hong Kong, indicating a substantial intention-behaviour gap. We propose to recruit 600 primiparous women. Baseline assessments will be conducted face-to-face using a standardized questionnaire. Participants will be randomly allocated to the control group (receive education-based messages about the health benefit of breastfeeding) or one of the two intervention groups (receive either social normative cues or goal-related cues related to breastfeeding). All messages will be delivered through smartphone on a daily basis over 16 weeks postpartum.
Background: Maternal and paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy is an important factor and could be modified in improving breastfeeding outcomes. Conducting breastfeeding educational intervention that involves the husband as well as incorporating a web-based platform based on breastfeeding self-efficacy theory is needs to be explored. Objectives: The aim to investigate the effectiveness of the web-based educational intervention on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding outcomes. Methods: A randomized control trial will be conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the web-based educational intervention on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding outcomes. 80 mothers and fathers from primary health care and public hospital in Jakarta will be recruited in this study and will randomly allocate using block randomization. The participants in the intervention group will receive standard usual care and web-based educational intervention, while the control group will receive usual care. The outcomes of this study are breastfeeding self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, infant feeding attitude, as well as breastfeeding outcomes that will be measured at baseline, 38 weeks of pregnancy, 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months. A generalized Linear Model will be used to test the effect of the intervention for the group, time as well as group and time interaction. Anticipatory result:The educational intervention will be effective in helping mothers and fathers receiving interventions to have higher breastfeeding self-efficacy, lower levels of depression and anxiety, higher breastfeeding attitude as well as exclusive breastfeeding rate compared to mothers and fathers in the control group.

This study aimed to determine the effect of oral motor stimulation (OMS) in preterm infants for successful feeding and sucking.
The purpose of this study is to test if a mobile device delivered intervention program can improve breast-feeding self-efficacy in primiparous mothers.
This is an interventional, prospective, randomized, comparative, two-period cross over study to evaluate the performance of Annabella breast pump against a control breast pump.
This study will give an update on the breastfeeding prevalence and infant nutrition in Austria. Key aspects for this study are: 1. the current breastfeeding rates 2. further insights on factors influencing breastfeeding such as the information mothers have about breastfeeding, their attitude, support they received for breastfeeding problems as well as sociodemographic factors and 3. complimentary feeding. All postpartum women in Austria were eligible for participation. It consists of representative and prospective data recordings of breastfeeding and infant nutrition for the participating mother-child pairs via online questionnaires at four times of measurement over a period of one year. The results of the present study will give us an update about the development of breastfeeding rates in Austria and a better understanding of entry points for interventions on child nutrition and child health.
Untreated postpartum pain has been associated with increased risk of opioid use, postpartum depression and development of persistent pain. In this study the investigators will investigate whether a scheduled administration of analgesics is superior to administration of analgesics based on patient request following a vaginal delivery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of domperidone is associated with an increased risk of serious cardiac events among postpartum women in the six months following delivery. The hypothesis is that the use of domperidone will be associated with an increased risk of serious cardiac events among postpartum women. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using health care databases in five Canadian provinces. Women with live births will be eligible to enter the cohort. We will identify all women who start domperidone during the six months following delivery and match them to similar women who do not start domperidone, with all included women followed until the occurrence of an adverse cardiac event or for up to six months after delivery. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of serious cardiac events in users of domperidone.
Research Aim: We assessed human milk intakes of Thai infants during the first 6 months comparing exclusive (EBF), predominant (PBF) and partial (PartBF) breastfeeding. Methods: One-hundred and ten apparently healthy Thai lactating mother-infant pairs were followed from birth. Human milk intakes were determined at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, using the DTM method. Daily energy and protein intakes were assessed using 3-day non-consecutive 24-hour recalls. Socio-demographic characteristics were collected using a questionnaire. For comparisons among breastfeeding practices, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test was used for normally distributed data, or Kruskal-Wallis Test with Mann-Whitney U Test for not normally distributed data.
