Filter by:Midwives' busy working environments, long working hours, worry of being sued, and encountering problems that may cause trauma can negatively affect their psychological resilience by increasing the stress level of midwives (Yalçın D., Bürün Bingöl F., 2023). Resilience in midwifery is a less researched topic (Sayıner F.D., Çömezoğlu E. et al., 2021). In studies investigating resilience in midwifery; Midwives' secondary traumatic stress total score was found to be high, while their resilience scale total score was found to be low. A negative, highly and statistically significant relationship was detected between the secondary traumatic stress scale and psychological resilience scale scores (r=-0.752; p=0.000) (Dağlı E., Topkara F.N., 2023). In another study, the factors affecting midwives' intention to change jobs or leave the profession were investigated. As a result; It was determined that almost half of the midwives intended to change jobs and/or quit midwifery within 5 years, and the most common reasons for the intention to change jobs/leave were family commitments, working conditions, role dissatisfaction, work-life balance and career change (Pugh J.D., 2013). So, it is recommended to develop programs to increase their quality of life and psychological resilience and to demonstrate their effectiveness through experimental studies (Sevin B., Partlak Gunüşen N., 2021). Hypotheses: H0. Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" does not change midwives' resilience scale scores. H1: Training given according to the "midwifery resilience model" increases midwives' resilience scale scores.
This study was conducted as randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of Therapeutic Touch on acute pain and comfort level in women who delivered by cesarean section. Personal information form was used as data collection form, VAS was used to assess pain, and PPCQ was used to assess comfort. When power analysis was performed, the sample size was calculated to be at least 45 participants for each group (45 experiments, 45 controls). Experimental group received deep Therapeutic Touch by investigators two time at 10th and 40nd hours after cesarean section.
It is aimed to determine the late cord clamping with early skin-to-skin contact in primiparous pregnant women who delivered vaginally, according to placental separation time, separation method, amount of postpartum bleeding and postpartum comfort.
No study was found as a result of the literature review. It is thought that laughter yoga will affect the life satisfaction and sleep quality of individuals due to reasons such as increasing oxygen saturation in the blood, strengthening mental functions, providing mental well-being and reducing stress. stress and mental fatigue are thought to affect life satisfaction and sleep quality, so it was planned to evaluate the effect of laughter yoga on life satisfaction and sleep quality.
In this study, web-based intercultural midwifery training will increase students' cultural sensitivity and cultural skill level score averages. Based on these results, interactive training methods should be use on the web base to increase the effectiveness of the training given to the students and this training should be make widespread. It may be suggested that this research should be repeat using different training techniques and with different sample groups.
H1-1 = Spousal massage during the active phase of labor reduces perceived labor pain. H1-2 = Spousal massage applied during the active phase of labor reduces the state anxiety of the woman. H1-3= Spousal massage applied during the active phase of labor affects the birth process (active phase and labor duration, labor with intervention). H1-4= Spouse massage applied in the active phase of labor increases the satisfaction level of women from massage application.
H1-1: Watching video with virtual reality glasses during episiotomy repair reduces the level of pain. H1-2 Watching video with virtual reality glasses during episiotomy repair reduces the level of anxiety. H1-3: Watching video with virtual reality glasses during episiotomy repair increases the level of satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to reduce sick leave and improve wellbeing. This is measured as physical and mental health, general work ability, work-life balance, manager support and completed work adjustments among pregnant health care professionals. It is hypothesised that pregnant employees participating in preventive sessions with their manager and a midwife in addition to the hospital standard pregnancy policy management will have less sick leave and report better wellbeing compared to the reference group.
This PhD project aims to explore how midwives can take the lead in implementing and enhancing evidence-based quality improvement (QI) components within maternal and newborn health care in Uganda. The MIDWIZE conceptual framework will be used to understand the complexity of sustainably enhancing maternal and newborn healthcare. The project will start with a multisectoral co-creation process and subsequently involve online and onsite capacity building for midwives on selected evidence-based practices and implementation strategies. The project applies a mixed-method research approach, including focus groups discussions, interviews, quantitative data on health outcomes and a tool evaluating midwives' sense of power and autonomy.
Episiotomy is one of the common surgical operations that can cause anxiety in women and have side effects such as pain. Nerve blockades with analgesic effects such as lidocaine used during episiotomy repair or the use of tranquilizers and sleep-inducing drugs used to reduce anxiety during this procedure may have side effects. Nowadays, the trends towards non-medical methods (virtual reality glasses, praying, distraction, music therapy) in addition to medical methods during episiotomy repair are increasing due to the inevitable nature of these methods and the absence of side effects. In the study, it is stated that women will prefer non-medical methods (such as distraction or prayer) to alleviate pain or anxiety. It is important for midwives to have knowledge about these alternative methods (music therapy, virtual reality glasses, distraction, massage, acupressure, praying) to reduce the pain and anxiety that occurs during episiotomy repair. A new technology, virtual reality (VR), helps users connect to an environment that simulates reality, reducing pain by distracting them from the real world through computers or other devices. Although initially considered a technology only for the entertainment industry, its field of application has grown over the past decade to include various clinical areas such as pain management, physical rehabilitation, and psychiatric disorders. VR is suitable for clinical use and is a non-invasive and drug-free analgesic method. Its use in obstetrics is very new. Virtual reality glasses are recognized as a safe, inexpensive and effective non-pharmacological anxiolytic agent that allows for the reduction of regular pharmacological sedative doses due to their effect on anxiety and pain perception. Skin-to-skin contact is defined by the World Health Organization as the basic component of postnatal care. Skin-to-skin contact helps to reduce the pain felt during episiotomy repair in the mother and in the postpartum period. This research was planned to determine the effect of virtual reality glasses on pain and anxiety during episiotomy repair.
