Filter by:At the end of your cesarean section surgery, which is started by applying medication to the spinal cavity from your waist, pain medication will be applied between the relevant muscle and its covering from your lower abdomen or back with the help of ultrasonography and a special block needle. Then, a patient-controlled pain device with a serum containing painkillers will be connected to your vascular access, and its use and purpose will be explained to you. You will be asked about your pain condition and the severity score of your pain, if any, at certain hourly intervals. At the end of 24 hours, a pain device will be removed, your satisfaction will be questioned and your complaints, if any, will be recorded. Immediately before surgery and 4-6 days after your surgery. An evaluation survey consisting of 10 questions will be asked to you within a 5-minute period during the weeks, at a time when you are free, and your answers will be recorded.
The purpose of the study is to compare a text message-based mental health and substance use screening and referral to a treatment program, called Listening to Women and Pregnant and Postpartum People (LTWP), to standard of care in-person mental health and substance use screening to look at rates of treatment attendance and retention in treatment. Participation would involve completing online questionnaires. You may be eligible to participate if you are age 18-45 years, are pregnant and entering prenatal care in one of MUSC's OB clinics, and attended a prenatal appointment at an MUSC clinic.
The feeding process is based on a mutual relationship and interaction, as it takes place with the active participation of the child and the parent. Feeding problems are among the most common behavioral problems in early childhood. Inappropriate eating habits can cause growth retardation, unhealthy food preferences, and obesity. Parent-child interaction during feeding is particularly important in developing healthy feeding behavior. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interaction between mother and child during feeding, by using the Feeding Scale in Turkish children aged 6-36 months. A cross sectional, observational study will be conducted to explore mother-child relationship during feeding period by using Chatoor Feeding Scale.
The main goal of the research is to apply and evaluate the web-based preventive intervention (the Be a Mom program), in terms of its efficacy, acceptability and feasibility (user's adherence, dropout), and user's satisfaction. Prior to the randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will conduct a pilot trial to evaluate the preliminary version of the Be a Mom program in high-risk women (random assignment to the intervention or to the control condition). The RCT will be a two-arm prevention trial. Women who have had a child during the prior month will be enrolled in the study. A minimum number of 1000 women will be enrolled in the study. After agreeing to participate in the study, the women will be screened for the presence of risk factors for PPD and early-onset PPD symptoms (using self-report questionnaires) by a researcher (licensed psychologist). In case of a negative screen, women's participation in the study will end. In case of a positive screen (high-risk women), women will be randomly assigned to one of the conditions: the intervention (Be a Mom program) or the control condition. The sample will be recruited online and at the maternities of Coimbra University Hospitals-CHUC, EPE. Participation in the study will last 11 months. The Be a Mom program will last 5 weeks. Participants in both conditions will be invited by the researchers via email to complete baseline, post-intervention and follow-up (4-months and 12-months after childbirth) assessments. Assessments will include self-report questionnaires to assess several indicators (e.g., depressive and anxiety symptoms, dyadic adjustment, mother-child bonding, and maternal confidence), mechanisms that may be involved in the treatment response (e.g., npsychological flexibility, emotional regulation) and user's acceptability and satisfaction.
Postpartum depression is a disease with a prevalence of 10% which has not only deleterious consequences for the mother but also for the baby and can delay the physical, social and cognitive development of the baby. Therefore we consider very important to prevent this disease as from the centers of care for women with a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this study is to determine whether psychoeducation oriented in problem solving is effective in preventing the development of postpartum depression in women with very high risk. Methodology: screening of 1000 women in 3rd trimester of pregnancy. We expect that 25% have at least one risk factor for postpartum depression (250). Of these women, aproximately a 50% will have a very high risk of developing postpartum depressión and will be included in the study (n = 125). These women will be randomized to two groups: treatment with psychotherapy focused on problem solving (6 sessions: 1 individual session + 5 group sessions) or usual care control group (usual postpartum control). After treatment, women will be evaluated twice, at the end of therapy and at 6 weeks. Survival curves will be used tu assess the time it takes patients to develop major depression in the postpartum.
