Postpartum is a transitional period in which physical, social and emotional changes take place in the women. Especially the difficulty of psychological and physiological changes can be associated with deterioration in the women's health. Exercise support programs given to postpartum women have been shown to contribute to physical, mental and social well-being. Statistically significant improvements were found in depression and anxiety symptoms, energy and fatigue parameters, and general health regarding the effects of exercise on mental health in pregnant and postpartum women. The recommendation of the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is that women start physical activity as soon as they are medically or obstetrically safe. It is stated that they can be included in the exercise programs as soon as possible if it is a normal delivery, and after the 6th week, except for certain exercises if it is a cesarean section. Literature mentioned that exercise studies with postpartum women are insufficient. These mostly focused on the postpartum period and women who had a cesarean section were excluded. In their studies comparing the clinical and virtual environment; Although there is no statistical difference, there are studies showing that it is superior. To the best knowledge, there were no studies on postpartum telerehabilitation. Literature with a multidimensional approach in line with the recommendations of the guidelines were also limited.
For women of reproductive age, the overall postpartum weight retention (weight gain between pregnancies) plays a significant role in long-term obesity. With 20% of women retaining ≥ 5 kg at 12 months postpartum, the risk of developing conditions, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), metabolic syndrome (MS) and subsequently diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, is substantially increased. In post-GDM mothers (women who had GDM in their recent pregnancy), postpartum weight retention is also an essential predictor of future diabetes. Recent studies have identified the impact of circadian rhythms (influencing sleep/wake cycles) and diurnal rhythm of eating (when and how often calories are consumed over a 24h period) on cardio-metabolic disorders. In women, one remarkable feature of the postpartum period is an 'externally imposed' circadian misalignment of both sleep and eating rhythms, because most babies take several weeks to months to establish their daily pattern of activity and feeding, which is particularly relevant for breastfeeding women, as the responsibility is generally on the mother. The overarching goal of this project is to explore the interplay between the diurnal rhythm of eating, circadian and metabolic parameters in humans. The potential postpartum effects of circadian disruption will be unraveled in women who had GDM during their pregnancy and those with an uneventful pregnancy. These women are subject to a circadian misalignment due to their 'externally imposed' changes in sleep/wake cycles and eating times in the postpartum period. With a comprehensive approach combining molecular characterization of in vivo and in vitro circadian clock parameters along with metabolic, endocrine, transcriptomic, and lipidomic studies, the investigators will assess if eating duration and/or circadian misalignment impact on circadian clock parameters of postpartum women in a prospective cohort of 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf capsule in increasing breast milk volume
Purpose: To examine the effect of Pericardium 6 and Large Intestine 4 acupressure on pain and analgesia consumption in women after cesarean section. Methods: This study was conducted in a randomized, single-blind, placebo and control group study design with 132 women, including acupressure (n=44), placebo (n=44), and control (n=44) groups. Acupressure was administered to the Pericardium 6 and Large Intestine 4 points in the second and fourth hours after cesarean section. Data were collected using the personal information form and Visual Analog Scale. This study was used the CONSORT scheme.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of a hypopressive abdominal exercise program versus a general strengthening exercise program on inter-recti distance, abdominal and lumbar muscle thickness, lumbopelvic and abdominal pain and function, pelvic floor dysfunction, and quality of life in postpartum women. To evaluate the effects of the interventions, the subjects will be assessed at pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention and at 3-months follow-up.
Aim and objectives: To determine the efficacy of foot reflexology versus standard care for improvement of the sleep quality of postpartum women following vaginal birth. Background: Sleeplessness is one of the major problems experienced by women in the postpartum period following vaginal birth. Design: A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted between July 2016 and March 2017. Methods: In this trial, a total of 54 postpartum women were divided into the intervention group (n= 24) and control group (n= 30). In the intervention group, four sessions foot reflexology was applied for 15 minutes in each foot, every other days between postpartum 14th- 20th day. Measures included daily and nighttime sleep durations and Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS) scores. This study was used the CONSORT scheme.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of systematic catheter-drainage of urine for parturient women immediately in the delivery room on the occurrence of post-voiding urine residue.
