Filter by:This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with posttest and control group in order to evaluate the effect of the solution focused approach method applied to primigravidas on psychosocial health, fear of childbirth and postnatal security sensations
Background: In various experimental or clinical studies, it has been reported that the jelly made from the quince seed is effective in healing wounds (attributed to the antioxidants, which increased fibroblast activity and collagen production, facilitated the formation of granulation tissue and increased blood circulation) and has no side effects or contraindications. Purpose: To evaluates the effects of quince seed jelly and breast milk on nipple fissures. Methods: Randomised controlled experimental study.
H1: "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Status" is higher in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training compared to the control group receiving routine care. H2: The level of knowledge obtained according to the "Pre-test Post-test Question Form" in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training is higher than before the education. H3: The status of starting and successfully continuing breastfeeding is higher in mothers who received postnatal hospital-based breastfeeding group training compared to the control group who received routine care.
The goal of this pilot project is to test the feasibility and potential efficacy of the evidence-based mHealth app (BumptUp) for improving physical activity and subsequent health outcomes (i.e. obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance) among pregnant and postpartum women in a rural community. In order to accomplish this goal, feasibility of the intervention protocol will be tested by the assessment of recruitment (how many participants eligible per month), retention (% of women who complete the study protocol), adherence to intervention (% of women who utilize the app), and acceptability (survey and one-on-one exit interviews) during pregnancy and postpartum. Potential efficacy will be determined by examining trends in data on physical activity levels (achieving the goal of 150 minutes per week of physical activity (surveys and accelerometry)) between groups. Other secondary outcomes will also be assessed: weight status, body composition, blood pressure, insulin resistance, fitness levels, mental health, and infant anthropometrics. Clinical hypotheses: 1. The mHealth program will be feasible as evidenced by high rates of enrollment, retention, and adherence, moderate-to-high levels of satisfaction, and low participant burden. 2. The mHealth intervention will show promise towards improving physical activity levels and other secondary outcomes in pregnant and postpartum women in a rural community.
This study evaluates whether nifedipine or enalapril is better at decreasing the amount of medical resources used in the postpartum period by women who have high blood pressure in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Half of participants will receive enalapril while the other half will receive enalapril. We will compare the two groups in the amount of medical resources used which we are defining as prolonged hospitalizations, unscheduled medical visits and/or hospital readmissions in the postpartum period.
Background: Postpartum period is a physiologically, emotionally and socially critical period for the woman who gave birth and also for their family. In order for women to go through their postpartum period without any problems, be able to perform self-care and have an unaffected quality of life, they need qualified, comprehensive and integrative nursing care. Aim and objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of care given using Levine's conservation model on postpartum quality of life in primiparae. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Levine's conservation model was used as the theoretical framework for this study. A literature review was used to determine the contents of the intervention program. The program consisted of 8 sessions. The puerpera were given trainings on different subjects based on the module during each session. For these trainings, the researcher prepared, in the light of the literature data, leaflets containing information about breastfeeding, personal hygiene, fatigue, nutrition and pilates exercises. The puerpera in the control group received only the standard nursing care given after birth. Standard nursing care contain solely breastfeeding training.
Abstract Background: Postpartum contraception is important to prevent unintended and closely spaced pregnancies following childbirth. Methods: This study is a cluster-randomized trial of communities in rural Guatemala where women receive ante- and postnatal care through a community-based nursing program. When nurses visit women for their postpartum visit in the intervention clusters, instead of providing only routine care that includes postpartum contraceptive education and counseling, the nurses will also bring a range of barrier, short-acting, and long-acting contraceptives that will be offered and administered in the home setting, after routine clinical care is provided. Discussion: A barrier to postpartum contraception is access to medications and devices. The study removes some access barriers (distance, time, cost) by providing contraception in the home. The community nurses were trained to place implants, which are a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive method that was previously only available in the closest town, which is about an hour away by vehicle. Therefore, the study examines how home-based delivery of routinely available contraceptives and the less routinely available implant may be associated with increased uptake of postpartum contraception within three months of childbirth. The potential implications of this study include: nurses may be able to be trained to safely provide contraceptives, including place implants, in the home setting, and provision of home-based contraception may be an effective way of delivering an evidence-based intervention for preventing unintended and closely spaced pregnancies in the postpartum period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if shortening the time to initial postpartum visit from six weeks to two weeks can improve clinic visit attendance and decrease usage of the emergency department.
Immediately after cesarean birth, many women suffer from breastfeeding problems due to pain, fatigue, activity intolerance, anesthesia, and delayed onset of lactation. Because of these avoidable problems, the baby cannot get enough breast milk, and mothers' postpartum comfort decreases. This study aimed to investigate the effect of reflexology on lactation and postpartum comfort in primiparas giving births through cesarean section.
This study will prospectively measure the effectiveness of a core strengthening program on reducing the inter-rectus distance (IRD) and abdominal wall muscle contraction in postpartum women with diastasis rectus abdominus (DRA). Additionally, this study will aim to investigate and clarify the association between IRD and low back pain.
