Filter by:With this study the investigators aim to examine through a mixed method study the feasibility, usability and satisfaction with the developed online tool for perinatal mental health problems. This will be done through a pre- and post measurement of depressive and anxiety symptoms and the use of the tool itself. In addition, a qualitative thematic analysis will be conducted on the clarity, understandability and user-friendliness of the tool.
It is the right of both the mother and her baby to receive the best care and give birth in the best way possible for every pregnant woman. World Health Organization midwife; It defines a person trained to provide necessary care and counseling during pregnancy, at birth and after birth, to have normal births under his own responsibility, to care for the newborn and to provide family planning counseling. According to the Ministry of Health, the midwife provides these services as well as immunization, protection from infectious and social diseases, etc. He is a healthcare professional who fulfills his roles. However, in our country, pregnancy, birth and postpartum care services are primarily carried out under the control of a physician, and most of them include medical follow-up. The routine care given by midwives to pregnant women during pregnancy is unfortunately limited to performing the procedures and cannot adequately meet the needs of the woman. As a result, cesarean section rates in our country have risen well above the acceptable level by WHO. Studies have shown that the rate of cesarean section increases with the number of pregnant women who apply to the doctor for pregnancy control. Turkey is the country with the highest cesarean section rates among OECD countries. According to the 2018 results of the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TNSA), the rate of cesarean section in our country is 52%. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended 10-15% cesarean section rate in terms of maternal and infant health in 1985, and re-evaluated this recommendation in 2015. Women who have had a cesarean delivery have greater risks compared to women who have had a vaginal delivery. One of the most common complications after cesarean section is sepsis, and maternal mortality rates increase due to complications such as bleeding and infection after cesarean section. In addition, the choice of cesarean section, which negatively affects many variables such as epigenetically transmitted fear of birth and traumatic birth perception, breastfeeding and microbiota of the baby, is an important factor that will affect future generations. Cesarean section rates, which also cause high maternal and neonatal complication rates, have become a problem that increases health expenditures economically all over the world. However, cesarean section rates are decreasing in countries where midwives play an active role in pregnancy follow-up. In the midwife-led continuous care model (MLCC), which is carried out by midwives, especially in countries with high normal birth rates, care is completely woman-centered. The model advocates vaginal delivery, which is the most superior form of delivery for maternal and infant health. Studies show that midwife-led continuous care increases vaginal birth rates, women experience a more positive birth, and reduces many unnecessary medical interventions. Within the scope of this care model, midwives train pregnant women from the beginning of pregnancy to the postpartum period and minimize their fear of childbirth based on the fear of the unknown. Another advantage of MLCC is that care will be given by the same midwife or midwife group. This ensures a good bond and uninterrupted communication between the woman and her midwife. This maintenance model is not yet used in our country. The study to be carried out with this training process planned within the scope of MLCC is unique in that it will be carried out for the first time at the national level. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of training to be given with MLCC in reducing cesarean section preferences.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the impact of a parental support package for new trainee mothers which focuses on mentorship, lactation, and sleep, and access to perinatal care. The main questions it aims to answer are whether this set of interventions will improve trainee wellbeing and decrease medical error. Participants will be randomized to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive: 1. A Snoo smart sleep bassinet 2. A Willow wearable breast pump 3. Access to Maven Clinic for 24/7 on-demand perinatal care 4. A faculty mentor in their own department The control group will receive the standard support currently offered by training programs. All participants will wear a Fitbit to track sleep and will take a series of surveys querying pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences; wellbeing; and professional satisfaction. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if the intervention group has: 1. decreased rates of burnout 2. increased professional fulfillment 3. decreased thoughts of leaving the profession 4. increased perception of organizational and personal value alignment 5. increased sleep 6. decreased risk of medical errors 7. increased personal fulfillment of breastfeeding goals 8. decreased risk of postpartum depression
The frequency of women presenting with a combination of uterine fibroids and pregnancy is in-creasing nowadays. Uterine fibroids in pregnancy are an unfavorable condition in themselves and being reactive to hormonal stimuli, tending to grow, can generate symptoms of different lev-els of severity. Obstetrics and gynecologists are increasingly faced with the problem of clarifying the management tactics of pregnant patients with symptomatic fibroids, who may see their preg-nancy put at risk by these masses.
This research study aims to learn more about opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy and how outcomes for pregnant women and their newborns can be improved. During pregnancy, people with OUD are prescribed medication-assisted therapy (MAT). The investigators are interested to know how the medication is broken down by the body during pregnancy and how effective it is. The investigators also want to learn if this medication and OUD have any effect on the different parts of the brain when compared to mothers without OUD.
The purpose of this study is to validate the accuracy of the CONNEQT Pulse blood pressure monitoring system for the measurement of blood pressure as compared to a gold standard, auscultatory sphygmomanometer in a pregnant population.
Prospective Validation of the ADNEX Model for discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses in pregnancy: International Ovarian Tumour Analysis in pregnancy study (p-IOTA)
To evaluate whether single euploid embryo transfer in NC without routinely administered LPS is non-inferior to NC with routinely administered LPS.
The role of motherhood; Motherhood can be defined as a learning process that includes knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors of a woman who has been handed down from generation to generation. Mother-infant attachment; At the behavioral and emotional level, it is the mother's attachment to her baby, which becomes stronger as the pregnant woman's body changes, her uterus expands and the mother begins to feel fetal movements. The fact that women adopt the role of motherhood throughout pregnancy is very important for attachment behaviors and infant attachment patterns in the early and late postpartum period.
Serological positivity for anti Ro-SSA antibodies is frequently found in pathologies such as Sjogren's Syndrome and SLE. Worldwide, approximately 0.5-1% of women of reproductive age are positive for Ro-SSA antibodies, and in 1-2% of these women, pregnancy will be complicated by cardiac abnormalities of the fetus, particularly varying degrees of atrioventricular block. It is essential to promptly identify patients with fetal heart rhythm abnormalities to prevent both intrauterine deaths and the birth of newborns with third-degree atrioventricular block, requiring lifelong cardiac pacing. At the moment, the only means to identify these alterations is represented by fetal cardiac ultrasound. Fetal atrioventricular block can develop within a few hours in these patients and fetal ultrasound, normally performed no more frequently than once every two weeks, does not allow for the timely identification of these conditions and therefore for pharmacological intervention. Using home fetal heart rate monitoring, carried out directly by patients three times a day with the aid of a special device that allows easy identification of the fetal heart rhythm, would allow rapid recognition of rhythm alterations and early access to confirmation tests and possible therapies. Fetal heart rhythm surveillance could detect a medically reversible disease that, if untreated, would progress to lifelong cardiac pacing, with its many associated comorbidities. Applying such protocol in pregnant women anti-Ro/SSA positive could become standard practice. The main objectives of this study are: - Estimation of the incidence of the development of fetal AV conduction abnormalities in patients with positivity for Ro/SSA autoantibodies; - Estimation of the reliability of home monitoring of fetal heart rate with fetal Doppler device in detecting fetal atrioventricular conduction disturbances; - Evaluation of the results of the therapy administered early, immediately after the diagnosis of fetal atrioventricular conduction disorders.
