Filter by:The objective of this observational study is to identify maternal and fetal characteristics that impact image quality in prenatal ultrasonography. The investigators have assembled a retrospective cohort of 198 patients, each contributing three ultrasound images taken between 18 and 18 weeks and 6 days of gestation. For each image, the investigators assess the quality of two distinct elements as well as the overall image through both subjective and objective evaluations. The primary questions the study seeks to address are: What maternal and fetal characteristics influence image quality in prenatal ultrasonography?
The study was conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled study to determine the effect of Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education on psychosocial outcomes in pregnant women. Pregnant women applied to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pregnancy Polyclinic and Faculty Member Polyclinic between 15.09.2021-28.06.2022. A total of 82 pregnant women were included in the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education for 8 weeks and the control group received Information-Based Childbirth Education for 4 weeks. Evaluation was performed in both groups before and after the training and at the end of the 4th postpartum week. The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale, Birth Self-Efficacy Scale and City Birth Trauma Scale.
There is a strong correlation between sleep disturbance and indications of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, in Egypt no research has looked into how better sleep for expectant mothers might be achieved by inexpensive, pleasurable, non-invasive music listening. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate how music listening affects pregnant women's psychological status, and sleep quality.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the telemedicine practices for contraceptive counseling given to pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does family planning counseling given to pregnant women by using telemedicine practices have an effect on the knowledge level about family planning? - Is family planning counseling given to pregnant women by using telemedicine practices effective on satisfaction with family planning services? Participants have attended to contraceptive counseling video call sessions provided via WhatsApp application and they have the opportunity to see the consultant and her materials during these sessions. After these sessions (two weeks later), contraceptive counseling video call session has been repeated, and at the end of this second session, women have been asked to answer the questions in the "Family Planning Knowledge Level Form" and the "Family Planning Services Satisfaction Scale". There is a comparison group (a control group) in this study, and no intervention was made to the women in the control group other than the routine services given in primary care settings. Researchers will compare the experimental group with control group to see if the telemedicine practices are effective in increasing the knowledge level of pregnant women about family planning and in the satisfaction of family planning services provided by primary health care settings.
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still represents a global health, social and economic emergency. In Italy, since the beginning of the pandemic, a total of 4,709,753 cases and 131,461 deaths have been recorded. The vaccination campaign against COVID-19, launched on 27 December 2020, has made it possible in Italy to achieve complete vaccination coverage (two doses) of 80.6% of the population aged > 12 years. The latest data on the impact of vaccination in preventing new infections, hospitalizations and deaths report a strong reduction in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people (78% for diagnosis, 92% for hospitalization, 95% for ICU admissions and 94% for deaths); most of the cases notified in the last 30 days in Italy have been diagnosed in unvaccinated people2. Evidence on the immunogenicity and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in pregnant women, although not deriving from clinical trials, is growing, even if not yet conclusive. On the efficacy of mRNA vaccines in pregnancy, a retrospective Israeli cohort study reported a significantly lower risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to unvaccinated women. Furthermore, a greater maternal and perinatal morbidity from COVID-19, also associated with the circulation of the Delta variant, has been highlighted by the recent analyzes of the English data, updated to 11 July 2021. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità, in the light of the growing evidence on the safety of vaccination during pregnancy for both the fetus and the mother, the new evidence relating to the greater morbidity associated with the Delta variant, the growing circulation of the same variant and the significant lowering of median age at infection in Italy, recommends extending the vaccine offer, with mRNA vaccines, to all pregnant women in the second and third trimester. Objectives of the study: Evaluate the quality in terms of reception of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine offer, the knowledge and attitudes towards the aforementioned vaccination by pregnant women who join the Vaccination Open Day and who access the FPG Covid Vaccination Center for this vaccination. Primary endpoint: Measuring acceptance of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine offer and knowledge about vaccination, by means of a questionnaire to be administered after vaccination.
Preeclampsia affects the sleep quality of pregnant women. With this study, it is expected that the sleep quality will be regulated by applying massage to pregnant women.
This research will be carried out in a quasi-experimental design to determine the effect of maternity care and neonatal care training given to primiparous pregnant women on parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period. Research Hypotheses: H0: There is no difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received training during pregnancy and did not. H1: There is a difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received and did not receive education during pregnancy.
Evidence exists on the vertical transmission of Streptococcus mutans from the mother to her children. This transmission can be prevented by maintaining maternal oral health during pregnancy.
This is a randomized controlled trial study with two arms teach-back group vs. controlled group. We decided the assignment of the women to each group by tossing a coin (heads for the teach-back group and tails for the control group). The women were informed about receiving education during the trial, but they were not aware of the forms and techniques used in the trial, nor were they aware if they were assigned to the teach-back group or control group. For the first two education sessions, the women were grouped based on the time of their recruitment, i.e., being the first recruited, being the first grouped and being the first to receive education. The educators were numbered from 1 to 8 according to their work shifts and were assigned to education sessions in sequence and cycle. For the third education session, the educators were assigned to contact women based on the matching of their work schedules. The women could be grouped with different peers and met different educators during the trial. In this way, we could reduce the possible influence of educators and group peers on the results of the trial.
From April 2021 to December 2021, 120 pregnant women who received intro fertilization (IVF) will be recuited. Among them, 60 of them would like to take Chinese medicine from the 2nd week after embryo transfer (intervention group), while the remaining 60 will not intake Chinese medicine (control group). Blood and feces samples will be collected in the early morning of the 4th and 6th week after embryo transfer to detect 16S DNA sequences in feces, plasma metabolites, and whole blood transcriptomics.
