Abstract

Background: Late maternal deaths have been associated with psychiatric disorders such as perinatal depression and their prevention is an important issue within perinatal healthcare. Sleep disturbance can be a chronic stressor, and chronic stress can lead to depression. Sleep disturbances during pregnancy, as a lifestyle factor, are associated with postpartum depression. Depression could be assessed using prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) levels. Compared to sleep prior to pregnancy, shorter sleep duration and poorer sleep efficiency in the postpartum period have been reported. The association of breastfeeding, sleep habits, baby care, stress and depressive symptoms have not been examined. Purpose: This case series describes changes in sleep quality, stress, and depressive symptoms of perinatal women. Methods: This was a longitudinal case study. Pregnant women, who consented to participate, were followed between the third trimester of pregnancy and four month postpartum. This study was approved by the Ethical Review Committee of the Kagawa Prefectural University of Health Sciences (No.350). Results: The Japan Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (JPSQI) scores decreased over the postpartum period. However, there were temporarily higher JPSQI scores in the early postpartum period. Sleep duration and sleep efficiency improved two months postpartum. No participant scored ?9 on the Japanese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (J-EPDS) from the third trimester of pregnancy to four months postpartum. Two samples had temporarily higher J-EPDS scores from two weeks to one month postpartum, showing a sharp drop at two months postpartum. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores and urine biopyrin (UBP) levels decreased, while PGD2 levels increased over the postpartum period. Conclusion: Sleep quality and depressive symptoms improved over time postpartum. Improved sleep quality reduces stress, as shown by decreased levels of an oxidative stress marker with improved sleep quality. PGD2 and UBP are useful biomarkers to assess sleep quality and stress, respectively.

Abstract

Background: Women of childbearing age with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are very susceptible to menstrual disorders, stress, and infertility. Psychological comorbidities are also common in women with PCOS, which impair overall quality of life. Although there has been a review of PCOS, it is not related to mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to review articles on mental health for women with PCOS. Purpose: To determine the mental health of women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Methods: This literature review applied a scoping review approach adapted to the PRISMA-ScR checklist framework. Three databases were used in the review, namely Pubmed, ESHRE, and SciencDirect. Prisma Flowchart was used for article seletion and the critical appraisal referred to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. Results: The database search resulted in 253 relevant topics and generated 10 most relevant articles to the research objectives as the final results. These researches were conducted in various countries using various approaches ranging from qualitative research, cross-sectional study, case control, cohort, and RCT. Three themes were obtained from the data base mapping, namely determinants, effectiveness, and mental health impacts on PCOS women Conclusion: Women with PCOS mostly suffered from psychological disorders, especially at the level of anxiety. There is a correlation between mental health and PCOS, which results in decreased quality of life due to stress/depression, increased anxiety, and poor sleep quality. In this case, Pioglitazone Metformin (PM) is not a sufficient treatment for the symptoms, and thus additional therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is needed as assistance.

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is important for maintaining and promoting lifelong health and bonding between mother and child. Professional support in the early postpartum period is key to successful breastfeeding. Mothers usually learn parenting skills in the early postpartum period, but mothers with intellectual disabilities (IDs) require special consideration due to their low learning ability. The views of midwives and public health nurses regarding breastfeeding support for mothers with intellectual disabilities in the early postpartum period need to be clarified. Purpose: The study aimed to describe the perspectives of nurse-midwives (NMWs) and public health nurses (PHNs) on breastfeeding for mothers with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Data obtained from semi-structured interviews with five NMWs and five PHNs with experience in caring for postpartum mothers with IDs were analysed using a conventional content analysis approach. Results: The analysis yielded two categories ‘Determining whether breastfeeding is the best’ for NMWs and ‘Desire for strengthened support for establishing breastfeeding during postpartum hospitalization’ for PHNs. The former comprised three subcategories: ‘Effects of complications and abnormal deliveries’, ‘Evaluation of adaptability’, and ‘Evaluation of support person's capability’, while the latter consisted of ‘Focus on the advantages of breastfeeding’, ‘Focus on the disadvantages of artificial breastfeeding’, and ‘Desire for NMWs’ support during postpartum hospitalization to establish breastfeeding’. It was established that NMWs had short-term perspectives that considered the physical trauma and fatigue sustained by mothers during childbirth and they tried to minimize their physical and emotional burden, whereas PHNs had long-term perspectives that considered the impact of breastfeeding on children’s future. Conclusion: Successful breastfeeding by mothers with IDs requires a change in NMWs’ awareness and the development of a system and instructional media that enable NMWs to perform their responsibilities in accordance with the basic principles of breastfeeding. Additionally, policies are required to promote this practice.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered increased anxiety and depression in pregnant women, while the ability of health workers to detect early symptoms of anxiety and depression in pregnancy remains poor. Expert system transfers expert intelligence into a computer to provide prediction and interpretation of mental health screening results. This expert system provides easy access to mental health services for pregnant women and reduces the workload for health workers so that obstacles to access to services during and after the COVID-19 pandemic can be resolved. Objectives: We propose a conceptual model based on expert systems to allow early detection of anxiety and depression symptoms in pregnancy. Methods: In this model, a systematic literature review was used to choose the instrument for the expert system. Next, to assess symptoms of anxiety and depression in pregnancy, we designed a decision table and produced an algorithm in a screening chart using the rule-based expert system procedure. Results: Based on the results of the systematic literature review, there were 15 studies that had validated the screening instrument for symptoms of anxiety and depression in pregnant women. The results of the systematic review stated that the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) had good sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, EPDS that be used in mental health screening based of expert system. Acquiring experts’ knowledge into a computer program, seven algorithms were designed on screening chart to detect anxiety and or depression symptoms in pregnancy. Conclusion: We illustrate that mental health screening in pregnancy using EPDS based on an expert system will provide accessibility of health services, accurate and fast results, a new approach for maternal mental health care, and avenues for future research.

Abstract

Background: The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was truly extraordinary. Not only affecting the health sector or the economy, this outbreak also has an impact on population problems. The decrease in access to health services was not only for ill patients visits, but also the new or old family planning acceptor due to the fear of exposure to illness. Women of childbearing age are predicted to experience unmet need and unwanted pregnancies. This condition was exacerbated by the public's ignorance of accessing family planning counseling services to clinicians/midwives. Therefore, to bridge the needs of prospective family planning acceptors to get assistance in accessing family planning services, a family planning tele-counseling model was developed. Purpose: We aimed to develop a family planning tele-counseling service model. Methods: It was a qualitative study design. Data obtained from snowball sampling technique. Women of reproductive age in the Pasteur subdistrict, Bandung City was interviewed to build themes. The themes obtained were drafted to build a family planning tele-counseling model using a narrative literature review approach. Result: Generated themes that build models of family planning tele-counseling. Conclusion: Family planning tele-counseling was the development of services that were already needed by the community.
