In this randomized controlled trial, 50 pregnant women were allocated to an intervention (n = 25) or control (n = 25) group. The intervention included 12 hours of HypnoBirthing training over four weeks and oxytocin back massage during the final three weeks. Outcomes were assessed with validated instruments - Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire Form A/B, Birth Satisfaction Scale - Short Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale - Short Form, and Mother - Infant Attachment Scale - before intervention and one week postpartum. Compared with controls, the intervention group reported lower fear of childbirth (73.0 ± 5.7 vs 102.0 ± 10.5; p < .001) and higher birth satisfaction (27.1 ± 3.6 vs 13.5 ± 4.6; p < .001), breastfeeding self-efficacy (50.8 ± 7.6 vs 35.4 ± 5.9; p < .001), and mother - infant attachment (16.3 ± 2.5 vs 11.8 ± 2.1; p < .001). Integrating HypnoBirthing training and oxytocin (back) massage into routine prenatal care may reduce fear of childbirth, improve birth satisfaction, enhance breastfeeding self-efficacy, and promote early mother - infant attachment. The program appears feasible, low-cost, and deliverable by midwives within standard antenatal education. These findings reinforce the value of incorporating such non-pharmacological, supportive techniques into prenatal education and care to promote maternal well-being and early bonding.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"719-728"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates factors associated with unmet FP need among married women, using data from the 2020 SDHS. We analyzed data from 1,074 married women (15-49 years), categorizing unmet FP need into spacing, limiting, and met need. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the associations between sociodemographic factors and these categories, reporting Adjusted Odds Ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Older women had significantly lower odds of unmet need for limiting compared to younger women (e.g. AOR 0.04 for 45-49 age group vs. 15-19). Conversely, the desire for more children strongly predicted unmet need for limiting. Women desiring children after two years (AOR 19.75), those undecided (AOR 23.27), and those wanting no more children (AOR 1.76) all showed significantly higher odds of unmet need for limiting compared to those desiring children within two years. The high unmet FP need among married Somali women is primarily linked to desires for delayed or limited childbearing. This underscores the need for culturally sensitive interventions that prioritize women's reproductive intentions and further research to identify specific barriers.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"729-744"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145287355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Mendelian randomization (MR) study employed two-sample analyses to explore the associations between endometriosis and disease outcomes using data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The primary analysis method was the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, which was supplemented by weighted median, weighted mode, and MR Egger methods. Our primary analysis revealed no significant causal association between endometriosis and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, including CVD, HF, stroke, ischemic stroke, and hypertension. Despite initial indications of a possible genetic link between endometriosis and AF (OR = 132.357; 95 percent CI: 1.126 -15,551.291; p = .045), this association was not robust. Sensitivity tests, including the \"leave-one-out\" analysis, showed the results to be unstable, and MR-weighted median analyses confirmed the lack of consistency in these findings. This MR study does not support a causal role of endometriosis in major cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. The unstable association with AF may reflect residual pleiotropy or limited power, underscoring the need for validation in larger, diverse cohorts.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"582-593"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144733619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is estimated that millions of women are affected by this. Despite global attempts to eradicate this behavior, it continues to be prevalent, causing severe psychological and social repercussions for those affected. Noteworthy effects encompass anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, infections, and complications related to childbirth. The purpose of this scoping review, conducted against this background, was to comprehensively examine and synthesize the available research on the psychosocial effects of FGM in sub-Saharan Africa, while also identifying key themes and gaps in the literature. To incorporate the latest research, the review encompassed a ten-year period from 2014 to 2024. The study adopted the Arksey and O'Malley methodology and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines for comprehensive analysis and reporting. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms, Boolean keywords, and truncations were utilized to search relevant studies in selected databases. The consulted databases included Academic Search Ultimate, APA PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, Global Health, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE, and Taylor and Francis Online. The identified studies were crosschecked by conducting a manual search on Google Scholar and Google. The results showed that victims of FGM experience numerous negative psychosocial consequences. Community-based education programs, support groups for victims, increased resources, sensitively trained healthcare professionals, and strict enforcement of FGM laws are all essential in addressing this conundrum. Conducting longitudinal studies is suggested to track victims' long-term psychosocial effects.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"618-637"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144971881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measures were taken at baseline, four weeks post-intervention, and within 24 hours postpartum. At baseline, both groups had similar scores in fear of childbirth, childbirth self-efficacy, and birth beliefs (p > .05). After the intervention, the intervention group had significantly lower mean scores for fear of childbirth (18.17 ± 3.51) compared to the control group (55.12 ± 7.23).

A literature search was conducted across six electronic databases. Five randomized controlled trials were included in the qualitative synthesis and four were eligible for meta-analysis. All studies had some concerns for risk of bias. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. Zinc supplementation reduced total PMS scores and emotional symptoms with moderate certainty of evidence, while physical symptoms were supported by low certainty of evidence. Meta-analyses revealed that zinc supplementation significantly reduced total PMS scores (Hedges's g = -0.384), emotional symptoms (g = -0.347), and physical symptoms (g = -0.512), all favoring the intervention. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of results for the total and emotional domains, but the effect sizes for physical symptoms were moderately influenced by individual studies. In conclusion, zinc supplementation shows promise as a non-pharmacological intervention for reducing PMS. However, its generalizability is limited by the small number of trials and methodological heterogeneity. Further, multicenter RCTs with standardized protocols are warranted to establish clinical utility and explore dose - response relationships.","PeriodicalId":23972,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health","volume":" ","pages":"571-581"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144754627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
