Due to the importance of midwifery students having sufficient breastfeeding knowledge and non‐judgmental attitudes prior to graduation, this study aimed to examine the attitudes towards infant feeding of midwifery students.Methods: This survey was conducted at Health Sciences University in Ankara, Turkey in June 2021. The study was carried out on 212 midwifery students in total who agreed to take part in the study. Data was collected using the Student Information Form and IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale, which were completed electronically through WhatsApp messenger and analyzed using SPSS Version 22.00.Results: The mean age of the students was 20.40±1.25. The mean score of IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was 66.18±5.52 out of 87. There was a statistically significant difference found between the mean scores of the students in the infant feeding attitude scale and their grade in school (p<0.001), receiving information in related classes (p<0.005), attending courses in the related subject (p=0.044), taking additional classes (p<0.001), and feeling themselves sufficient in terms of knowledge (p=0.009). There was no statistically significant difference with the status to give counseling.Conclusion: Midwifery students had positive attitudes towards infant feeding. It is, therefore, suggested to present an educational curriculum that supports and encourages breastfeeding in midwifery programs and to evaluate students' attitudes towards infant feeding in order to train professional midwives who will encourage families to breastfeed in the future.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114762181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So the present study was conducted to investigate the causes of abortions in pregnant women referring to Shiraz educational and medical centers.Methods: : In this cross-sectional study, 437 woman who had an abortion, were selected by examining 5176 pregnant women using sequential sampling method during 4 months from educational and forensic medicine centers in Shiraz, Iran, in 2017. A self-structured questionnaire including demographic characteristics and obstetric data was completed for each mother. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics.Results: Out of 88 abortions with a legal permission from the forensic medicine, 9.1% were due to maternal illness and 90.9% were due to fetal disease, the most common cause of which was fetal cranial and cerebral disorders (17.1%). Out of 105 cases of spontaneous abortion, 8 cases were due to maternal cause (the most common cause of uterine defects (4.8%) and 97 cases were due to fetal cause. Out of 244 induced abortions with obstetric indication, the most common cause was missed abortion (32%).Conclusion: In all three types of abortion, fetal causes were the most common cause of abortion. It seems that education, access to information and awareness raising activities involving the whole community will have a significant effect on preventing the occurrence of abnormalities. Emphasis is placed on the importance of conducting prenatal screening before 20 weeks of gestation.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125115115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate Midwifery Vocational Perception Scale.Methods: This validation study was carried out at five public hospitals located in Istanbul, Turkey from October 1st to December 30th, 2019. In the first stage, 68 items draft form was prepared. After receiving the opinion of seven experts, the face validity of the scale was tested with 20 midwives. In the second stage, the 5-point 52-item Likert scale was administered to 282 midwives. However, since the outliers were deleted before the factor analysis, the analysis was performed for only the data of 232 people. Factor and confirmatory analyses and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient were used to analyze the scale validity and reliability.Results: According to the exploratory factor analysis, the scale consisted of 16 items and three factors that explained 53.085% of the the scale variance. Confirmatory factor analysis fit index results were found as CMIN=175,427, DF=97, p<0.001, CMIN/DF=1.809, RMSEA=0.059, CFI=0.933, GFI= 0.916. The Cronbach’s alpha value of scale was determined to be 0.865. The lowest anyone scored was 16, the highest was 80, while the mean score was 87.71 ±7.46 (min: 67, max: 95).Conclusion: A high score indicates positive vocational perception and occupational opinions in midwifery, while a low score indicates negative vocational perception and occupational opinions.

The patient was initially managed for HELLP syndrome, but due to the atypical presentation (low blood pressure and an episode of delirium when admitted), the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) was requested for the patient that was positive.

In this cross-sectional survey, the students were randomly selected and invited by email to participate in the study.

The prevalence of sexual abstinence was significantly different among females and males (P<0.05). Fears of pregnancy (37.5%) and HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases (32.8%) were the common reasons for not having sex. Income was also significantly associated with sexual abstinence in university students (P<0.01).Conclusion: Overall, the prevalence of sexual abstinence was low in American university students. Comprehensive sex education should be considered as precedence in this population, particularly among the younger university students.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114997879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Occurance of unintended first pregnancy due to changes in women's life-style following COVID-19 pandemic has led to more stress, anxiety, and uncertainty pregnant women. Therefore, the current research aspires to examine how progressive muscle relaxation intervention and imagery-based relaxation technique can affect the psychological characteristics of women with unintended first pregnancy during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This single-blind, parallel groups, pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 women with first unwanted pregnancy who attended the urban clinics in Semnan, Iran in 2020, and were assigned to experimental and control groups. Tools for measurement included a demographic questionnaire as well as Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21). In the experimental group, women were given 8 weeks of progressive muscle relaxation and imagery-based relaxation intervention; while women in the control group only received the routine care. One day before and one day after the intervention, DASS-21 was completed by the subjects.Results: The results of the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that after 8 weeks of intervention, the level of anxiety (P=0.0001), depression (P=0.0001) and stress (P=0.0001) decreased in the experimental group in comparison with the control group (P≤0.016).
