The present study was designed to explore the experiences of Iranian postpartum women regarding physical recovery of perineal trauma after child birth. Methods: This qualitative content analysis was conducted on 22 postnatal women with perineal trauma during childbirth delivered in Ommol-banin hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between 20th of April to 25th of December 2017.  Participants were selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. To collect data face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted between 10 days to one year after childbirth. Data analysis was carried out using conventional content analysis recommended by Elo and Kyngas (2008) with MAXQDA software. Results: Physical recovery after perineal trauma was conceptualized as a journey toward normalization of body function to reach physical recovery. Two generic categories emerged from the data including (1) experience of illness and (2) physical rehabilitation. In the first phase, participants confronted many complications such as mobile restrictions, sexual disorders and symptoms of illness. Recovery was achieved by alleviating of these disorders and getting better. Improving physical functions helped to restore emotional recovery as well, when participants recaptured pervious sense of self (normalization), and regained their daily activities. Conclusion: Women, especially women with severe perineal trauma, in addition to the routine six-week post-partum care, need longer time of receiving care until completing the natural physical recovery process.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128483956","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}

Hence, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PNC non-utilization and its related factors among women in Osun State, Nigeria. Methods: This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design involving 380 women attending antenatal clinic at the primary health centers, using a multistage sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data which was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The IBM SPSS statistics version 20 was used. Results: About three-quarter (75.8%) of the respondents did not attend PNC services and 62.4% did not know the importance of attending PNC services. From multivariate analysis, six variables emerged as predictors of PNC non-utilization i.e. women with no health issues (OR: 7.57, 95% CI: 3.02–18.98), being in the age group 31 years and above (OR: 2.35, 95% CI: 1.21–4.58), no formal PNC clinic appointment (OR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.13–3.87), lower income (OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.10–3.56), lower parity (OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.04–3.71) and lack of knowledge of importance of PNC (OR:1.94, 95% CI: 1.06 – 3.56). Conclusion: There is a high level of non-utilization of PNC services among respondents. To increase the uptake of PNC services in Nigeria and improve mother and child health outcomes, public health programs should focus on educating women and significant others on the importance of PNC for mother and newborn.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115990589","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 burden of congenital malformation can be decreased through two major approaches- primary preventions among those at risk through antenatal screening and improving survival among those who are affected. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and readiness of midwives to practice antenatal screening and genetic testing for congenital abnormalities. \u0000Methods: A cross-sectional study among 245 midwives who were selected across five (5) maternal and child health government hospitals within Lagos metropolis using simple random sampling method. The validated self-administered questionnaire, with 0.74 reliability coefficient, was used to obtain information within a period of Five weeks, after obtaining ethical approval. The obtained information was analysed using SPSS version 22 and the result was presented on frequency-percentage tables and charts while the hypotheses were tested at p = 0.05 using chi-square test. \u0000Results: The study findings revealed that most of the midwives sampled (37.6%) were aged between 31 and 40years. Some (56.3%) of the respondents were Registered Nurses/Registered Midwives only. The highest category of year of experience was 6 to 10years with 32.7%. 62.9% of the midwives had inadequate knowledge of antenatal screening and genetic testing for congenital abnormalities. Nonetheless, up to, 82.4% were ready to practice antenatal screening and genetic testing for congenital abnormalities. The midwives’ level of knowledge was not significantly associated with their readiness to practice antenatal screening and genetic testing for congenital abnormalities (p=0.74), meanwhile, professional qualification (p = 0.003) and years of experience (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with readiness to practice antenatal screening and genetic testing. \u0000Conclusion: The study recommends that midwives should improve their knowledge and skills in genetic testing by attending both local and international training workshops/seminars.

Results: The prevalence rate of EBF among primiparous and multiparous mothers were 53% and 68%, respectively [OR= 1.88 (1.060, 3.349)]. Those primiparaous mothers who went for antenatal check-up (ANC) minimum four times or more during pregnancy had 2.71 odds (1.009, 7.297) and who delivered at the health care facility had 2.43 odds (0.828, 7.168) of practice more EBF compared to those who had ANC less than 4 times and delivered at home. However, among multiparaous mothers, Muslims mothers had 2.33 odds (0.962, 5.659) of practice more EBF than Hindus. Conclusion: The findings suggests that to improve the EBF rate among those who are not practicing EBF till six months of age, a special attention is needed to focus. Hence, community based awareness programme should be conducted frequently in the study area to promote EBF.","PeriodicalId":283698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery and reproductive health","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128011245","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}
