This study sought to explore the effectiveness of behavioral counseling in improving the QoL of Omani women with UI. Methods : This cross-sectional interventional study was performed between July 1 , 2020 at the Al Mabila Health Center, a primary health care (PHC) center in Muscat, Oman. A total of 20adult Omani women who screened positive for UI using a modified 4-item version of the Short-Form Urinary Distress Inventory were recruited. Four separate 40-60-minute counseling sessions were conducted over the 12-month study period, focusing on lifestyle modifications, bladder training, and Kegel exercises. A validated Arabic version of the 7-item Incontinence Impact Questionnaire was used to determine the pre-post intervention impact of UI on general QoL as well as four specific domains of living (ability to perform daily prayers, physical activities, social life, and mental health). Results : The behavioral counseling sessions had a significant positive impact on overall QoL (t 19 = 12.03; p <0.001) as well as all four domains of living, including ability to perform daily prayers (t 19 = 6.30; p <0.001), daily physical activities (t 19 =7.51; p <0.001), social life (t 19 =9.38; p <0.001), and mental health (t 19 = 18.38; p <0.001). Conclusions : This study provides evidence to support the impact of behavioral counseling in tackling UI as a public health concern in Oman. These findings may help to form the basis for implementing cost-effective health education and counseling programs at PHC centers in Oman in order to improve women’s QoL and other metrics of community health. . the impact of the intervention on four specific of including the ability to perform prayers,","PeriodicalId":362642,"journal":{"name":"Medicon Medical Sciences","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114622919","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}

Iron deficiency and folate deficiency are considered as two important causes for nutritional anaemia. During pregnancy there is an increase in the iron and folate requirements, therefore, the likelihood of presenting iron and folate deficiency is high, if there is no supplementation during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of structured education with telephone support (SETS) on knowledge on anaemia among antenatal women. An Experimental pretest posttest control group design was used for this study in which 100 antenatal women of 20-30 weeks of gestation from antenatal outpatient department of tertiary care hospital were selected using consecutive sampling technique. A structured questionnaire to assess knowledge on anaemia was used. Structured education on first day followed by telephonic support once in 3 days for a period of 3 months for the study group and routine care for the control group was given. The study revealed around 50% of the antenatal women were anaemic and knowledge level improved after structured education with telephone support. Structured Education with Telephone Support had a positive effect on improving knowledge on anaemia among antenatal women. The nurses must conduct periodic analysis of antenatal women’s knowledge on anaemia and adherence to iron folate supplementation and educate them throughout their pregnancy period for their compliance with the medication. of gestation, abortion, high risk during present and past pregnancy, haemoglobin level at present. women during pregnancy. The present study has shown that 36% of the antenatal women had inadequate knowledge regarding anaemia. The nurses must conduct periodic analysis of antenatal women’s knowledge on anaemia and educate them throughout their pregnancy period for their compliance with the medication. The study can be done in community setup with larger sample size and comparison between primigravida mothers and multigravida mothers can be done.","PeriodicalId":362642,"journal":{"name":"Medicon Medical Sciences","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124748429","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}
