Data were collected through 15 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and 15 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with stakeholders in Gilgit-Baltistan, using purposive sampling. The researchers revealed low community awareness of mental health and a lack of diagnostic and treatment services for women. Financial, sociocultural, and environmental factors, along with gender discrimination, poverty, and violence, worsened women's mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic further escalated issues due to lockdowns, school closures, increased workload, and reduced income. The authors' results suggest that women living in rural Pakistan face a significant burden of mental health challenges, coupled with obstacles that limit their access to treatment. The authors underscored the need for both universal and targeted interventions to address mental health challenges among rural women.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029915","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}

We conducted an extensive search across numerous databases to identify eligible studies from inception to April 2024. Researchers included randomized trials that compared VR intervention during NSTs in the third trimester with control groups. Data were analyzed through meta-analysis using Revman software. We identified four trials, encompassing 681 patients, that met the inclusion criteria. The VR group had significantly reduced anxiety levels and increased maternal satisfaction during NSTs. Furthermore, the VR group demonstrated higher basal fetal heart rate and more accelerations compared to the control group. Pregnant women in the VR group were also more likely to achieve a reactive NST, with a shorter duration of reactivity. Overall, VR use during NSTs effectively reduces maternal anxiety, enhances satisfaction, and improves fetal physiological parameters.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029955","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}

Consequently, breastfeeding while in hospital is still so low that problems arise after being discharged from the hospital. Researchers aimed to analyze the relationship between family support, personal communication, shared decision making, and breastfeeding in low birth weight babies. This study was a cross-sectional design conducted in three hospitals in the East Java province of Indonesia. Two-hundred mothers who have babies were selected as samples using simple random sampling. The variables were collected by a questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using path analysis. Breastfeeding showed a direct and positive relationship with shared decision making (b = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.25 to 0.81; p = <0.001). Shared decision making was directly and positively related with personal communication (b = 0.67; 95% CI = 0.56 to 0.77; p = <0.001). Personal communication showed a direct and positive relationship with family support (b = 0.40 95% CI = 0.24 to 0.57; p = <0.001). Yet, breastfeeding showed an indirect relationship with family support and personal communication. Breastfeeding increases with shared decision making and excellent personal communication between nurses and mothers. Personal communication will increase when getting support from the family.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"45-57"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9557932","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}
