A total of 397 pregnant women who expressed hesitancy toward cesarean sections were enrolled during routine prenatal care visits at the country's largest hospital. They completed a questionnaire comprising 72 statements addressing potential reasons for hesitancy toward cesarean sections. Their responses were analyzed using factor analysis, and the effects of participants' demographic characteristics on scores for each factor were assessed using ANOVA. A seven-factor structure of motives was found: Fear of Death (endorsed by 92% of the sample); Regaining Autonomy Quickly (87%); Financial Concerns (74%); Fear of Stigmatization (73%); Fear of Unsupportive Reactions from Spouses and Relatives (72%); Prevention Through Spiritual Interventions (70%); and Perceived Health Risks for the Mother and Baby (40%). Scores on these factors were related to participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Effectively addressing the low uptake of cesarean section requires a multifaceted approach rather than one focused on a single barrier. Our findings suggest critical points that could help develop tailored interventions to address the various obstacles to this life-saving care.</p>","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"45 1","pages":"2423628"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142559262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is particularly prevalent among adolescent females who receive an insufficient diagnosis despite having potentially adverse consequences. The use of PCOS screening questionnaires has the potential to aid in the early detection of symptoms. The goal of this study is to observe if a self-administered questionnaire may be useful for a clear cognizance of the associated conditions like mental stress and menstrual characteristics correlated to polycystic ovary syndrome. In this study, we selected women within an age group of 17-40 with and without PCOS based on the modified Rotterdam criteria to fill out a self-administrated questionnaire based on the signs and symptoms of PCOS majorly focusing on mental stress and menstrual characteristics. SPSS software, univariate analyses were employed to elucidate the associations among the components of PCOS, demographic factors, and lifestyle characteristics, hence providing insights into the interrelationships among those variables. 64 women with PCOS and 141 women without PCOS participated in the present study. The present study revealed PCOS is greatly influenced by age at menarche (<i>p</i>-value= .043), typical cycle length (<i>p</i>-value = .000) mental health problems during menstruation (<i>p</i>-value = .032), and body mass index (<i>p</i>-value = .001). Multivariate hierarchical logistic regression analysis showed only 2 variables BMI (a-OR 1.156,95% CI (1.067-1.242), <i>p</i>-value = .000), and typical cycle length (a-OR 2.278, 95% CI (1.079-4.809), p-value = .003) were significant. The present study showed that BMI and menstrual cycle length were most closely associated with the incidence of PCOS, which is important in diagnosing and treating the condition. Considering the high incidence of PCOS among women of reproductive age and its potential for significant health implications, it would be prudent to incorporate inquiries regarding mental health concerns and menstrual patterns into routine medical assessments for this demographic analysis. This approach aims to ascertain whether additional diagnostic evaluations and screenings for PCOS are warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"45 1","pages":"2297166"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139040820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Longitudinal studies addressing the prevalence of psychological distress, anxiety, or psychosexual health during follow-up in patients diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumors are lacking. This study explores this prevalence compared with controls who underwent comparable surgical treatment for benign ovarian tumors. A prospective 1:1 nonmatched case-control study was set up, registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under number NCT04253327. Thirty early stage borderline ovarian tumor patients participated, and 30 controls were included. The study materials consisted of different questionnaires. A general one on patient's sociodemographic and medical information. A questionnaire about anxiety and distress made up of three validated questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and Body Image Scale. As last one the psychosexual health questionnaire consisted of the Female Sexual Function Index, the Female Sexual Distress Scale and two European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires. Both groups were comparable and did not differ significantly in terms of demographic characteristics. Patients with early stage borderline ovarian tumors experience a significant higher burden of mental health issues due to disease and treatment and/or are more worried about their future health. Surprisingly, both early stage borderline ovarian tumor patients and controls showed high levels of anxiety and moderate stress. Many patients in both groups experience sexual dysfunction and distress. These findings support active screening for anxiety, depression and psychosexual perturbance during postoperative follow-up to accommodate this.</p>","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"45 1","pages":"2404010"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142299780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
