Two subthemes demonstrated how increased awareness of risk affected their experience and their desire regarding antenatal and postnatal support. Women talked about stillbirth being a \"quiet, unspoken subject\" causing them internal conflict as they had an awareness of pregnancy complications that other people did not. Navigating subsequent pregnancies relied on them \"expecting the worst and hoping for the best\" in terms of pregnancy outcomes. Women viewed specialist antenatal care in pregnancy after perinatal loss favorably, as it enabled them to receive tailored care that met their needs stemming from their increased awareness of and personal expectations of risk.Conclusion: Women's experiences can be used to develop models of care but further studies are required to determine to identify which components are most valued.","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"43 4","pages":"557-562"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10432964","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}

However, another etymologic derivative of “hyster” is hysteria with hysterikos and hystericus being terms that referred to neurotic conditions being from the womb and as such being a disease of women [1]. In ancient times Egyptians and Greeks believed that the “hysterical disorder” was caused because the womb was moving throughout a woman’s body [2]. In the fifth century, BCE Hippocrates coined the word “hysteria” [1]. Whereas the uterus has been historically equated with womanhood, motherhood, and female sexuality, \"Hysteria\" has negative connotations of emotional instability, lack of control, and other behavioral symptoms [2]. Thus, the ancient Greeks and Romans left us with an association between undesirable emotions and the uterus. To highlight the relevance of this association, historically, physicians recommended a hysterectomy as a potential cure for hysteria [2]. It should also be noted that until 1980, hysteria was a formally recognized psychological disorder that could be found in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) [3].","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"43 4","pages":"601-602"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10433194","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}

This study aimed to investigate hopelessness and depression in infertile women whose treatment has been delayed due to COVID-19.Methods: This case-control study was conducted online on 172 infertile women. The case group included infertile women under treatment whose treatment was delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the control group was selected from infertile women who were not under infertile treatment. This study was conducted between April and December 2021 in Jahrom, Iran. Beck hopelessness standard questionnaire (BHS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to collect data, and p < 0.05 was considered significant.Results: The mean score of hopelessness in women in the case group was 9.48 ± 1.80 compared to the control group 8.66 ± 1.34 (OR = 1.39 95% CI = 1.13-1.71), and its areas (OR = 1.33 95% CI = 1.003-2.43), Emotions and expectations score (OR = 1.59 95% CI = 1.07-2.37), Motivation loss score (OR = 2.02 95% CI = 1.49-2.73), Hope score, and depression in women in the case group was 40.33 ± 10.87to 36.72 ± 11.40 compared to the control (OR = 1.17 95% CI = 1.11-1.23). All these variables showed an increase in the case group compared to the control group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The results showed that infertile women whose treatment was delayed were more frustrated and depressed than women in the control group.

Therefore, the psychological effects of this epidemic on infertile women should not be ignored, so planners should put social and family support at the top of the program.","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"43 4","pages":"495-501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10437498","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}

This study reports psychometric properties of the Pandemic-Related Postpartum Stress Scale (PREPS-PP) among women who were administered this instrument at either of two postpartum timepoints.Results: At both timepoints (n = 1301 and n = 1009), CFAs revealed good model fit of the same three-factor structure identified for the prenatal PREPS (Preparedness Stress, Infection Stress, and Positive Appraisal). All PREPS-PP subscales demonstrated good reliability (α's .78-87). Higher levels of Preparedness Stress and Infection Stress were associated with greater health and financial burdens and psychological distress.Conclusions: The PREPS-PP is a reliable and valid measure of postpartum stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of this study was to compare the sense of control of women who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic with women who gave birth before COVID-19. The secondary objective was to identify other factors independently associated with women's sense of control during birth.Methods: A prospective cohort study, in a sub-cohort of 504 women from a larger cohort (Continuous Care Trial (CCT), n = 992), was conducted. Sense of control was measured by the Labor Agentry Scale (LAS). Perinatal factors independently associated with women's sense of control during birth were identified using multiple linear regression.Results: Giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic did not influence women's sense of control during birth. Factors statistically significantly related to women's sense of control were Dutch ethnic background (β 4.787, 95%-CI 1.319 to 8.254), antenatal worry (β - 4.049, 95%-CI -7.516 to -.581), antenatal anxiety (β - 4.677, 95%-CI -7.751 to 1.603) and analgesics during birth (β - 3.672, 95%-CI -6.269 to -1.075).Conclusions: Despite the introduction of restrictions, birth during the COVID-19 pandemic was not associated with a decrease of women's sense of control.","PeriodicalId":50072,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"43 4","pages":"464-473"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10798584","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}

A 24-item self-administered questionnaire measured knowledge and attitudes to SEF. Responses were as yes/no or a 4-point Likert scale.Results: Only 40% of participants accurately indicated that having a sexual partner does not help to preserve their fertility. A quarter of women correctly recalled chance of pregnancy with unprotected intercourse during a period of a year, for women 20 to 40 years old. Only one-third of respondents accurately identified the age-related fertility decline at 35-39 years. Only 6.9% correctly mentioned the low chance of pregnancy after egg freezing at 35 years old. Almost a third of women knew that the age range of 31-35 years is the right age to freeze an egg with the highest chance of pregnancy. Aging and health of offspring were most influential in women's decisions on SEF.Conclusion: In conclusion, there was significant gaps in knowledge about age-related fertility decline, and egg cryopreservation conditions and its complications.
