PSUI patients (total = 256) were randomly selected into a control group and study group. The control group adopted pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training only while the study group added Buzhong Yiqi decoction and biofeedback electrical stimulation. The degree of urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor muscle tension, urodynamics, therapeutic effectiveness, quality of life along with incidence of adverse reactions in the two 2 groups were compared. The results showed that after therapy, in contrast to the control group, the study group presented improved degree of urinary incontinence, higher muscle strength of class I along with class II muscle fibers, better pelvic floor muscle tension, better urodynamics indicators, better treatment efficiency, and higher quality of life. We concluded that Buzhong Yiqi decoction combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation can improve urinary incontinence, promote the pelvic floor muscle strength along with promote the quality of life in PSUI patients.","PeriodicalId":7551,"journal":{"name":"African journal of reproductive health","volume":"28 11","pages":"196-204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930432","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}

This study aimed to assess middle-aged teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and quality of life-related to menopause after receiving education on health-promoting lifestyle modification. A quasi-experimental Time Series design with pre-intervention, immediate, post-intervention, and a three-month follow-up was employed in this study. Through a purposive sampling technique, 84 middle-aged teachers were selected. A pre-designed questionnaire was used to gather information on knowledge, attitude, and the Menopause Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) on menopause. The health-promoting lifestyle modification education was given through lectures and group discussions. Using SPSS version 22, repeated measure ANOVA was used to assess the impact of educational instruction at the three time periods. The mean knowledge score was 3.6±1.2 at the pre-intervention, 21.3±1.6 at the immediate post-intervention, and 24.4±1.3 at the 3-month follow-up. With a statistical significance of (p 0.0001), it was found that the knowledge score at the 3-month follow-up was considerably higher than it was at the pre-intervention (p 0.0001). At each of the three time intervals, the mean scores for attitude were 14.8±2.7, 39.4±1.01, and 43.3±1.2. This shows, that the educational intervention had changed the mean attitude scores, with a statistical significance of (p 0.0001). Health education focused on health-promoting lifestyle modifications was effective in improving the knowledge, attitude, MENQOL, and overall QOL of middle-aged teachers.","PeriodicalId":7551,"journal":{"name":"African journal of reproductive health","volume":"28 11","pages":"170-180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930416","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}

These include extreme maternal age, short inter-pregnancy intervals, lack or inadequate prenatal care, smoking, and obesity. Good knowledge, positive attitude, and safe practice of women about these risk factors are important in improving pregnancy outcomes. To assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of pregnant mothers attending primary health centres, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 200 randomly selected pregnant women attending the Al-Qudus Family Medicine Primary Health Centre for antenatal care during the period June 2022 to February 2023. Direct interviews of the participants was carried out to obtain data using a structured questionnaire, and the data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS software The mean age was 22.5 years, 78% of whom knew pregnancy beyond 35 years increases complication; 77% agreed that low maternal educational level has bad effect on pregnancy; 63% were aware of the bad effects of short interpregnancy intervals; while almost all women agreed that smoking has bad effect on pregnancy. About 82% had attitude of planning for pregnancy and frequent antenatal care visits; more than half had regular doctor visits with folic acid supplementation; while three quarters of the women took information from their families and relatives and half from doctors. We conclude that pregnant women in Al-Qudus Family Medicine Health centre, Iraq, have moderately to good knowledge of maternal risk factors.","PeriodicalId":7551,"journal":{"name":"African journal of reproductive health","volume":"28 10","pages":"81-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142765497","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}

However, a paucity of research has explored this relationship. Using IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys data from 2011-2018 across eight Southern African nations, we analyzed 17,968 women's attitudes towards wife beating and their reproductive choices through a cross-sectional design and multilevel logistic regression models. Our findings reveal that 84.9% of women expressed negative attitudes towards wife abuse, with 44.2% demonstrating autonomy in reproductive choices. Women who opposed wife beating exhibited greater autonomy in reproductive decision-making (44.6%), while those justifying wife discipline showed decreased autonomy (aOR = 0.84, 95% CI [0.78-0.91]). Older age (aOR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.19-1.58]) and higher education (aOR = 2.15, 95% CI [1.18-2.60]) increased the likelihood of autonomy. Country-level variations were evident, with Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia showing higher autonomy odds compared to Angola. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies to shift attitudes and promote gender equality and reproductive health in Southern Africa.

Inclusion criteria comprised of open access original peer-reviewed articles that were written in English language, with a concentration on adolescent health. On the other hand, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were excluded. From our findings, religious leaders play a significant role in influencing the use of modern contraceptives among adolescents, although their role as a source of reproductive health information is limited. Collaborating with local religious leaders can strengthen efforts to promote family planning and achieve sustainable development goals, despite challenges posed by cultural and social norms. Involving religious leaders in adolescents' reproductive health programs is a crucial strategy to raise awareness and support them in making responsible decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health.","PeriodicalId":7551,"journal":{"name":"African journal of reproductive health","volume":"28 10s","pages":"303-317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142783693","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}

The application provides educational content on healthy pregnancy, maternal nutrition, and stunting prevention strategies, incorporating both text and audio explanations to ensure accessibility for illiterate and visually impaired users. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a single-group pretest-posttest approach involving 50 pairs of brides-to-be with internet-connected Android smartphones. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires administered by trained enumerators, focusing on KAP related to stunting prevention. The results indicated a significant improvement in KAP scores post-intervention (knowledge score increase: 42.59, p < 0.001). The application's unique features, including interactive quizzes and a certification process for marriage registration at the Office of Religious Affairs, contributed to its effectiveness.
