Preeclampsia associated with premature delivery, severity of condition and mother-infant separation increase the risk of breastfeeding (BF) initiation failure. Objective: To compare BF initiation among 158 women with late-onset PSF with 111 women with PDM all of whom received postpartum MgSO4. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of women with PSF and PDM without major fetal malformations who delivered at ≥ 34 weeks GA. PDM group was composed of 33 gestational, 55 Type 1 and 22 Type 2 diabetics. Infant feeding preference declared prenatally was either BF, formula feeding (FF) or both. At discharge, exclusive BF was by direct BF alone or BF complemented with expressed breast milk (EBM), whereas formula supplementation defined partial BF, differences were statistically significant at p < 0.05*. Results: PSF and PDM groups were similar in age, race, and late preterm delivery (73 vs. 66%), however, differed in primiparity (65 vs. 45%)*, vaginal deliveries (58 vs. 31%)*, repeat cesarean (12 vs. 30%)*, admission to the NICU (44 vs. 58%)* and neonatal hypoglycemia (20 vs. 41%)*. Both groups were similar in prior BF experience (17 vs. 22%) and in intention to BF (80 vs. 71%), intention to FF (16 vs. 18%) or intention to partially BF (4 & 11%). At the time of discharge, the rate of exclusive BF among PSF was higher (37 vs. 18%)*, the rate of FF was lower (30 vs. 46%)* while the rate of partial BF was similar (33 vs. 36%) to those in the PDM group. Thus, BF initiation (exclusive plus partial BF) occurred in 70% of PSF and in 54% of PDM*. Conclusion: BF initiation rates for women with PDM were significantly lower than those for women with PSF alone. Although intention to BF was similar to that of the general maternal population, BF initiation rates were suboptimal for the PSF group and even lower and more concerning for the PDM group. Direct BF alone or combined with EBM, led to the exclusive provision of human milk during hospitalization to infants in both groups. Women with PSF and PDM represent groups that will require novel and targeted interventions to improve BF initiation rates.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88508789","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}

{"title":"A Survey of Vitamin Intake amongst Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Female Students in Saudi Arabia: A Pilot Study","authors":"Amin Susan, Al-Shammari Maha","doi":"10.23937/2474-1353/1510116","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23937/2474-1353/1510116","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Previous international research shows severe vitamin deficiencies in people with hearing loss. Hearing loss is improved for many people when vitamins such as A, B, C, D, E and K are replaced. Objective: To determine whether a dietary intake of vitamins linked to deafness were deficient among a group of 18-21 year-old hearing impaired and hearing Saudi Arabian female students. Design: This was a cross sectional study involving 64 hearing students and 42 hard of hearing female students aged 18-21 in a university in Saudi Arabia. Food intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. Vitamin levels were calculated for each food and compared to the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for each group. Knowledge and understanding of vitamin deficiency was answered by face to face interviews. The study duration was one year from September 2010 to September 2011. Results: In comparing the vitamin amounts the students consumed over 24 hours for both groups, the hearing impaired group’s vitamin consumption met the RDA. The hearing group’s vitamin consumption met the RDA on all vitamins except for vitamin B9 and vitamin D. The RDA for vitamin B9 is 0.4 mg. The hearing group had an RDA of 0.3 mg. The RDA for vitamin D is 0.015 mg. The hearing group had an RDA of 0.01 mg. The hearing impaired group had a higher RDA overall with all vitamins compared to the hearing group. A greater percentage of hearing students consumed a higher frequency of vitamin rich foods over the course of the week, compared to the hearing impaired students with values totalling 55% and 40% respectively. Discussion: The vitamin D deficiency among the students could be attributed largely to poor exposure to sunlight, poor dietary vitamin D supplementation and obesity. The lower frequency of vitamin deficiency among the hearing students could be attributed to environmental or behavioural factors or being exposed to different foods. The greater consumption of vitamins B3, C, E and K among the hearing impaired students will be beneficial in the long term for protection in noise induced hearing loss. Increasing antioxidants in the body to rid the body of free radicals. Increasing the activity of vitamin D, an important vitamin in bone mineralization.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"8 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83618840","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}

Objective: To determine associations of short (< 18 months), intermediate (18-59 months) and long (≥ 60 months) IPI with intention to breastfeed (BF) and with exclusive BF, partial BF or formula feeding (FF) at discharge. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 205 women with PGDM who delivered (2013-2018) at ≥ 34 weeks GA. IPI was calculated as months elapsed between a live birth ( previous ) and the start of the pregnancy of the next live birth (subsequent) . Results: IPI distribution was 34% short, 42% intermediate and 24% long. Short as compared to long IPI included more type 1 women (41 vs. 18%), younger women (31 vs. 34y), fewer BMI kg/m 2 ≥ 35 (46 vs. 64%) and more NICU admis - sions (26 vs. 2%). Prior BF experience was similar among the groups (short 63%, intermediate 59% and long IPI 54%). Intention to BF was similar for short and intermediate IPI (67 & 65%) and lower for long IPI (44%). At discharge comparing short vs. long IPI, exclusive BF was higher (37 vs. 18%), partial BF was similar (36 vs. 28%) and FF was lower (27 vs. 54%). Conclusions: Among women with PGDM, short IPI is as - sociated with exclusive BF at discharge while long IPI was associated with lower intention to BF, lower rate of exclusive BF and higher rate of FF at discharge. IPI outside recommended guidelines affect perinatal outcomes and increase the risk for BF initiation failure.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76473607","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}

Objectives and methods: To analyze and spatialize the occurrence of CS and Gestational Syphilis (GS) in a municipality in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, from 2007 to 2012, by observing the population profile, using secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN-NET) database. Results: During this period, 128 cases of GS and 73 cases of CS were notified. The frequency of notifications during the studied period increased from 2.3% to 39.2% for GS and from 1% to 41% for CS. Only 23.4% of the pregnant women’s partners with GS were treated during antenatal care. Considering the number of GS and CS cases notified by administrative region, the greatest percentage occurred in the West region of the municipality. Conclusion: GS and CS have increased considerably in the municipality. Actions are needed that qualify the attention to antenatal care and focus on the iniquity and health conditioning factors to reach the integrality of care.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74649762","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}

In Jordan the latest figures of the Public Institution for Social Security for the year 2012 indicate that the proportion of women who were involved in the organization has been nearly 25% of all the organization participants, many factors influence the levels of women’s economic activity and which include both the legal frameworks and the socio-cultural perceptions (Department of Statistics, 2013). Aims: The aim of this study is to explore the experience of worked women in hospitals after returning to work from maternity leave by focusing on (motherhood, family relationships, and role dynamics). Methods: The descriptive phenomenology as a qualitative research design was adopted to describe the lived experiences of Nineteen Jordanian working women in the health sectors after returning from maternity leave it was selected purposefully from four hospitals in two Jordanian cities were willing to participate in this study. Findings: Illustrate four main themes: A new life with burdens, errands and tasks, Eager and keen to sleep, Experiencing diverse emotions and experiencing the feeling of guilt, Requirements of multi roles mother (mothering/working): A trusted daycare, support system at home, and support system at work. Conclusion: The transition to workplace after maternity leave needs some planning in order to facilitate their returning and achieve a high level of workfamily balance. Implication for nursing and health policy: Healthcare manager and policymakers call for to reconsider the period after child birth and maternity leave for the Jordanian working women. Extended the maternity leave to 5-6 month would positively affect the women’s productivity at work and create new ways to achieving a breast feeding continuity and strengthening the mother’s and children’s health as well as the bond between them.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77384015","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}

Nearly all unsafe abortions (98%) occur in developing countries. Even though the abortion penal code of Ethiopia was amended in 2005, to permit safe abortion under a set of some criteria, there is high number of unsafe abortion rate nationally (28/1000) and among University students (65/1000), from which only 50% was safe abortion which may be due to the possibility of low knowledge on liberalized safe abortion in our country. Objective: To assess knowledge of safe abortion and associated factors among female students in Debre Markos University, Amhara Regional State, Northwest Ethiopia, April, 2016. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 483 undergraduate regular female students from April 4-18, 2016 in Debre Markos University. Simple random sampling was used. Self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was entered in to Epi Info version 7 and analyzed by SPSS version 20. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to identify associated factors and multivariable logistic regression to adjust the effects of possible cofounders. Results: All questionnaires (507) were filled, but 24 questionnaires were incomplete and have been rejected from the data analysis, which gives response rate of 95.3%. 199 (41.2%) of the respondents were knowledgeable about liberalized safe abortion. By multivariable logistic regression analysis, marital status [AOR = 2.44, 95% of CI:(1.35,4.42)], family residence [AOR = 1.56, 95% of CI:(1.03, 2.39)], maternal educational level [AOR = 2.68, 95% of CI:(1.08, 6.61)] and ever had pregnant before [AOR = 10.68, 95% of CI:(4.52, 25.22)] were the factors significantly associated with knowledge of female students to liberalized safe abortion. Conclusions and recommendation: High proportions of students were not knowledgeable about safe abortion. Awareness creation toward safe abortion is very important in university students.","PeriodicalId":92223,"journal":{"name":"International journal of women's health and wellness","volume":"479 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79952566","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}
