Objective: To identify the effect of mother and newborn early skin-to-skin contact (SSC) on the duration of separation and expulsion of the placenta. Methods:In a randomized controlled clinical trial, (28 parturient women) equally divided into two groups. Early mother and newborn SSC was applied to the experimental group, while no intervention was done to the control group. The study has been conducted in the delivery room at King Fahd Hospital of the University, AL Khobar, and Saudi Arabia. Results:The results of this study demonstrated a statistically significant positive effect of early SSC in shortening the duration of the placental delivery. The median duration of placental delivery was (308.5 seconds) and (570 seconds) in the experimental and control groups respectively; the difference was statistically significant as P value=0.042*. Conclusion:The significant difference between-groups favoring SSC mothers to have shorter duration time of placental delivery. Such difference should be taken into account in routine care after delivery.Keywords: Skin-to-skin contact; Delivery; Placenta separation; Newborn KeyphrasesSkin-to-skin contact is an aspect of child birth rearing. It has several benefits such as enhancing uterine contractions which helps in separation and expulsion of placenta in a shorter time. It also provides warmth to the newborn which enhances parenting bonding and behaviors. This article is aimed to enhance such benefits.
Objectives: To assess knowledge, practices and quality of life of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care. To find the relation between knowledge, practices and selected variables of quality of life of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care. To evaluate the outcome and impact of health education program on knowledge and practices of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care.Methods: An experimental study was conducted using pre-posttest design on a (39) Saudi adolescent girl students at the seventh secondary school, Al-Khobar City in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Two tools used; first tool is structured questionnaire sheet, which was developed by the researcher and revised by three experts in the specialty. This tool used to assess the Saudi adolescent girl students' knowledge and practices regarding menstruation. The second tool was a quality of life scale which developed by World Health Organization. It included questions about quality of life, general daily activities; number of times suffering from pain and negative feelings and ability to study. After that the pretest was done. Data collected and analyzed. Accordingly, the researcher prepared the contents of the health educational program based on the adolescent Saudi girls' level of knowledge and practices. Then the researcher prepared the contents, and then divided and implemented in two consecutive sessions. Immediately after implementing the program sessions, the same questionnaire sheets filled up individually by the participants as an immediate post-test. A comparison between the pre-and post-tests done to identify the effect of planned health educational program on menstrual knowledge and practices among adolescent Saudi girls using the appropriate statistical tests, (SPSS) version 23. Results:The results of the current study demonstrated statistical significant improvements regarding quality of life as (79.2% compared to 86.7%), level of menstrual knowledge scores as (47.36% compared to 94.73%), and self-hygienic care practices score as (94.9% compared to 28.2%), p<0.00. Conclusion:The present study concluded that statistically significant improvements observed regarding the Saudi adolescent girl's menstrual knowledge, self-hygienic care practices and quality of life after receiving the well prepared, planned and implementation of menstrual health education program.

Background: At the time of birth, the infant is still attached to the mother via the umbilical cord, which is a part of the placenta. The infant is usually separated from the placenta by clamping the cord. Timing of umbilical cord clamping has been and still is a highly controversial issue worldwide, the controversy about the best time to clamp the cord. The main aim of the study is to identify the effect of early and late cord clamping on newborns' blood analysis.
