Aim Recurrent miscarriage is considered a major life event. The main purposes of this study were to compare the differences in stress, anxiety, social support, sleep quality and depressive symptoms in couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage compared to peers who experience full‐term normal childbirth in southern Taiwan. Methods Convenience sampling and snowball sampling were used respectively to recruit 78 couples with and 80 couples without recurrent miscarriage from October 2014 to July 2015. Five structured questionnaires including Perceived Stress Scale, State‐ Anxiety Inventory, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Edinburgh Depression Scale were administered. Results Women who experienced recurrent miscarriage perceived significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms than their husbands. Women in the recurrent miscarriage group reported significantly greater depressive symptoms than women of the other group. A stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated key predictors of depressive symptoms among women of childbearing age, accounting for 62.9% of the variance, were anxiety, stress, social support and history of recurrent miscarriage. Conclusion Women with recurrent miscarriage suffer mild to moderate depressive symptoms and a greater incidence of depression than their peers who experienced normal childbirth. Health professionals can use the knowledge gained from these findings to evaluate women with recurrent miscarriage for stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms and develop supportive interventions.

“…Four studies including aerobic exercise, pilates and yoga can improve the well-being of psychology in postpartum women (F Ashrafinia et al, 2015;Buttner et al, 2015;Timlin & Simpson, 2017;Yang & Chen, 2018). Other studies reporting on pilates and aerobics also reduced the fatigue and can improve the sleep quality of postpartum women (Farzaneh Ashrafinia et al, 2013;Yang & Chen, 2018).…”

“…Table 1 represents the characteristics and content of the intervention of the 14 low-risk studies related to postpartum exercises. One study evaluated Progressive Muscle Relaxation (Gökşin & Ayaz-Alkaya, 2018), 2 studies evaluated Yoga (Buttner, Brock, O'Hara, & Stuart, 2015), 6 studies evaluated pelvic floor muscle training (Dinc et al, 2009;Gagnon, Boucher, & Robert, 2016;Golmakani, Zare, Khadem, Shareh, & Shakeri, 2015 Ashrafinia et al, 2015;Farzaneh Ashrafinia et al, 2013), 1 study evaluated postnatal exercises (Mahishale, Ulorica, & Patil, 2014) and 1 study evaluated aerobic gymnastic exercise (Yang & Chen, 2018). Each study examined the problems in the puerperium associated with the quality of life of postpartum mothers.…”

Postpartum mothers are vulnerable to several problems during the puerperium, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, sexual problems, physical functioning and dissatisfaction with partner support that can affect their quality of life. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the effect of exercise on postpartum women’s quality of life. Comprehensive searches including experimental studies (including RCTs and non-randomized trials) from several databases, namely Scopus, PubMed, and Science-Direct, were used to search for scientific contributions published between 2009 and 2019. The articles are identified using the relevant keywords. This systematic review is guided by PRISMA. Fourteen of the 636 articles met both the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The postpartum exercises found in this study were Yoga, Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), Pilates, Postnatal Exercise, Aerobic Exercise and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). This review cannot provide definitive conclusions about the best form of exercise, the suggested duration or the timing needed to improve the quality of life for postpartum women. However, Yoga and Pilates are proven to effectively improve maternal well-being because this exercise focuses on increasing the physical, psychological and social support during the postpartum period. Further research is needed to provide evidence and to strengthen the results of this systematic review.

“…Для розуміння тенденцій та напрямів розвитку національного механізму управління політичними та соціально-економічними процесами важливою складовою є дослідження суспільних відносин на рівні держав і міжнародних організацій, створення наднаціональних організаційно-управлінських механізмів й водночасгалузевий рівень, галузеве спрямування сучасних трансформаційних процесів на рівні державного управління. Галузева складова управління вважається складним та суперечливим явищем у системі світогосподарських зв'язків як у теоретичному, так і практичному сенсі [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Не применшуючи значення наукових напрацювань інших вчених, варто зазначити, що в сучасних умовах розвитку українського суспільства досить актуальним є пошук провідних практик з оздоровлення населення.…”
