The world has been affected by an outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Health care workers are among those most at risk of contracting the virus. In the fight against the coronavirus, nurses play a critical role. Still, most social media platforms demonstrate that nurses fear that their health is not being prioritized. The purpose of this study is to investigate nurses’ experiences through analyzing the main themes shared on Instagram by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast with highly structured research, the current paper highlights nurses’ natural language use in describing their experiences during the first months of the outbreak in their workplace. Instagram captions were utilized as a data source. Leximancer was utilized for the content analysis of nurses’ narratives towards their coronavirus experience. We sought to accomplish three research objectives: the first was to identify the main themes in the descriptions of nurses’ experiences shared via their social media, specifically Instagram; then, to determine the relationships among concepts, and finally, to give useful implications based on the findings. The current study uses a qualitative (i.e., narratives) approach to analyze the main components of the nurses’ experiences during the pandemic. The Leximancer software analysis revealed nine major textual themes and the relationships among these themes. In order of the relative importance, the themes were “patients”, “coronavirus”, “exhaustion”, “family”, “hospital”, “personal protective equipment” (PPE), “shift”, “fear”, and “uncertainty”. The results offer practical implications based on the social media information regarding nurses’ overall experiences.

“…[ 23 ] A study by Zwink N et al showed that parental risk factors such as smoking before conception significantly increased the risk for malformations. [ 24 ] Finally, the proportion of individuals exposed to environmental risk factors (radiation, paint, heavy metals including lead and mercury, and pesticides) was higher in males than that in females (1.46% vs 1.15%), which can be explained by the fact that more males work on jobs related to these factors [ 20 , 25 ]…”

To identify the prevalence of chronic disease and behavior risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcome for pre-pregnancy couples in Hunan province, China. A retrospective study including cross-sectional datas from the Free Pre-pregnancy Health Check (FPHC) surveillance system of Hunan, China in 2019 was conducted. Microsoft Excel 2010 was used for preliminary data analysis. The fowllowing descriptive analysis, t-tests, and Chi-Squared tests were carried out using SPSS 25.0. Among 419,971 couples, 182,450 (21.72%) individuals were older than 35 years, 257,471(69.48%) couples planned to have a second or additional child and 114,892 (27.36%) individuals had a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The mean number of risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcome was higher in males than that in females (2.17 per male vs 1.92 per female). The prevalence/proportions of hypertension, increased psychological pressure, high alanine transaminase or creatinine, smoking, passive smoke exposure, alcohol use, and exposure to environmental risk factors were higher in males than that in females (2.43% vs 1.35%, 0.68% vs 0.54%, 12.80% vs 5.93%, 2.52% vs 1.47%, 27.70% vs 0.24%, 10.94% vs 3.58%, 15.62% vs 1.07%, and 1.46% vs 1.15%, respectively). The proportion of females with an abnormal cervix was 3.35%, and the proportion of males with abnormal wrapping was 1.90%. The prevalence/proportions of anemia and work-related pressure or social tensions were higher in females than that in males (5.53% vs 0.51%, 15.39% vs 13.61%, and 8.22% vs 7.88%, respectively). History of adverse pregnancy outcomes and age olderthan 35 years were important risk factors for pre-pregnancy couples in Hunan province. The mean number of risk factors was higher in males than that in females. Hypertension, increased psychological pressure, high alanine transaminase and creatinine levels, smoking, passive smoke exposure, alcohol use, and exposure to dangerous environmental factors were the major risk factors for males. Anemia, work-related pressure and social tensions were the major risk factors for females.

25Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious pubic health concern and known to have 26 the adverse effects on mother 's perinatal wellbeing; and child 's physical and codnitive 27 development. There were limited literatures on PPD in Bangladesh, especially in urban slum 28 context. The aim of this study was to assess the burden and risk factors of PPD among the 29 urban slum women. A cross-sectional study was conducted between November-December 30 2017 in three urban slums on 376 women within first 12 months of postpartum. A validated 31 Bangla version of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to measure the depression 32 status. Respondent's socio-economic characteristics and other risk factors were collected with 33 structured validated questionaire by trained interviewers . Unadjusted Prevalence Ratio (PR) 34 and Adjusted Prevalence Ratio (APR) were estimated with Generalized Linear Model(GLM) 35 and Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) respectively to identify the risk factors of PPD. 36 The prevalence of PPD was 39.4% within first 12 months following the child birth. Job 37 involvement after child delivery (APR=1.9, 95% CI= 1.1, 3.3), job loss due to pregnancy 38 (APR=1.5, 95% CI= 1.0, 2.1), perinatal and postnatal death (APR=1.4, 95% CI= 0.97, 2.0), 39 unintended pregnancy (APR=1.8, 95% CI= 1.3, 2.5), management of delivery cost by 40 borrowing, selling or mortgaging assets (APR=1.3, 95% CI= 0.94, 1.9), depressive symptom 41 during pregnancy (APR=2.5, 95% CI= 1.7, 3.8) and intimate partner violence (APR=2.0, 95% 42 CI= 1.2, 3.3), were identified as risk factors.PPD was not associated with poverty, mother in 43 law and any child related factors. The burden of postpartum depression is high in the urban 44 slum of Bangladesh. Maternal mental health services should be integrated with existing 45 maternal health services. Research is required for the innovation of effective, low cost and 46 culturally appropriate PPD case management and preventive intervention in urban slum of 47 Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common, non-psychotic mood or mental disorder 51 which typically manifests in mothers within one year of delivery (first year postpartum) [1, 2]. 52Globally, the prevalence of PPD among mothers ranges from 0.5% to 60.8% [3]. In 53 comparison to women of developed countries, women of developing countries showed higher 54 rates of PPD [4]. A systematic review of 28 developed countries reported that the prevalence 55 PPD symptom (PPDS) was 6-13% among women in high income nations [5]. An independent 56 systematic review on low and middle income countries (LMIC) found the prevalence of 57 postpartum common mental disorder was approximately 20% [6]. Asian countries reported 58 between 3.5-63.3% prevalence rates of depression in postpartum women [7]. In India the 59 prevalence of depression varied from 11% to 16% within fourteen weeks of delivery [8]. 60Several studies conducted in rural Bangladesh found the prevalence of PPD ranged from 18% 61 to 35% among rural women [1, 2, 9]. 62 63 ...
