“…While immigrant women have been documented to have a higher rate of post partum depression (Ganann et al, 2016), this study did not indicate that Chinese birth tourists have an increased rate of depression. Of the participants, 91.7% had a low patient health questionnaire (PHQ) score which indicated a low rate of post partum depression.…”

“…While Chinese practices of zuo yuezi are suggested to minimalize postpartum depression (PPD), Chinese women have similar rates of PPD as women in the rest of the world (10-20%) with a 6% prevalence rate at 1 month (Tian et al, 2011). Immigrant postpartum women have a higher incidence of postpartum depression, which may be a result of lacking social support (Ganann et al, 2016). One study found that postpartum women living in an area densely populated with other immigrants yields higher prevalence rates of PPD (Ganann et al, 2016).…”

“…Immigrant postpartum women have a higher incidence of postpartum depression, which may be a result of lacking social support (Ganann et al, 2016). One study found that postpartum women living in an area densely populated with other immigrants yields higher prevalence rates of PPD (Ganann et al, 2016). Another study found South Asian women who migrated to high-income countries have a two-fold increase of risk for developing PPD (Nilaweera, Doran, & Fisher, 2014).…”

“…Birth tourists are typically away from family members back home in China, which may contribute to the development of depressive symptoms. Isolation from family members in immigrant women is associated with a risk of developing postpartum depressive symptoms (PPD) (Ganann, Sword, Thabane, Newbold, & Black, 2016).…”

PERCEPTIONS OF CHINESE WOMEN COMING TO THEUNITED STATES TO GIVE BIRTH: BIRTH TOURISM Birth experiences and perceptions vary greatly among different cultures.There has been an increase in Chinese women who specifically come to the United States (US) to give birth to their child and return back to their native country after being cleared at the postpartum checkup. This practice is known as birth tourism.The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of childbirth and postpartum experiences among Chinese birth tourists. Twelve women self-identifying as Chinese, between the ages of twenty-four and thirty-eight, who came to the US to give birth to their child, and who were able to read and communicate in Chinese orEnglish took part in this study. Using a qualitative content analysis design, the study implicated that Chinese women continue to practice their cultural traditions while practicing birth tourism in the US. The study also determined that women had positive perceptions of childbirth in the US. Chinese birth tourists in the study came to the US primarily to secure a future for their children. Understanding childbirth and postpartum perceptions among this unique population will assist health care professionals to provide culturally competent care. Future research should examine nurses' perceptions of the Chinese birth tourist phenomenon.

“…Usikkerhet og frykt knyttet til fødselen går igjen i flere studier med innvandrerkvinner. De har ikke fått tilstrekkelig med informasjon om hvordan de skal forberede seg til fødselen, og språket blir et hinder for helsehjelp (Akhavan 2012;Glavin og Saeteren 2016;Higginbottom et al 2015;Saastad et al 2007). I en rapport fra Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten var 89 av 692 avviksmeldinger for uheldige hendelser under svangerskap, fødsel-og barseltid knyttet til språk (Saastad, Kirschner og Flesland 2015).…”

Right to equal healthcare is statutory in Norway, but there is little knowledge of immigrant women's experiences of health- and welfare services during pregnancy and the portnatal period. Immigrant women are at higher risk for a number of complications related to this period. The purpose of this study was to acquire deeper insight into immigrant women's needs and experiences during their pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period in Norway. The study has a qualitative design using in-depth interviews of immigrant women during pregnancy and the postnatal period. The results are divided into four categories; networks, health professionals have different approaches, the father`s role, and knowledge and information. Results show that language is an important prerequisite for equitable and culture-sensitive health services. Mutual understanding has to be established for the woman's needs to be met and to experience co-determination and recognition. More attention to the father's role is suggested. equal healthcare; immigrant women; qualitative design; birth; postnatal periodlikeverdige helsetjenester; innvandrerkvinner; kvalitativt design; fødsel; barseltid

Aim To explore the effects of an educational‐ counselling programme based on the precede–proceed model during pregnancy on preventing post‐partum depression. Design A randomized clinical trial (RCT) study. Method 130 pregnant women were selected and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires of predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors, GHQ and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The Education programme was designed and performed in each group in a given weekday through four 60‐minute sessions. The whole intervention lasted for one month in all groups. The participants in the control group were given routine pregnancy care. Data were gathered before and after the intervention in both groups. Results Independent t test showed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the mean score of predisposing, reinforcing, enabling factors and post‐partum depression (p < .05). Regression tests indicated predisposing, reinforcing, enabling factors and general health as the most important factors associated with post‐partum depression (p < .05). The results supported the effectiveness of the educational intervention on reducing post‐partum depression and showed that implementing these training during pregnancy leads to a reduced level of post‐partum depression.
