“…Better counseling services that discuss the method of delivery are therefore required for mothers during their pregnancy, because after the proposed intervention and training, the trial group showed a greater satisfaction with their vaginal delivery and a better inclination to choose the same method for future pregnancies compared to the control group, which is indicative of the positive effects of the educational intervention on these two dimensions. The fact that this increase was not significant suggests the need for fundamental changes in the social infrastructure and the creation of a positive attitude toward vaginal delivery in society, which can be accomplished by the development and implementation of special programs (50–52). The mother’s feelings toward sexual relations was a dimension in which no significant differences were observed between the two groups after the intervention, even though both groups received higher scores in this dimension after the intervention (with the trial group’s scores being yet higher than the control’s).…”

BackgroundThe postpartum period is a critical stage of life with major changes in the quality of life. Therefore, special consideration is needed to this issue.ObjectiveTo determine the effect of a self-care program based on the Teach Back method on the postpartum quality of life.MethodsThis experimental study was conducted on eighty postpartum women who had given birth in health centers across Darreh Shahr County, Ilam Province, Iran in 2016. The control group received only routine postpartum care according to the national guidelines. The trial group received the routine care in addition to two sessions of physical and psychological postpartum self-care based on the Teach Back method. The two groups were assessed in terms of their quality of life before and after the intervention using the Postpartum Quality of Life Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive statistic tests, Chi squared, independent-samples t-test, paired-samples t-test, Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney’s test was used.ResultsBefore the intervention, the postpartum quality of life score was 106.23±11.866 in the trial group and 107.30±13.197 in the control group; after the intervention, the score was 124.73±10.706 and 115.03±12.687 in the two groups respectively, suggesting a significant inter-group difference after the intervention (p<0.001). Significant differences were also observed between the two groups in terms of the mother’s feelings toward herself, toward her child and toward her spouse and others, and physical health before and after the intervention (p<0.001).ConclusionsUsing the Teach Back model for a self-care program appears to dramatically improve the postpartum quality of life and is therefore recommended as a useful method for postpartum care.Trial registrationThe trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (http://www.irct.ir) with the Irct ID: IRCT2015012820854N1.FundingThe authors received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

“…No que tange ao aspecto sexual, embora a maioria das mulheres tenha referido atividade sexual durante a gestação, considerou-se alto o número de gestantes que negaram vida sexual ativa. Ao avaliar gestantes de alto risco na Turquia, evidenciou-se predominância de vida sexual prejudicada a partir do surgimento dos riscos na gestação (12) . As principais mudanças apontadas pelas mulheres foram diminuição da frequência de relações sexuais, menor desejo sexual, dor e sofrimento durante o ato, não considerar-se atraente e insatisfação sexual.…”

“…As principais mudanças apontadas pelas mulheres foram diminuição da frequência de relações sexuais, menor desejo sexual, dor e sofrimento durante o ato, não considerar-se atraente e insatisfação sexual. Percebeu-se que a condição de alto risco gestacional teve um efeito negativo sobre a vida sexual das mulheres (12) e, consequentemente, sobre a sua qualidade de vida. Nesse contexto, percebe-se a importância da educação sexual durante a gestação.…”

Determinantes sociais da saúde de gestantes acompanhadas no prénatal de alto riscoSocial determinants of health of high-risk pregnant women during prenatal follow-up RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar os determinantes sociais da saúde de gestantes acompanhadas no pré-natal de alto risco. Métodos: estudo observacional e transversal, realizado com 276 gestantes de alto risco. A coleta deu-se mediante aplicação de questionário estruturado acerca dos determinantes sociais da saúde, além de dados clínicos e obstétricos das mulheres. Os dados foram analisados através do programa estatístico Jamovi®, versão 0.9, e discutidos segundo o Modelo de Dahlgren e Whitehead. Resultados: as condições individuais; o comportamento e estilo de vida; a rede social e comunitária; e a condição de vida, tais como: trabalho, saúde, educação, saneamento básico e habitação podem constituir fator de risco ou de proteção à saúde da gestante. Conclusão: determinantes como idade, raça, tipo de gestação, nível educacional, a situação de moradia e o acesso aos serviços de saúde foram considerados favoráveis à saúde da maioria das gestantes, porém, a prevalência de gravidez não planejada como comportamento desfavorável. ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the social determinants of health of high-risk pregnant women during prenatal follow-up. Methods: observational and cross-sectional study with 276 high-risk pregnant women. Data were collected by applying a structured questionnaire about the social determinants of health, as well as clinical and obstetric data from highrisk pregnant women. Data were analyzed using the Jamovi® statistical software, version 0.9, and discussed according to the Dahlgren and Whitehead's Model. Results: individual conditions; behavior and lifestyle; social and community network; and the condition of life, such as work, health, education, sanitation and housing may constitute a risk or health protection factor for pregnant women. Conclusion: determinants such as age, race, type of pregnancy, educational level, housing situation and access to health services were considered favorable to the health of most pregnant women, but the prevalence of unplanned pregnancy as unfavorable behavior.

“…Sexual issues are more affected when pregnancy becomes a highrisk pregnancy, which can be regarded as the cause of reduced quality of sexual life. Besides, sex life is put on hold when pregnancy is highly risky [2]. Changes in sexual function accompany pregnancy and probably increasing the number of sexual problems when accompanied by particular disorders such as gestational diabetes [3].…”

Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with changes in sexual function and perhaps many more sexual problems when accompanied by particular disorders such as gestational diabetes. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate factors associated with sexual functions in women with gestational diabetes. Materials and Methods: The present analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 women with gestational diabetes (150) and low-risk pregnant women (150) attending clinics affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in the north of Iran in 2019. A multistage cluster random sampling method was used, and samples were selected by convenience sampling method. The study data were collected using a demographic and obstetrics questionnaire, female sexual distress scale-revised, prenatal distress questionnaire, world health organization quality of life questionnaire, depression, anxiety, stress questionnaire, and a female sexual function index. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics indicators, the Chi-square test, t-test, and multivariate linear regression. Results: The frequency of sexual dysfunction was 87.3% in women with gestational diabetes and 34.67% in low-risk pregnant women. Compared to women with low-risk-pregnancy, women with gestational diabetes reported lower sexual function scores (P=0.001). Women with gestational diabetes experience lower quality of life (P<0.05) than low-risk pregnant women. Besides, women with gestational diabetes experience higher levels of stress (P=0.001), more prenatal concerns (P=0.014), and higher sexual distress (P<0.05). The linear regression test showed that gestational diabetes in pregnant women predicts a significant reduction in sexual desire (β=-0.599; P= 0.001). Conclusion: Gestational diabetes predicts a significant reduction in sexual function during pregnancy due to the physical and psychological effects of gestational diabetes. Thus, it is recommended that pregnant women with gestational diabetes should be trained and counseled about gestational diabetes control and sexual function.
