“…The extent of the effect is disproportionally high compared with the usual placebo effect observed in controlled trials. Other factors that may be deemed to be relevant include the information provided and discussed prior to inclusion, the use of a smart phone app during the trial 12,13 and self-administration of treatment. 14 These methodological bias may have affected the evaluation of the intrinsic efficacy of the device, however the overall assessment of the procedure represents true-life conditions and the actual effect on patient satisfaction.…”

Objectives: To determine whether sleep quality in patients with sleep disorders is improved by Phyto-acupressure. Design: YSOM is a prospective, observational 28 days pilot study with pre-and postprocedural measures and a self-recorded diary. Sleep onset latency, wake-up quality, early starts, awakenings and overall sleep quality were measured by numerical analogue scales. Settings/location: The procedure was carried out across a large metropolitan area. Subjects: A total of 25 patients (mean age 37 years) with sleep disorders without severe comorbidities took part. Procedures: A home-based phyto-acupressure procedure, three times a day for 28 days was carried out. Outcome measures: efficacy, safety, acceptability, compliance with home program, before, at the end, and during the trial (diary). Findings: All patients followed the protocol correctly. No adverse effects were reported; therefore the skin tolerance of the device was very good. The use enabled a significant increase in overall sleep (+73% at the fourth week) and wake-up quality (+102% at W4). Issues with getting to sleep, the occurrence of night-time waking, early morning waking, as well as restless sleep were also vastly improved. Conclusions: The results of this observational pilot study suggest that Phyto-acupressure is an effective and safe procedure for adult patients with sleep disorders that merit thorough evaluation through a randomized controlled trial.

“…One fth (11/51) described empowerment as the process enabling a sense of self-e cacy or self-worth in the ability to overcome barriers to control over resources. [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] Measures of Empowerment All studies considered the concept of empowerment in their design; approximately 80% (41/51) of articles considered empowerment as a primary outcome of the study. No measures of empowerment were speci cally cited in any of the articles, beyond the measures of the behaviour being studied.…”

Background: With women’s empowerment and information and communication technologies (ICTs) being the subject of global goals and discussions for many decades, there is a need for a clearer and deeper understanding about how the current gaps can be bridged. Despite ICTs having made communication and networking a possibility between and among people on a global scale, a digital divide has emerged. Research Question: To determine the global impact of information and communication technology on women’s empowerment. Methods: The authors report on a qualitative scoping review using the Arksey and O’Malley methodology. The search identified papers from ten databases, including Scopus, Embase, ABI Inform, Soc Index, Sociological Abstracts, Gender Studies, Springer Link, PsychInfo, Science Direct, and Academic Search Complete over the period of 2012-2018. Search criteria included articles that focused on women’s empowerment and utilized technologies as interventions. A total of 4481 articles were initially identified and a final total of 51 were charted and analyzed. Results: Technology played a variety of roles in supporting the development of women’s capacity and resources. Results demonstrated the use of ICT interventions in the following areas: outreach, education, lifestyle, prevention, health challenges, perceptions of barriers. However, despite this clear positive use of technology to support women in their daily lives, there was a lack of consensus regarding the definition and use of the term empowerment. The concept of empowerment was also inconsistently and poorly measured among individual studies which led to issues in measuring whether or not empowerment was achieved. Conclusions: This scoping review supports the use of current and emerging technologies to engage and empower women across a variety of contexts.

“…Primiparlarda, antenatal perineal masaj, epizyotomi ve sütur gerektiren perineal travma insidansını azaltmaktadır. (10,15) Perineal masaja, ellerin hareketine izin verecek kayganlaştırıcı bir madde sürülerek (badem yağı, zeytinyağı gibi) başlanır. Bir ya da iki el parmağı yaklaşık 3-4 cm vaginanın iç kısmına, parmakların ikinci boğumuna kadar yerleştirilir, dışarı rektuma doğru esneterek hafif bir gerdirme sızısı başladığında o hizada kalarak, baş ve işaret parmakları birlikte hareket ettirilerek yavaşça saat üç yönünden dokuz yönüne ritmik "U" şeklinde masaj yapılır.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı gebelikte yapılan perineal masajın, doğum eyleminde perineal travmalar üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Konuyla ilgili makalelere ulaşmak için antenatal, prenatal, perineal massage, perineal trauma anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak "Pub-Med", "Science Direct", ve "Wiley Interscience" veri tabanlarında tarama yapıldı. Tarama sonucunda 505 makaleye ulaşıldı ve araştırma kapsamına konuyla ilgili 5 çalışma alındı. Bulgular: Çalışmalar antenatal perineal masajın intakt perine oranlarını ve spontan vajinal doğumları artırdığını, epizyotomi oranlarını, 1. ve 2. derece laserasyonları ve müdahaleli doğumları azalttığını, 32. haftadan itibaren pelvik taban kas egzersizleriyle birlikte hergün düzenli olarak yapıldığında epidural kullanımını azalttığını ve doğumun 2. evresini kısalttığını göstermektedir. Sonuç: Değerlendirmeye alınan tüm çalışmalarda antenatal perine masajının olumlu sonuçları olduğu görülmektedir. Obsterik sonuçların iyileştirilmesi için antenatal perineal masajın 32. gebelik haftasından itibaren düzenli olarak yapılması önerilmektedir. Bu sistematik derlemenin konu ile ilgili yapılacak olan çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
