Methods: This is an educational interventional case-control study. A total of 51 pregnant women were studied together during the 12th week of pregnancy. Ethical Committee and related consents were taken. Data was evaluated by using descriptive statistics. Results: The age average of the pregnant in the control group was 28.70 ± 5.42 years while it was 25.74 ± 5.16 years for the case group. Women's gestational week averages were 20.87 weeks for study and 24.10 weeks for control group. In the study, the pre-training scale scores of the cases and control groups were compared with the average level of birth fear of the groups (t = 1.848, p = 0.073). There was a significant difference between pre- and post-hypnotic scale scores in the birth preparation class (t = -5.329, p < 0.001). Before the training; 48% of the ca...

STUDY DESIGN A quasi-experimental methodological study to assess the education of hypnobirthing. Women were recruited from Eskişehir State Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in Turkey between 24 and 26 pregnancy weeks and July 1–September 1, 2016 and the hypnobirthing education was given 5 weeks in the antenatal period. Participants; 30 Turkish-speaking pregnant women. Following labor, questionnaires were completed in hospital by women in order to assess the mother and infant after birth and determine the effect of education first 24 hours after birth.

Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. A total of 142 women who had given birth in the past year, are nursing at the moment and has not experienced postpartum depression participated in the study. Sociodemographic questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by chi-square (χ2) tests, independent sample t-test, and logistic regression. Results: Among the participants, 45.8% had given birth via vaginal delivery and 54.2% via cesarean section and 67.7% were experiencing sexual dysfunction. Early postpartum stage (0–6 months) was determined to affect the FSFI score and to increase the risk (odds ratio = 0.24; 95% CI = 0.08−0.72; χ2 = 7.20; p < .05). A comparison of the FSFI scores of women in the vaginal delivery group for the first and second 6 months following delivery has yielded a statistically different score across all subdomains of FSFI scores, excluding desire (p < .05). Conclusion: When evaluated with a consideration of the pelvic floor, this study is important in demonstrating that vaginal delivery and cesarean section do not differ except for a short period of time in terms of sexual functioning.

The terms health education, patient education, self-care education, school health education, and ... more The terms health education, patient education, self-care education, school health education, and health promotion are distinguished from each other as follows. Health education is a subset or strategy within each of these but is the primary and dominant strategy in health promotion. Health education occurs through the health care providers in various settings: worksites, medical, community agencies and schools. Nurses and midwives are the most important health care providers to train people for health promotion and cancer prevention. We appreciate the importance of the "Fight against Cancer" movement in the primary health care centre and its health care providers who inform people about cancer and its symptoms, how to find lesions and early stages, and how to avoid hazardous factors. This is as process of continuous information transfer by in-service education. Primary prevention should encompass all actions aimed to reducing the occurrence of cancer. In reviewing recent a...

Methods: This defining study has been carried out at a maternity hospital in Izmir on pregnant women admitted for curettage. We interviewed 150 pregnant cases using an improbability sampling method. Results: We discovered that 48.7% of women had avoided pregnancy before curettage by withdrawal before ejaculation. When we investigated the method used after uncontrolled coitus, 27.3% of cases reported vaginal douche while 12.7% indicated curettage. After having an unprotected coitus or failure in contraceptive methods 99.3% of the women indicated they would report to health institutes to utilize postcoital methods if they were familiar with them. Conclusions: Postcoital contraception may be a solution for undesired pregnancies.
