- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Decreased sleep quality is a common complaint during pregnancy. Relaxation is one of the non-pharmaceutical treatments for sleep disorders. Different techniques could have different impacts on various biological and mental stressors. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery on the sleep quality of primigravida women.
Methods:This three-group clinical trial was conducted on 100 primigravida women, referring to Mashhad health care centers in 2014. All women, who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly assigned to three groups: progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and control groups. The intervention groups performed the exercises twice a day for a period of four weeks at home after two sessions of relaxation training (held during two weeks). Then, the quality of sleep was measured using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. For data analysis, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, paired t-test, and post-hoc test were performed, using SPSS version 11.5.
Results: The total score of sleep quality and its components (except use of sleep medication) was significantly lower after the intervention, compared to the pre-intervention period in progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery groups (p <0.001). Both relaxation techniques were effective in improving sleep quality and its components (p <0.001). However, the effect of guided imagery was more significant than progressive muscle relaxation (P=0.015).
Conclusion: Both guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation positively affected the sleep quality of primigravida women, although the effect of guided imagery was more significant. It is recommended to integrate guided imagery into pregnancy care for primigravida women with sleep disorders.- انتشار مقاله: 20-11-1393

- کلمات کلیدی: Perineum,Episiotomy,Perineal pain
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Episiotomy is a common medical procedure for widening the perineum. In fact, perineal pain is the most common complaint after episiotomy. Therefore, it is important to determine factors associated with postoperative pain following episiotomy in order to provide comfort for women after delivery. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with postoperative pain following episiotomy in primiparous women.
Methods:This analytical, descriptive study was conducted on 119 eligible mothers, selected via convenience sampling, referring to Mashhad Omolbanin Hospital. Childbirth-related information was collected using a questionnaire. Neonates and mothers were also evaluated using Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation (REEDA) scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire for perineal pain on days 1, 7, 10, and 14after delivery. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, one-way ANOVA, Spearman’s test, and Pearson’s correlation were performed, using SPSS version 16. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A significant direct relationship was found between the severity of episiotomy pain on day 7 and length of wound cut (P=0.034), neonatal weight (P=0.040), and number of sutures (P=0.028). There was also a significant relationship between the severity of episiotomy pain on day 10 and the duration of active phase during the second stage of labor (P=0.047), duration of sitting position (P=0.011), and number of sutures (P=0.020). However, a reverse significant correlation was found between the severity of postoperative pain following episiotomy and wound recovery on days 7 (P=0.015) and 10 (P=0.035).
Conclusion: Perineal pain was related to factors such as long perineal cut, slow wound recovery, prolonged active phase in the second stage of labor, neonatal overweight, and mother’s prolonged sitting position. Therefore, it is recommended to train health care providers and mothers about these factors.- انتشار مقاله: 15-09-1393

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Considering the fact that cesarean section (c-section) poses greater risks of maternal and neonatal complications, compared to vaginal delivery, scholars seek different strategies to decrease the prevalence of this surgical procedure. Birth ball exercises during pregnancy are among the proposed strategies. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effect of using birth ball during pregnancy on mode of delivery in primiparous women.
Methods:This clinical trial was conducted on 54 women, referring to the maternity ward of Omolbanin Hospital. Subjects were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group performed birth ball exercises for 4-6 weeks; on the other hand, the control group only received routine care. Data were collected using questionnaires, forms of examination and observation, and checklists for recording exercise movements on a weekly basis. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, and Mann-Whitney U test were performed, using SPSS version 16.
Results: Rates of vaginal delivery and c-section in the intervention group were 92.6% and 7.4%, respectively, while the corresponding values in the control group were 66.7% and 33.3%, respectively. Chi-square showed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of mode of delivery (P=0.018).
Conclusion: Considering the significance of promoting vaginal delivery among women, performing birth ball exercises is recommended as a useful, non-pharmacological, and inexpensive strategy for reducing c-section rate.- انتشار مقاله: 08-09-1393
