Read More BACKGROUND: Pregnancy may change sex life, this period may be associated with decreased sex, and this is due to fear of miscarriage, nausea and vomiting, fear of harm to the fetus, fatigue, and fear of ruptured membranes. Midwives could help them to improve their sexual life during this period. One of the important approaches to improving sexual life during pregnancy is cognitive‑behavioral therapy (CBT). This nonmedical approach could improve misconceptions about sex during pregnancy. The aim of this study was the effect of sexual health counseling based on CBT on sexual satisfaction and inefficient sexual beliefs of primigravida women.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a randomized clinical trial study, the research population being 52 pregnant women who were randomly divided into groups, the experimental (26) and the control (26). Before the sexual health counseling based on CBT, the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Inefficient Sexual Beliefs Questionnaire were filled by both the groups. These standard questionnaires were completed three times (before, immediately, and 4 weeks after intervention). After pretest, eight sexual health counseling sessions (90 min) were performed for the experimental group. The control group received routine care. Data analysis was performed by using descriptive statistics tests, ANOVA, and post hoc tests by Bonferroni method in SPSS version 22. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: The mean score of inefficient sexual beliefs in the interventional group before intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month later was obtained 22.85 ± 9.57, 12.92 ± 7.25, and 7.86 ± 13.88, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean score of sexual satisfaction before the study, immediately after the intervention, and 1 month later was 88.77 ± 11.89, 95.62 ± 9.27, and 94.65 ± 8.28, respectively, in the experimental group (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: Sexual health counseling based on CBT could reduce inefficient sexual beliefs and increase the sexual satisfaction of the primigravida women during pregnancy, but most participants preferred fewer sessions.

Read More BACKGROUND: It is evident that the novel coronavirus disease pandemic inevitably resulted inincreased stress and anxiety in the general population. Pregnancy is a challenging period, andCOVID‑19 has added risk to women pregnant during the pandemic.AIM: The present study was aimed to assess the emotional difficulties in pregnant females whotested positive for COVID‑19. The current study estimated the prevalence of depression, anxiety,and stress among 63 pregnant ladies who tested positive for COVID‑19.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in Child and Maternity Hospital of GMCAnantnag, Kashmir, India, from April to December 2020. A total of 63 pregnant females who testedpositive for COVID‑19 participated in the study. The COVID‑positive pregnant ladies were interviewedin the outpatient department of the child and maternity clinic 2 weeks after the infection. The interviewscale used was Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale‑21. The data were analyzed using Chi‑squaretest and Fisher’s exact test.RESULTS: We found that the mean age of participants was 33.5 ± 7.4. We found that 38.1% of thefemales had positive bad obstetric history. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was33.32%, 50.83%, and 60.3%, respectively. In correlation analysis, notably bad obstetric history andworking females were significant independent factors for higher levels of depression, anxiety, andstress. The depression was also found more in literate females and the third trimester.CONCLUSION: The study indicates high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in pregnant femaleswho tested positive for COVID‑19. The emotional difficulties were found to be higher in educated andworking females. The bad obstetric history was found to be an independent factor for higher levels ofemotional difficulties in COVID‑positive pregnant females. This calls for extra measures to promotethe mental health and resilience of pregnant females, especially during a crisis.

Read More BACKGROUND AND AIM: The inability of women to demand from their husbands, for not smoking,has been reported as a factor in exposure to cigarette smoke. This study aimed to investigate theperceived barriers and self‑efficacy of pregnant women regarding second‑hand smoke (SHS) at home.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross‑sectional study, and the sample size was 255pregnant women who visited the health‑care centers in Isfahan, Iran, from July 2018 to September2018, and were selected randomly and voluntarily. A questionnaire was designed to collect thedata about the exposure to smoke, perceived barriers, and self‑efficacy. The data were analyzedusing descriptive statistics (mean score and standard deviation), inferential statistics (nonparametricMann–Whitney and Kendall test), and Spearman’s correlation and regression.RESULTS: The mean score of self‑efficacy in the exposure group was lower than that the othergroup (P = 0.000). The mean score of perceived barrier was not a significant difference (P = 0.449).Personal perceived barriers are the most important predictor of self‑efficacy of pregnant womenin exposure to SHS (95% confidence interval: 0.013–0.262) (P = 0.030). Kendall test comparingitems within the group and Mann–Whitney test comparing the two groups showed that personalfactors such as “Unaware of the dangers of SHS and protective measures” for notexposed womenand environmental factor “the lack of ban smoking law at home” for exposed women are consideredthe most important barriers (P = 0.000). “Not being together a husband” (P = 0.293) and “going toanother place when smoking a husband” (P = 0.000) are the highest self‑efficacy items.CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to develop training programs to increase self‑efficacy to avoidexposure to SHS and for both pregnant women and their husbands. It is also necessary to educateand inform about SHS and protective measures against it and to set up “smoking ban law” at homein our country to protect pregnant women.
