Read More BACKGROUND: Anxiety before and pain intensity after cesarean section is among the factors thatshould be taken into consideration among the candidates for cesarean section. The present studyaimed to investigate the effect of familiarity with cesarean section and the operating room environmenton anxiety and pain intensity among the mothers undergoing cesarean section.METHODS: This clinical trial was conducted on 80 women referred to the hospitals affiliated toShiraz University of Medical Sciences for cesarean section in 2018. The participants were randomlydivided into a control (n = 40) and an intervention group (n = 40). The intervention group took partin four educational sessions, while the control group received the hospital’s routine care. The BeckAnxiety Inventory was completed by the two groups before and after the intervention. The McGill PainQuestionnaire was also filled out by the two groups in the ward after the cesarean section. After all,the data were entered into the SPSS software, version 21, and were analyzed using independentt‑test and ANCOVA.RESULTS: The results showed no significant difference between the two groups regarding themean score of anxiety prior to the intervention. After the intervention, the mean score of anxietywas 7.98 ± 3.77 in the intervention group and 19.70 ± 6.45 in the control group, and the differencewas statistically significant (P < 0.0001). Indeed, the mean intensity of pain was 43.98 ± 7.63 in theintervention group and 57.75 ± 10.69 in the control group after the intervention, and the differencewas statistically significant (P < 0.017).CONCLUSION: The patients’ familiarity with cesarean section and the operating room environmentcaused a decline in the anxiety level prior to cesarean section as well as a decrease in the scoreof pain after the operation. Hence, midwives and nurses have to play effective roles in decreasingpregnant women’s anxiety and pain through identification of strategies for empowering them andmanaging their worries.

The aim of this study was to develop and investigate the psychometric indexes of thepartner version of a multidimensional vaginal penetration disorder questionnaire (PV‑MVPDQ);hence, the clinical assessment of spousal psychosexual reactions to vaginismus by specialistswill be easier. Materials and Methods: A mixed‑methods sequential exploratory design wasused, through that, the findings from a thematic qualitative research with 20 unconsummatedcouples, which followed by an extensive literature review used for development of PV‑MVPDQ.A consecutive sample of 214 men who their wives’ suffered from lifelong vaginismus (LLV) basedon Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th version (DSM)‑IVTR criteria duringa cross‑sectional design, completed the questionnaire and additional questions regardingtheir demographic and sexual history. Validation measures and reliability were conducted byexploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient through SPSS version 16manufactured by SPSS Inc. (IBM corporation, Armonk, USA). Results: After conducting EFAPV‑MVPDQ emerged as having 40 items and 7 dimensions: Helplessness, sexual information,vicious cycle of penetration, hypervigilance and solicitous, catastrophic cognitions, sexualand marital adjustment and optimism. Subscales of PV‑MVPDQ showed a significantreliability (0.71‑0.85) and results of test‑retest were satisfactory. Conclusion: The presentstudy shows PV‑MVPDQ is a multi‑dimensional valid and reliable self‑report questionnaire forassessment of cognitions, sexual and marital relations related to vaginal penetrations in spousesof women with LLV.
