Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Thus, preexisting interventions may be more easily transferrable to pregnant populations. Second, GDM and postpartum depression can be diagnosed through routine screening, with GDM diagnosed via prenatal glucose testing and postpartum depression diagnosed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Indeed, 9.3% of interventions measured the extent/accuracy with which patients review their own biodata, including blood glucose levels.

Targeted Behavior Change Communication Using a Mobile Health Platform to Increase Uptake of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets Among Pregnant Women in Tanzania: Hati Salama “Secure Voucher” Study Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Pregnant women and adolescents are at heightened risk of morbidity and mortality by malaria, with 22% of pregnant women exposed to malaria in East and Southern Africa in 2020 [1]. Malaria infection during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, premature delivery, low birth weight, or death in neonates, as well as maternal anemia and maternal death [2].

Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

This contributes to poorer health outcomes experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pregnant women, babies, and young children compared with Caucasian Australians [2,4,6]. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women of childbearing age (15 years and older) are overrepresented in behavioral risk factors impacting health outcomes.

Prevention of Recurrent Spontaneous Preterm Delivery Using Probiotics (Clostridium butyricum, Enterococcus faecium, and Bacillus subtilis; PPP Trial): Protocol for a Prospective, Single-Arm, Nonblinded, Multicenter Trial

We will recruit pregnant women who meet all the inclusion criteria and do not have any of the listed exclusion criteria. In Japan, most women visit an obstetrical clinic between 5 weeks and 8 weeks of gestation. After confirming the eligibility criteria, we will register pregnant women.

Exploring User Experiences of the Mom2B mHealth Research App During the Perinatal Period: Qualitative Study

Exploring User Experiences of the Mom2B mHealth Research App During the Perinatal Period: Qualitative Study

We stratified the cohort into 4 categories based on participants’ perinatal status (pregnant or postpartum at the time of recruitment) and whether or not they reported recently experiencing depression symptoms (women were considered depressed if their latest EPDS score on the app was 12 or above and considered as not depressed if the score was 10 or below). We aimed for focus groups of 5 to 6 participants, with an equal distribution of women from all 4 stratification categories in each focus group.

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Gestational Weeks, Initial Maternal Perception of Fetal Movement, and Individual Interoceptive Differences in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Fetal movements begin in the eighth week of pregnancy, initially subtle and imperceptible to pregnant women. In the absence of maternal or fetal complications, differences in fetal development up to 20 weeks of gestation are minimal [3]. Therefore, fetal development is unlikely to influence a pregnant woman’s initial awareness of fetal movement. Recently, interoception has attracted attention in the fields of psychosomatic medicine and psychology [4].

Examining the Effectiveness of Interactive Webtoons for Premature Birth Prevention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Moreover, step-by-step, long-term interventions are recommended for women both before and during pregnancy, with most intervention development concentrating on pregnant women and neglecting WCA in prepregnancy stages [7]. To prevent premature birth, it is crucial for women to be aware of its risks and to cultivate preventive health behaviors.

A Mindfulness-Based App Intervention for Pregnant Women: Protocol for a Pilot Feasibility Study

A Mindfulness-Based App Intervention for Pregnant Women: Protocol for a Pilot Feasibility Study

The literature indicates that pregnant women commonly experience psychological symptoms, with anxiety, stress, and depression being among the most frequent. Specifically, between 12.2% and 39% of pregnant women are reported to experience symptoms of anxiety and psychosocial stress [2], the latter defined as “an imbalance that a pregnant woman perceives when she is unable to cope with the demands of the new condition, which manifests itself behaviourally and psychologically” [3].
