Повний текст джерелаMany of the known risk factors associated with low birth weight, such as socio-economic status, ethnicity, genetic makeup, and obstetric history, are not within a women's immediate control. However, there are many things that a woman can do to improve her chances of having a normal healthy child. Lifestyle behaviours, such as cigarette smoking, nutrition and the use of alcohol, play an important role in determining the growth of the fetus. The aim of this study was to establish the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to lifestyle factors such as alcohol use, smoking and nutrition among childbearing women and health care workers on the farms in Stellenbosch and Vredendal.

Повний текст джерелаThis study aimed to explore the attitudes to HIV testing among a group of black, low socio-economic status pregnant women from Gugulethu, South Africa. The key research interest was to evaluate the attitudes and understandings of HIV/AIDS that underpin the decision to comply or not comply with prenatal HIV testing. Theories of health behaviour concur that the extent to which an individual will engage in a given health behaviour, such as HIV test compliance, will be a function of the extent to which a person believes she is personally susceptible to the particular illness and her evaluation of the severity of the consequences of contracting the disease.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which is the most common cause of mental and learning disabilities in the world, is totally preventable. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is not a genetic or inherited condition; however, it is permanent and reduces human potential. There is no cure or treatment. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder does not distinguish between race, class or culture and can affect children from all socio-economic groups. It is however more prevalent amongst poor, uneducated, uninformed and marginalised (minority groups) or aboriginal communities due to a variety of historical, sociopolitical and economic reasons. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder has become a public health problem in South Africa in provinces like the Western and Northern Cape (winegrowing areas), where substantial research has been conducted and where alcohol abuse can be traced back to the ‘dop’ system. The highest documented prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in the world has been identified in these provinces amongst a marginalised group of people classified in South Africa as ‘coloured’. A substantial amount of research has been conducted on the characteristics, manifestation and prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in South Africa, but no research has yet been done to ascertain educators’ knowledge of and attitude to learners with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. In view of the high prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in South Africa, and the possibility that many of the learners with learning and behavioural problems in our schools could be victims of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (also known as a ‘hidden disability’) I concentrated my research on schools situated in low socio-economic areas on the Cape Flats where poverty and unemployment are high and shebeens are plentiful. Through this research I firstly wished to establish how much knowledge educators have of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and what their attitudes are toward learners manifesting the disorder. Secondly, my aim was to ascertain to what extent educators are able to support and identify these learners. Qualitative research methods and an interpretive constructivist paradigm were used to conduct the study. Data was primarily collected through the use of interviews, focus group discussions, observations and a research journal. Nine participants, from three different low socio-economic schools (one from each educational phase) on the Cape Flats, were involved. Themes that emerged from the data were analysed and recorded through the constant comparative method. They are discussed together with the research findings. This study revealed important issues pertaining to educators’ knowledge of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and whether they are able to assist learners presenting with this disorder in mainstream education in South Africa. A number of recommendations are made for further research in this field.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom, wat as die algemeenste oorsaak van verstandelike en leergestremdhede in die wêreld beskou word, is ʼn sindroom wat voorkom kan word. Die sindroom is nie geneties of oorerflik nie, maar die skade is permanent omdat daar geen behandeling en teenmiddel is nie. Dit het gevolglik ʼn negatiewe impak op menslike vermoëns. Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom kan kinders van alle sosioekonomiese groepe affekteer en alhoewel dit nie kultuur-, ras- of klasgebonde is nie, is dit oorwegend ʼn algemene verskynsel onder groepe met ʼn lae opvoedingspeil, diegene wat oningelig en gemarginaliseer is (minderheidsgroepe) of dié wat as inboorlinggemeenskappe bekend staan, wat toegeskryf kan word aan verskeie historiese, sosio-politieke en ekonomiese redes. Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom is tans ʼn openbare gesondheidsprobleem in Suid-Afrika, veral in die wynstreke van die Wes- en Noord-Kaap. Omvattende navorsing is al in genoemde provinsies gedoen waar alkoholmisbruik ʼn lang aanloop het en verbind word met die dopstelsel. Die Wes-Kaap en Noord-Kaap is alombekend as provinsies met die hoogste voorkomsyfer van Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom FASD in die wêreld, veral onder ʼn gemarginaliseerde groep mense wat as die kleurlinge’ bekend staan. Alhoewel omvattende navorsing oor die karaktereienskappe, manifestasies en voorkoms van Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom in Suid-Afrika reeds gedoen is, kon geen navorsing gevind word wat die kennis van opvoeders en hul en houdings jeens leerders met Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom probeer vasstel nie. As die hoë voorkoms van Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom in ag geneem word, asook die moontlikheid dat baie leerders in ons skole leer- en gedragsprobleme manifesteer, kan daar waarskynlik slagoffers van Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom wees en wie se gestremdhede dus ‘onsigbaar’ is. My navorsing fokus daarom hoofsaaklik op skole in die lae sosio-ekonomiese areas van die Kaapse Vlakte, waar armoede en werkloosheid hoogty vier en waar daar ʼn hoë voorkoms van onwettige drankwinkels (‘sjebiens’) is. My primêre doel met hierdie navorsing was om die kennis van onderwysers oor Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom te bepaal en om die houding van opvoeders jeens leerders wat met kenmerke van hierdie sindroom vas te stel. Ek wou ook vasstel tot welke mate opvoeders bevoeg om is leerders met Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom te identifiseer en te ondersteun. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes en ʼn interpretatiewe konstruktivistiese paradigma is in die studie gebruik. Data is primêr ingesamel met behulp van onderhoude, fokusgroep-besprekings, observasies en ʼn navorsingsjoernaal. Nege deelnemers verbonde aan drie verskillende skole met lae sosio-ekonomiese vlakke (een opvoeder van elke opvoedingsfase), op die Kaapse Vlakte was by die studie betrokke. Temas wat blootgelê is deur die data is ontleed en by wyse van die konstante vergelykende metode opgeneem. Hulle word saam met die navorsingsbevindings bespreek. Die navorsing toon belangrike aspekte van opvoeders se kennis van Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom. Dit bevraagteken ook of hoofstroom-opvoeders in staat is om leerders met Fetale Alkohol Spektrumsindroom te ondersteun. Voortspruitend uit die bevindings word aanbevelings gemaak vir verdere ondersoeke op hierdie gebied.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The vast majority of new Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections in infants and young children occur through mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT), either during pregnancy, labour or delivery or by breastfeeding. Without access to perinatal MTCT (PMTCT) programmes approximately 30% of all babies born annually will be infected with HIV. OBJECTIVES The aim was to implement and audit a quality improvement cycle at the Worcester Obstetric Unit, which comprises of Worcester Hospital, a regional hospital in the Western Cape Province and its level one midwife obstetric Unit (MOU), in order to improve the quality of the PMTCT programme. The intervention included the implementation of easy changes and tools in the Antenatal Clinic, Infectious Diseases Clinic and Labour ward. METHODS The files and antenatal records of all HIV positive patients and patients with an unknown HIV status, who delivered at the Worcester Obstetric Unit during January, February and March of 2010 and 2011, were reviewed. All HIV negative patients and patients that had stillbirths and miscarriages were excluded. The pre-interventional findings of 2010 were compared with the post-interventional findings of 2011. RESULTS At the Worcester Obstetric Unit, for the study time period, there were 907 deliveries in 2010, of which 102 (11.2%) patients were HIV positive and 4 (0.4%) had an unknown HIV status compared to 2011, with 865 deliveries of which 108(12.5%) patients were HIV positive and no patients had an unknown HIV status. Significantly more patients were diagnosed with HIV before they fell pregnant than during pregnancy in the 2011 group, when compared with the 2010 group. A CD4 count was done on 94% of patients who were newly diagnosed with HIV and those with an unknown CD4 count result in the 2010 group, compared to 92% in 2011. There was a significant improvement after the intervention in the time it took from when blood was drawn for a CD4 count until the result was followed up, the median time decreased from 34 to 8 days (p=0.000001). Significantly more patients qualified for highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) after the guidelines were changed and the CD4 cut off was increased to 350 cells/l (p=0.001). Prior the intervention 18 patients did not receive the correct management before delivery due to preventable reasons, compared to one at the MOU. After the intervention this decreased significantly to only one patient at Worcester Hospital and none at the MOU (p=0.000001). Before the intervention adherence to the PMTCT protocol at the MOU was significantly better than at the hospital (p=0.0005) and after the intervention there was no significant difference (p=1.0). CONCLUSION Although the audit and quality improvement cycle was performed at a single hospital, with specific changes geared towards their needs, the basic principles can be applied to any Unit in the country providing a PMTCT service. Educating staff, creating awareness and reminding staff of the basic principles of PMTCT, implementing small changes and streamlining processes and setting specific goals or timelines, can lead to significant improvements in care, which ultimately will lead to a decrease in PMTCT of HIV and HIV related maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oorgrote meerderheid (>90%) van nuwe Menslike Immuniteitsgebreksvirus (MIV) infeksies in babas en jong kinders vind plaas deur middel van moeder-na-kind-oordrag, hetsy gedurende swangerskap, die kraamproses of borsvoeding. Sonder toegang tot perinatale voorkomingsprogramme (PMTCT) sal ongeveer 30% van alle babas jaarliks met MIV geïnfekteer word. DOELWITTE Die doel van die studie was om ‘n gehalteverbeteringsiklus by die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid, wat bestaan uit Worcester Hospitaal, 'n streekshospitaal in die Wes-Kaapprovinsie en sy vlak een vroedvrou verlossingseenheid (VVE), te implementer en daarna te oudit, om sodoende die gehalte van die PMTCT-program te verbeter. Die intervensie het bestaan uit die implementering van eenvoudige veranderinge en prosesse in die voorgeboortekliniek, infeksiesiekte-kliniek en kraamsaal. METODES Die lêers en voorgeboorte rekords van alle MIV-positiewe pasiënte en pasiënte met 'n onbekende MIV-status, wat gedurende Januarie, Februarie en Maart van 2010 en 2011 verlos het by die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid, is nagegaan. Alle MIV-negatiewe pasiënte en pasiënte met doodgebore babas en miskrame is uitgesluit. Die pre-intervensie bevindings van 2010 is vergelyk met die post-intervensie bevindings van 2011. RESULTATE By die Worcester Verloskunde Eenheid was daar 907 geboortes gedurende die studietydperk in 2010, waarvan 102 (11,2%) pasiënte MIV-positief was en 4 (0,4%) met ‘n onbekende MIV-status. In 2011 was daar 865 geboortes waarvan 108 (12,5%) pasiënte MIV-positief was en geen met 'n onbekende MIV-status. In die 2011-groep is beduidend meer pasiënte gediagnoseer met MIV voor as tydens swangerskap. In die 2010-groep is daar 'n CD4-telling gedoen vir 94% van nuut gediagnoseerde pasiënte en diegene met 'n onbekende CD4-telling, in vergelyking met 92% in 2011. Daar was 'n beduidende verbetering na die intervensie in die tyd wat dit geneem het vandat bloed getrek is vir 'n CD4-telling totdat die resultaat opgevolg is. Die mediane tyd het verminder vanaf 34 na 8 dae (p = 0.000001). Nadat die riglyne vir kwalifisering vir hoogs aktiewe antiretrovirale terapie (HAART) verander is na ‘n CD4 telling 350 selle/l het daar beduidend meer pasiënte gekwalifiseer vir HAART. By Worcester Hospitaal het 18 pasiënte voor die intervensie nie die korrekte behandeling intrapartum ontvang nie weens voorkombare redes, in vergelyking met slegs een pasiënt by die VVE. Na die intervensie was daar ‘n beduidende afname na slegs een pasiënt by Worcester Hospitaal en geen by die MOU (p = 0.000001). Voor die intervensie was die korrekte uitvoering van die PMTCT-protokol by die MOU beduidend beter as by die hospitaal (p = 0,0005) en na die intervensie was daar geen beduidende verskil (p = 1.0). GEVOLGTREKKING Alhoewel die oudit en gehalteverbeteringsiklus uitgevoer is by 'n enkele hospitaal, met spesifieke veranderinge gerig tot hul behoeftes, kan die basiese beginsels toegepas word in enige eenheid in die land wat ‘n PMTCT diens verskaf. Opvoeding van personeel en bewusmaking rakende die basiese beginsels van PMTCT, klein veranderinge en die vaartbelyning van prosesse by die voorgeboorte klinieke en die stel van spesifieke doelwitte of tydlyne, kan lei tot aansienlike verbeteringe in pasiënte sorg. Dit sal uiteindelik lei tot 'n afname in die MIV oordrag van moeder na kind, asook MIV-verwante morbiditeit en mortaliteit in moeders en kinders.

This exploratory study of thirty-two women between the ages of seventeen and forty provides a description of sexuality during a first pregnancy using the conceptual framework of adult development based on Levinson's theory. The two purposes of this study were to study the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavior of women pregnant for the first time (these women being at various chronological ages which corresponded to Levinson's four phases of early adulthood), and to assess in more detail the specific developmental life issues of these pregnant women as they interfaced with their perceived sexuality during the time of this first pregnancy. Data collection consisted of the administration of the Sex Knowledge and Attitude Test to the thirty-two volunteer participants who were in the last month of their first pregnancy. After completion of this questionnaire, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight of those volunteers. [TRUNCATED]

Durante a gestação, uma imagem corporal negativa é de particular importância, pois pode ter implicações graves para a saúde materna e infantil. Objetivo geral: Avaliar atitudes relacionadas à imagem corporal (atratividade, autodepreciação, gordura total, saliência do corpo, percepção de gordura na porção inferior do corpo e força e fitness) de gestantes na cidade de Juiz de Fora/MG. Métodos: Este estudo adotou multimétodos de investigação, quais sejam: quantitativo, descritivo, correlacional, transversal e longitudinal. Participaram da pesquisa, no total, 386 gestantes que realizavam o pré-natal nos setores público e privado da cidade de Juiz de Fora/Minas Gerais (MG), entre 18 a 46 anos de idade (média de 29,32 ± 6,04 anos), sendo que 17 destas foram avaliadas longitudinalmente. Os instrumentos utilizados para avaliação foram: Body Attitudes Questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test - 26, Beck Depression Inventory, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, a versão curta do Brazilian State-Trait Anxiety Inventory e questionário sociodemográfico. Ademais, foram coletados dados antropométricos e obstétricos. Resultados: 1) As atitudes relacionadas à imagem corporal de gestantes no primeiro trimestre foram similares aos daquelas no segundo e terceiro trimestre. Aquelas classificadas com maior IMC e alto risco gestacional apresentaram imagem corporal mais negativa. As variáveis sociodemográficas, econômicas e obstétricas não influenciaram estatisticamente a variância das atitudes corporais. Apenas o IMC foi preditor significativo de aspectos da dimensão atitudinal da imagem corporal nas grávidas avaliadas. 2) As atitudes alimentares inadequadas, a baixa autoestima, os sintomas depressivos e o elevado IMC influenciaram as atitudes corporais negativas das gestantes avaliadas. Os resultados indicaram que 20,47% e 12,17% das participantes, respectivamente, apresentaram condutas alimentares deletérias à saúde e sintomas de depressão. 3) O IMC, as atitudes corporais negativas e o “sentimento de gordura” aumentaram progressivamente ao longo da gestação. As atitudes alimentares, os sintomas depressivos, a autoestima e a ansiedade estado não diferiram estatisticamente nos três momentos avaliados. Além disso, o IMC foi preditor das atitudes direcionadas ao corpo no primeiro trimestre, enquanto as atitudes alimentares no segundo e terceiro trimestre. Conclusão: São necessários estudos futuros que objetivem a criação de ferramentas avaliativas da imagem corporal de gestantes brasileiras. Isso tornaria possível uma maior compreensão das preocupações particulares relacionadas ao corpo nessa fase da vida da mulher, o que pode refletir no bem-estar e na saúde da mãe e bebê.
During pregnancy, a negative body image is of particular importance because can have serious implications for maternal and child health. General Objective: To evaluate attitudes related to body image (attractiveness, disparagement, feeling fat, salience, lower body fatness and strength and fitness) of pregnant women in the city of Juiz de Fora/MG. Methods: This study adopted multimethod research, namely: quantitative, descriptive, correlational, transversal and longitudinal. A total of 386 pregnant women who received prenatal care in the public and private sectors of the city of Juiz de Fora/Minas Gerais (MG), 18 to 46 years old (mean 29.32 ± 6.04 years old), and 17 of these took part in longitudinal study. The instruments used to evaluate were: Body Attitudes Questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test-26, Beck Depression Inventory, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the short version of the Brazilian State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and sociodemographic questionnaire. In addition, anthropometric and obstetric data were collected. Results: 1) The body attitudes of pregnant women in the first trimester were similar to those in the second and third trimester. Pregnant women classified with higher BMI and high gestacional risk showed higher negative body image. Socio-demographic, economic and obstetric variables did not statistically influence the variance of body attitudes. Only BMI was significant predictor of attitudinal dimension aspects of body image in pregnant woman. 2) Inadequate eating attitudes, low self-esteem, depressive symptoms and high BMI influenced the negative body attitudes of the pregnant women. The results indicated that 20.47% and 12.17% of participants, respectively, had inadequate eating attitudes and depressive symptoms. 3) BMI, negative body attitudes and the "feeling fat" increased progressively throughout pregnancy. Eating attitudes, depressive symptoms, self-esteem and anxiety state did not differ in these three conditions. In addition, BMI was a predictor of negative body attitudes in the first trimester, while inadequate eating attitudes in the second and third trimester. Conclusion: Studies are necessary aiming the creation of evaluative tools of body image of Brazilian pregnant women. This would make possible a greater understanding of the particular concerns related to the body at this stage of a woman's life, which may reflect the well-being and health of the mother and baby.

Повний текст джерелаA depressão pós-parto constitui uma situação de risco para a mãe, para o bebé, para o pai e restante família. Numa tentativa de amenizar os efeitos nefastos da depressão pós-parto, alguns investigadores debruçaram-se sobre a função do pai durante esse período. O companheiro de uma mulher com depressão pós-parto tanto pode ser um elemento desencadeador desta patologia, como parece ter um papel crucial para o seu desaparecimento, representando o membro com maior influência na alteração do comportamento da mãe e no seu restabelecimento. Perceber o que sentem, pensam e que comportamentos assumem face à depressão das companheiras e de que forma isso interfere na recuperação destas mulheres foi o objectivo desta revisão de literatura, com o propósito de nos permitir perceber os mecanismos da depressão pós-parto, e as repercussões e os comprometimentos que pode ter ao nível das dinâmicas familiares que se estabelecem entre os diferentes membros.

The questionnaires included a Demographic Inventory Scale, Knowledge of Pregnancy Scale, Attitudes toward Pregnancy Scale, and Medical Services Environment Scale. The data were analyzed by the JMP packaged statistical software. The study’s major findings include: Southeast Asian pregnant women had poorer prenatal examination behavior, including prenatal examination initiation timing and actual number prenatal examinations in the partum, than Taiwanese pregnant women. Approximately 80.3% of pregnant Southeastern Asian women start their first prenatal examination and 59.1% of the pregnant Southeastern Asian women prenatal examinations were adequate. The pregnant Southeastern Asian women’s scores of knowledge of pregnancy, attitudes toward pregnancy, and environment of medical services are significantly lower than that of Taiwanese pregnant women. Pregnant Southeastern Asian women’s demographic characteristics, knowledge of pregnancy, attitudes toward pregnancy, and environment of medical services were not significantly correlated with prenatal examination behavior. However, their attitude regarding childbirth was significantly correlated with prenatal examination behavior. The positive attitude concerning childbirth and their attitude toward prenatal examination and the year spent in Taiwan were significant predictive factors of prenatal examination behavior. The findings of this study can help nurses to understand antenatal examination behavior and relative factors regarding pregnant Southeast Asian women. The findings of this study can give guidance to nurses as they help pregnant Southeastern Asian women develop their childbearing plans, offer correct information and to help them seek medical service, and improve their health status in the partum.

Antenatal care is the health care that women receive during pregnancy before the delivery of a baby; it aims to detect and treat existing health problems and to screen for complications that may develop in pregnancy. The aim of the study was to explore and describe knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards antenatal care services in Mbombela Municipality, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual approach was used. The sample selected for the study from the population of pregnant women consisted of 18 pregnant women who attended ANC at six PHC facilities in Mbombela Municipality. Non-probability, purposive sampling was used to select the PHC facilities and the participants. Data was collected through in-depth individual interviews. The open coding method was used to analyse the data. To ensure that ethical considerations were taken into consideration, permission to conduct the study was obtained from the University of Venda Ethics Committee and the Mpumalanga Department of Health. Participation in the study was voluntary and the ethically approved protocol of informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality were adhered to. Trustworthiness was ensured by considering the criteria of transferability, credibility, dependability and applicability. The results from the study indicated that pregnant women knew about ANC services, but their knowledge of the best time to initiate ANC, as well as the procedures and importance of ANC was poor. The study found that the participants had favourable and unfavourable attitudes to ANC services. This indicates that there is a need for intensive health education regarding ANC services in the area. Findings from the study led to recommendations that there is a need to review ANC programmes to improve the knowledge of pregnant women and communities and also to address the challenges faced by women when accessing ANC services.

Повний текст джерелаThe primigravida's experience of childbirth is influenced by the knowledge and expectations she has of childbirth. Her expectations of childbirth are based on the information she got from the antenatal clinic, the nursing staff, her mother, friends and family. The purpose of this research was to determine the knowledge and expectations the primigravida has of childbirth. An exploratory, descriptive design was used within the context of an academic hospital in Johannesburg. The survey method was used. The method of research firstly consisted of a literature study of the primigravida's knowledge and expectations of childbirth. This was done in order to put the problem in perspective and also to serve as a theoretical framework for the study. Secondly, a structured questionnaire was used to make a survey of the primigravida's knowledge and expectations of childbirth. The test sample comprised all white primigravidas between the ages of 15 and 39 years with a pregnancy duration of 37 weeks and more who visited the antenatal clinic of an academic hospital in Johannesburg. Over a period of 11 weeks, from 15 october to 30 December 1989, 29 primigravidas participated in this research project. The questionnaires were completed with their visit to the antenatal clinic and then returned to the clinic staff. Descriptive statistics and frequency tables were used to interpret the results of the research. From this research it is clear that the respondents had insufficient knowledge of childbirth and the handling of pain during childbirth. This insufficient knowledge can mainly be attributed to the poor attendance of antenatal . preparation classes, inadequate professional counselling and the mother of the primigravida as the primary source of information on childbirth. The respondents, however, had realistic expectations· with regard to their handling of labour, as well as of the role of the midwife and the doctor.

Повний текст джерелаFree voluntary counselling and testing (VeT) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by the international community and many African states is the entry point into HIV and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) prevention, care, treatment and support. It is therefore worrisome that despite the Botswana government' multiple HIV preventative strategies, of the 56% Batswana who tested for HIV in 2008, only 34% know their status (National AIDS Coordinating Agency, Central Statistics Office & Ministry of Health, 2009:4). Among those who were tested, women outnumbered men, but even these women only had their HIV-status tested when they were already pregnant or when one of their children was suspected to have contracted AIDS, an observation that Hamblin and Reid (1991:4) has made years ago. Ethical standards were followed to conduct a study, the purpose of which was to explore and describe the reasons why women in Gaborone only volunteered to go for vcr of HIV when they were already pregnant, instead ofdoing so before they conceived. An exploratory, descriptive, qualitative and contextual design was used. Participants who met the sampling criteria were interviewed and data was audio-taped before transcription and analysis. An independent coder was involved to confirm the themes and sub-themes before relevant literature was searched. Strategies of trustworthiness were adhered to in the study (Lincoln & Guba, 1985:289-331). Findings revealed that the most significant reason for participants not testing for HIV prior to pregnancy was fear of consequences of an HIV-positive result, such as stigma and discrimination against them by their partners, families and communities should they test HIV-positive, Another reason was the socio-cultural beliefs, norms and values expressed in different forms. However, once they fell pregnant, they had themselves tested because their fear of losing their babies to HIV overruled their fear ofbeing ostracised by anybody else. Based on the findings, guidelines were formulated to assist midwives and HIV and AIDS counsellors to facilitate uptake of vcr of HIV prior to pregnancy among childbearing women and men from as young as +-15 years. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made concerning midwifery practice, education and possible further research on this topic on a larger scale.

In Taiwan, the most common cause of chromosomal disorder causing mental retardation is Down syndrome. Along with rapid advanced technology of prenatal Down syndrome screening and diagnosis, there are a number of different options of examination. Pregnant women should possess basic knowledge for understanding their prenatal genetic diagnosis. Therefore, during prenatal genetic examinations, women should be provided accurate and complete relevant information to understand the meaning of prenatal genetic examination results, so that while reducing stress and anxiety, the appropriate decisions could be made. This study aimed to explore the relation between pregnant women’s prenatal Down syndrome screening and diagnosis process knowledge, attitude and experience. A structured questionnaire used in Australia "prenatal screening and prenatal diagnosis" was translated into Chinese. The reliability and validity were established. Data were collected from November 1st 2014 to April 30th 2015, at maternity clinics in a regional teaching hospital in Taipei. A total of 207 pregnant women over 20 weeks gestation were recruited, the response rate was 96.28%. The study results showed the average age of pregnant women was 34.3 years old, average prenatal screening and diagnosis of Down syndrome knowledge scale standardized score of 62.77 points, which is not satisfied and should be strengthened. The main factors related to prenatal screening and diagnosis of Down syndrome knowledge including age, number of pregnancies, and the parity. Attitude scale showed an average standardized score of 68.92 points, revealing the attitude of pregnant women tend to be positive and active. As to experience scale, majority of pregnant women have heard the first trimester and the second trimester screening for Down syndrome, also have recommended by health care workers, and have an understanding of the purpose, most of them have done in the first trimester. Most of the pregnant women did not do second trimester maternal serum screening for Down syndrome. Most pregnant women have heard of chorionic villus sampling technique but health care workers did not recommend, do not understand the purpose, and did not do it. Most pregnant women have heard amniocentesis, recommended by health care workers, understanding of the purpose but did not do it. Significant factors of pregnant women’s Down syndrome prenatal screening and diagnostic knowledge and attitude were examined. Age, number of pregnancies, parity were significantly correlated to knowledge. The attitude and the number of pregnancies also significantly statistical correlated. The results of this study may be useful to clinical practice, nursing education, governmental policy, genetic counselors etc. We suggest that timely information of prenatal Down syndrome screening and diagnosis should be given to most pregnant women, thereby reducing panic effectively to the genetic diseases and related medical costs.

Background: Since the first AIDS patient was found in 1987 in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the number of people infected with HIV/AIDS has increased exponentially. In 2002, PNG became the fourth highest HIV/AIDS prevalence country in the Asia-Pacific Region. Almost 90% of HIV transmission is attributed directly to heterosexual relations and the second highest transmission route is from mother to child transmission. The goals of this study were to understand the HIV seropositive rate among pregnant women in the Port Moresby area of PNG and to understand their attitudes and knowledge on AIDS. Methods: Pregnant women attending the following four antenatal clinics (Gerehu clinic, Lawes road clinic, Six mile clinic and Clinic of University of Papua New Guinea) in Port Moresby were invited to participate in this study. Pre-test counseling and HIV-1 antibody test (Abbott Laboratory) were provided. Dry blood spots as well as questionnaires on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of HIV/AIDS were collected. Results: About 500 pregnant women were invited to participate in this study. Eventually, 267 (55.2%) complete questionnaires were collected. About 87.2% of the pregnant women were married and 19% were polygamous. A total number of 160 pregnant women received HIV antibody test and 5 (3.1%) were positive. To analyze the data, we divided the population into two groups according to their willingness and experiences to receive the HIV-1 blood test (group A, never participate and group B, did or ever participate). The results showed that these two groups had similar rate of having heard of the prevention of the mother to child transmission of HIV program (56.2% vs. 56.7%). And the wiliness to have HIV test was significant correlated to the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs related to HIV/AIDS. Discussion: The preliminary results identified several factors associated with refusal of HIV-1 antibody test. More patients will be recruited for this study. Those two HIV positive pregnant women found in this study will be followed up and prevention treatment will be provided.

Повний текст джерелаMalaria is endemic throughout Uganda and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Malaria causes complications in 80.0% of all pregnancies in Uganda. This study attempted to identify factors that influence pregnant women’s utilisation of anti-malaria services in the Buikwe district of Uganda. These factors were contextualised within the Social Learning Theory’s major concepts. The target populations comprised pregnant women attending antenatal clinics (phase 1) and midwives providing antenatal services (phase 2) at 16 clinics in the Buikwe district of Uganda during the data collection phase of the study. Structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 400 randomly selected pregnant women and with the accessible population of 40 midwives. Pregnant women, who had progressed beyond primary school level education, were more likely to take intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) drugs and to use long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) to prevent malaria. Pregnant women were more likely to implement malaria-preventive actions if they lived within five kilometres of clinics, were satisfied with available health services, were knowledgeable about the malaria preventive measures and had used IPT during previous pregnancies. Pregnant women who implemented one malaria-preventive action were likely to implement other actions as well (Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.65; p<0.05). Midwives’ provision of malaria-preventive services to pregnant women were influenced by the availability of IPT drugs, accessibility of safe drinking water, frequency of giving health education to pregnant women, cooperation with village health teams, malaria-related in-service training, midwives’ education level and experience. Although 97.9% of the pregnant women had taken IPT and 84.2% of those who had received LLINs, utilised these nets, malaria prevention during pregnancy could be improved. All pregnant women should attend antenatal clinics at least four times during each pregnancy, commencing during the first trimester of pregnancy to receive adequate health education and prenatal services, including IPT and LLINs. All midwives should receive malaria-related in-service training. Regular audits of midwives’ records should identify and address strengths and weaknesses related to the prevention and management of malaria during pregnancy. Such actions could enhance the prevention and management of malaria, estimated to affect 80% of pregnant women in Uganda.

The duration of breastfeeding has been a declining annual trend in Tuvalu. Many studies indicate that breastfeed duration is influenced by maternal knowledge and attitudes. The purpose of this study was to understand such knowledge and attitudes regarding breastfeeding among pregnant women in Tuvalu. The study was a quantitative cross–sectional survey. A convenient sampling method was applied to recruit 112 participants from Princess Margaret Hospital between July and September 2013. The two instruments used were the IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale and the Infant Feeding Knowledge Tests. Demographic data was developed by the researcher. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 18. Approval to carry out the study was officially obtained from the Director of Health Services in Tuvalu. Results indicated that the ages of the sample women ranged from 18 to 41 years with mean of 27 years (SD =5.3). The mean breastfeeding knowledge score was 61 (SD= 15.8), with scores ranging from 25 to 90. The attitude mean score was 3.7 (SD = 0.54), with scores ranging from 2.59 to 4.76. However, no significant relationship was found between demographic variables and knowledge or attitudes about breastfeeding. The relationship between knowledge and attitudes has a positive correlation (p < 0.001). The study results could be used by health care providers to improve the breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes of women in Tuvalu.
