Study background: Studies have confirmed that the nurse during the period of delivery would be the deciding factor whether the woman would have a positive or negative birth experience. This experience depends on the quality of nursing care during childbirth. Hence it is important to know their lived experience of nursing care during childbirth. This is because patients’ satisfactory of services rendered is a yardstick for measuring quality of care. However, there is no literature on the lived experience of postpartum women regarding the nursing care rendered to them during childbirth in the context of Ghanaian health system. Accordingly, the objective of the study was to discover postpartum women lived experience of nursing care during childbirth. Methods: Using hermeneutic phenomenological method, this study was conducted on 10 women who had given birth for at least six months from the time of childbirth. A purposive sampling technique was used and data was collected through semi-structured interviews which lasted between 30 to 45 minutes. All participants were made to sign a consent form before participating. Data analysis was done using Diekermann, Allen and Tanner method. Results: Analysis of the interview transcripts depicting the women’s lived experience of nursing care rendered to them during childbirth and their encounter with the health facility and other entities revealed three main themes: 1. Being in the world of pregnant women in labor needing emotional, physical and informational support 2. Encounter with the health facility and practices and needing pampering and nice communication 3. Wishing for an environment of congenial and cordial relationship during childbirth. Conclusions and implications for practice: It is recommended that health professionals who nurse pregnant women during childbirth consider their lived experiences regarding nursing care they received during childbith. The theme of Being in the world of pregnant women in labor needing emotional, physical and informational support, Encounter with health facility, and practices and needing pampering and nice communication and Wishing for an environment of congenial and cordial relationship during childbirth should be taking into consideration when nursing them. This will lead to taking care of them according to their preferences, wishes, needs and values which will lead to their satisfaction and hence quality of care.

Abstract Date Presented 04/13/21 Results of a qualitative phenomenological study of the influence of spirituality on the lived experience of Christians during the rehabilitation process are shared. Findings show the pervasive impact of spirituality on occupational participation, performance, and engagement and align with the concepts of Humbert’s conceptual model of spirituality. This study of spirituality as expressed from a specific worldview perspective advances the provision of holistic, culturally relevant OT services.

Objective: To explore the early preventive treatment of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP) in pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed to examine the drug intervention on recurrent HTGP and related pregnancy outcomes among women who had HTGP in their past pregnancy and developed hyperlipidemia during the second pregnancy. Participants were identified through inpatient case records under a single physician at the clinic and divided into two groups. The intervention group was given metformin lipid-lowering combined with low-molecular-weight heparin to prevent thrombosis when hypertriglyceridemia was developed during the pregnancy. In contrast, the non-intervention group includes those who did not receive active drug treatment until they developed recurrent HTGP. Metabolic markers were also examined by comparing them with their respective past pregnancies. Results: All participants experienced elevated triglycerides during their two consecutive pregnancies. No pregnant women developed HTGP in the intervention group (n=12), while 10 of 13 (76.9%) women developed HTGP in the non-intervention group. Thus, the outcome seemed to be markedly different. In the intervention group, 11 women were gestated to term, and one was premature; one of 12 (8.3%) births was neonatal asphyxia; there was no low-weight birth, and the prognosis of mother and baby was favorable. Of 10 women who developed recurrent HTGP in the non-intervention group, four suffered from fetal loss, four had premature, and two had full-term delivery; among the three pregnant women without HTGP, one had a premature and two had full-term births; five of thirteen (38.5%) births were neonatal asphyxia. Conclusion: Pregnant women with HTGP history, if not treated, are likely to develop the condition recurrently during pregnancy, but timely intervention on hypertriglyceridemia with lipid-lowering and thrombosis-preventing seemed complete to reduce the recurrent HTGP and improve the pregnancy outcomes.
