In Pregnancy

Objective: Mental health problems in women during pregnancy are widely associated with the negative consequences of pregnancy. Various factors can affect the mental health improvement in pregnancy. The effects of lifestyle and especially the Islamic lifestyle on mental health are unknown. Therefore, the researcher determined to examine the correlation between the Islamic lifestyle and women’s mental health in pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The study on 300 pregnant women referred to the clinics affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences was carried out as descriptive cross-sectional. The research tools included the Islamic lifestyle questionnaire and DASS-21. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between mental health and the Islamic lifestyle. (r = -0.310). The regression test results show that the mean score of the mental health problems decreases 0.09 per unit by increasing an Islamic lifestyle score. Conclusion: Since the results show that there is a significant negative relationship between Islamic lifestyle and the women’s mental health, interventional studies are suggested to increase awareness and change lifestyle in order to improve the mental health.

Women's Mental Health

Immigrant women constitute a relatively large sector of Canadian society. In 2011, immigrant women made up a fifth of Canada's female population, the highest proportion in 100 years; based on the current trends of immigration, this proportion is expected to grow over the next 20 years. As women immigrate and find themselves simultaneously experiencing an unfamiliar environment, being unacquainted with societal norms, and lacking vital social networks, they become vulnerable to mental health problems. This article aims to undertake a narrative review of the literature on immigrant women's mental health in Canada during antenatal and postpartum care by employing the transnational theory as a theoretical framework. The article starts with an overview of the theoretical framework, followed by a discussion on a literature review that particularly talks about culture, isolation and social support network, social determinants of health, and access to health care as elements to consider in avoiding mental health problem among immigrant women in antenatal and postpartum care. The literature shows a high number of depression among immigrant women, and mental health problems are higher among visible minorities than Caucasians. The highest antenatal and postpartum depression recorded are 42% and 13%, respectively. As Canada has long been and continues to be the land of immigrants, addressing the multiple factors affecting immigrant women's mental health is paramount to Canada truly achieving “health for all.”

BackgroundEpidemiological evidence for specific long-term conditions is required to inform best practices regarding the substantial health inequalities experienced by sexual minority individuals compared with heterosexual peers.AimTo describe inequalities in long-term conditions among sexual minority (lesbian, gay, and bisexual [LGB]) adults.Design & settingCross-sectional analysis of 1 341 339 nationally representative survey responses from the English GP Patient Survey (GPPS).MethodStratifying by sex, the weighted prevalence and covariate-adjusted association of 15 long-term conditions were calculated, comparing sexual minority and heterosexual adults, considering variation by sexual orientation and variation in sexual orientation inequalities by deprivation, ethnic group, region, and age.ResultsAfter adjusting for deprivation, ethnic group, region, and age, 13 long-term conditions (all except cancer and hypertension) were more prevalent among sexual minority women than their heterosexual peers, with the largest inequalities for mental health problems (odds ratio [OR] 2.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.7 to 3.0), neurological conditions (OR 1.7, 95% CI = 1.5 to 1.8), dementia (OR 1.6, 95% CI = 1.3 to 1.9), and back problems (OR 1.4, 95% CI = 1.3 to 1.5). It was found that nine long-term conditions were also more prevalent among sexual minority men including mental health problems (OR 2.3, 95% CI = 2.2 to 2.4), 'all other conditions' (OR 1.8, 95% CI = 1.7 to 1.8), neurological conditions (OR 1.5, 95% CI = 1.4 to 1.6), and kidney or liver disease (OR 1.4, 95% CI = 1.3 to 1.5); inequalities were often largest for bisexual adults. Inequalities did not vary significantly by deprivation, ethnic group, or region except for mental health problems. Inequalities in multimorbidity were highest at younger ages; for example, LGB women aged 18–24 years had multimorbidity at the same level (approximately 20%) as heterosexual women aged 45–54 years.ConclusionSexual minority adults, especially bisexual adults, are at elevated risk for many long-term conditions and multimorbidity; this risk spans socioeconomic status and ethnic group, representing a significant healthcare challenge.

AbstractThis study performed a repeated cross-sectional analysis to explore possible trends in mental health problems among Chinese adolescents during 2016-2020. A total of 2837 seventh-grade students from Changsha city were surveyed in three waves in 2016, 2019 and 2020. The results showed that obsessive–compulsive tendencies, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, academic stress and emotional disturbance problems were significantly increased in surveyed adolescents during 2016-2020. Moreover, positive rates of most of these problems were higher in females than males, and were significantly increased in only females. These results highlight the importance of focusing on mental health among Chinese adolescents, especially girls.

(1) Background: We aimed to evaluate the association between sociodemographic factors and mental health problems and the sequelae of stroke in South Korea by analyzing the annual Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES) conducted from 2016 to 2019. (2) Methods: Data were obtained from 32,379 participants who participated in the KNHANES (2016–2019). A total of 567 participants diagnosed with stroke were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of sequelae: (a) stroke patients with sequelae (n = 227, 40.0%) and (b) stroke patients without sequelae (n = 340, 60.0%). (3) Results: Compared to stroke patients without sequelae, those with sequelae were significantly associated with sex (male, 61.2% vs. 47.6%, p = 0.002), household income (lower half, 78.9% vs. 67.4%, p = 0.005), owning a house (60.4% vs. 68.5%, p = 0.048), marital status (unmarried, 7.05% vs. 1.76%, p < 0.001), depression (13.2% vs. 7.35%, p = 0.045), suicidal ideation (6.17% vs. 3.24%, p = 0.010), and suicide attempts (2.64% vs. 0.88%, p = 0.012). (4) Conclusions: Our study showed that poor sociodemographic factors and mental health problems were significantly associated with sequelae from stroke. Clinical physicians should therefore carefully screen for depression and suicidality in stroke patients with sequelae, especially in those with poor sociodemographic factors.
