The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Reproductive Attitudes of Russian Women

The article presents the results of a sociological survey aimed at studying the impact of the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 on the reproductive attitudes of Russian women. The results of the survey showed that 19% of respondents postponed the birth of children due to the pandemic. 75% of respondents were not affected by the pandemic, since they did not plan to have a child, about 6% gave birth or will give birth to a child, as they wanted. Also, for 16% of respondents, the number of conflicts in the family has increased significantly, which may indicate the likelihood of a breakdown in relations, which will also negatively affect the demographic situation in the country. At the same time, about 63% of respondents noted that their incomes have become lower, for 31% of respondents, the income level has not changed, and for 6%, income has increased. Low family incomes also have a negative impact on the desire to have children. Since the beginning of a pandemic in Russia was announced in March 2020, due to physiological reasons, changes in the reproductive attitudes of women are likely to be noticeable only in statistics for 2021. since 2020, the number of births has decreased by 1%, the number of marriages has increased by 34%, and the number of divorces has increased by 33%. Thus, at the moment, the operational data of Rosstat do not agree with the results of our sociological survey. The reason could be that the survey was conducted on the Internet, and respondents who were more worried about the pandemic than the average Russian women of reproductive age showed an increased interest in it, so the proportion of women who postpone the birth of children due to the pandemic, according to the survey, may turn out to be higher. than the average in Russia.

The Impact

Relevance. Today, the nature of the impact of the inflammatory process caused by Trichomonas infection on the persistence of HPV and immune response, as a consequence of the progression of intraepithelial lesions of the cervix, is not fully understood. Objectives: based on a retrospective clinical and statistical analysis to determine the risk factors for cervical dysplasia in women of reproductive age. Materials and methods. A clinical and statistical analysis for 392 medical records of patients of reproductive age with verified HPV and Trichomonas Vaginalis, who received pathogenetic therapy at the clinical bases of the Bogomolets National Medical University Obstetrics and Gynecology № 3 Department and LLC "Clinic Profimed" for 2015-2019. As a result of a retrospective study of patients systematized by age, complaints, the presence of genital and extragenital pathology, reproductive history and the state of reproductive function, social status. Results. According to the analysis of anamnesis indicators, the main risk factors for precancerous cervical conditions were: early onset of sexual life, menstrual disorders (29.1%), high incidence of childhood infectious diseases (63.5%), somatic pathology (71.2 %), irregular use of barrier contraception (19.9%), genital diseased caused by sexually transmitted infections (STD), including HPV and Trichomonas Vaginalis, frequent abortions (41.6%) and childbirth with cervical trauma, low level of medical and sexual cultures and smoking (65.3%). The systemic negative impact of numerous risk factors on the body contributed to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) development in women of reproductive age. Conclusion. The retrospective study proves the need for stratification of patients with for CIN risk, requires management of cervical pathology in women with HPV and detected Trichomonas Vaginalis, which will increase the effectiveness of diagnosis, treatment and recurrence prevention.

The Moment

According to modern literature, the frequency of preoperative diagnostic errors for tumour-like formations is 30.9–45.6%, for malignant ovarian tumors is 25.0–51.0%. The complexity of this situation is asymptomatic tumor in the ovaries and failure to identify a neoplastic process, which is especially important for young women, as well as ease the transition of tumors from one category to another (evolution of the tumor) and the source of the aggressive behavior of the tumor. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the history of concomitant gynecological pathology in a group of patients of reproductive age with ovarian tumors and tumoroid formations, as a predisposing factor for the development of neoplastic process in the ovaries. In our work, we collected and processed complaints and data of obstetric and gynecological anamnesis of 168 patients of reproductive age (18–40 years), operated on the basis of the Department of oncogynecology for tumors and ovarian tumours in the Samara Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary from 2012 to 2015. We can conclude that since the prognosis of neoplastic process in the ovaries is generally good with timely detection and this disease occurs mainly in women of reproductive age, doctors need to know that when assessing the parity and the presence of gynecological pathology at the moment or in anamnesis, it is not possible to identify alarming risk factors for the development of cancer in the ovaries.

The Impact

Background: the COVID-19 pandemic and the implemented restrictions have changed the functioning of healthcare systems worldwide. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of the present epidemiological situation on patients’ decisions about undergoing weight loss surgery. Methods: data were collected from 906 bariatric patients by the means of a national online survey, the majority of whom were women (87.9%). The survey started on 9 April 2020 and was open until 28 April 2020. The questionnaire included multiple choice and open questions, divided into three chapters: general information about the patient, life during the COVID-19 pandemic, and bariatric care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: despite the pandemic and the associated risk of COVID-19 infection, 443 responders (48.9%) would have decided to undergo bariatric surgery. Awareness of the negative impact of obesity on the course of COVID-19 illness had only marginable impact on patients’ decision-making (76.6% vs. 75.3%; p < 0.80). Contact with COVID-19 prior to the survey had a negative impact on the willingness to undergo bariatric surgery (3.0% vs. 4.4%; p < 0.55). There was a positive correlation between the BMI and preference for bariatric surgery in the time of the pandemic (37.4 ± 9.0 vs. 34.9 ± 8.7; p < 0.001). Conclusions: the level of awareness about the advantages of operative treatment of obesity is high among bariatric patients. The majority of patients awaiting bariatric surgery at the moment of the survey were positive about undergoing bariatric surgery despite the increased risk of a serious course of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, a large proportion of patients was determined to have bariatric treatment even during the pandemic, being aware of the increased risk of worse pace of COVID-19 disease in case of obesity and related diseases.

The Impact

Children being left behind by their parents whose migrating are vulnerable to face social problems. Several studies noted the negative impact on migration on the children, but some positive impact on the household prosperity were gained as well. Even though it has the negative impact, international migration has an increasing tendency to become one of the efforts to boost the household economy. This article uses data from CHAMPSEA (Child Health and Migrant Parents in South East Asia) Study which underlined the importance to know the child’s condition as the impact of international migration phenomena towards the family they left behind. Study showed that children being left by migrated parents, especially fathers, gave more positive responses, but those being left by mothers or both of the parents gave more negative responses. Nevertheless, those children apparently had desire to do migration abroad just as their parents did. Apparently the surrounding of the migrants and the better economy of migrant households had in uenced the children to do migration and work abroad as well.

Family is one entity that has complex variables underplaying the consumption decisions, and marketers must understand how couples behave in concert to resolve conflict across major decisions. In this study, the family aspects are investigated to shed more light on spouse attitude towards family decision-making for selection of car and school/college for their ward and assess the impact of attitudinal factor on decision satisfaction. The drop-off/pick-up method was used to collect the data from Northern India. The result reveals that spousal attitude is formed by marital power, assertiveness, subtle manipulation, love, bargaining and being submissive. Results of multiple regression analysis show that subtle manipulation is most and marital power has a negative impact on spouses’ decision satisfaction. Thus, when targeting a family for a significant trades assay, the salesperson should focus on both husband and wife and stimulate a conversation between them to appeal to their conjoint kinship.

The Impact

This article presents reviews of literature sources on the clinical and pathogenetic aspects of the course of a new coronovirus infection in pregnant women, in order to analyze the features of the course of COVID-19 in pregnant women and to assess the impact of infection on the body of a woman and a fetus. Pregnancy is a special physiological condition, during which a number of changes occur in the body, not only in the hormonal status, but also in the immune system. The urgency of this problem is due to the high prevalence of new coronavirus infection among the population. On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO), as a result of the dynamic development of the epidemic in many countries and continents, declared a global pandemic of the contagious disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. According to available studies, pregnant women are more susceptible to a more severe course of infectious diseases affecting the upper respiratory tract. According to various studies, a new coronavirus infection can lead to premature birth, miscarriage, and preeclampsia. Separate studies show increased mortality in pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 virus does not have a direct teratogenic effect on the fetus, but it can indirectly lead to harmful effects on the developing organism. Special attention should be paid to the issue of vaccination of pregnant women against a new coronavirus infection, at the moment there is no accurate data on the effect of the vaccine on the body of the pregnant woman and the fetus. In this regard, the question of the impact of a new coronavirus infection on the course of pregnancy has become relevant.
