Experience Questionnaire

Women’s experiences of childbirth have a significant impact on mother and child health and well-being as well as quality of care. A valid and reliable tool is needed to assess women's experience. This study aim was to adapt the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire to the Mongolian context and assess its psychometric properties. The study conducted between October and January 2019 at the public maternity hospital in Ulaanbaatar by recruiting a total of 828 low-risk postpartum women. The response rate was 92% (n = 761). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the 4-factor model. Reliability was good for the overall instrument (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) and for individual domains (Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.45 to 0.80). The overall and domain scores were significantly higher among women who had previous birth experience, who did not receive oxytocin augmentation, and who experienced a shorter labor duration (<12 h).The Mongolian version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for exploring the childbirth experience. It can be used to promote women-centered, respectful care in maternity hospitals.

Background: Maternal childbirth expectations play an important role in determining a woman’s response to her childbirth experience. Women need to be helped to develop realistic and positive expectations and identify the factors that influence these expectations.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare woman’s expectations and experiences of childbirth.Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out in Tabriz Alzahra Hospital from 2006 to 2007. For this purpose, a total of 600 primiparas and multiparas women who were candidates for vaginal delivery, were randomly selected and interviewed. The data were collected by questionnaire.Results: Comparison of the means of mothers expectation and experience of labor and birth between the two groups demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The findings indicated a number of differences exist between primiparas and multiparas women in relation to expectations and experiences of birth when compare two groups. The majority of women had negative expectations and experiences of childbirth.Conclusion: The evaluation and understanding of birth expectations and experiences as positive and negative is priority of maternity system. Antenatal educators need to ensure that pregnant women are appropriately prepared for what might actually happen to limit this expectation-experience gap. Health-care providers should improve the quality of antenatal care which can change negative childbirth expectations and experiences of womenJournal of Kathmandu Medical College, Vol. 4(1) 2015, 16-25

Abstract BackgroundChildbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) was developed in Sweden to assess the childbirth experience in multiple dimensions. It has been translated and validated in English, Spanish, Chinese and Persian with the aim to evaluate childbirth experience reliably. This study aimed to validate the Finnish version of the questionnaire, CEQ-FI.MethodsPrimiparous women who had given birth in Tampere University Hospital between January and May 2019 were included in the study. Women planning a cesarean delivery, delivering preterm, or women whose children were transferred to neonatal care were excluded. Eligible 450 women were mailed the questionnaire one month postpartum, and those who completed the questionnaire were mailed it again six weeks postpartum. Test-retest reliability was evaluated by computing kappa coefficients for the two responses. Background data was collected from patient records and used to perform known-groups validation. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha.ResultsOne hundred seventy-five women returned the questionnaire. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were good. Women with known risk factors for a negative childbirth experience scored lower in the questionnaire, as expected.ConclusionCEQ-FI is a valid and reliable instrument in measuring childbirth experience also among Finnish-speaking women.

Preparation of exclusive breastfeeding for pregnant mother is an effort made by pregnant mother to facilitate breastfeeding exclusively, includes information search, breast care, nutritional preparation for breastfeeding, and psychological preparation for breastfeeding. Based on introduction study for pregnant in 3rd trimester, there were 62,5% haven’t prepared exclusive breastfeeding who could impact to the success of exclusive breastfeeding program. The purpose of this research was to know the description the preparation of exclusive breastfeeding at Eva’s Maternity Hospital, Candi, Sidoarjo. The type of research was used descriptive study with survey approach. The data retrieval was conducted in July to August 2015 primarily using a structured interview guide to thirty pregnant mothers in 3rd trimester. The collected data were presented in distribution table and analyzed descriptively without statistical test. The result showed almost a half, there were 46,7% of less prepare exclusive breastfeeding during pregnancy respondents, 36,7% had done enough preparation, and only 16,7% had been prepared well. This was because 30 of respondents had not tried to find information about exclusive breastfeeding, 20% had not done breast-care yet during pregnancy, 50% had not prepared the nutritions for breastfeeding, and 50% had not prepared psychologically for breastfeeding. The research was concluded there were still less preparation of exclusive breastfeeding to pregnant mother. The suggestion for health workers that they have to improve the preparation of exclusive breastfeeding to pregnant mother so that mothers can prepare for feeding and increase the success of exclusive breasfeeding program.

Abstract Background The placenta is the principal influence on fetal birth weight, and it is thought that abnormalities of placental growth may precede abnormalities in fetal growth. Because the placenta may be the first organ to manifest changes of disease in pregnancy, placental features may have a role in screening for pregnancy complications. Aim of the Work The aim this study is to assess the accuracy of placental thickness (estimated by ultrasonography) in predicting fetal weight. Patients and Methods This prospective observational study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital November, 15th, 2016 to November, 1st, 2017. 100 Normal antenatal pregnant women at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy who attended antenatal clinic at the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital were recruited, after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results The predictive rule could estimate actual birth weight with an accuracy of ± 0.450 kg (SEest = 0.450 kg). In visits 1 and 2; ± 0.448 kg (SEest = 0.448 kg) in visit 3. Conclusion The actual birth weight was regressed on the placental thickness using simple linear regression to obtain a predictive rule. There is very weak correlation between the actual neonatal weight and placental thickness. The current study deduced a new formula for correction of EFW using placental thickness which has a promising role to offer in the prediction of birth weight.
