A Comparative Study to Assess the Level of Anxiety among Primi Gravida Mothers Planned for Normal Vaginal Delivery and Caesarean Section in the Selected Hospital, Agartala, West Tripura

A comparative study was conducted among 100 primi gravida mothers (50 mothers in each group) from MCH clinic and IPD of IGM hospital, Agartala, West Tripura, who had planned for normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section. Research approach used was non experimental quantitative approach and research design was descriptive comparative design. Purposive sampling technique was used to draw the sample. Socio demographic data and modified Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale were used to collect data from the samples through interview method. Analysis revealed that 52% of the primi gravida who had planned for caesarean section and 44% mothers who had planned for normal vaginal delivery had mild symptoms of anxiety. Mean anxiety score of the mothers who planned for caesarean section and normal vaginal delivery was 27.3 and 19.7 respectively, median 28.855 and 18.915 respectively and SD 7.0715 and 8.038 respectively. The mean difference was 7.6 and unpaired ‘t’ value was 5.0198, which was significant at p<0.05. Analysis of variance result showed that there was significant association between the level of anxiety of the primi gravida mothers who had planned for caesarean section with their selected socio demographic variable ‘occupation of husband’. The calculated ‘F’ value was 3.33 at p<0.05. The researcher concluded that the primi gravida mothers who had planned for caesarean section had more anxiety than the mothers who had planned for normal vaginal delivery and the anxiety level of the mothers who had planned for caesarean section was dependent on selected demographic variable occupation of the husband. Keywords:Anxiety, primi gravida, normal vaginal delivery, caesarean section.

Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of Nepalese women towards mode of delivery and caesarean on demand. Study design: Hospital based cross sectional descriptive study where 200 pregnant women after 37 completed weeks of gestation were recruited randomly and interviewed, and their answers were analyzed. Results: Of the 200 interviewed pregnant women, all of them knew about normal vaginal delivery and caesarean delivery, but only 30% knew about instrumentally assisted delivery and 9% had heard about painless labour. Vaginal delivery was the preferred mode in 93% and 7% preferred caesarean delivery. Only 35% of the interviewed women believed that women should have the right to demand a caesarean section Conclusion: Knowledge assessment of two hundred women regarding the mode of delivery clearly indicates the need for strengthening counseling aspect of antenatal care and awareness program regarding mode of delivery. In Nepal on demand caesarean section is not provided in the University Teaching Hospital. However one third of women still felt that women should have the right to choose caesarean section on demand. Key words: Attitude, mode of delivery, Caesarean on demand. doi:10.3126/njog.v2i2.1448 N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol 2007 Nov-Dec; 2 (2): 12 - 15

The World

Background: "Electronic wastes" are discarded electrical or electronic devices which includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal [1] Per year approximately 20-50 million tons of Electronic Waste are disposed of globally [2]. The effects of these electronic materials are far worse in counties liked India where most of the people are having poor economic status that leads to engagement in picking up and recycling of trash cans and other dumps and they are not equipped with any proper protective measures [3]. Electronic waste is emerging as a serious public health and environmental issue in India. India is the "fifth largest electronic waste producer in the world"; approximately 2 million tons of e-waste are generated annually and an undisclosed amount of e-waste is imported from other countries around the world [4] Objectives: 1. To assess the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste among general population of selected urban community. 2. To associate the awareness on ill effect of electronic waste on health among selected urban community with a selected demographic variable. Material and Methods: Research Approach: Quantitative Research Approach. Research Design: Descriptive Research Design. Setting of the study: The study was conducted at Aarvi Naka, Wardha. Population- General population of Aarvi Naka. Sampling Technique: Non-Probability Sampling Technique. Sample Size- 100. Result: The result shows that 18% of the general population had poor level of awareness score, 38% had low level of awareness, 30% had average level of awareness and 14% of general population had high level of awareness score. Mean awareness score was 9.51±3.98 and mean percentage of awareness score was 47.55 ± 19.94. While dealing with the association of awareness score with their demographic variables, age in years of general population from selected urban community is statistically associated with their awareness score (p=0.05). Conclusion: In this study the findings of the study shows that there is no significant association of awareness level on ill effect of electronic waste on health with the demographic variables like gender, educational status, religion, occupation, monthly family income, marital status and home ownership; but there is a significant relationship with age of the corresponding samples.

Objectives: To assess the association of perceived social support with postnatal depression among puerperal women of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Methods: It was a case-control study carried out during a period of 18 months (1-1-2019 to 30-06-2020). By using purposive sampling technique 284 postpartum women were enrolled from Allied hospital and Children hospital Faisalabad. The postnatal depression was diagnosed with Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to measure the social support that was perceived by women. Results: According to cut-off score ≥13 on EPDS 37.3% women were found depressed while 62.7% women were found non-depressed. The mean EPDS score ± SD was 10.12 ± 6.27 (min score 0; max score 27). The perceived social support from significant other, family and friends was found as significant predictor of postnatal depression. With one-point increase in global perceived social support, the postnatal depression decreased by 0.1 points on EPDS scale (p = 0.03) among women in normal vaginal delivery group, by 0.2 points in cesarean section group (p <0.001) and the postnatal depression decreased by 0.2 points in total sample (p < 0.001). Conclusion: A poor perceived social support from significant other, family and friends is a significant risk factor for postnatal depression among puerperal women.

Breast crawl has been described as an instinctive postpartum behavior for full-term children after vaginal birth. The present aim was to assess the effectiveness of breast crawl on infant delivery among postnatal mothers who underwent cesarean delivery vs spontaneous vaginal delivery at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital. A quantitative approach with comparative research design was adopted for the present study. A total of 60samples among which in spontaneous vaginal delivery (n=30) and cesarean delivery (n=30) were selected by using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. A self-structured questionnaire method was used to collect the demographic data followed by that breast crawl was initiated between infant delivery by vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery among mothers. Among 60 samples, the mean score on the intensity level of pain among mothers delivery infant by vaginal delivery was 3.70±1.29 and the mean score on the intensity level of pain among mothers delivered infant by cesarean delivery was 6.13±1.25. The calculated student independent 't’ test was 7.412, which was found to be effectively significant. This clearly infers that breast crawl was found to be effective in minimizing the intensity level of pain among the mother's delivered infant by spontaneous vaginal delivery than the mother's delivered infant by cesarean delivery.
