Volume 13, Issue 25 (Summer 2001)
Abstract

 

  Background: Many researchers believe that exercise during pregnancy positively effects normal delivery, controls babies' weight and reduced the length of labor.

  Objective: To find out the effect of physical exercise during pregnancy on pregnancy outcome in primiparous women.

  Design: This study was a controlled field trial. Data were collected by means of questionnaire and monitoring the length and the umbra of time the women in trial group performed exercise. Data about pregnancy outcome were gathered using labor and newborn records and were compared in two groups (women doing and not doing physical exercise during pregnancy).

  Samples: 160 primiparous women were selected consecutively and assigned randomly to one of trial or control group (80 in each group).

  Results: There were no significant between two groups except that the second stage of labor was shorter and the mean of babies' birth weight was smaller for the trial group.

  Conclusion: The results not only indicate no harm for mother or baby by doing physical exercise during pregnancy but also seems that it shortens the second stage of labor and controls babies' weight. It is suggested to encourage women to do exercise and not stop doing it during pregnancy if they are already used to do it.

Nikravesh, M , Tolueefar, A , Feizi, Z , Jamshidee, R ,
Volume 14, Issue 28 (Autumn 2001)
Abstract

  Background : More than one hundred million women in the world use IUD as a contraceptive method. In the case of vaginal discharge, necessary tests shoukd be done to determine the infection of genital tract. As vaginitis is one of the most common problem in women so with early diagnosis and treatment we can make good use of IUD and reduce its complications.

  Objective : To determine predisposing factors of vaginitis in IUD users.

  Design : It was a case- control study and variables related to personal factors and/ or IUD as predisposing factors of vaginitis were colleted by the use of a questionnaire and determined by comparing these factors in two groups.

  Sample : For the purpose of this study 330 women with IUD insertion two months prior to research were selected through consecutive sampling in two groups. Each group composed of 165 case group (with vaginitis( and control group (without vaginitis)

  Results : The findings showed that in personal factors, previous vaginitis (p= 0.002), treatment of vagiitis (p=0.028), breast feeding (p=0.042) and in IUD factors B.S midwives who insertes IUD (p=0.05), were disposing factors of vaginitis.

  Discussion : Based on logistic regression test between variables which had significant statistical differences, respectively, previous vaginitis, treatment, status of breast feeding at the research time were the most important disposing factors. With attention to these factors, the better samples will be find for IUD insertion.

 


OUTDOOR POLLUTION AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
A Bagher Zade, F Oskouie, Z Feizi, M Mahmoodi,
Volume 16, Issue 35 (Autumn 2003)
Abstract
Air pollution, as an environmental factor affects the health status and growth of the fetus, considering that the air pollutants have dramatically increased in Tehran, reviewing the effects of them on the health situation of infants, which are very vulnerable seems to be of great importance. Hence, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1000 randomly selected newborns with gestational age of 28-42 weeks. Infants were assigned in two groups and compared based on their mother's areas of residency, during the third trimester of pregnancy. Findings showed that those mothers, who were the inhabitants of areas, where the level of particulate matters fewer than 10 microns (PM10) and carbon monoxide (CO), reported to be in reasonable level, consequently delivered babies with higher weight in comparison with those lived in areas in which two mentioned pollutants had a higher density. There were significant relationships between maternal exposure to (CO) and low birth weight (P=0.003) and also between maternal exposure to (PM10) and low birth weight (P=0.01). Moreover the relationships between birth weight and concentration of some gasses such as CO, SO2, NO2 and O3 were significantly meaningful and (P) values were respectively (0.011), (0.05), (0.009) and (0.03). Due to the fact that upon increase in the level of air pollutants such as CO, SO2 and NO2 low birth weight is to be anticipated. So mothers who work in polluted areas during their pregnancy are prone to this outcome. Thus, a similar study is recommended to be conducted focusing on the birth weight of infants of mothers who work during pregnancy. Also responsible authorities should device some plans to diminish the level of air pollution.

M. Madadzadeh, Z. Feizi, Es Hajikazemi, H. Haghani,
Volume 18, Issue 41 (Spring & Summer 2005)
Abstract

 Pregnancy induced hypertension has impacts on birth weight in different gestational ages, and deciding on preventive modalities is mainly based on comprehension of birth weight in different gestational ages.

 To approach this objective we performed a comparative retrospective study and compared the birth weight of neonates of mothers with and without pregnancy induced hypertension in different gestational ages with the participation of 250 hypertensive and 458 nonhypertensive mothers.

 Finding revealed significant differences between hypertension in pregnancy and birth weight in 36th and 37th weeks of gestation (P=0.15) and (P=0.019) respectively. The differences varied according the number of pregnancies, for instance, meanwhile, for nulliparas in 36th, 38th, 39th and 41st weeks, it was respectively, (P=0.008), (P=0.022), (0.033) and (P=0.49), in multiparas, with less that 5 pregnancies in 39th week the P value was (0.49), but in women with 5 and/or more pregnancies there was not any significant differences.

 According to the findings pregnancy-induced hypertension will results in fetal low weight in different weeks of gestation. So, the researchers recommend useful services to be provided in different weeks of pregnancy.

Volume 19, Issue 47 (Autumn 2006)
Abstract

  Background & Aim: Hypertensive disorders have been the most important issues in obstetrics. It seems that the risk factors of preeclampsia are not recognized well. However, depression and maternal anxiety could be the mental aspects of the risk factors in preeclamsia in recent times. The present study conducted to determine the association between maternal anxiety and occurance of preeclampsia, in primigravid women, admitting in clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

  Material & Methoed: A prospective cohort study was used. Speilberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory was used as a data gathering tool, for 750 literate, primigravid women without any history of mental or physical illnesses. All participants were selected through consecutive sampling method.

  Results: The study findings showed that, the majority of sample group suffered from moderate State anxiety (63.2%) and moderate Trait anxiety (63.4%) respectively. Besides, increasing the severity of both State and Trait anxieties were correlated with higher incidence rate of preeclampsia. Also, statistically significant differences were found between the severity of Trait and State anxieties and Preeclampsia (P<0.006 and P<0.005), respectively. Results of this study also showed that, there was significant relationship between incidence of risk of preeclampsia and the severity of anxiety, in women with sever State anxiety (P>0.005). The risk ratio of preeclampsia in women with sever state anxiety was more than of women with mild State anxiety (RR=5.43). In addition, the risk ratio of preeclampsia in women with sever Trait anxiety, (RR=5.71) was more than of women with mild Trait anxiety.

  Conclusion: According to the study results, midwives and health care workers' attention to psychological health of pregnant women during prenatal period is one of the most important matter that should be emphasized.

L. Mohammadi-Yeganeh, F. Bastani, Z. Feizi, M. Agilar-Vafaie, H. Haghani,
Volume 21, Issue 53 (Spring 2008)
Abstract

  Background and Aim: Mood changes and high perceived stress are considered as the controversial side effects of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) consumption. The belief that OCPs cause mood changes and depression could be a significant factor to discontinue OCP use in women, the event that inevitably leads to increase the rate of unwanted pregnancies with high costs on the families and society. Therefore, providing stress management educational programs could improve mood and perceived stress during OCP use, thereby, prevents discontinuation of OCPs. The aim of this study was to determine whether stress management education could influence mood and perceived stress in oral contraceptive users.

  Material and Method: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on ninety two women who were suitable candidates to use OCPs. Mood state and perceived stress were measured by PANAS and PSS, before intervention (as pretest). Then, all of the subjects were randomly assigned into either experimental or control group. The experimental group (n=46) used OCP for three cycles with routine contraception counseling and concurrently exposed to one session of stress management education, and 3 times telephone counseling. The control group (n=46) received only routine contraception counseling during OCP use for three months. Mood and perceived stress were measured again after educational intervention.

  Results: S ignificant reduction in negative mood and perceived stress and improvement in positive mood were found in the experimental group compared to the control group.

  Conclusion: The findings suggest beneficial effects of stress management education and counseling during OCP use that could reduce the rate of d iscontinuation and subsequent unwanted pregnancies. In addition, the stress management intervention could be considered as a significant factor to improve women's health promoting behaviors and quality of life during OCP use.
