Home-based couple HIV testing for pregnant women can reduce HIV transmission to women and infants while increasing antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage in men. However, the cost-effectiveness of this program has not been evaluated. AB - METHODS: We modeled the health and economic impact of implementing a home-based partner education and HIV testing (HOPE) intervention for pregnant women and their male partners in a region of Western Kenya (formally Nyanza Province). We used data from the HOPE randomized clinical trial conducted in Kisumu, Kenya, to parameterize a mathematical model of HIV transmission. We conducted an in-country microcosting of the HOPE intervention (payer perspective) to estimate program costs as well as a lower cost scenario of task-shifting to community health workers. AB - RESULTS: The incremental cost of adding the HOPE intervention to standard antenatal care was $31-37 and $14-16 USD per couple tested with program and task-shifting costs, respectively. At 60% coverage of male partners, HOPE was projected to avert 6987 HIV infections and 2603 deaths in Nyanza province over 10 years with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $886 and $615 per disability-adjusted life year averted for the program and task-shifting scenario, respectively. ICERs were robust to changes in intervention coverage, effectiveness, and ART initiation and dropout rates. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The HOPE intervention can moderately decrease HIV-associated morbidity and mortality by increasing ART coverage in male partners of pregnant women. ICERs fall below Kenya's per capita gross domestic product ($1358) and are therefore considered cost-effective. Task-shifting to community health workers can increase intervention affordability and feasibility. CI - The authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose.

AB - DESIGN AND SETTING: a cross-sectional descriptive questionnaire survey was conducted in a regional teaching hospital with childbirth rate over 3000 per year at Guangzhou, China from April 1 to July 14, 2014. AB - PARTICIPANTS: a total of 571 Chinese mothers who were within 72-96hours post partum were recruited consecutively to the study. AB - MEASUREMENTS: data were collected by the Chinese version of the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), the Network Support for Breastfeeding Scale (NSBS) and a socio-demographic data sheet. AB - FINDINGS: a total of 640 eligible women was approached and 571 mothers completed the study with the response rate of 89%. Mothers reported moderate level of breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. The best-fit regression analysis revealed six variables that explained 43.9% of the variance in breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. They were intention of breast feeding, support from husband, support from nurses/midwives, attending antenatal breast feeding classes, time from childbirth to initiate breast feeding and previous breast feeding experience. AB - CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: this study found six predictors of breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. In order to increase maternal breast feeding self-efficacy level, a more women-centred approach is recommended. Mothers and fathers should be facilitated to attend antenatal classes on breast feeding. New mother' husband could be encouraged in supporting breast feeding. Nurses and midwives could encourage new mothers to initiate breast feeding as soon as possible. Further work to promote early mother-infant contact post birth, such as via skin to skin contact should also be facilitated where possible. AB - Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB - DESIGN: qualitative in-depth interviews and a focus group as part of the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study. AB - SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: thirteen low risk primiparous women and seven partners who had participated in the study group of a randomised controlled trial of the complementary therapies for labour and birth study, and 12 midwives caring for these women. The trial was conducted at two public hospitals, and through the Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. AB - INTERVENTIONS: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth (CTLB) protocol, based on the She Births course and the Acupressure for labour and birth protocol, incorporated six evidence-based complementary medicine (CM) techniques; acupressure, relaxation, visualisation, breathing, massage, yoga techniques and incorporated facilitated partner support. Randomisation to the trial occurred at 24-36 weeks' gestation, and participants attended a two-day antenatal education programme, plus standard care, or standard care alone. AB - FINDINGS: the overarching theme identified in the qualitative data was making sense of labour and birth. Women used information about normal birth physiology from the course to make sense of labour, and to utilise the CM techniques to support normal birth and reduce interventions in labour. Women's, partners' and midwives' experience of the course and its use during birth gave rise to supporting themes such as: working for normal; having a toolkit; and finding what works. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study provided women and their partners with knowledge to understand the physiology of normal labour and birth and enabled them to use evidence-based CM tools to support birth and reduce interventions. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study introduces concepts of what constitutes normal birth and provides skills to support women, partners and midwives. It appears to be an effective form of antenatal education that supports normal birth, and maternity services need to consider how they can reform current antenatal education in line with this evidence.

AB - METHOD: the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Family Studies Abstracts, and Web of Science, were searched using search terms: prenatal, antenatal, preparation, education, parents, parenthood. The meta-synthesis included 12 articles representing 12 studies. The meta-ethnographic approach of Nobilt and Hare was used in the meta-synthesis. AB - SYNTHESIS AND FINDINGS: first-time expectant and new parents reflect a need for antenatal education to actively include male partners pre- and postnatal. Participants wished for early and realistic information about parenting skills, and to have the opportunity to seek support and help from health professionals when need arose especially during the early postnatal period. Another element was the need to learn both from peers and other new parents coming as guest speakers. Participants wished to have been well informed ahead of time, about the possible changes in their conjugal relationship and the related coping strategies. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: equal emphasis should be placed both during the prenatal and postnatal periods in antenatal education classes. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: interventions aiming at enhancing positive transitions to parenthood could be introduced early during the postnatal period. Parenthood education classes could adopt adult learning strategies that are participatory, and experiential in nature. AB - Copyright © 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

There is little evidence on depression symptoms among men during the perinatal period. AB - Objective: To identify characteristics associated with depression symptoms among men whose partners were pregnant and subsequently gave birth. AB - Design, Setting, and Participants: A longitudinal cohort study provided data from a demographically diverse sample of 3523 New Zealand men who completed interviews during their partner's pregnancy and 9 months after the birth of their child. Participants were drawn from a cohort whose partners were pregnant women with a due date between April 25, 2009, and March 25, 2010, who were enrolled in the Growing Up in New Zealand study. Data analysis was conducted from September 1, 2015, to January 8, 2016. AB - Main Outcomes and Measures: Depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire; elevated depression symptoms were defined as scores higher than 12 and 9, respectively. AB - Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants at the antenatal interview was 33.20 (6.25) years (range, 16-63 years). Elevated antenatal paternal depression symptoms affected 82 fathers (2.3%) and were associated with perceived stress (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.30-1.47) and fair to poor health during their partner's pregnancy (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.18-3.61). Elevated postnatal paternal depression symptoms affected 153 (4.3%) of fathers and were associated with perceived stress in pregnancy (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.08-1.17), no longer being in a relationship with the mother 9 months after childbirth (OR, 6.36; 95% CI, 2.28-17.78), having fair to poor health at 9 months (OR, 3.29; 95% CI, 2.10-5.16), being unemployed at 9 months (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.11-3.10), and a history of depression (OR, 2.84; 95% CI, 1.69-4.78). AB - Conclusions and Relevance: Expectant fathers were at risk of depression symptoms if they felt stressed or were in poor health. Rates of elevated depression symptoms were higher during the postpartum period and were associated with adverse social and relationship factors. Identifying fathers most at risk of depressive symptoms and when best to target interventions (antenatal or postnatal) may be beneficial to men and their families.

We developed, implemented, and tested modules regarding expectations during newborn hospitalization for observation or treatment of NAS and regarding evidence-based parenting skills in response to NAS behaviors. Testing evaluated baseline knowledge of early parenting skills with newborns at risk for NAS and change from baseline after the educational intervention. No statistically significant difference in composite knowledge scores was observed. A brief survey completed by the participants postpartum affirmed the perception of women that the educational intervention effectively prepared them for the early postpartum period while their newborns were hospitalized.

Information resources are an important component of this process. This study aimed to identify and analyse written information about vitamin K. AB - METHODS: Resources concerning vitamin K prophylaxis for both parents and health professionals were accessed through tertiary hospitals in New Zealand and Australia, midwives associated with Queen Mary Maternity Centre (Dunedin, New Zealand), antenatal class providers in the Dunedin, New Zealand area, and an online search of Australian and New Zealand government and hospital websites, as well as the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) in the US. These materials were assessed with regard to coverage of information relevant to vitamin K prophylaxis, whether a statement of the recommended option was included, and information concerning parental choice. AB - RESULTS: In Australia, the majority of centres use the Australian Government National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) resource. In New Zealand, eight different resources are in use. There was variation between resources in all aspects, including use of different incidence rates for vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB). No New Zealand resources were available in languages other than English. The resources for health professionals also varied, and the two available New Zealand consensus statements (Ministry of Health and College of Midwives) differed in terms of their main recommendation. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Many different information resources are available regarding vitamin K prophylaxis in New Zealand. Standardisation of such information would be more equitable and would facilitate easier review of content and translation into multiple languages.

To document participants' perceptions of the program, a focus group was conducted with peer parents, and surveys were completed by both peer parents and parents receiving support. In this article we review our model of a peer support program for perinatal bereavement and report on parents' evaluation of the program. Recommendations through which other organizations can develop peer support programs for parents who have experienced a perinatal loss are provided.

AB - METHOD: The literature was reviewed, and a genetic counselor lends her expertise as to how couples with RPL and sperm chromosomal abnormalities ought to be counseled. The review of the literature was performed using MEDLINE. AB - RESULTS: Sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can be used to determine if disomy or unbalanced chromosomal translocations are present. In men with aneuploidy in sperm or who carry a chromosomal translocation, pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) combined with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can increase chances of live birth. In men with abnormal sperm FISH results, the degree of increased risk of abnormal pregnancy remains unclear. Genetic counselors can provide information to couples about the risk for potential trisomies and sex chromosome aneuploidies and discuss their reproductive and testing options such as PGS, use of donor sperm, and adoption. The provision of genetic counseling also allows a couple to be educated about recommended prenatal testing since pregnancies conceived with a partner who has had abnormal sperm FISH are considered to be at increased risk for aneuploidy. AB - CONCLUSION: We review the literature and discuss genetic counseling for couples with RPL or recurrent implantation failure due to increased sperm aneuploidy.

Furthermore, chronic prenatal methamphetamine (MA) exposure was shown to predispose the animal to an increased sensitivity to drugs administrated in adulthood. Using the Elevated plus-maze test (EPM), the first aim of the present study was to examine how male and female rats are affected by acute drug treatment with subcutaneously (s.c.) administrated (a) MA (1mg/kg); (b) drugs with a similar mechanism of action to MA: amphetamine (AMP, 1mg/kg), cocaine (COC, 5mg/kg), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 5mg/kg); and (c) drugs with different mechanisms of action: morphine (MOR, 5mg/kg), and DELTA 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, 2mg/kg). The second aim was to determine if prenatally MA-exposed (5mg/kg) animals show an increased sensitivity to adult drug treatment. The parameters analyzed were divided into two categories: anxiety-related behavior and anxiety-unrelated/exploratory behavior. Our results showed in female rats a decreased percentage of the time spent in the closed arms (CA) after MA, and an increased percentage of the time spent in the open arms (OA) after MA, AMP, and COC treatment, indicating an anxiolytic-like effect. In females, MDMA and THC treatment increased the percentage of the time spent in the CA. An increased percentage of the time spent in the CA was also seen after MOR treatment in females as well as in males, indicating an anxiogenic-like effect. As far as the interaction between prenatal MA exposure and adult drug treatment is concerned, there was no effect found. In conclusion, it seems that: (a) in some cases female rats are more vulnerable to acute drug treatment, in terms of either anxiogenic- or anxiolytic-like effects; (b) prenatal MA exposure does not sensitize animals to the anxiety-related effects of any of the drugs.

AB - DESIGN: quasi-experimental study, comparing an antenatal education group and a control group. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 63 pregnant women and their husbands. AB - MEASUREMENTS: demographic data forms, the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, the Maternal Attachment Inventory and the Postnatal Paternal-Infant Attachment Questionnaire were used for data collection. AB - FINDINGS: antenatal education was found to reduce the fear of childbirth and to increase childbirth-related maternal self-efficacy. However, antenatal education was found to have no effect on parental attachment. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: it is recommended that widespread antenatal education programmes should be provided in developing countries, and the content of the education programme about parental attachment should be increased. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: this study found that antenatal education has no influence on maternal and paternal attachment. As such, there is a need to increase the content of the education programme about parental attachment. AB - Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A questionnaire was developed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Safety Behaviour at Work Scale, a self-reported sleep history, and a work-related incident history. Of the 221 participants, the vast majority reported they experienced less than 6 hours of interrupted sleep per night during the 12 weeks of the study, and an increasing frequency and severity of DS. The study also revealed an inverse correlation between ESS and Safety Behaviour at Work scores; fathers were 14% more likely to report a near-miss accident at work at 12 weeks. This study posits that antenatal classes and assessment of fathers' sleepiness at work by occupational health practitioners could assist fathers in reducing daytime sleepiness and mitigating the risk of workplace incidents.

AB - METHODS: A content analysis of infant and toddler food ads printed in 12 issues of 4 magazines published in 2011 was performed. Coding categories of ads included product category, advertisement category, marketing information, and advertising appeal. The target age and health-related message of each product were coded. AB - RESULTS: The researchers identified 756 infant and toddler food ads in the magazines. Compared with complementary food ads, formula product ads used more marketing strategies such as antenatal classes and baby contests to influence consumers and promote products. Nutritional quality and child health benefits were the two most frequently used advertising appeals. In addition, this study identified 794 formula products and 400 complementary food products; 42.8% of the complementary food products were intended for 4-month-old infants. Furthermore, 91.9% of the ads for formula products and 81% of the ads for complementary food products contained claims concerning health function or nutrient content. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Taiwanese pregnancy and early parenting magazines contain numerous infant and toddler food ads. These ads generally use health-related claims regarding specific nutrient content and health functions to promote infant and toddler foods. Health professionals should provide more information to parents on the differences between breast milk and formula milk, and they should be aware of the potential effect of infant and toddler food ads on parents' infant feeding decisions.

However, there is little research into the most effective and acceptable ways of helping women manage their symptoms of anxiety and stress during pregnancy. Research indicates the necessity to consider the unique needs and concerns of perinatal populations to ensure treatment engagement, highlighting the need to develop specialised treatments which could be integrated within routine antenatal healthcare services. This trial aims to develop a brief intervention for antenatal anxiety, with a focus on embedding the delivery of the treatment within routine antenatal care. AB - METHODS/DESIGN: This study is a two-phase feasibility trial. In phase 1 we will develop and pilot a brief intervention for antenatal anxiety, blended with group support, to be led by midwives. This intervention will draw on cognitive behavioural principles and wider learning from existing interventions that have been used to reduce anxiety in expectant mothers. The intervention will then be tested in a pilot randomised controlled trial in phase 2. The following outcomes will be assessed: (1) number of participants meeting eligibility criteria, (2) number of participants consenting to the study, (3) number of participants randomised, (4) number of sessions completed by those in the intervention arm, and (5) number of participants completing the post-intervention outcome measures. Secondary outcomes comprise: detailed feedback on acceptability, which will guide further development of the intervention; and outcome data on symptoms of maternal and paternal anxiety and depression, maternal quality of life, quality of couple relationship, mother-child bonding, infant temperament and infant sleep. AB - DISCUSSION: The study will provide important data to inform the design of a future full-scale randomised controlled trial of a brief intervention for anxiety during pregnancy. This will include information on its acceptability and feasibility regarding implementation within current antenatal services, which will inform whether ultimately this provision could be rolled out widely in healthcare settings.

This study tested the acceptability and feasibility of evaluating a theory-based intervention aimed at reducing risk of obesity in infants of overweight/obese women during and after pregnancy: the Healthy and Active Parenting Programme for Early Years (HAPPY). AB - METHODS: A feasibility randomised controlled trial was conducted in Bradford, England. One hundred twenty overweight/obese pregnant women (Body Mass Index [BMI] >=25 kg/m(2)) were recruited between 10-26 weeks gestation. Consenting women were randomly allocated to HAPPY (6 antenatal, 6 postnatal sessions: N=59) or usual care (N=61). Appropriate outcome measures for a full trial were explored, including: infant's length and weight, woman's BMI, physical activity and dietary intake of the women and infants. Health economic data were collected. Measurement occurred before randomisation and when the infant was aged 6 months and 12 months. Feasibility outcomes were: recruitment/attrition rates, and acceptability of: randomisation, measurement, and intervention. Intra-class correlations for infant weight were calculated. Fidelity was assessed through observations and facilitator feedback. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews explored acceptability of methods, implementation, and intervention content. AB - RESULTS: Recruitment targets were met (~20 women/month) with a recruitment rate of 30 % of eligible women (120/396). There was 30 % attrition at 12 months; 66 % of recruited women failed to attend intervention sessions, but those who attended the first session were likely to continue to attend (mean 9.4/12 sessions, range 1-12). Reaction to intervention content was positive, and fidelity was high. Group clustering was minimal; an adjusted effect size of -0.25 standard deviation scores for infant weight at 12 months (95 % CI: -0.16-0.65) favouring the intervention was observed using intention to treat analyses. No adverse events were reported. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The HAPPY intervention appeared feasible and acceptable to participants who attended and those delivering it, however attendance was low; adaptations to increase initial attendance are recommended. Whilst the study was not powered to detect a definitive effect, our results suggest a potential to reduce risk of infant obesity. The evidence reported provides valuable lessons to inform progression to a definitive trial. AB - TRIAL REGISTRATION: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN56735429.

Little is known of the views of expectant women and their partners about learning the skills of infant CPR as part of their antenatal education. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge, satisfaction and use of a 22 minute Self-Instructional Infant CPR kit to facilitate the teaching of infant CPR and the relief of choking in an infant. AB - METHODS: expectant women with their partners were recruited through the antenatal education classes from one maternity hospital in Ireland. An uncontrolled pre-post-test design was used and participants were surveyed immediately pre- and post-training and six months following training. AB - FINDINGS: the study sample comprised of 77 participants including 42 nulliparous women at least 32 weeks gestation or greater. It found significant difference in knowledge scores following training compared to baseline p=<0.0001 and at six months p=<0.0001 compared to immediate post training for both infant CPR and choking prevention. There was a 70% (n=58) response rate at six months with 84.5% reporting average or above confidence levels for performance of Infant CPR. The multiplier educational effect was 37.9% with 22 out of 58 participants sharing the kits with family and friends. Participants (57 out of 58) indicated that the maternity services should facilitate infant CPR training for expectant women and their partners. AB - CONCLUSION: expectant women and their partners are very motivated to learn the skills of infant CPR. The facilitation of a 22 minute self-instructional infant CPR kit is effective in increasing infant CPR knowledge and confidence in parents at six months post training. Findings provide the views of expectant and new parents on the relevance of acquiring the skills of infant CPR as part of their preparation for parenthood. AB - Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Traditional maternal health focuses on women, excluding men from information affecting family health. Scholars advocate including men in prenatal health to reduce infant mortality, a proven strategy in developing nations. This study explored the role of U.S. men in prenatal health, barriers to involvement, and the use of e-health. Special attention was given to health literacy; research indicates e-health is effective in educating low health-literate audiences. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study interviewed men with an average age of 33 years (n=32). The sample was 38% Hispanic, 28% African American, 28% white, and 6% multiracial. Participants were asked about pregnancy health and used a pregnancy-related e-health application on a tablet computer. Participants provided opinions on content, ease of use of the tablet, and willingness to use similar applications. AB - RESULTS: Men believe it is important to be involved in pregnancy to help ensure healthy births. Most use mobile devices and computers for health information and found the application to be useful and interesting. Most concluded they would use a similar application to learn about pregnancy. Health literacy had minimal impact on participants' use of the tablet and information. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study explored the role men play in prenatal health, a promising avenue toward better birth outcomes. Using e-health is an opportune approach-it can reach men unavailable to attend prenatal programs because of work or feeling unwelcome at programs deemed "only for women."

AB - METHODS: The sample in this cross-sectional study consisted of 162 pregnant women in the last trimester of pregnancy and their partners. Data collection was accomplished using a questionnaire. AB - RESULTS: It was found that most women (90.8%) and their partners (92%) preferred a vaginal birth. The couples' birth preferences were generally similar to one another. The main reasons for the choice of a vaginal birth were that it was natural and healthier for the mother and child and that recovery and discharge from the hospital were quicker. The main reasons for the choice of cesarean section were fear of childbirth and not putting the baby at risk. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Antenatal education may help to reduce the number of elective cesarean sections by changing the negative perceptions of vaginal birth and reducing the fear of childbirth.

Effective partner education during pregnancy has the possibility to prevent postnatal mental health problems and support expectant fathers in their transition to parenthood. This paper describes the protocol of a systematic review that will investigate the effects of prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women particularly on paternal postnatal mental health. AB - METHODS/DESIGN: We will search the databases of MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ERIC, and CENTRAL, using related search terms such as "partners of pregnant women," "education," and "prenatal support." Searches will be limited to randomized trials. Two review authors will independently screen eligible studies and assess risk of bias. We will report structured summaries of the included studies and conduct meta-analysis. AB - DISCUSSION: Postnatal mental health of fathers is reported to have various effects on the health of the whole family. Therefore, support for expectant fathers is an important issue in the maternal and perinatal health-care system. However, resources on prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women remain limited. The results of this review will provide evidence for prenatal education programs for expectant fathers. AB - SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42015017919.

This study aimed to discover how white British and Pakistani mothers in Bradford recall, understand and interpret SIDS-reduction guidance, and to explore whether and how they implement this guidance in caring for their infants. AB - METHODS: In-depth narrative interviews with 46 mothers (25 white British origin and 21 Pakistani origin) of 8-12 week old infants recruited from the pool of participants enrolled in the 'Born in Bradford' (BiB) cohort study. AB - RESULTS: All mothers were aware of UK SIDS-reduction guidance from leaflets presented to them during antenatal or postnatal interactions with health care providers. Pakistani mothers tended to dismiss the guidance in toto as being irrelevant to their cultural practices; white British mothers dismissed, adapted and adopted aspects of the guidance to suit their preferred parenting decisions and personal circumstances. Many mothers misunderstood or misinterpreted the guidance given and explained their infant care behaviour according to their social and cultural circumstances. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Current SIDS reduction information in the UK does not meet the needs of immigrant families, and is easily misinterpreted or misunderstood by mothers from all sections of the community. Tailored information acknowledging cultural differences in infant care practices is vital, as is greater discussion with all mothers about the reasons for SIDS reduction guidance.

AB - BACKGROUND: Among adults parity and intrapartum fears including fear of dying, loss of control, pain, and limited support have been associated with negative birth appraisal and symptoms of traumatic stress, defined here as PBT. AB - METHODS: This cross-sectional study surveyed a convenience sample of 201 adolescents at a large, county hospital. AB - RESULTS: Over 75% of adolescents perceived fear. Younger and older adolescents, similar in fears, were distinguished only by parity. The effects of parity, overall rating of fear, and father of baby absence were found to vary by age on birth appraisal; however, only parity varied by age on IES scores. AB - CONCLUSIONS: All age adolescents can be fearful and will benefit with childbirth education and labor support to help reduce fears and subsequent PBT. AB - Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

We examined effects of exposure to a traumatic stressor in families [intimate partner violence (IPV)] on both infants' HPA axis reactivity to stress and their internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Infants (n=182, 50% girls, x age=11.77 months) were exposed to a laboratory challenge task designed to induce frustration and anger (i.e. arm restraint). Saliva samples were taken pre-task and 20 and 40min post-task and then assayed for cortisol. Mothers reported on their pregnancy and postpartum IPV history, current mental health, substance use and their infants' behaviors. Structural equation modeling revealed that prenatal, but not postnatal, IPV was independently associated with infant cortisol reactivity and problem behavior. Maternal mental health predicted infant behavioral functioning but not infant HPA axis reactivity. These findings are consistent with the prenatal programing hypothesis; that is, early life stress affects later risk and vulnerability for altered physiological and behavioral regulation.

Moreover, increased salt intake significantly increases hypertension risk. We examined whether maternal HF and postnatal high salt (HS) intake had synergistic effects on blood pressure (BP) elevation in adult offspring and determined the underlying mechanisms. AB - METHODS AND RESULTS: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats received regular chow or chow supplemented with 60% fructose during the entire pregnancy and lactation periods. Half of the male offspring received 1% NaCl in drinking water from weaning to 3 months of age. Male offspring were assigned to 4 groups (control, HF, HS, and HF + HS) and were sacrificed at 12 weeks of age. Offspring in HF and HS groups developed hypertension, indicating that HF and HS synergistically increased BP. Postnatal HS intake increased Ace expression and decreased Agtr1b and Mas1 expression in the kidneys. Renal mRNA levels of Ace and Agtr1a were significantly higher in HF + HS group than in control group. Renal levels of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter, type 3 sodium hydrogen exchanger, and Na(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter were higher in HS and HF + HS groups than in control group. AB - CONCLUSION: Postnatal HS intake exacerbated prenatal HF-induced programmed hypertension. HF and HS induced programmed hypertension by differentially inducing renin-angiotensin system and sodium transporters in the kidneys. Better understanding of the effect of the relationship between HF and HS on hypertension development will help prevent hypertension in mothers and children exposed to HF and HS.

Twenty families took part in the six-session "Figuring It Out for the Child" (FIOC) dyadic intervention offered in a faith-based human services agency during the third trimester of the mother's pregnancy, and completed a postpartum booster session 1 month after the baby's arrival. Parent referrals for the FIOC program were received from a county Health Department and from OBGYNs and Pregnancy Centers in the targeted community. All intervention sessions were delivered by a trained male-female paraprofessional team whose fidelity to the FIOC manualized curriculum was independently evaluated by a team of trained analysts. At both the point of intake ("PRE") and again at an exit evaluation completed 3 months postpartum ("POST"), the mothers and fathers were videotaped as they completed two standardized "revealed differences" conflict discussions. Blinded videotapes of these sessions were evaluated using the System for Coding Interactions in Dyads. Analyses documented statistically significant improvements on 8 of 12 variables examined, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. Overall, 14 families demonstrated beneficial outcomes, 3 did not improve, and 3 showed some signs of decline from the point of intake. For most interaction processes, PRE to POST improvements were unrelated to degree of adherence the paraprofessional interventionists showed to the curriculum. However, better interventionist competence was related to decreases in partners' Coerciveness and Negativity and Conflict, and to smaller increases in partner Withdrawal. Implications of the work for development and delivery of community-based coparenting interventions for unmarried parents are discussed. AB - Copyright © 2015 Family Process Institute.

AB - DESIGN: a descriptive phenomenological design was used. 15 male partners were interviewed in the first 8 weeks post partum between July and October, 2013 to explore their experience of the intrapartum transfer. AB - SETTING: a midwifery-led birth centre set on the grounds of a tertiary maternity referral hospital. AB - PARTICIPANTS: partners of women who were transferred from the birth centre to the onsite tertiary hospital due to complications during the first and second stages of labour. AB - FINDINGS: five main themes emerged: (1) 'emotional roller coaster'; (2) 'partner's role in changing circumstances' with subthemes: 'acknowledgement for his inside knowledge of her' and 'challenges of being a witness'; (3) 'adapting to a changing model of care' with subthemes: 'moving from an inclusive nurturing and continuity model' and 'transferring to a medicalised model'; (4) 'adapting to environmental changes' with subthemes: 'feeling comfortable in the familiar birth centre', 'going to the place where things go wrong' and 'Back to comfortable familiarity afterwards' and (5) 'coming to terms with altered expectations around the labour and birth experience'. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: partners acknowledged the benefits of midwifery continuity of care, however, noted that as partners they also provided essential continuity as they felt they knew their woman better than any care provider. Partners found it difficult to witness their woman's difficult labour journey. They found the change of environment from birth centre to labour ward challenging but appreciated that experienced medical assistance was at hand when necessary. Being able to return to the birth centre environment was acknowledged as beneficial for the couple. Following the transfer experience partners asked for the opportunity to debrief to clarify and better understand the process. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: findings may be used to inform partners in childbirth education classes about what to expect when transfer takes place and offer the opportunity for them to debrief after the birth. Finally, themes can provide insight to maternity care professionals around the emotions experienced by partners during intrapartum transfer to enhance informed choice, involvement in care and empathetic support.

AB - METHODS: Cross-sectional surveys run in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 2007 and annually from 2009 to 2014. A random sample of residents aged between 16 and 85 years was taken each year from the municipal population register. Bivariate analysis, interaction analysis, trend analysis and logistic regression were performed. AB - RESULTS: Knowledge on preconceptional folic acid supplementation significantly improved (+20%) between 2007 and 2009, and the intention to consult a GP or midwife in the preconception period significantly increased (+53%) from 2007 to 2012. Logistic regression analyses showed that low socio-economic status was significantly associated with low preconceptional folic acid knowledge, but with higher intention to seek out preconception care. An interaction effect was found between educational level and ethnicity, showing that the higher the educational level the lower the gap of level of knowledge between the different ethnic groups. AB - CONCLUSION: Despite campaigns about folic acid supplementation knowledge on this supplement remains low. The intention amongst men and women to seek out preconception care is still insufficient. Structural interventions to increase and maintain awareness on folic acid supplementation, especially among high-risk groups, are needed.

AB - METHODS: Fit for Delivery was a study of 401 pregnant women with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) and normal weight (NW) randomized to prenatal lifestyle intervention or standard care. Mother's self-report of partners' weight was obtained at study entry (<16 weeks gestation), 30 weeks gestation, and 6 and 12 months postpartum. AB - RESULTS: At study entry, 157 of 200 (78%) of intervention mothers and 144 of 201 (72%) of standard care mothers reported having a partner. In intent-to-treat analyses, there was no significant treatment x time effects on partner weight (P = 0.67). In secondary analyses, partners of OW/OB intervention women lost weight from study entry to 6 and 12 months postpartum (-0.5 +/- 9.5 kg, -1.0 +/- 9.3 kg; P < 0.05), while partners of standard care women gained weight during the same time frame (+2.5 +/- 6.7 kg, +2.9 +/- 7.4 kg; P < 0.05); adjusting for partner study entry BMI removed these effects. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle intervention delivered to pregnant women did not significantly reduce weight of untreated partners. Future research is needed to test prenatal interventions that engage partners and use objective measures of weight. AB - Copyright © 2015 The Obesity Society.

Twenty-one interviews with 26 parents from 6 cities across Sweden were analyzed with 3 content analysis approaches. Parents expressed both satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the content, presentation of content, and the leader's role. They reported that social contact with other parents was important, that parenthood topics were covered less frequently than child and childbirth-related topics, and that group activities were less frequent than lectures. When designing future parental education groups, it is important to consider expanding parenthood topics and group activities because this structure is considered to provide support to parents.

The specific aims of this study were 1) to investigate whether there were any differences between first-time fathers' and mothers' postnatal parenting stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms and to see their evolution between three and 6 months after their child's birth; and 2) to explore how each parent's parenting stress and anxiety levels and the anxiety levels and depressive symptoms of their partners contributed to parental postnatal depression. AB - METHOD: The sample included 362 parents (181 couples; mothers' M Age = 35.03, SD = 4.7; fathers' M Age = 37.9, SD = 5.6) of healthy babies. At three (T1) and 6 months (T2) postpartum, both parents filled out, in a counterbalanced order, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. AB - RESULTS: The analyses showed that compared to fathers, mothers reported higher scores on postpartum anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. The scores for all measures for both mothers and fathers decreased from T1 to T2. However, a path analysis suggested that the persistence of both maternal and paternal postnatal depression was directly influenced by the parent's own levels of anxiety and parenting stress and by the presence of depression in his/her partner. AB - DISCUSSION: This study highlights the relevant impact and effects of both maternal and paternal stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms during the transition to parenthood. Therefore, to provide efficacious, targeted, early interventions, perinatal screening should be directed at both parents.

Classes on offer are being moved into online formats or discontinued completely. Whilst research into antenatal education remains limited, what is known is that good birth preparation is of value. "Participative preparation for childbirth can enhance women's overall satisfaction with the childbirth experience" (Schrader McMillan et al 2009: 49). There are pockets of excellent antenatal education within the NHS, but no system for regulating the quality and content. Traditional 'parent craft' classes can be oversubscribed, turning what should be a participative group into an audience. Offering good quality antenatal education has the potential to increase normality, improve the birth outcome and the experience of both woman and her birth partner. Is it time to ditch the parent craft and implement dynamic woman-focused education?

Studies in other regions have found substantial differences in breastfeeding rates between native-born and immigrant mothers. The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with breastfeeding initiation in Hong Kong born and Mainland China born mothers living in Hong Kong. AB - METHODS: We used a multi-center cross-sectional study design and recruited 2761 new mothers from the postnatal wards of all eight public hospitals in Hong Kong that offer obstetric services. We assessed breastfeeding status as well as various socio-demographic, maternal and birth characteristics. Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify the predictors of breastfeeding initiation in Hong Kong born and Mainland China born participants. AB - RESULTS: 80.3 % of Hong Kong and 81.1 % of Mainland Chinese born women initiated breastfeeding. In the fully adjusted models, multiparity (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.53, 95 % CI 0.43-0.66) and maternal smoking (OR 0.29, 95 % CI 0.18-0.45) were strongly associated with failure to initiate breastfeeding in both Hong Kong and Mainland China born participants. In Hong Kong born mothers, participants with lower maternal education and those who had a cesarean section were significantly less likely to breastfeed. For Mainland China born mothers, paternal smoking (OR 0.70, 95 % CI 0.49-0.99) and having a pregnancy-related health problem (OR 0.60, 95 % CI 0.38-0.94) were both additional risk factors for not breastfeeding. AB - CONCLUSION: This study has identified predictors of breastfeeding initiation in Hong Kong and Mainland China born mothers. Given the current high breastfeeding initiation rates among both groups, antenatal breastfeeding education and promotion programmes need to specifically intervene with sub-groups of pregnant women at risk for not breastfeeding so that their efforts are more strategic and cost-effective.

Most research and support services focus on perinatal psychopathology, leaving a need for programs that recognize and enhance the strengths and well-being of parents. Furthermore, fathers have received minimal attention and support relative to mothers, despite experiencing perinatal distress. New parents have limited time and energy to invest in program attendance, and web-based programs provide an ideal platform for delivering perinatal well-being programs. Such programs are globally accessible, available at any time, and can be accessed anywhere with an Internet connection. AB - OBJECTIVE: This paper describes the protocol of a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects on first-time parents' perinatal well-being, comparing two versions of the online program Baby Steps. AB - METHODS: The clinical trial will randomize 240 primiparous mother-father couples to either (1) Babycare, an online information-only program providing tips on selected childcare issues, or (2) Well-being, an online interactive program including all content from the Babycare program, plus parental well-being-focused content with tools for goal-setting and problem solving. Both programs will be supported by short message service (SMS) texts at two, four, seven, and ten weeks to encourage continued use of the program. Primary outcomes will be measures of perinatal distress and quality of life. Secondary outcomes will be couple relationship satisfaction, parent self-efficacy, and social support. Cost-effectiveness will also be measured for each Baby Steps program. AB - RESULTS: Participant recruitment commenced March, 2015 and continued until October, 2015. Follow-up data collection has commenced and will be completed May, 2016 with results expected in July, 2016. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal distress has substantial impacts on parents and their infants, with potential to affect later childhood adjustment, relationships, and development. This study aims to test the impact of a highly accessible online program to support parental coping, and maximize the well-being of both parents. By including fathers in the program, Baby Steps has the potential to engage and support this often neglected group who can make a substantial contribution to familial well-being.

The present study aimed to characterize the risk knowledge of primiparous women of advanced age and their partners and to examine interindividual variability on risk knowledge depending on sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics. The study also examined the influence of one partner's risk knowledge on both partners' psychological distress. AB - METHODS: The present study is part of an ongoing longitudinal project focusing on 2 timings of assessment: the prenatal diagnosis visit (time 1) and the third trimester of pregnancy (time 2). A total of 95 primiparous women of advanced age and their partners were consecutively recruited in a Portuguese referral urban hospital. Participants completed a questionnaire on knowledge of maternal age-related risks of childbearing at time 1 as well as the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 at time 2. AB - RESULTS: Both partners showed incomplete risk knowledge, with the exception of the impact of maternal age on fertility, the probability to request medical help to conceive, and increased risk of Down syndrome. Women's risk knowledge did not vary depending on sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics. Male partners with prior infertility and medically assisted reproduction treatments reported higher risk knowledge. Higher risk knowledge in male partners increased psychological distress during pregnancy in both members of the couples. AB - DISCUSSION: The findings indicated that first childbirth at advanced maternal age is rarely an informed reproductive decision, emphasizing the need to develop preventive interventions that may enhance couples' knowledge of maternal age-related risks. Given the influence of the risk knowledge of male partners on women's psychological distress, antenatal interventions should be couple-focused. Interventions should inform couples about maternal age-related risks, enhance their perceived control, and promote effective dyadic communication and coping strategies to address risk.

Causes have been related to intrinsic ethnic features with development of a thrifty genotype for adapting to food scarcity, prenatal programming by undernutrition, and postnatal exposure to obesogenic lifestyle. Observational studies in humans and experimental studies in animal models evidence that the adaptive responses of the offspring may be modulated by their sex. In the contemporary context of world globalization, the new question arising is the existence and extent of sex-related differences in developmental and metabolic traits in case of mixed-race. Hence, in the current study, using a swine model, we compared male and female fetuses that were crossbred from mothers with thrifty genotype and fathers without thrifty genotype. Female conceptuses evidence stronger protective strategies for their adequate growth and postnatal survival. In brief, both male and female fetuses developed a brain-sparing effect but female fetuses were still able to maintain the development of other viscerae than the brain (mainly liver, intestine and kidneys) at the expense of carcass development. Furthermore, these morphometric differences were reinforced by differences in nutrient availability (glucose and cholesterol) favoring female fetuses with severe developmental predicament. These findings set the basis for further studies aiming to increase the knowledge on the interaction between genetic and environmental factors in the determination of adult phenotype.

Here, we compare associations between maternal and paternal antenatal depression and anxiety with offspring anxiety disorders, thus controlling for some genetic and shared environmental factors. AB - METHODS: We used data from the ALSPAC population cohort including measures of antenatal parental depression and anxiety. At 18 years, offspring completed the CIS-R interview, yielding diagnoses for anxiety disorders. Results were adjusted for confounding variables including parental postnatal depression and anxiety. AB - RESULTS: Children of women with antenatal depression (18 weeks gestation), had an increased risk of anxiety disorders at 18 years of age (11.1% vs. 6.2%; adj. OR 1.75 (1.19, 2.58); p=0.01). Children of women with antenatal anxiety had increased risk of co-morbid anxiety and depression (adj. OR 1.39 (1.06, 1.82); p=0.02). No such associations were found with paternal antenatal depression or anxiety. AB - LIMITATIONS: There was a high attrition rate from the original cohort to the CIS-R completion at 18 years postpartum. Parental mood was only assessed together at one time point during the antenatal period. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The differences in the association between maternal and paternal mood during pregnancy and child outcomes supports the hypothesis that foetal programming may account, at least in part, for this association.

TI - Prevalence of antenatal depression and associated factors among pregnant women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study. SO - Reproductive Health. 12:99, 2015 Oct 30 AS - Reprod Health. 12:99, 2015 Oct 30 NJ - Reproductive health PI - Journal available in: Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101224380 IO - Reprod Health PM - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4627391 SB - Index Medicus CP - England MH - Adult MH - *Depression/ep [Epidemiology] MH - Ethiopia/ep [Epidemiology] MH - Female MH - Humans MH - Logistic Models MH - Maternal Health Services MH - Multivariate Analysis MH - Pregnancy MH - *Pregnancy Complications/ep [Epidemiology] MH - Prenatal Care MH - Prevalence MH - Risk Factors MH - Sexual Partners/px [Psychology] MH - Social Support MH - Socioeconomic Factors AB - BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization identifies depressive disorders as the second leading cause of global disease burden by 2020. However, there is a paucity of studies which examined the associated factors of antenatal depression in low-income countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of antenatal depression and associated factors among pregnant women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. AB - METHODS: A cross-sectional study was employed among 393 pregnant women attending antenatal care service in Addis Ababa public health centers, Ethiopia from April 12-26, 2012. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to detect depressive symptoms. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used in the statistical analysis. AB - RESULTS: Prevalence of antenatal depression was 24.9 % (95 % CI: 20.85-29.30 %). In the final multivariable model, those pregnant women who have previous history of depression were nearly three times at higher odds of having antenatal depression as compared to pregnant women who have no history of depression [AOR = 2.57(95 % CI: 1.48-4.48 )]. Those pregnant women having unplanned pregnancy were nearly three times at higher odds to develop depression as compared to pregnant women whose pregnancy was planned [AOR = 2.78(95 % CI: 1.59-4.85)]. The odd of developing antenatal depression was 89 % higher in those pregnant women who experienced lack of baby's father support [AOR = 1.89(95 % CI: 1.06-3.36)]. Education level, community's support, and partner's feeling on current pregnancy were not significantly associated factors with antenatal depression in the final multivariable model. AB - CONCLUSION: Although clinical confirmation for antenatal depression is not conducted, one quarter of the pregnant women attending antenatal care were depressed in Addis Ababa based on EPDS. Unplanned pregnancy, experiencing lack of baby's father support and previous history of depression were factors independently associated with antenatal depression. Promotion of family planning and integration of mental health service with existing maternal health care as well as strengthening the referral system among public health centers were the recalled interventions to prevent antenatal depression in Addis Ababa Public Health Centers.

As most maternal deaths can be prevented by providing quality antenatal care (ANC) and skilled assistance during childbirth, understanding the barriers to the utilization of ANC services can enhance program implementation. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with the under-utilization of ANC services in Timor-Leste. AB - METHODS: Timor-Leste Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) 2009-2010 was a nationally representative multi-stage cross-sectional study involving 11,463 households and 9,828 childbirths. Information on last born child was recorded for 5,895 mother-child pairs. Factors influencing under-utilization of ANC were assessed using hierarchical logistic regression analysis. AB - RESULTS: Only 3311 (55.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 53.1 to 57.3%) made the recommended four ANC visits, while 2584 (44.8; 95% CI 42.7 to 46.9%) of them reported attending three or less ANC services. Significant factors positively associated with the under-utilization of ANC were low wealth status (odds ratio (OR) 2.09; 95% CI 1.68 to 2.60), no maternal education (OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.30 to 1.82) or primary maternal education (OR 1.21; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.41), no paternal education (OR 1.34; 95% CI 1.13 to 1.60), and having a big problem in permission to visit health facility (OR 1.65; 95% CI 1.39 to 1.96). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Despite the apparently good progress made in re-establishing the healthcare infrastructure, 45 % of mothers remained in need of a focused intervention to increase their use of ANC services. Further prenatal care program should pay attention to women with low wealth status and those and their partners who are uneducated. Moreover, women should be encouraged to make decision on their own health.

Delivery psychological impacts vary depending on whether delivery has been positively or negatively experienced. Delivery experience determinants have been identified but the understanding of their expression according to the mode of delivery is poorly documented. The purpose of the study was to determine important elements associated with women's first delivery experience according to the mode of delivery: vaginal or caesarean section. AB - METHODS: Qualitative approach using thematic content analysis of in-depth interviews conducted between 4 and 6 weeks' postpartum, in 24 primiparous women who delivered at Geneva University Hospital in 2012. AB - RESULTS: Perceived control, emotions, and the first moments with the newborn are important elements for the experience of childbirth. Depending on the mode of delivery these are perceived differently, with a negative connotation in the case of caesarean section. Other elements influencing the delivery experience were identified among all participants, irrespective of the mode of delivery. They included representations, as well as the relationship with caregivers and the father in the delivery room, privacy, unexpected sensory experiences, and ownership of the maternal role. Women's and health professionals' representations sometimes led to a hierarchy based on the mode of delivery and use of analgesia. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The mode of delivery directly impacts on certain key delivery experience determinants as perceived control, emotions, and the first moments with the newborn. The ability/inability of the woman to imagine a second pregnancy is a good indicator of the birth experience. Certain health professional gestures or attitudes can promote a positive delivery experience. We recommend to better prepare women during prenatal classes for the eventuality of a caesarean section delivery and to offer all women and, possibly, their partners, the opportunity to talk about the experience of childbirth during the postpartum period. The results of this study suggest that further research is required on the social representations of women and health professionals regarding the existence of a hierarchy associated with the mode of delivery.

Examining associations of birth location preferences on pregnant women's experiences is important to understanding delays in care seeking in the event of complications. We explored the influence of birth location preference on women's pregnancy, labor and birth outcomes. AB - METHODS: A qualitative study conducted in rural Ghana consisted of birth narratives of mothers (n = 20) who experienced pregnancy/labor complications, and fathers (n = 18) whose partners experienced such complications in their last pregnancy. All but two women in our sample delivered in a health facility due to complications. We developed narrative summaries of each interview and iteratively coded the interviews. We then analyzed the data through coding summaries and developed analytic matrices from coded transcripts. AB - RESULTS: Birth delivery location preferences were split for mothers (home delivery-9; facility delivery-11), and fathers (home delivery-7; facility delivery-11). We identified two patterns of preferences and birth outcomes: 1) preference for homebirth that resulted in delayed care seeking and was likely associated with several cases of stillbirths and postpartum morbidities; 2) Preference for health facility birth that resulted in early care seeking, and possibly enabled women to avoid adverse effects of birth complications. AB - CONCLUSION: Safe pregnancy and childbirth interventions should be tailored to the birth location preferences of mothers and fathers, and should include education on the development of birth preparedness plans to access timely delivery related care. Improving access to and the quality of care at health facilities will also be crucial to facilitating use of facility-based delivery care in rural Ghana.

There is strong empirical evidence that fathers have a major impact on their partner's decision to breastfeed and continuation of breastfeeding. Fathers want to participate in the breastfeeding decision making process and to know how they can support their partner to achieve their breastfeeding goals. The aim of the Parent Infant Feeding Initiative (PIFI) is to evaluate the effect on duration of any and exclusive breastfeeding of three breastfeeding promotion interventions of differing intensity and duration, targeted at couples but channelled through the male partner. The study will also undertake a cost-effectiveness evaluation of the interventions. AB - METHODS/DESIGN: The PIFI study is a factorial randomised controlled trial. Participants will be mothers and their male partners attending antenatal classes at selected public and private hospitals with maternity departments in Perth, Western Australia. Fathers will be randomly allocated to either the usual care control group (CG), one of two medium intensity (MI1 and MI2) interventions, or a high intensity (HI) intervention. MI1 will include a specialised antenatal breastfeeding education session for fathers with supporting print materials. MI2 will involve the delivery of an antenatal and postnatal social support intervention delivered via a smartphone application and HI will include both the specialised antenatal class and the social support intervention. Outcome data will be collected from couples at baseline and at six and 26 weeks postnatally. A total of 1600 couples will be recruited. This takes into account a 25% attrition rate, and will detect at least a 10% difference in the proportion of mothers breastfeeding between any two of the groups at 26 weeks at 80% power and 5% level of significance, using a Log-rank survival test. Multivariable survival and logistic regression analyses will be used to assess the effect of the treatment groups on the outcomes after adjusting for covariates. AB - DISCUSSION: The PIFI study will be the first Australian study to provide Level II evidence of the impact on breastfeeding duration of a comprehensive, multi-level, male-partner-focused breastfeeding intervention.

The majority of previous research has focused on specific risk factors and has used a variety of outcome measures. This study used a single assessment of parenting behaviours and started with a wide range of potential pre- and post-natal variables; such an approach might be used to identify families who might benefit from parenting interventions. AB - METHODS: Using a case-control subsample of 160 subjects from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), regression analysis was undertaken to model parenting behaviours at 12 months as measured by the Mellow Parenting Observational System. AB - RESULTS: Positive parenting increased with maternal age at delivery, levels of education and with prenatal anxiety. More negative interactions were observed among younger mothers, mothers with male infants, with prenatal non-smokers and among mothers who perceived they had a poor support structure. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates two factors which may be important in identifying families most at risk of negative parenting: younger maternal age at delivery and lack of social support during pregnancy. Such factors could be taken into account when planning provision of services such as parenting interventions. We also established that male children were significantly more likely to be negatively parented, a novel finding which may suggest an area for future research. However the findings have to be accepted cautiously and have to be replicated, as the measures used do not have established psychometric validity and reliability data.

More specifically, neonatal rates in Ethiopia are among the highest in the world. In this regard, health-seeking behavior of mothers for neonatal care highly relies on their knowledge about neonatal danger sign, and it has been hardly investigated. Therefore, this study was intended to determine the level of mother's knowledge about neonatal danger signs and to identify factors associated with good mother's knowledge. AB - METHODS: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2014. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 603 mothers. A structured, pre-tested, and interview-administered questionnaire comprehending 13 neonatal danger signs was employed to collect the data. Data were entered into EPI-Info 3.5.2 and analyzed by SPSS version 16. Binary logistic regression model was used to identify associated factors. Odds ratio with 95% CI was computed to assess the strength and significant level of the association. AB - RESULTS: All mothers expected to participate in the study were interviewed. The results of the study showed that mothers who had knowledge of three or more neonatal danger signs (good knowledge) were found to be 18.2% (95% CI 15.1, 21.3%). The odds of having good knowledge was positively associated with mother's (AOR = 3.41, 95% CI 1.37, 8.52) and father's (AOR = 3.91, 95% CI 1.23, 12.36) higher educational achievement. Similarly, the odds of having good knowledge about neonatal danger signs was higher among Antenatal care (AOR = 2.28, 95% CI 1.05, 4.95) and Postnatal care attendant mothers (AOR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.22, 3.54). Furthermore, access to television was also associated with mothers' good knowledge about neonatal danger signs (AOR = 3.49, 95% CI 1.30, 9.39). AB - CONCLUSION: Maternal knowledge about neonatal danger signs was low. Therefore, intervention modalities that focus on increasing level of parental education, access to antenatal and postnatal care and PNC service, and advocating the use of television was pinpointed.

After the federal government refused to allow (and courts blocked) the exclusion of Planned Parenthood affiliates from the Texas Medicaid fee-for-service family-planning program, Texas excluded them from a state-funded replacement program, effective January 1, 2013. We assessed rates of contraceptive-method provision, method continuation through the program, and childbirth covered by Medicaid before and after the Planned Parenthood exclusion. AB - METHODS: We used all program claims from 2011 through 2014 to examine changes in the number of claims for contraceptives according to method for 2 years before and 2 years after the exclusion. Among women using injectable contraceptives at baseline, we observed rates of contraceptive continuation through the program and of childbirth covered by Medicaid. We used the difference-in-differences method to compare outcomes in counties with Planned Parenthood affiliates with outcomes in those without such affiliates. AB - RESULTS: After the Planned Parenthood exclusion, there were estimated reductions in the number of claims from 1042 to 672 (relative reduction, 35.5%) for long-acting, reversible contraceptives and from 6832 to 4708 (relative reduction, 31.1%) for injectable contraceptives (P<0.001 for both comparisons). There was no significant change in the number of claims for short-acting hormonal contraceptive methods during this period. Among women using injectable contraceptives, the percentage of women who returned for a subsequent on-time contraceptive injection decreased from 56.9% among those whose subsequent injections were due before the exclusion to 37.7% among those whose subsequent injections were due after the exclusion in the counties with Planned Parenthood affiliates but increased from 54.9% to 58.5% in the counties without such affiliates (estimated difference in differences in counties with affiliates as compared with those without affiliates, -22.9 percentage points; P<0.001). During this period in counties with Planned Parenthood affiliates, the rate of childbirth covered by Medicaid increased by 1.9 percentage points (a relative increase of 27.1% from baseline) within 18 months after the claim (P=0.01). AB - CONCLUSIONS: The exclusion of Planned Parenthood affiliates from a state-funded replacement for a Medicaid fee-for-service program in Texas was associated with adverse changes in the provision of contraception. For women using injectable contraceptives, there was a reduction in the rate of contraceptive continuation and an increase in the rate of childbirth covered by Medicaid. (Funded by the Susan T.

AB - DESIGN: Descriptive phenomenology. AB - SETTING: A private room at the participants' homes or community center. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Forty-eight immigrant women and men from Somalia (26 women and 22 men) who arrived in the United States within the past 5 years and had a child or children born in their homelands or refugee camps and at least one child born in the United States. All of the participants resided in the Pacific Northwest. AB - METHODS: Semistructured individual interviews, interviews with couples, and a follow-up phone interview. Colaizzi's method guided the research process. AB - RESULTS: Data analysis revealed an overarching theme of Navigating through the conflicting values, beliefs, understandings and expectations that infiltrated the experiences captured by the three subthemes: (a) Feeling vulnerable, uninformed, and misunderstood, (b) Longing for unconditional respect and acceptance and (c) Surviving and thriving as the recipients of health care. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Integration of new Somali immigrant couples into the Western health care system can present many challenges. The perinatal experience for new Somali immigrant couples is complicated by cultural and language barriers, limited access to resources, and commonly, an exclusion of husbands from prenatal education and care.

AB - DESIGN AND SETTING: this was a secondary analysis with data from part of an experimental study of the effects of an interpersonal-psychotherapy-oriented childbirth psychoeducation programme on maternal adaptation. A longitudinal design was employed in the present study. The study was carried out from July 2008 to May 2009 in one general hospital in Guangzhou, China. AB - PARTICIPANTS: a convenience sample of 68 first-time mothers in mainland China completed measurement of social support and parenting self-efficacy during pregnancy and at six weeks and three months post partum. AB - FINDINGS: perceived social support and parenting self-efficacy declined during early motherhood. Parenting self-efficacy increased from six weeks post partum to three months post partum. Perceived social support positively correlated with parenting self-efficacy. AB - CONCLUSION: culturally competent health-care intervention should be developed during early motherhood to promote perceived social support and parenting self-efficacy for the new mothers.

During pregnancy, there are many opportunities within the current health care system for screening and early intervention during routine prenatal care or during episodic care in a hospital setting. This article describes the effects of IPV on maternal health (e.g., insufficient or inconsistent prenatal care, poor nutrition, inadequate weight gain, substance use, increased prevalence of depression), as well as adverse neonatal outcomes (e.g., low birth weight [LBW]), preterm birth [PTB], and small for gestational age [SGA]) and maternal and neonatal death. Discussion of the mechanisms of action are explored and include: maternal engagement in health behaviors that are considered "risky," including smoking and alcohol and substance use, and new evidence regarding the alteration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and resulting changes in hormones that may affect LBW and SGA infants and PTB. Clinical recommendations include a commitment for routine screening of IPV in all pregnant women who present for care using validated screening instruments. In addition, the provision of readily accessible prenatal care and the development of a trusting patient-provider relationship are first steps in addressing the problem of IPV in pregnancy. Early trials of targeted interventions such as a nurse-led home visitation program and the Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation Program show promising results. Brief psychobehavioral interventions are also being explored. The approach of universal screening, patient engagement in prenatal care, and targeted individualized interventions has the ability to reduce the adverse effects of IPV and highlight the importance of this complex social disorder as a top priority in maternal and neonatal health.

However, despite strong evidences in support of breast feeding its prevalence has remained low worldwide. The objective of the present study was to examine the knowledge and attitude towards breast feeding and infant feeding practices among Indian postnatal mothers. AB - METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out among randomly selected postnatal mothers at Pediatric outpatient department at a tertiary care center. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire. AB - RESULTS: Our findings revealed that a majority (88.5%) of the mothers were breast feeders. However, merely 27% of the mothers were exclusive breast feeders and only 36.9% initiated breast feeding within an hour. While mothers have good knowledge on breast feeding (12.05+/-1.74, M+/-SD), the average score of the Iowa Infant Feeding Scale (IIFAS) (58.77+/-4.74, M +/-SD) indicate neutral attitudes toward breast feeding. Mothers those who were currently breast feeding (58.83 +/- 4.74) had more positive attitudes than non- breastfeed mothers (45.21+/-5.22). AB - CONCLUSION: Our findings also show that the level of exclusive breast-feeding was low. Thus, it is important to provide prenatal education to mothers and fathers on breast-feeding. We also recommend strengthening the public health education campaigns to promote breast-feeding.

We examined whether maternal melatonin therapy prevents programmed hypertension synergistically induced by prenatal DEX plus postnatal HF in adult offspring. We also examined whether DEX and melatonin causes renal programming using next-generation RNA sequencing (NGS) technology. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats received intraperitoneal dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg) or vehicle from gestational day 16 to 22. In the melatonin-treatment groups (M), rats received 0.01% melatonin in drinking water during their entire pregnancy and lactation. Male offspring were assigned to five groups: control, DEX, HF, DEX+HF, and DEX+HF+M. Male offspring in the HF group were fed a HF diet from weaning to 4 months of age. Prenatal DEX and postnatal HF diet synergistically induced programmed hypertension in adult offspring, which melatonin prevented. Maternal melatonin treatment modified over 3000 renal transcripts in the developing offspring kidney. Our NGS data indicate that PPAR signaling and fatty acid metabolism are two significantly regulated pathways. In addition, maternal melatonin therapy elicits longstanding alterations on renal programming, including regulation of the melatonin signaling pathway and upregulation of Agtr1b and Mas1 expression in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), to protect male offspring against programmed hypertension. Postnatal HF aggravates prenatal DEX induced programmed hypertension in adult offspring, which melatonin prevented. The protective effects of melatonin on programmed hypertension is associated with regulation of the RAS and melatonin receptors. The long-term effects of maternal melatonin therapy on renal transcriptome require further clarification.

The 2-h psycho-educational programme marks the first of its kind to be trialled in the UK and was delivered as an adjunct to existing antenatal classes provided through the National Health Service. A cluster randomised design was used as antenatal classes rather than participants were randomly allocated to either treatment condition. Feasibility was assessed on the basis of pragmatic delivery and acceptability of the intervention. Data from 47 participants who received the intervention and 36 participants who did not was then compared to provide a preliminary indication of its effectiveness. Outcomes were assessed in terms of relationship satisfaction, couple communication and psychological distress. The intervention appeared feasible in terms of pragmatic delivery, rates of uptake and attendance at sessions. Participant evaluation forms also indicated that people were reasonably satisfied with the intervention and would recommend it to friends. Three significant phasesxcondition interactions were indicated using mixed-methods analyses of variance (ANOVAs); women in the intervention condition reported significantly less deterioration in relationship satisfaction (F(1, 44)=3.11; p=0.021; eta(2)=0.07), while men in the intervention condition reported significantly less deterioration in couple communication (F(1, 35)=2.59; p=0.029; eta(2)=0.08) and significant improvement in their experience of psychological distress (adjusted z=1.99; p=0.023; Cohen's d=0.47). These positive preliminary indicators lend support to future large-scale investigation.

We have solid theoretical and political arguments in favor of efforts enhancing the quality of the early family environment in the population at large. However, little is known about effect of universal approaches to parenting support during the transition to parenthood. This protocol describes an experimental evaluation of group based parenting support, the Family Startup Program (FSP), currently implemented large scale in Denmark. AB - METHODS/DESIGN: Participants will be approximately 2500 pregnant women and partners. Inclusion criteria are parental age above 18 and the mother expecting first child. Families are recruited when attending routine pregnancy scans provided as a part of the publicly available prenatal care program at Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby. Families are randomized within four geographically defined strata to one of two conditions a) participation in FSP or b) Treatment As Usual (TAU). FSP aims to prepare new families for their roles as parents and enhance parental access to informal sources of support, i.e. social network and community resources. The program consists of twelve group sessions, with nine families in each group, continuing from pregnancy until the child is 15 months old. TAU is the publicly available pre- and postnatal care available to families in both conditions. Analyses will employ survey data, administrative data from health visitors, and administrative register based data from Statistics Denmark. All data sources will be linked via the unique Danish Civil Registration Register (CPR) identifier. Data will be obtained at four time points, during pregnancy, when the child is nine months, 18 months and seven years. The primary study outcome is measured by the Parenting Sense of Competence scale (PSOC) J Clin Child Psychol 18:167-75, 1989. Other outcomes include parenting and couple relationship quality, utility of primary sector service and child physical health, socio-emotional and cognitive development. AB - DISCUSSION: The protocol describes an ambitious experimental evaluation of a universal group-based parenting support program; an evaluation that has not yet been made either in Denmark or internationally.

In typically developing individuals, susceptibility to SUD is associated with alterations in dopamine and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) systems, and their interactions.

Amphetamine-stress cross-sensitization paradigms were utilized to investigate sensitivity of dopamine and stress (HPA) systems, and their interactions following PAE. AB - METHODS: Adult Sprague-Dawley offspring from PAE, pair-fed, and ad libitum-fed control groups were assigned to amphetamine-(1-2 mg/kg) or saline-treated conditions, with injections every other day for 15 days. Fourteen days later, all animals received an amphetamine challenge (1 mg/kg) and 5 days later, hormones were measured under basal or acute stress conditions. Amphetamine sensitization (augmented locomotion, days 1-29) and cross-sensitization with acute restraint stress (increased stress hormones, day 34) were assessed. AB - RESULTS: PAE rats exhibited a lower threshold for amphetamine sensitization compared to controls, suggesting enhanced sensitivity of dopaminergic systems to stimulant-induced changes. Cross-sensitization between amphetamine (dopamine) and stress (HPA hormone) systems was evident in PAE, but not in control rats. PAE males exhibited increased dopamine receptor expression (medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)) compared to controls. AB - CONCLUSIONS: PAE alters induction and expression of sensitization/cross-sensitization, as reflected in locomotor, neural, and endocrine changes, in a manner consistent with increased sensitivity of dopamine and stress systems. These results provide insight into possible mechanisms that could underlie increased prevalence of SUD, as well as the impact of widely prescribed stimulant medications among adolescents with FASD.

We have solid theoretical and political arguments in favor of efforts enhancing the quality of the early family environment in the population at large. However, little is known about effect of universal approaches to parenting support during the transition to parenthood. This protocol describes an experimental evaluation of group based parenting support, the Family Startup Program (FSP), currently implemented large scale in Denmark. AB - METHODS/DESIGN: Participants will be approximately 2500 pregnant women and partners. Inclusion criteria are parental age above 18 and the mother expecting first child. Families are recruited when attending routine pregnancy scans provided as a part of the publicly available prenatal care program at Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby. Families are randomized within four geographically defined strata to one of two conditions a) participation in FSP or b) Treatment As Usual (TAU). FSP aims to prepare new families for their roles as parents and enhance parental access to informal sources of support, i.e. social network and community resources. The program consists of twelve group sessions, with nine families in each group, continuing from pregnancy until the child is 15 months old. TAU is the publicly available pre- and postnatal care available to families in both conditions. Analyses will employ survey data, administrative data from health visitors, and administrative register based data from Statistics Denmark. All data sources will be linked via the unique Danish Civil Registration Register (CPR) identifier. Data will be obtained at four time points, during pregnancy, when the child is nine months, 18 months and seven years. The primary study outcome is measured by the Parenting Sense of Competence scale (PSOC) J Clin Child Psychol 18:167-75, 1989. Other outcomes include parenting and couple relationship quality, utility of primary sector service and child physical health, socio-emotional and cognitive development. AB - DISCUSSION: The protocol describes an ambitious experimental evaluation of a universal group-based parenting support program; an evaluation that has not yet been made either in Denmark or internationally.

AB - OUTCOMES: Healthy pregnancies for adolescent women in Canada, with culturally sensitive and age-appropriate care to ensure the best possible outcomes for these young women and their infants and young families, and to reduce repeat pregnancy rates. AB - EVIDENCE: Published literature was retrieved through searches of PubMed and The Cochrane Library on May 23, 2012 using appropriate controlled vocabulary (e.g., Pregnancy in Adolescence) and key words (e.g., pregnancy, teen, youth). Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies. Results were limited to English or French language materials published in or after 1990. Searches were updated on a regular basis and incorporated in the guideline to July 6, 2013. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology-related agencies, national and international medical specialty societies, and clinical practice guideline collections. AB - VALUES: The quality of evidence in this document was rated using the criteria described in the Report of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Table 1). BENEFITS/HARMS/COSTS: These guidelines are designed to help practitioners caring for adolescent women during pregnancy in Canada and allow them to take the best care of these young women in a manner appropriate for their age, cultural backgrounds, and risk profiles. AB - RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Health care providers should adapt their prenatal care for adolescents and offer multidisciplinary care that is easily accessible to the adolescent early in the pregnancy, recognizing that adolescents often present to care later than their adult counterparts. A model that provides an opportunity to address all of these needs at one site may be the preferred model of care for pregnant adolescents. (II-1A) 2. Health care providers should be sensitive to the unique developmental needs of adolescents through all stages of pregnancy and during intrapartum and postpartum care. (III-B) 3. Adolescents have high-risk pregnancies and should be managed accordingly within programs that have the capacity to manage their care. The unique physical risks of adolescent pregnancy should be recognized and the care provided must address these. (II-1A) 4. Fathers and partners should be included as much as possible in pregnancy care and prenatal/infant care education. (III-B) 5. A first-trimester ultrasound is recommended not only for the usual reasons for properly dating the pregnancy, but also for assessing the increased risks of preterm birth. (I-A) 6. Counselling about all available pregnancy outcome options (abortion, adoption, and parenting) should be provided to any adolescent with a confirmed intrauterine gestation. (III-A) 7. Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STI) (II-2A) and bacterial vaginosis (III-B) should be performed routinely upon presentation for pregnancy care and again in the third trimester; STI testing should also be performed postpartum and when needed symptomatically. a. Because pregnant adolescents are inherently at increased risk for preterm labour, preterm birth, and preterm pre-labour rupture of membranes, screening and management of bacterial vaginosis is recommended. (III-B) b. After treatment for a positive test, a test of cure is needed 3 to 4 weeks after completion of treatment. Refer partner for screening and treatment. Take the opportunity to discuss condom use. (III-A) 8. Routine and repeated screening for alcohol use, substance abuse, and violence in pregnancy is recommended because of their increased rates in this population. (II-2A) 9. Routine and repeated screening for and treatment of mood disorders in pregnancy is recommended because of their increased rates in this population. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale administered in each trimester and postpartum, and more frequently if deemed necessary, is one option for such screening. (II-2A) 10. Pregnant adolescents should have a nutritional assessment, vitamins and food supplementation if needed, and access to a strategy to reduce anemia and low birth weight and to optimize weight gain in pregnancy. (II-2A) 11. Conflicting evidence supports and refutes differences in gestational hypertension in the adolescent population; therefore, the care usual for adult populations is supported for pregnant adolescents at this time. (II-2A) 12. Practitioners should consult gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) guidelines. In theory, testing all patients is appropriate, although rates of GDM are generally lower in adolescent populations. Practitioners should be aware, however, that certain ethnic groups including Aboriginal populations are at high risk of GDM. (II-2A) 13. An ultrasound anatomical assessment at 16 to 20 weeks is recommended because of increased rates of congenital anomalies in this population. (II-2A) 14. As in other populations at risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and low birth weight, an ultrasound to assess fetal well-being and estimated fetal weight at 32 to 34 weeks gestational age is suggested to screen for IUGR. (III-A) 15. Visits in the second or third trimester should be more frequent to address the increased risk of preterm labour and preterm birth and to assess fetal well-being. All caregivers should be aware of the signs and symptoms of preterm labour and should educate their patients to recognize them. (III-A) 16. It should be recognized that adolescents have improved vaginal delivery rates and a concomitantly lower Caesarean section rate than their adult counterparts. (II-2A) As with antenatal care, peripartum care in hospital should be multidisciplinary, involving social care, support for breastfeeding and lactation, and the involvement of children's aid services when warranted. (III-B) 17. Postpartum care should include a focus on contraceptive methods, especially long-acting reversible contraception methods, as a means to decrease the high rates of repeat pregnancy in this population; discussion of contraception should begin before delivery. (III-A) 18. Breastfeeding should be recommended and sufficient support given to this population at high risk for discontinuation. (II-2A) 19. Postpartum care programs should be available to support adolescent parents and their children, to improve the mothers' knowledge of parenting, to increase breastfeeding rates, to screen for and manage postpartum depression, to increase birth intervals, and to decrease repeated unintended pregnancy rates. (III-B) 20. Adolescent women in rural, remote, northern, and Aboriginal communities should be supported to give birth as close to home as possible. (II-2A) 21. Adolescent pregnant women who need to be evacuated from a remote community should be able to have a family member or other person accompany them to provide support and encouragement. (II-2A) 22. Culturally safe prenatal care including emotional, educational, and clinical support to assist adolescent parents in leading healthier lives should be available, especially in northern and Aboriginal communities. (II-3A) 23. Cultural beliefs around miscarriage and pregnancy issues, and special considerations in the handling of fetal remains, placental tissue, and the umbilical cord, must be respected. (III). OA - Publisher: Objectif : Decrire les besoins des adolescentes enceintes au Canada (y compris celles qui sont issues de populations particulieres) et les pratiques factuelles propres aux soins qui doivent etre offerts a ces femmes. Issues : Grossesses saines chez les adolescentes au Canada; offre de soins surs au plan culturel et adaptes a l'age pour assurer l'obtention des meilleures issues possibles pour ces jeunes femmes, leurs enfants et leur famille; et reduction des taux de grossesse a repetition. Resultats : La litterature publiee a ete recuperee par l'intermediaire de recherches menees dans PUBMED et The Cochrane Library le 23 mai 2012, au moyen d'un vocabulaire controle (p. ex. << Pregnancy in Adolescence >>) et de mots cles (p. ex. << pregnancy >>, << teen >>, << youth >>) appropries. Les resultats ont ete restreints aux analyses systematiques, aux etudes observationnelles et aux essais comparatifs randomises / essais cliniques comparatifs. Les resultats ont ete limites aux articles publies en anglais ou en francais a partir de 1990. Les recherches ont ete mises a jour de facon reguliere et integrees a la directive clinique jusqu'au 6 juillet 2013. La litterature grise (non publiee) a ete identifiee par l'intermediaire de recherches menees dans les sites Web d'organismes s'interessant a l'evaluation des technologies dans le domaine de la sante et d'organismes connexes, dans des collections de directives cliniques, dans des registres d'essais cliniques et aupres de societes de specialite medicale nationales et internationales. Valeurs : La qualite des resultats a ete evaluee au moyen des criteres decrits dans le rapport du Groupe d'etude canadien sur les soins de sante preventifs (Tableau). Avantages, desavantages et couts : La presente directive clinique a ete concue pour aider les praticiens canadiens a offrir aux adolescentes enceintes des soins optimaux qui sont adaptes a leur age, a leur contexte culturel et a leurs profils de risque. Recommandations 1. Les professionnels de la sante devraient adapter leurs services prenataux aux besoins des adolescentes et leur offrir des soins multidisciplinaires dont elles pourront facilement se prevaloir tot dans le cadre de la grossesse, en tenant ainsi compte du fait que les adolescentes sollicitent souvent des soins plus tard que leurs homologues adultes. Un modele de soins permettant de repondre a tous ces besoins en un seul et meme endroit pourrait constituer le modele a privilegier pour les adolescentes enceintes. (II-1A) 2. Les fournisseurs de soins devraient etre sensibles aux besoins developpementaux particuliers des adolescentes tout au long de la grossesse, ainsi que dans le cadre des soins intrapartum et postpartum. (III-B) 3. Chez les adolescentes, la grossesse est exposee a des risques eleves et devrait faire l'objet d'une prise en charge adaptee en consequence dans le cadre de programmes disposant des capacites necessaires. Les risques physiques propres a la grossesse chez une adolescente doivent etre pris en consideration et les soins offerts doivent s'y adapter. (II-1A) 4. La participation des peres et des partenaires aux cours prenataux (soins a prodiguer a la mere et a l'enfant) devrait etre favorisee autant que possible. (III-B) 5. La tenue d'une echographie au cours du premier trimestre est recommandee non seulement aux fins de la datation adequate de la grossesse (soit la raison habituellement invoquee pour la tenue d'une telle intervention), mais egalement pour l'evaluation des risques accrus d'accouchement preterme. (I-A) 6. Des services de counseling traitant de toutes les options disponibles en ce qui concerne la grossesse (avortement, adoption et parentage) devraient etre offerts a toutes les adolescentes chez qui la presence d'une grossesse intra-uterine a ete confirmee. (III-A) 7. Un depistage visant les infections transmissibles sexuellement (II-2A) et la vaginose bacterienne (III-B) devrait etre mene systematiquement dans le cadre de la premiere consultation prenatale et, une fois de plus, au cours du troisieme trimestre; un depistage visant les infections transmissibles sexuellement devrait egalement etre mene pendant la periode postpartum et lorsque la presence de symptomes en justifie la mise en oeuvre. a. Puisque les adolescentes enceintes sont intrinsequement exposees a des risques accrus de travail preterme, d'accouchement preterme et de rupture prematuree des membranes preterme, elles constituent un << groupe expose a des risques eleves >> : le depistage et la prise en charge de la vaginose bacterienne s'averent donc recommandee. (III-B) b. A la suite d'un traitement mis en oeuvre en raison de l'obtention d'un resultat positif au depistage, la tenue d'un test de controle post-traitement s'avere requise de trois a quatre semaines a la suite de la fin du traitement. L'orientation du partenaire vers des services de depistage et de traitement s'avere egalement requise. Les fournisseurs de soins devraient profiter de l'occasion pour discuter de l'utilisation de condoms avec leurs patientes. (III-A) 8. La mise en oeuvre systematique et repetee d'un depistage de la consommation d'alcool, de la consommation de substances psychoactives et de la violence pendant la grossesse est recommandee, en raison de leurs taux accrus au sein de cette population. (II-2A) 9. La mise en oeuvre systematique et repetee d'un depistage et d'une prise en charge des troubles de l'humeur pendant la grossesse est recommandee, en raison des taux accrus de ces troubles au sein de cette population. L'administration de l'Echelle de depression postnatale d'Edimbourg a chaque trimestre et pendant la periode postpartum (et plus frequemment, lorsque cela semble necessaire) constitue une option pour la mise en oeuvre d'un tel depistage. (II-2A) 10. Les adolescentes enceintes devraient faire l'objet d'une evaluation nutritionnelle et d'une supplementation en vitamines et en aliments (au besoin), ainsi qu'obtenir acces a une strategie visant l'optimisation du gain ponderal pendant la grossesse et la baisse des risques d'anemie et de faible poids de naissance. (II-2A) 11. Des donnees contradictoires soutiennent et refutent la presence de differences en matiere d'hypertension gestationnelle au sein de la population adolescente; ainsi, nous soutenons pour l'instant l'offre, aux adolescentes enceintes, des soins qui sont habituellement offerts aux populations adultes. (II-2A) 12. Les praticiens devraient consulter les lignes directrices traitant du diabete sucre gestationnel. En theorie, le depistage de toutes les patientes s'avere approprie, et ce, bien que les taux de diabete sucre gestationnel soient generalement moindres chez les populations adolescentes. Les praticiens devraient cependant etre avises que certains groupes ethniques (dont les populations autochtones) sont exposes a des risques eleves de diabete sucre gestationnel. (II-2A) 13. La tenue d'une echographie d'evaluation anatomique a 16-20 semaines est recommandee, en raison des taux accrus d'anomalies congenitales au sein de cette population. (II-2A) 14. Tout comme dans le cas d'autres populations exposees a des risques de retard de croissance intra-uterin et de faible poids de naissance, la tenue d'une echographie visant a evaluer le bien-etre foetal et a estimer le poids foetal a un age gestationnel de 32-34 semaines est suggeree pour le depistage du retard de croissance intra-uterin. (III-A) 15. Au cours du deuxieme ou du troisieme trimestre, les consultations devraient etre plus frequentes pour traiter des risques accrus de travail et d'accouchement pretermes, et pour evaluer le bien-etre foetal. Tous les fournisseurs de soins devraient connaitre les symptomes du travail preterme et former leurs patientes de facon a ce qu'elles puissent les reconnaitre. (III-A) 16. On se doit de souligner que les adolescentes comptent des taux d'accouchement vaginal superieurs et (de facon concomitante) des taux de cesarienne inferieurs, par comparaison avec leurs homologues adultes. (II-2A) Tout comme dans le cas des soins prenataux, les soins peripartum prodigues a l'hopital devraient etre de nature multidisciplinaire, mettre en jeu le milieu social, soutenir l'allaitement et la lactation, et solliciter la participation des services de protection de l'enfance, lorsque cela s'avere justifie. (III-B) 17. Les soins postpartum devraient comprendre une composante traitant des modes de contraception (particulierement des contraceptifs reversibles a action prolongee), dans le but d'abaisser les taux eleves de nouvelle grossesse chez les adolescentes; les discussions au sujet de la contraception devraient debuter avant l'accouchement. (III-A) 18. L'allaitement devrait etre recommande et du soutien suffisant devrait etre offert a cette population exposee a des risques eleves d'abandon. (II-2A) 19. Des programmes de soins postpartum visant la hausse des connaissances parentales et des taux d'allaitement, le depistage et la prise en charge de la depression postpartum, le prolongement des intervalles entre les grossesses et la reduction des taux de grossesse non souhaitee a repetition devraient etre offerts pour soutenir les parents adolescents et leurs enfants. (III-B) 20. Au sein des collectivites autochtones, rurales, eloignees et du Nord, les adolescentes devraient beneficier du soutien necessaire a la tenue de l'accouchement le plus pres possible de leur foyer. (II-2A) 21. Les adolescentes enceintes qui doivent etre evacuees d'une collectivite eloignee devraient pouvoir se faire accompagner par un membre de la famille (ou toute autre personne de leur choix) a des fins de soutien et d'encouragement. (II-2A) 22. Des soins prenataux surs au plan culturel (y compris des mesures de soutien affectif, pedagogique et clinique aidant les parents adolescents a mener une vie leur assurant la sante) doivent etre offerts, et ce, particulierement au sein des collectivites autochtones et du Nord. (II-3A) 23. Les croyances culturelles (entourant la fausse couche et les problemes de la grossesse) et les considerations particulieres (en ce qui concerne la manipulation des restes foetaux, des tissus placentaires et du cordon ombilical) doivent etre respectees.

Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies. Results were limited to English or French language materials published in or after 1990. Searches were updated on a regular basis and incorporated in the guideline to July 6, 2013. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology-related agencies, national and international medical specialty societies, and clinical practice guideline collections. AB - VALUES: The quality of evidence in this document was rated using the criteria described in the Report of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (Table 1). BENEFITS/HARMS/COSTS: These guidelines are designed to help practitioners caring for adolescent women during pregnancy in Canada and allow them to take the best care of these young women in a manner appropriate for their age, cultural backgrounds, and risk profiles. AB - RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Health care providers should adapt their prenatal care for adolescents and offer multidisciplinary care that is easily accessible to the adolescent early in the pregnancy, recognizing that adolescents often present to care later than their adult counterparts. A model that provides an opportunity to address all of these needs at one site may be the preferred model of care for pregnant adolescents. (II-1A) 2. Health care providers should be sensitive to the unique developmental needs of adolescents through all stages of pregnancy and during intrapartum and postpartum care. (III-B) 3. Adolescents have high-risk pregnancies and should be managed accordingly within programs that have the capacity to manage their care. The unique physical risks of adolescent pregnancy should be recognized and the care provided must address these. (II-1A) 4. Fathers and partners should be included as much as possible in pregnancy care and prenatal/infant care education. (III-B) 5. A first-trimester ultrasound is recommended not only for the usual reasons for properly dating the pregnancy, but also for assessing the increased risks of preterm birth. (I-A) 6. Counselling about all available pregnancy outcome options (abortion, adoption, and parenting) should be provided to any adolescent with a confirmed intrauterine gestation. (III-A) 7. Testing for sexually transmitted infections (STI) (II-2A) and bacterial vaginosis (III-B) should be performed routinely upon presentation for pregnancy care and again in the third trimester; STI testing should also be performed postpartum and when needed symptomatically. a. Because pregnant adolescents are inherently at increased risk for preterm labour, preterm birth, and preterm pre-labour rupture of membranes, screening and management of bacterial vaginosis is recommended. (III-B) b. After treatment for a positive test, a test of cure is needed 3 to 4 weeks after completion of treatment. Refer partner for screening and treatment. Take the opportunity to discuss condom use. (III-A) 8. Routine and repeated screening for alcohol use, substance abuse, and violence in pregnancy is recommended because of their increased rates in this population. (II-2A) 9. Routine and repeated screening for and treatment of mood disorders in pregnancy is recommended because of their increased rates in this population. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale administered in each trimester and postpartum, and more frequently if deemed necessary, is one option for such screening. (II-2A) 10. Pregnant adolescents should have a nutritional assessment, vitamins and food supplementation if needed, and access to a strategy to reduce anemia and low birth weight and to optimize weight gain in pregnancy. (II-2A) 11. Conflicting evidence supports and refutes differences in gestational hypertension in the adolescent population; therefore, the care usual for adult populations is supported for pregnant adolescents at this time. (II-2A) 12. Practitioners should consult gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) guidelines. In theory, testing all patients is appropriate, although rates of GDM are generally lower in adolescent populations. Practitioners should be aware, however, that certain ethnic groups including Aboriginal populations are at high risk of GDM. (II-2A) 13. An ultrasound anatomical assessment at 16 to 20 weeks is recommended because of increased rates of congenital anomalies in this population. (II-2A) 14. As in other populations at risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and low birth weight, an ultrasound to assess fetal well-being and estimated fetal weight at 32 to 34 weeks gestational age is suggested to screen for IUGR. (III-A) 15. Visits in the second or third trimester should be more frequent to address the increased risk of preterm labour and preterm birth and to assess fetal well-being. All caregivers should be aware of the signs and symptoms of preterm labour and should educate their patients to recognize them. (III-A) 16. It should be recognized that adolescents have improved vaginal delivery rates and a concomitantly lower Caesarean section rate than their adult counterparts. (II-2A) As with antenatal care, peripartum care in hospital should be multidisciplinary, involving social care, support for breastfeeding and lactation, and the involvement of children's aid services when warranted. (III-B) 17. Postpartum care should include a focus on contraceptive methods, especially long-acting reversible contraception methods, as a means to decrease the high rates of repeat pregnancy in this population; discussion of contraception should begin before delivery. (III-A) 18. Breastfeeding should be recommended and sufficient support given to this population at high risk for discontinuation. (II-2A) 19. Postpartum care programs should be available to support adolescent parents and their children, to improve the mothers' knowledge of parenting, to increase breastfeeding rates, to screen for and manage postpartum depression, to increase birth intervals, and to decrease repeated unintended pregnancy rates. (III-B) 20. Adolescent women in rural, remote, northern, and Aboriginal communities should be supported to give birth as close to home as possible. (II-2A) 21. Adolescent pregnant women who need to be evacuated from a remote community should be able to have a family member or other person accompany them to provide support and encouragement. (II-2A) 22. Culturally safe prenatal care including emotional, educational, and clinical support to assist adolescent parents in leading healthier lives should be available, especially in northern and Aboriginal communities. (II-3A) 23. Cultural beliefs around miscarriage and pregnancy issues, and special considerations in the handling of fetal remains, placental tissue, and the umbilical cord, must be respected. (III). OA - Publisher: Objectif : Decrire les besoins des adolescentes enceintes au Canada (y compris celles qui sont issues de populations particulieres) et les pratiques factuelles propres aux soins qui doivent etre offerts a ces femmes. Issues : Grossesses saines chez les adolescentes au Canada; offre de soins surs au plan culturel et adaptes a l'age pour assurer l'obtention des meilleures issues possibles pour ces jeunes femmes, leurs enfants et leur famille; et reduction des taux de grossesse a repetition. Resultats : La litterature publiee a ete recuperee par l'intermediaire de recherches menees dans PUBMED et The Cochrane Library le 23 mai 2012, au moyen d'un vocabulaire controle (p. ex. << Pregnancy in Adolescence >>) et de mots cles (p. ex. << pregnancy >>, << teen >>, << youth >>) appropries. Les resultats ont ete restreints aux analyses systematiques, aux etudes observationnelles et aux essais comparatifs randomises / essais cliniques comparatifs. Les resultats ont ete limites aux articles publies en anglais ou en francais a partir de 1990. Les recherches ont ete mises a jour de facon reguliere et integrees a la directive clinique jusqu'au 6 juillet 2013. La litterature grise (non publiee) a ete identifiee par l'intermediaire de recherches menees dans les sites Web d'organismes s'interessant a l'evaluation des technologies dans le domaine de la sante et d'organismes connexes, dans des collections de directives cliniques, dans des registres d'essais cliniques et aupres de societes de specialite medicale nationales et internationales. Valeurs : La qualite des resultats a ete evaluee au moyen des criteres decrits dans le rapport du Groupe d'etude canadien sur les soins de sante preventifs (Tableau). Avantages, desavantages et couts : La presente directive clinique a ete concue pour aider les praticiens canadiens a offrir aux adolescentes enceintes des soins optimaux qui sont adaptes a leur age, a leur contexte culturel et a leurs profils de risque. Recommandations 1. Les professionnels de la sante devraient adapter leurs services prenataux aux besoins des adolescentes et leur offrir des soins multidisciplinaires dont elles pourront facilement se prevaloir tot dans le cadre de la grossesse, en tenant ainsi compte du fait que les adolescentes sollicitent souvent des soins plus tard que leurs homologues adultes. Un modele de soins permettant de repondre a tous ces besoins en un seul et meme endroit pourrait constituer le modele a privilegier pour les adolescentes enceintes. (II-1A) 2. Les fournisseurs de soins devraient etre sensibles aux besoins developpementaux particuliers des adolescentes tout au long de la grossesse, ainsi que dans le cadre des soins intrapartum et postpartum. (III-B) 3. Chez les adolescentes, la grossesse est exposee a des risques eleves et devrait faire l'objet d'une prise en charge adaptee en consequence dans le cadre de programmes disposant des capacites necessaires. Les risques physiques propres a la grossesse chez une adolescente doivent etre pris en consideration et les soins offerts doivent s'y adapter. (II-1A) 4. La participation des peres et des partenaires aux cours prenataux (soins a prodiguer a la mere et a l'enfant) devrait etre favorisee autant que possible. (III-B) 5. La tenue d'une echographie au cours du premier trimestre est recommandee non seulement aux fins de la datation adequate de la grossesse (soit la raison habituellement invoquee pour la tenue d'une telle intervention), mais egalement pour l'evaluation des risques accrus d'accouchement preterme. (I-A) 6. Des services de counseling traitant de toutes les options disponibles en ce qui concerne la grossesse (avortement, adoption et parentage) devraient etre offerts a toutes les adolescentes chez qui la presence d'une grossesse intra-uterine a ete confirmee. (III-A) 7. Un depistage visant les infections transmissibles sexuellement (II-2A) et la vaginose bacterienne (III-B) devrait etre mene systematiquement dans le cadre de la premiere consultation prenatale et, une fois de plus, au cours du troisieme trimestre; un depistage visant les infections transmissibles sexuellement devrait egalement etre mene pendant la periode postpartum et lorsque la presence de symptomes en justifie la mise en oeuvre. a. Puisque les adolescentes enceintes sont intrinsequement exposees a des risques accrus de travail preterme, d'accouchement preterme et de rupture prematuree des membranes preterme, elles constituent un << groupe expose a des risques eleves >> : le depistage et la prise en charge de la vaginose bacterienne s'averent donc recommandee. (III-B) b. A la suite d'un traitement mis en oeuvre en raison de l'obtention d'un resultat positif au depistage, la tenue d'un test de controle post-traitement s'avere requise de trois a quatre semaines a la suite de la fin du traitement. L'orientation du partenaire vers des services de depistage et de traitement s'avere egalement requise. Les fournisseurs de soins devraient profiter de l'occasion pour discuter de l'utilisation de condoms avec leurs patientes. (III-A) 8. La mise en oeuvre systematique et repetee d'un depistage de la consommation d'alcool, de la consommation de substances psychoactives et de la violence pendant la grossesse est recommandee, en raison de leurs taux accrus au sein de cette population. (II-2A) 9. La mise en oeuvre systematique et repetee d'un depistage et d'une prise en charge des troubles de l'humeur pendant la grossesse est recommandee, en raison des taux accrus de ces troubles au sein de cette population. L'administration de l'Echelle de depression postnatale d'Edimbourg a chaque trimestre et pendant la periode postpartum (et plus frequemment, lorsque cela semble necessaire) constitue une option pour la mise en oeuvre d'un tel depistage. (II-2A) 10. Les adolescentes enceintes devraient faire l'objet d'une evaluation nutritionnelle et d'une supplementation en vitamines et en aliments (au besoin), ainsi qu'obtenir acces a une strategie visant l'optimisation du gain ponderal pendant la grossesse et la baisse des risques d'anemie et de faible poids de naissance. (II-2A) 11. Des donnees contradictoires soutiennent et refutent la presence de differences en matiere d'hypertension gestationnelle au sein de la population adolescente; ainsi, nous soutenons pour l'instant l'offre, aux adolescentes enceintes, des soins qui sont habituellement offerts aux populations adultes. (II-2A) 12. Les praticiens devraient consulter les lignes directrices traitant du diabete sucre gestationnel. En theorie, le depistage de toutes les patientes s'avere approprie, et ce, bien que les taux de diabete sucre gestationnel soient generalement moindres chez les populations adolescentes. Les praticiens devraient cependant etre avises que certains groupes ethniques (dont les populations autochtones) sont exposes a des risques eleves de diabete sucre gestationnel. (II-2A) 13. La tenue d'une echographie d'evaluation anatomique a 16-20 semaines est recommandee, en raison des taux accrus d'anomalies congenitales au sein de cette population. (II-2A) 14. Tout comme dans le cas d'autres populations exposees a des risques de retard de croissance intra-uterin et de faible poids de naissance, la tenue d'une echographie visant a evaluer le bien-etre foetal et a estimer le poids foetal a un age gestationnel de 32-34 semaines est suggeree pour le depistage du retard de croissance intra-uterin. (III-A) 15. Au cours du deuxieme ou du troisieme trimestre, les consultations devraient etre plus frequentes pour traiter des risques accrus de travail et d'accouchement pretermes, et pour evaluer le bien-etre foetal. Tous les fournisseurs de soins devraient connaitre les symptomes du travail preterme et former leurs patientes de facon a ce qu'elles puissent les reconnaitre. (III-A) 16. On se doit de souligner que les adolescentes comptent des taux d'accouchement vaginal superieurs et (de facon concomitante) des taux de cesarienne inferieurs, par comparaison avec leurs homologues adultes. (II-2A) Tout comme dans le cas des soins prenataux, les soins peripartum prodigues a l'hopital devraient etre de nature multidisciplinaire, mettre en jeu le milieu social, soutenir l'allaitement et la lactation, et solliciter la participation des services de protection de l'enfance, lorsque cela s'avere justifie. (III-B) 17. Les soins postpartum devraient comprendre une composante traitant des modes de contraception (particulierement des contraceptifs reversibles a action prolongee), dans le but d'abaisser les taux eleves de nouvelle grossesse chez les adolescentes; les discussions au sujet de la contraception devraient debuter avant l'accouchement. (III-A) 18. L'allaitement devrait etre recommande et du soutien suffisant devrait etre offert a cette population exposee a des risques eleves d'abandon. (II-2A) 19. Des programmes de soins postpartum visant la hausse des connaissances parentales et des taux d'allaitement, le depistage et la prise en charge de la depression postpartum, le prolongement des intervalles entre les grossesses et la reduction des taux de grossesse non souhaitee a repetition devraient etre offerts pour soutenir les parents adolescents et leurs enfants. (III-B) 20. Au sein des collectivites autochtones, rurales, eloignees et du Nord, les adolescentes devraient beneficier du soutien necessaire a la tenue de l'accouchement le plus pres possible de leur foyer. (II-2A) 21. Les adolescentes enceintes qui doivent etre evacuees d'une collectivite eloignee devraient pouvoir se faire accompagner par un membre de la famille (ou toute autre personne de leur choix) a des fins de soutien et d'encouragement. (II-2A) 22. Des soins prenataux surs au plan culturel (y compris des mesures de soutien affectif, pedagogique et clinique aidant les parents adolescents a mener une vie leur assurant la sante) doivent etre offerts, et ce, particulierement au sein des collectivites autochtones et du Nord. (II-3A) 23. Les croyances culturelles (entourant la fausse couche et les problemes de la grossesse) et les considerations particulieres (en ce qui concerne la manipulation des restes foetaux, des tissus placentaires et du cordon ombilical) doivent etre respectees.

Fivaz-Depeursinge & A. Corboz-Warnery, ). Parents in 10 of the 19 families reported coresidence at the time of the 3-month assessment, and the other 9 sets of coparents lived apart. All participating families had taken part in a prenatal intervention emphasizing the importance of father engagement in children's lives, and in all families, parents reported episodic to regular father contact with the children at 3 months. Analyses of LTP sessions revealed that 9 of the 19 families exhibited high levels of coparenting solidarity-cooperation and family warmth accompanied by low levels of coparenting competition and disengagement. Among the remaining 10 families, competitiveness (verbal sparring, interference) and/or disengagement (repeated, episodic absenting by one or both parents from the ongoing interaction) signaled strain and challenges to solidarity. Differences between the higher and lower solidarity groups were found in father-reported relationship rapport. However, coresidentiality versus noncoresidentiality of the parents did not distinguish high- from low-solidarity groups. A case analysis of one family's triadic session is presented to elucidate the rich potential for clinical intervention in triadic work with fragile family systems. Implications of the study and its findings for theory, research, and clinical work with unmarried fathers and families, along with limits of the study design and generalizability of findings, are discussed.

AB - DESIGN: a longitudinal regional survey. Data were collected by three questionnaires. AB - SETTING: three hospitals in the middle-north part of Sweden. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 1047 expectant fathers recruited in mid-pregnancy and followed up at two months and one year after birth. AB - MEASUREMENTS: childbirth fear was assessed using the Fear of Birth Scale (FOBS). Self-rated physical and mental health and perceived difficulties were assessed in mid pregnancy. Two months after birth antenatal attendance, mode of birth and the birth experience were investigated. Parental stress was measured using the Swedish Parental Stress Questionnaire (SPSQ). Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated between expectant fathers who scored 50 and above (childbirth fear) and those that did not (no fear). AB - FINDINGS: expectant fathers with childbirth related fear (13.6%) reported poorer physical (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.2-2.8) and mental (OR 3.0; 1.8-5.1) health than their non-fearful counterparts. The fearful fathers were more likely to perceive difficulties in pregnancy (OR 2.1; 1.4-3.0), and the forthcoming birth (OR 4.3; 2.9-6.3) compared to fathers without childbirth fear. First-time fathers with fear attended fewer antenatal classes. Fathers with high fear reported higher mean scores in four of the five subscales of the SPSQ. Childbirth related fear was not associated with mode of birth or fathers' birth experience. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: expectant fathers with childbirth related fear had poorer health, viewed the pregnancy, birth and the forthcoming parenthood with more difficulties. They were less often present during antenatal classes and had higher parental stress. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: this study provides insight into the health of expectant fathers during pregnancy and highlights the importance of understanding how childbirth fear may affect expectant fathers in both the short and longer term.

AB - DESIGN: data from a randomised controlled trial of antenatal education were used for secondary analysis. Data were collected by questionnaires in mid-pregnancy and at three months after the birth. Comparisons by chi(2)-tests and Student's t-tests were made between men in three age groups: young men aged <=27 years (n=188), men of average age 28-33 years (n=389) and men of advanced age >=34 years (n=200). AB - SETTING: the expectant fathers were recruited from 15 antenatal clinics spread over Sweden. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 777 first-time fathers. AB - FINDINGS: antenatal expectations and postnatal memory of the childbirth experience varied by paternal age. In mid-pregnancy, mixed or negative feelings about the upcoming birth were more prevalent in men of advanced age (29%) compared with men of average (26%) and young (18%) age (p<0.01), and they feared the event more than the youngest (mean on the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire: advanced age 43.3; average age 42.9; young 38.7; p<0.01). The older men also assessed their partner's labour and birth as more difficult (advanced age 43%; average age 41%; young 32%; p=0.05) and had a less positive overall birth experience (advanced age 30%; average age 36%; young 43%; p<0.05). However, older fathers were more satisfied with care given during the intrapartum period: 52% were overall satisfied compared with 46% of the men of average age and 39% of young age (p=0.03). AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: men of advanced age had more fearful and negative expectations during their partner's pregnancies and postnatally assessed the births as less positive and more difficult than younger men did. Despite this, older men were more satisfied with intrapartum care. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: knowledge about age-related differences in the expectations and experiences of first-time fathers may help midwives and doctors give more individualised information and support, with special attention to older men's expectations and experiences of the birth as such, and to younger men's perception of care.

AB - BACKGROUND: Maternal parental self-efficacy is important for mothers' adaptation to motherhood. Lack of support could result in decreased maternal parental self-efficacy in newborn care. Limited studies have focused on maternal parental self-efficacy in the postpartum period in Asia and none in Singapore. AB - STUDY DESIGN: A correlational study design was adopted. AB - METHODS: Data were collected from both primiparas and multiparas during the first to third days postpartum in a public hospital, using the Perceived Maternal Parental Self-efficacy and Perinatal Infant Care Social Support Scales. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. AB - RESULTS: Maternal parental self-efficacy in newborn care and the level of social support that mothers received were moderate. In terms of the social support subscales, informational and instrumental support was lower than emotional and appraisal support. Informal support from husbands, parents and parents-in-law was the main source of support. A significant correlation was found between maternal parental self-efficacy and total social support in addition to the informational, instrumental and appraisal subscales of functional support. The predictors of maternal parental self-efficacy were parity, social support and maternal age. AB - CONCLUSION: The findings highlight the predictors and correlates of maternal parental self-efficacy in newborn care and the social support needs of mothers in the early postpartum period. Healthcare professionals could provide more information and instrumental support and involve family members to enhance maternal parental self-efficacy. AB - RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Because maternal parental self-efficacy and social support in the early postpartum period are interrelated components, they could be assessed to identify at-risk mothers. There is a need to develop perinatal educational programmes to provide culturally competent individualised support to mothers in need. AB - Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Fathers' attendance during caesarean section, both routine and emergency, remains controversial. This article draws upon research evidence professional insights and the authors' personal life experiences to contribute to the debate about the presence of fathers during caesarean births with general anaesthetic. We argue that the widespread exclusion of fathers in these circumstances may be contrary to both parents' wishes, and clinicians should consider offering women the choice of a nominated support person. Such a person can help the mother to fill in the missing pieces of the birth experience. Moreover, where this person is the baby's father, there may be additional familial benefits for his transition to parenthood. Further research is warranted into the presence of fathers during births that are clinically problematic.

The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to identify factors that partners can modify to protect each other from developing perinatal depression and anxiety. AB - METHOD: In accordance with the PRISMA statement, we reviewed the risk and protective factors associated with perinatal depression and anxiety symptoms that partners can potentially modify without professional assistance (PROSPERO reference CRD42014007524). Participants were new or expectant parents aged 16 years or older. The partner factors were sub-grouped into themes (e.g., instrumental support) based on a content analysis of the scale items and measure descriptions. A series of meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the pooled effect sizes of associations. AB - RESULTS: We included 120 publications, reporting 245 associations with depression and 44 with anxiety. Partner factors with sound evidence that they protect against both perinatal depression and anxiety are: emotional closeness and global support. Partner factors with a sound evidence base for depression only are communication, conflict, emotional and instrumental support, and relationship satisfaction. AB - LIMITATIONS: This review is limited by the lack of generalizability to single parents and the inability to systematically review moderators and mediators, or control for baseline symptoms. AB - CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that future prevention programs targeting perinatal depression and anxiety should aim to enhance relationship satisfaction, communication, and emotional closeness, facilitate instrumental and emotional support, and minimize conflict between partners.

This study identified the determinants of key suboptimal breastfeeding practices among children 0-23 months in Nigeria. AB - METHOD: Data on 10,225 children under-24 months were obtained from the 2008 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Socio-economic, health service and individual factors associated with key breastfeeding indicators (early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, predominant breastfeeding and bottle feeding) were investigated using multiple logistic regression analyses. AB - RESULTS: Among infants 0-5 months of age, 14% [95% confidence Interval (CI): 13%, 15%] were exclusively breastfed and 48% [95% CI: 46, 50%] were predominantly breastfed. Among children aged 0-23 months, 38% [95% CI 36, 39%] were breastfed within the first hour of birth, and 15% [95% CI: 14, 17%] were bottle-fed. Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with higher maternal education, frequent antenatal care (ANC) visits and birth interval but deliveries at a health facility with caesarean section was associated with delayed initiation of breastfeeding. Educated mothers, older mothers and mothers from wealthier households exclusively breastfeed their babies. The risk for bottle feeding was higher among educated mothers and fathers, and women from wealthier households including mothers who made frequent ANC visits. AB - CONCLUSION: Socio-economic and health service factors were associated with suboptimal breastfeeding practices in Nigeria. To improve the current breastfeeding practices, breastfeeding initiatives should target all mothers - particularly low SES mothers - including, national and sub-national health policies that ensure improved access to maternal health services, and improvements to baby friendly hospital and community initiatives for mothers.

This randomized controlled study examines the impact of Family Foundations (FF)-a transition to parenthood program for couples focused on promoting coparenting quality, with previously documented impact on maternal stress and depression-on ABOs. We also examine whether intervention buffers birth outcomes from the negative effect of elevated salivary cortisol levels. We use intent-to-treat analyses to assess the main effects of the FF intervention on ABOs (prematurity, birth weight, pregnancy complications, Cesarean section, and days in hospital for mothers and infants) among 148 expectant mothers. We also test the interaction of cortisol with intervention condition status in predicting ABOs. FF participation was associated with reduced risk of C-section (OR .357, p < 0.05, 95 % CI 0.149, 0.862), but did not have main effects on other ABOs. FF significantly buffered (p < 0.05) the negative impact of maternal cortisol on birth weight, gestational age, and days in hospital for infants; that is, among women with relatively higher levels of prenatal cortisol, the intervention reduced ABOs. These results demonstrate that a psycho-educational program for couples reduces incidence of ABOs among higher risk women. Future work should test whether reduced maternal stress and depression mediate these intervention effects.

Kenen, A. C. M. Smith, C. Watkins, & C. Zuber-Pitore, J. Genet Corns 9, 33-45, 2000). To further understand paternal participation, we interviewed 17 experienced prenatal genetic counselors to assess their perspectives on this issue. We investigated 6 research questions: 1) How do genetic counselors define paternal involvement, 2) how do they determine and address problematic involvement, 3) what factors influence involvement, 4) was paternal involvement addressed in training, 5) how might training be improved, and 6) how do participant strategies for addressing involvement compare to those of marriage/family therapists? Qualitative analysis revealed that 1) participants regard paternal involvement asimportant; 2) most address problematic involvement with strategies similar to those of marital/family therapists; 3) influential factors include male partner's characteristics, the couple's relationship (including culturalpractices), and pregnancy factors; and 4) participants received little or notraining on paternal involvement and recommended didactic and experientialactivities. Implications and research recommendations are presented.

Psycho-social aspects relating to couple- and parenthood have generally not been covered in Danish antenatal education, although studies suggest that parents need this information. The aim of this study was to examine perceived relevance of couple relationship topics integrated in an antenatal programme among intervention participants in the NEWBORN trial.

However, data on magnitude and specificity of maternal and paternal genome effects on fetal bone are lacking. We used an outbred bovine model to dissect and quantify effects of parental genomes, fetal sex, and nongenetic maternal effects on the fetal skeleton and analyzed phenotypic and molecular relationships between fetal muscle and bone. Analysis of 51 bone morphometric and weight parameters from 72 fetuses recovered at day 153 gestation (54% term) identified six principal components (PC1-6) that explained 80% of the variation in skeletal parameters. Parental genomes accounted for most of the variation in bone wet weight (PC1, 72.1%), limb ossification (PC2, 99.8%), flat bone size (PC4, 99.7%), and axial skeletal growth (PC5, 96.9%). Limb length showed lesser effects of parental genomes (PC3, 40.8%) and a significant nongenetic maternal effect (gestational weight gain, 29%). Fetal sex affected bone wet weight (PC1, p<0.0001) and limb length (PC3, p<0.05). Partitioning of variation explained by parental genomes revealed strong maternal genome effects on bone wet weight (74.1%, p<0.0001) and axial skeletal growth (93.5%, p<0.001), whereas paternal genome controlled limb ossification (95.1%, p<0.0001). Histomorphometric data revealed strong maternal genome effects on growth plate height (98.6%, p<0.0001) and trabecular thickness (85.5%, p<0.0001) in distal femur. Parental genome effects on fetal bone were mirrored by maternal genome effects on fetal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (96.9%, p<0.001) and paternal genome effects on alkaline phosphatase (90.0%, p<0.001) and their correlations with maternally controlled bone wet weight and paternally controlled limb ossification, respectively. Bone wet weight and flat bone size correlated positively with muscle weight (r=0.84 and 0.77, p<0.0001) and negatively with muscle H19 expression (r=-0.34 and -0.31, p<0.01). Because imprinted maternally expressed H19 regulates growth factors by miRNA interference, this suggests muscle-bone interaction via epigenetic factors.

It is established that women who have strong social support from their partner are more likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding. However, little research has explored the fathers' role in breastfeeding support and more importantly, the information and guidance he may need. In the current study, 117 men whose partner had given birth in the previous 2 years and initiated breastfeeding at birth completed an open-ended questionnaire exploring their experiences of breastfeeding, the information and support they received and their ideas for future breastfeeding education and promotion aimed at fathers and families. Overall, the findings showed that fathers were encouraging of breastfeeding and wanted to be able to support their partner. However, they often felt left out of the breastfeeding relationships and helpless to support their partner at this time. Many reported being excluded from antenatal breastfeeding education or being considered unimportant in post-natal support. Men wanted more information about breastfeeding to be directed towards them alongside ideas about how they could practically support their partner. The importance of support mechanisms for themselves during this time was also raised. The results highlight the need for health professionals to direct support and information towards fathers as well as the mother-infant dyad and to recognise their importance in promoting and enabling breastfeeding.

Women who participated in the program completed pre- and posttreatment measures of depression (Centre of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and maternal attachment (Condon Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale). Participants also completed a satisfaction questionnaire and provided general feedback about the group intervention and experience. A total of 48 women (M=26 weeks of gestation) commenced and 37 (77 %) completed at least 80 % of the six session group intervention. Significant improvements with moderate to large effect sizes were observed for depression as measured on the Centre of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) (p<0.001), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (p<0.001), state anxiety (p<0.001) and maternal attachment (p=0.006). Improvements in posttreatment depression scores on the EPDS were maintained at 2 months postpartum. Participants reported that the program had met their expectations. Partners (n=21) who completed evaluation forms indicated that their attendance had improved their awareness of their partner's mental health issues and resources available to their family and would recommend the program to other fathers. These preliminary findings suggest that our antenatal group program is an effective and acceptable intervention for a clinical sample of women and partners. It is a feasible addition or alternative treatment option to perinatal mental health care. Future directions could involve more comprehensive randomised controlled trials (RCT) to examine the effectiveness of the group intervention.

The current study was designed to examine harmful alcohol use as a dyadic and interactive time-varying risk factor for psychological and physical IPV across the transition to parenthood using a sample of 98 couples assessed prenatally and again at one and two years postpartum. Longitudinal actor-partner interdependence models demonstrated that changes in harmful alcohol use during the transition to parenthood were significantly related to changes in psychological IPV for both men and women and with physical IPV for men only, whereas harmful alcohol use was actually negatively related to variations in women's physical IPV. Partners' harmful use of alcohol during the transition to parenthood also explained additional variance in psychological IPV for men and physical IPV for women over time. Time-varying interactions between actors' and partners' harmful alcohol use were additionally predictive of greater psychological IPV for women and greater physical IPV for both men and women. Contrary to some past research, time-varying discrepancies in levels of harmful alcohol use between men and women were related to a lower risk of psychological IPV for women and physical IPV for both genders. Findings from this study indicate that harmful alcohol use by both men and women combines in a dyadic and interactive manner to place couples at risk for IPV during the transition to parenthood. Prenatal interventions may benefit from strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol by both men and women during the prenatal and postpartum periods. AB - Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

We examined whether maternal pre- and post-natal bereavement was associated with overweight and obesity in young men. AB - METHODS: A cohort study was conducted including 119,908 men born from 1976 to 1993 and examined for military service between 2006 and 2011. Among them, 4,813 conscripts were born to mothers bereaved by death of a close relative from 12 months preconception to birth of the child (exposed group). Median body mass index (BMI) and prevalence of overweight and obesity were estimated. Odds ratio of overweight (BMI>=25 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI>=30 kg/m2) were estimated by logistic regression analysis adjusted for maternal educational level. AB - RESULTS: Median BMI was similar in the exposed and the unexposed group but the prevalence of overweight (33.3% versus 30.4%, p = 0.02) and obesity (9.8% versus 8.5%, p = 0.06) was higher in the exposed group. Conscripts exposed 6 to 0 months before conception and during pregnancy had a higher risk of overweight (odds ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03; 1.27 and odds ratio 1.13, 95% CI: 1.03; 1.25, respectively). Conscripts born to mothers who experienced death of the child's biological father before child birth had a two-fold risk of obesity (odds ratio 2.00, 95% CI: 0.93; 4.31). There was no elevated risk in those who experienced maternal bereavement postnatally. AB - CONCLUSION: Maternal bereavement during the prenatal period was associated with increased risk of overweight or obesity in a group of young male conscripts, and this may possibly be reflected to severe stress exposure early in life. However, not all associations were clear, and further studies are warranted.

Circulating insulin concentrations reflect the metabolic cardiovascular risk and may trigger weight gain. We aimed at identifying parental and childhood factors which may influence fasting plasma insulin concentrations in children. AB - METHODS: The Ulm Birth Cohort study (UBCS) is a prospective birth cohort study. At baseline, birth characteristics, maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) values as well as parental socioeconomic parameters were obtained. At the 8-yr follow-up examination, weights, heights, and fasting plasma insulin concentrations in n = 422 children and their parents were measured. Offspring of women with gestational diabetes mellitus were excluded from statistical analysis. AB - RESULTS: Fasting plasma insulin concentrations of children were significantly correlated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI values (r = 0.16) as well as with maternal (r = 0.26) but not with paternal fasting plasma insulin concentrations (r = 0.11) at the 8-yr follow-up examination. The risk for high fasting plasma insulin concentrations (>=75th internal percentile) was 2.30 (1.34-3.92) in children who also had high plasma insulin concentrations in umbilical cord blood compared to children having lower plasma insulin concentrations (<75th internal percentile) in umbilical cord blood. In addition, we observed that children with high fasting plasma insulin concentrations at the age of 8 had an altered BMI trajectory in childhood, characterized by higher BMI values from the age of 1 onwards, compared to children with lower insulin concentrations. AB - CONCLUSION: Our observations support the hypothesis of perinatal programming of offspring insulin concentrations and BMI values by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI values.

Therefore, we wanted to investigate whether behavioural, metabolic or neuroendocrine abnormalities could be provoked or exacerbated by a high-fat diet (HFD) in an experimental model of IUGR. AB - METHODS: Pregnant dams were exposed to dexamethasone (DEX) in the third gestational week to induce IUGR. Late adolescent male offspring of DEX- and vehicle-treated dams were then fed a HFD or standard chow for 8 weeks and subjected to a variety of assessments. AB - RESULTS: Only diet affected the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stress response, as HFD doubled the observed corticosterone levels following acute restraint. HFD and prenatal DEX exposure concomitantly exacerbated depressive-like behaviour in the forced swim test, even though no interaction was seen. Prenatal DEX treatment tended to increase the basal acoustic startle response (ASR), while an interaction between HFD and DEX was present in the ASR pre-pulse inhibition suggestive of fundamental changes in neuronal gating mechanisms. Metabolic parameters were only affected by diet, as HFD increased fasting glucose and insulin levels. AB - CONCLUSION: We conclude that chronic HFD may be more important in programming of the HPA axis stress responsiveness than an adverse foetal environment and therefore potentially implies an increased risk for developing psychiatric and metabolic disease.

A total of 145 women were interviewed, on the third day post-partum. Women were followed up by telephone interviews at three and six months post-partum. Chi-square test and binomial sequential logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results from this study show that baby-friendly hospital, antenatal courses, mother's perception of her capability to successfully breastfeed her infant, mother's intention to breastfeed for a duration of six months or more, mother's and father's education level, introduction of complementary foods or fluids, caesarean delivery, smoking and ethnicity were significantly associated with the duration of breastfeeding. In conclusion, additional antenatal and postnatal framework is necessary. Mothers' prediction of the duration of breastfeeding is an additional tool for identification of women with a high probability for early weaning.

A study carried out to examine the socio-economic factors associated with ownership and use of treated bed nets in Cross River and Bauchi States of Nigeria took place soon after campaigns to distribute treated bed nets. AB - METHODS: A cross-sectional household survey about childhood illnesses among mothers of children less than four years of age and focus group discussions in 90 communities in each of the two states asked about household ownership of treated bed nets and their use for children under four years old. Bivariate and multivariate analyses examined associations between socio-economic and other variables and these outcomes in each state. AB - RESULTS: Some 72% of 7,685 households in Cross River and 87% of 5,535 households in Bauchi State had at least one treated bed net. In Cross River, urban households were more likely to possess bed nets, as were less-poor households (enough food in the last week), those with a male head, and those from communities with a formal health facility. In Bauchi, less-poor households and those with a more educated head were more likely to possess nets. In households with nets, only about half of children under four years old always slept under a net: 54% of 11,267 in Cross River and 57% of 11,277 in Bauchi. Factors associated with use of nets for young children in Cross River were less-poor households, fewer young children in the household, more education of the father, antenatal care of the mother, and younger age of the child, while in Bauchi the factors were a mother with more education and antenatal care, and younger age of the child. Some focus groups complained of distribution difficulties, and many described misconceptions about adverse effects of nets as an important reason for not using them. AB - CONCLUSION: Despite a recent campaign to distribute treated bed nets, disadvantaged households were less likely to possess them and to use them for young children. Efforts are needed to reach these households and to dispel fears about dangers of using treated nets.

AB - OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate the effects of an antenatal education session and postnatal support targeted to fathers. AB - METHODS: The Fathers Infant Feeding Initiative (FIFI Study) is a randomized controlled trial to increase the initiation and duration of breastfeeding that was conducted in 8 public maternity hospitals in Perth, Western Australia. A total of 699 couples were randomized within hospitals to either intervention or control groups. The intervention consisted of a 2-hour antenatal education session and postnatal support provided to fathers. AB - RESULTS: The any breastfeeding rate for the intervention group was significantly greater at 6 weeks: 81.6% in the intervention group compared to 75.2% in the control group, odds ratio 1.46 (95% CI, 1.01-2.13). After adjustment for age and hospital, the odds ratio for any breastfeeding in the intervention group was 1.58 (1.06-2.35) and for socioeconomic status (SES), 1.56 (1.06-2.30). The infants of older fathers were more likely to be breastfed at 6 weeks compared to infants of younger fathers (P < .01), and infants of fathers with high SES more likely than infants of fathers with low SES (P = .013). AB - CONCLUSION: Even a small increase in breastfeeding rates brings public health benefits. In this study, a minimal intervention was found to significantly increase any breastfeeding at 6 weeks: 81.6% in the intervention group compared to 75.2% in the control group.

Since then, there has been an increase in reproductive health initiatives that target both men and women in an attempt to fulfill the 5th Millenium Development Goal. Yet, while the benefits of male involvement have been acknowledged, there continues to be a challenge in creating a space for and engaging men in maternal health. This is problematic due to the role of men as the head of the household in many countries, especially developing countries, which suffer from higher rates of maternal mortality. Furthermore, men are important as partners, fathers and health care professionals and as such it is important to involve and engage with men in maternal health education, and antenatal care. AB - METHODS: The purpose of this study undertaken in two rural villages in southeastern Uganda, was twofold: firstly to understand men's current participation in antenatal, pregnancy care and childbirth and secondly to gain insight into both men and women's attitudes toward increased male involvement. Focus group discussions and semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect information from 35 men and women. The women were either pregnant or had been involved in a birth experience in the past 3 years and the men had wives who were pregnant or had given birth recently. AB - RESULTS: Men interviewed in the two villages believed that issues related to pregnancy and childbirth were the domain of women. Involvement tended to be confined (to removed) strictly to traditional gender roles, with men's main responsibility being provision of funds. The women, on the other hand, were interested in receiving more support from their husband through planning, attendance to antenatal care and physical presence in the vicinity of where the birth was taking place. AB - CONCLUSION: This cross-sectional study has highlighted the space for increased male involvement and participation in maternal health, proposed recommendations and the need for community health education directed at men that engages them in this important area.

The aim of this study was to examine learning and memory of rat male offsprings whose mothers had been exposed to either opium or morphine with nicotine during pregnancy. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wistar rats were used for the experiments. In the female rats, opium, morphine and nicotine dependencies were induced by daily injections of drug solution for 10 days before mating. Spatial memory was tested by Morris water maze test in male pups at the postnatal day 60. The duration that took until the rats found the platform in the maze and also their swimming speed were recorded. AB - RESULTS: An increase in the platform finding duration was observed for the pups of dependent mothers in comparison with the control in the training trial (P<0.05). Prenatal exposure to opium/morphine and nicotine significantly decreased the time spent in the trigger zone to find the hidden platform (P<0.05) but had no significant effect on the swimming speed in the probe test. However, no significant difference was observed in the learning and memory behavior of offspring whose mothers received morphine, opium, nicotine or the co-administration of either morphine or opium with nicotine. AB - CONCLUSION: The present study showed that the opium, morphine and nicotine abuse and co-administration of opium/morphine with nicotine during pregnancy may cause deficits in spatial learning of male rat offspring. Based on our data, no synergistic effects of co-drug administration were observed on learning and memory in male rat offspring.

Mothers who have physical and emotional support during this period are more likely to be successful in breastfeeding. This study examined the relationship between father involvement and support for breast feeding initiation and duration in first-time mothers. AB - METHODS: Overall, 146 women who attended a childbirth education class or breastfeeding course at BABS were asked to fill out the Childbirth Experiences Survey, which explored key topics such as (1) breastfeeding initiation, (2) early post-partum breastfeeding, (3) breastfeeding plan, (4) post-partum breastfeeding support and (5) breast feeding duration. This was a voluntary self-reported ques-tionnaire. The surveys were completed by the mothers during the post-partum period. AB - RESULTS: 45.9% (n=67) of mothers received helped from their husband or part-ner with breastfeeding while in the hospital, while 54.1% (n=79) of mothers did not receive support from their partners. Mothers who received early post-par-tum breastfeeding support were more likely to continue breastfeeding after leaving the hospital. AB - CONCLUSION: First-time mothers who identified as having breastfeeding support from their partners, the infant's father, during the early post-partum period were more likely to initiate breastfeeding and had longer breastfeeding durations.

We postulated that greater support and encouragement from the partner would be independently predictive of whether the mother would take advantage of workplace milk expression breaks and lactation rooms and continue to breastfeed after returning to work. To evaluate this hypothesis, we conducted a survey at a female labor-intensive electronics manufacturer in Taiwan. AB - SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Six hundred eight working mothers in an electronics manufacturing plant in Tainan Science Park in Southern Taiwan who had access to dedicated lactation rooms at the workplace were interviewed. Questionnaire content included female employee demographics, employment characteristics, partner-related characteristics, and breastfeeding behavior after returning to work following the birth of their most recently born child. AB - RESULTS: The partner's initial support of the choice to breastfeed and encouragement to use the lactation room and milk expression breaks and the mother's perception of the partner's support for baby care were significant predictors of the intention to continue to breastfeed after returning to work, after adjusting for the employed mother's demographics and employment characteristics, supporting our hypothesis. AB - CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that antenatal education or activities provided by the workplace should include the partner, which may improve workplace breastfeeding rates.

Although often targeted alongside other factors in perinatal home-visiting programs with vulnerable families, little impact on PND has been observed. AB - OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the impact on PND symptomatology of a multifocal perinatal home-visiting intervention using psychologists in a sample of women presenting risk factors associated with infant mental health difficulties. AB - METHODS: 440 primiparous women were recruited at their seventh month of pregnancy. All were future first-time mothers, under 26, with at least one of three additional psychosocial risk factors: low educational level, low income, or planning to raise the child without the father. The intervention consisted of intensive multifocal home visits through to the child's second birthday. The control group received care as usual. PND symptomatology was assessed at baseline and three months after birth using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). AB - RESULTS: At three months postpartum, mean (SD) EPDS scores were 9.4 (5.4) for the control group and 8.6 (5.4) for the intervention group (p = 0.18). The difference between the mean EPDS scores was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.35; 1.34). The intervention group had significantly lower EPDS scores than controls in certain subgroups: women with few depressive symptoms at inclusion (EPDS <8): difference = 1.66 (95%CI: 0.17; 3.15), p = 0.05, adjusted for baseline EPDS score), women who were planning to raise the child with the child's father: difference = 1.45 (95%CI: 0.27; 2.62), p = 0.04 (adjusted); women with a higher educational level: difference = 1.59 (95%CI: 0.50; 2.68) p = 0.05 (adjusted). AB - CONCLUSION: CAPEDP failed to demonstrate an overall impact on PND. However, post-hoc analysis reveals the intervention was effective in terms of primary prevention and in subgroups of women without certain risk factors. Effective overall reduction of PND symptomatology for young, first-time mothers presenting additional psychosocial risk factors may require more tailored interventions.

AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mice were exposed daily in utero to different static magnetic field strengths at the bore entrance or in the isocenter of 1.5 T and 7 T MRI systems during the entire course of prenatal development. AB - RESULTS: In utero-exposed male mice revealed no effect of magnetic field strength on weight of testes and epididymis or on sperm count, sperm morphology, or fertility. Exposed pregnant female mice showed no reduced fertility in terms of pregnancy rates and litter size, pointing to a normal ovarian function. However, a reduced placental weight of offspring of intrauterine exposed female mice was observed that correlated with a decrease in embryonic weight in those animals exposed at the strongest magnetic field. This effect seemed to be parent-dependent, since it was not observed in those embryos fathered by in utero-exposed male mice. AB - CONCLUSION: Repetitive in utero exposure to strong static magnetic fields does not impair fertility but may have a parental-dependent effect on fetal programming with regard to placental development and fetal growth.

By definition a child provided with prelacteal feed (PLF) is not exclusively breastfed and PLF has many implications for the success and early initiation of breastfeeding. Objectives. To describe the prevalence of, nature of, and reasons for and factors associated with PLF. AB - METHODS: 647 mother-infant dyads were studied. Data was collected about the sociodemographic features of the family and baby, maternity care, the type of first feed before suckling, and causes of PLF. Maternal weight and height were measured and body mass index was calculated. AB - RESULTS: About 58% of newborns received prelacteal feeds. The commonest PLF was sugar/glucose water (39.6%). The most frequent reasons for giving PLF are tradition (61.0%) and mother's/mother in law's advice (58.3%). The logistic regression revealed that the independent predictors of PLF are urban residence; maternal education; father's education; low, middle, and high social class; maternal obesity; receiving antenatal care at private clinics and no antenatal care; Caesarean section; female babies; low birth weight; and admission to neonatal intensive care. AB - CONCLUSION: Indiscriminate use of PLF should be discouraged in medical education and in antenatal maternal health education.

In recent years, the rate of CS has been increasing irregularly. Lack of appropriate knowledge and attitude among couples plays a major role in this regard. This study tried to compare the effects of a childbirth training workshop on knowledge, attitude, and delivery method. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study is a randomized clinical trial conducted in four stages on 180 subjects referring to Isfahan health care centers in three groups of mothers (alone), couples (mothers and their respective partners), and control. After sampling, a pre-test and intervention in the form of an educational workshop were conducted. Then, post-test was conducted immediately after, 1 month later, and in puerperium in all three groups. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 15. AB - RESULTS: The analysis showed that the knowledge mean was statically significant in mothers (P < 0.0001), couples (P < 0.0001), and control group (P < 0.0001) before and after intervention. Also, the attitude mean was statically significant in mothers (P < 0.0001), couples (P < 0.0001), and control groups (P < 0.0001) before and after intervention. Analysis of delivery method showed that in mothers, couples, and control groups, normal vaginal delivery was the most preferred method in that order, w hich was significant (P = 0.017). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Workshop education of pregnant women and their spouses was effective on encouraging them to natural delivery. Therefore, designing educational and counseling programs through collaborative methods for mothers and their spouses is suggested to reduce the rate of cesarean deliveries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate depressive symptoms and associations with paternal age, sociodemographic characteristics, and antenatal psychological well-being in Swedish first-time fathers. AB - METHODS: Depressive symptoms, defined as scores of 11 or greater on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, were investigated in 812 men 3 months after their first baby was born. The study sample included primarily Swedish-born, married or cohabiting men who participated in antenatal education classes during the partner's pregnancy. AB - RESULTS: In all, 10.3 percent of study men suffered from depressive symptoms. Compared with fathers aged 29-33 years (sample mean age +/- 2 yr), the younger fathers had an increased risk for depressive symptoms (OR 2.55; 95% CI 1.50-4.35). Low educational level, low income, poor partner relationship quality, and financial worry increased the risk for depressive symptoms, but these factors could not explain the increased risk among the young. AB - CONCLUSIONS: New fathers in their twenties seem to have an increased risk for depressive symptoms that cannot be explained solely by socioeconomic factors. Support should be offered to new fathers with particular focus on the young. AB - © 2013, Copyright the Authors Journal compilation © 2013, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We hypothesized that the lasting impact of perinatal protein deprivation on mitochondrial fuel oxidation and insulin sensitivity would depend on the time window of exposure. To improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms, an integrative approach was used, combining the assessment of insulin sensitivity and untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics in the offspring. A hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed in adult male rats born from dams fed a low-protein diet during gestation and/or lactation, and subsequently exposed to a Western diet (WD) for 10 wk. Metabolomics was combined with targeted acylcarnitine profiling and analysis of liver gene expression to identify markers of adaptation to WD that influence the phenotype outcome evaluated by body composition analysis. At adulthood, offspring of protein-restricted dams had impaired insulin secretion when fed a standard diet. Moreover, rats who demonstrated catch-up growth at weaning displayed higher gluconeogenesis and branched-chain amino acid catabolism, and lower fatty acid beta-oxidation compared with control rats. Postweaning exposure of intrauterine growth restriction-born rats to a WD exacerbated incomplete fatty acid beta-oxidation and excess fat deposition. Control offspring nursed by protein-restricted mothers showed peculiar low-fat accretion through adulthood and preserved insulin sensitivity even after WD-exposure. Altogether, our findings suggest a testable hypothesis about how maternal diet might influence metabolic outcomes (insulin sensitivity) in the next generation such as mitochondrial overload and/or substrate oxidation inflexibility dependent on the time window of perinatal dietary manipulation.

The objective was to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences of male involvement in their partners' healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth. The findings might inform interventions for increasing men's involvement in reproductive health issues. AB - METHODS: We conducted 16 in-depth interviews with men who came to the hospital to attend to their spouses/partners admitted to Mulago National Referral Hospital. All the spouses/partners had developed severe obstetric complications and were admitted in the high dependency unit. We sought to obtain detailed descriptions of men's experiences, their perception of an ideal "father" and the challenges in achieving this ideal status. We also assessed perceived strategies for increasing male participation in their partners' healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth. Data was analyzed by content analysis. AB - RESULTS: The identified themes were: Men have different descriptions of their relationships; responsibility was an obligation; ideal fathers provide support to mothers during childbirth; the health system limits male involvement in childbirth; men have no clear roles during childbirth, and exclusion and alienation in the hospital environment. The men described qualities of the ideal father as one who was available, easily reached, accessible and considerate. Most men were willing to learn about their expected roles during childbirth and were eager to support their partners/wives/spouses during this time. However, they identified personal, relationship, family and community factors as barriers to their involvement. They found the health system unwelcoming, intimidating and unsupportive. Suggestions to improve men's involvement include creating more awareness for fathers, male-targeted antenatal education and support, and changing provider attitudes. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study generates information on perceived roles, expectations, experiences and challenges faced by men who wish to be involved in maternal health issues, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth. There is discord between the policy and practice on male involvement in pregnancy and childbirth. Health system factors that are critical to promoting male involvement in women's health issues during pregnancy and childbirth need to be addressed.

This cohort study of primarily Latino families included maternal interviews at 13-14 weeks gestation about their experience of a range of adversities: father's absence, general social support, poverty level, and household density. ANS measures of heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (parasympathetic nervous system) and preejection period (sympathetic nervous system) were collected during resting and challenging conditions on children at 6 months and 1, 3.5 and 5 years of age. Reactivity measures were calculated as the mean of the responses to challenging conditions minus a resting condition. Fixed effects models were conducted for the 212 children with two or more timepoints of ANS measures. Interactions between maternal prenatal adversity levels and child age at time of ANS protocol were included in the models, allowing the calculation of separate trajectories or slopes for each level of adversity. Results showed no significant relations between mothers' prenatal socioeconomic or social support adversity and offspring's parasympathetic nervous system trajectories, but there was a statistically significant relationship between social support adversity and offspring's heart rate trajectories (p<.05) and a borderline significant relationship between socioeconomic adversity and offspring's sympathetic nervous system trajectories (p = .05). Children whose mothers experienced one, not two, social support adversity had the smallest increases in heart rate reactivity compared to children whose mothers experienced no adversity. The children whose mothers experienced no social support and no socioeconomic adversity had the largest increases in heart rate and preejection period respectively from 6 months to 5 years showing the most plasticity. Mothers' prenatal adverse experiences may program their children's physiologic trajectory to dampen their heart rate or sympathetic responsivity to challenging conditions.

Providing effective support to parents who are opioid dependent, through early intervention, access to drug treatment and parenting skills training, is a priority. However, little is known about opioid dependent parents' experiences and understanding of parenting support during the antenatal and postnatal periods. This paper focuses on the position and impact of opioid substitution therapy (OST) in the accounts of parents who were expecting, or who had recently had, a baby in the UK. AB - METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were held with a purposive sample of 19 opioid dependent service users (14 female, 5 male). Longitudinal data was collected across the antenatal and postnatal (up to 1 year) periods, with participants interviewed up to three times. Forty-five interviews were analysed thematically, using a constant comparison method, underpinned by a sociologically informed narrative approach. AB - RESULTS: Participants' accounts of drug treatment were clearly oriented towards demonstrating that they were doing 'the best thing' for their baby. For some, OST was framed as a route to what was seen as a 'normal' family life; for others, OST was a barrier to such normality. Challenges related to: the physiological effects of opioid dependence; structural constraints associated with treatment regimes; and the impact of negative societal views about drug-using parents. AB - CONCLUSION: Parents' accounts of OST can be seen as a response to socio-cultural ideals of a 'good', drug-free parent. Reflecting the liminal position parents engaged in OST found themselves in, their narratives entailed reconciling their status as a 'drug-using parent' with a view of an 'ideal parent' who was abstinent.

The mechanisms by which these distinct exposures may confer similar psychiatric vulnerability remain unclear, although likely involve pathways common to both stress and immune responses at the maternal-fetal interface. We hypothesized that maternal stress-induced activation of immune pathways within the placenta, the sex-specific maternal-fetal intermediary, may contribute to prenatal stress programming effects on the offspring. Therefore, we assessed for markers indicative of stress-induced placental inflammation, and examined the ability of maternal nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment to ameliorate placental effects and thereby rescue the stress-dysregulation phenotype observed in our established mouse model of early prenatal stress (EPS). As expected, placental gene expression analyses revealed increased levels of immune response genes, including the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1beta, specifically in male placentas. NSAID treatment partially ameliorated these EPS effects. Similarly, in adult offspring, males displayed stress-induced locomotor hyperactivity, a hallmark of dopaminergic dysregulation, which was ameliorated by maternal NSAID treatment. Fitting with these outcomes and supportive of dopamine pathway involvement, expression of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors was altered by EPS in males. These studies support an important interaction between maternal stress and a proinflammatory state in the long-term programming effects of maternal stress.

The mechanisms by which these distinct exposures may confer similar psychiatric vulnerability remain unclear, although likely involve pathways common to both stress and immune responses at the maternal-fetal interface. We hypothesized that maternal stress-induced activation of immune pathways within the placenta, the sex-specific maternal-fetal intermediary, may contribute to prenatal stress programming effects on the offspring. Therefore, we assessed for markers indicative of stress-induced placental inflammation, and examined the ability of maternal nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment to ameliorate placental effects and thereby rescue the stress-dysregulation phenotype observed in our established mouse model of early prenatal stress (EPS). As expected, placental gene expression analyses revealed increased levels of immune response genes, including the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1beta, specifically in male placentas. NSAID treatment partially ameliorated these EPS effects. Similarly, in adult offspring, males displayed stress-induced locomotor hyperactivity, a hallmark of dopaminergic dysregulation, which was ameliorated by maternal NSAID treatment. Fitting with these outcomes and supportive of dopamine pathway involvement, expression of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors was altered by EPS in males. These studies support an important interaction between maternal stress and a proinflammatory state in the long-term programming effects of maternal stress.

Uteroplacental insufficiency was induced in the WKY rat on day 18 of pregnancy (Restricted) compared to sham-operated Controls. Pups were then cross-fostered onto Control or Restricted mothers one day after birth resulting in: (Pup-on-Mother) Control-on-Control, Control-on-Restricted, Restricted-on-Control and Restricted-on-Restricted. Endocrine pancreatic morphology and markers of intrinsic beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis were assessed in male offspring at 6 months. Pancreatic and hepatic gene expression was quantified at postnatal day 7 and 6 months. Restricted pups were born 10-15% lighter than Controls and remained lighter at 6 months. Relative islet and beta-cell mass were 51-65% lower in Restricted-on-Restricted compared to Controls at 6 months. Non-fasting plasma C-reactive protein levels were also increased, suggestive of an inflammatory response. Overall, the average number of islets, small islets and proportion of beta-cells per islet correlated positively with birth weight. Intrinsic beta-cell function, estimated by insulin secretion relative to beta-cell mass, was unaffected by Restriction, suggesting that the in vivo functional deficit was attributable to reduced mass, not function. Importantly, these deficits were ameliorated when lactational nutrition was normalized in Restricted-on-Control offspring, who also showed increased pancreatic Igf1r, Pdx1 and Vegf mRNA expression at 7 days compared to Control-on-Control and Restricted-on-Restricted. This highlights lactation as a critical period for intervention following prenatal restraint, whereby deficits in endocrine pancreatic mass and associated impaired in vivo insulin secretion can be ameliorated.

This study sought to address personal, programmatic, and other risk factors for congenital syphilis (CS) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among pregnant women in Shenzhen, China. AB - METHODS: Pregnant women attending antenatal services were offered serologic tests, and those diagnosed as having syphilis were recruited from April 2007 to October 2012. In a nested case-control study for the pregnancy outcomes of syphilis-infected women, we assessed risk factors comparing infants born with CS (group II) and with any APOs (group III) to infants without CS or APOs (group I). AB - RESULTS: During the 66-month study period, we screened 279,334 pregnant women and identified 838 (0.3%; 95% confidence interval, 0.28%-0.32%) women infected with syphilis. Among infants born to syphilitic mothers, 8.2% (34/417) were diagnosed as having CS and 24.7% (103/417) were diagnosed as having APOs. Compared with group I, maternal baseline titers of nontreponemal antibodies (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.13), stage of syphilis (aOR, 21.56), length of time between the end of the first treatment to childbirth (aOR, 11.93), gestational week at treatment (aOR, 2.63), and fathers' cocaine use (aOR, 15.44) and syphilis infection status (aORpositive vs. negative, 5.84; aORunknown vs. negative, 5.55) were positively associated with CS, but prenatal care (aOR, 0.11) and complete treatment (aOR, 0.20) were negatively associated with CS. Maternal age (aOR, 1.43), marriage (aOR, 2.41), history of cocaine use (aOR, 3.79) and ectopic pregnancy (aOR, 5.91), baseline titers of nontreponemal antibodies (aOR, 1.30), stage of syphilis (aOR, 8.89), length of time between the end of the first treatment to childbirth (aOR, 2.52), gestational week at treatment (aOR, 1.78), and fathers' syphilis infection status (aORunknown vs. negative, 2.02) were also positively associated with APOs, but maternal history of syphilis (aOR, 0.44), prenatal care (aOR, 0.29), and complete treatment (aOR, 0.25) were negatively associated with APOs, AB - CONCLUSIONS: Syphilis was an important cause of pregnancy loss and infant disability, particularly among women who did not receive prenatal care or had late or inadequate treatment. These study results can inform antenatal programs on the importance of early syphilis testing and prompt and appropriate treatment. Some strategies targeted at other risk factors areas may be helpful.

The objective of this study was to describe the rate of and identify the factors associated with providing the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended infant feeding practices of minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency and minimum acceptable diet in Nepal amongst young children between 6-23 months in 2011. AB - METHODS: Data from Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2011 was used. Prevalence of minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency and minimum acceptable diet was obtained by using descriptive statistics. A Chi-square test (chi2) followed by multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determine the adjusted effect of potential factors on the outcome variables. AB - RESULTS: Of the 698 children aged 6-23 months; while 535 (76.6%) received the minimum meal frequency, only 212 (30.4%) children received the minimum dietary diversity, and 185 (26.5%) received an acceptable diet. Children of older mothers (>35 years); educated mothers and fathers; and mothers from all the development regions except the Mid-western region were more likely to have been provided with the recommended dietary diversity. Children of mothers who had attended >=4 antenatal visits and who lived in the Eastern region were more likely to provide their child with the recommended meal frequency. Children of mothers, who attended >= 4 antenatal visits, were educated and whose fathers had at least a secondary education were more likely to meet the recommended acceptable diet standards. AB - CONCLUSION: Young children aged less than two years in Nepal are at risk for not meeting the WHO recommended infant feeding standards given that only about one in three children were provided with the recommended dietary diversity and acceptable diet. This finding suggests that the majority of children are at risk of under nutrition. An appropriate mix of health education and food supplements could be a feasible option for Nepal to improve the number of children who meet the recommended infant feeding guidelines, reduce under nutrition and improve the survival rates of young children.

AB - DESIGN: A qualitative descriptive design was employed. A self-selected sample of 22 Swedish fathers who had experienced an elective or emergency caesarean section agreed to participate. Men were interviewed by telephone seven to 16 months after the birth of their baby. Thematic analysis and the techniques of constant comparison were used to analyse the data. AB - FINDINGS: Men were generally worried about the health and well-being of their baby and partner regardless of birth mode. As the reality of the caesarean section approached men's anxiety escalated and remained high during the procedure. The rapid nature of surgical birth was therefore considered as an advantage; once the baby was born and cried men's fear dissipated. Four factors were identified that mediated the men's experience. Men's perceptions of control, preparedness and how the health-care team behaved and interacted with them were integral to their experience. Knowing the date and time of birth also mediated the experience by providing a sense of certainty to men's experiences of the caesarean birth. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: Caesarean section was considered as a routine and safe procedure that offered most fathers a sense of certainty, control and safety lessening their sense of responsibility over ensuring a healthy baby. The communication patterns of staff played a key role in ensuring a positive caesarean birth experience. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Ensuring that men have a positive birth experience, regardless of birth mode, is important for family functioning. However the findings also lend insight into how men may reframe caesarean birth as normal and safe. This may have implications for decision making around birth mode in a subsequent pregnancy further impacting on rising repeat caesarean section rates. Health-care professionals need to provide balanced information about the risks associated with caesarean birth. Any potential benefits need to be contextualised to the pregnant woman's own individual situation. Where possible, and appropriate, professional discourses should support vaginal birth as the safest option for a woman and her baby. AB - Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

These congenital conditions and their outcomes represent the most important burden of disease affecting the health status and the quality of life during infancy, childhood and beyond. In many cases they are fostered by the presence of maternal and/or paternal preconception risk factors whose effects can be modified by primary prevention.In the contemporary vision of maternal and child health, the traditional gap between preconception period and pregnancy is overcome through promotion of reproductive health and wellness in women, men and couples, regardless of their reproductive plans and possible future pregnancies. This paradigm should become the basic foundation to improve and protect infants', children's and adolescents' health. Useful interventions belong to four broad areas: a) promotion of women's and couples' health in general, and protection from risk of adverse events in future pregnancies (if any); b) identification and treatment of conditions that increase the risk of adverse reproductive outcomes; c) help for women (couples) planning for pregnancy; d) identification of genetic risks, and help for independent and responsible decision making.Pediatricians and neonatologists can effectively promote primary prevention in the interconception period, when parents seek consultation for their previous child, in adolescent medicine, in family health education, in socio-sanitary network, and in advocacy activities in favor of infants and children. These actions should be part of an operational framework including perinatal outreach programs, information campaigns, and focus on problems of high-risk women, children and families.

The Intervention Mapping (IM) framework incorporates theory into intervention design, implementation and evaluation, and was applied to the development of a community-based childhood obesity prevention intervention for a multi-ethnic population. AB - METHODS: IM was applied as follows: 1) Needs assessment of the community and culture; consideration of evidence-base, policy and practice; 2) Identification of desired outcomes and change objectives following identification of barriers to behaviour change mapped alongside psychological determinants (e.g. knowledge, self-efficacy, intention); 3) Selection of theory-based methods and practical applications to address barriers to behaviour change (e.g., strategies for responsive feeding); 4) Design of the intervention by developing evidence-based interactive activities and resources (e.g., visual aids to show babies stomach size). The activities were integrated into an existing parenting programme; 5) Adoption and implementation: parenting practitioners were trained by healthcare professionals to deliver the programme within Children Centres. AB - RESULTS: HAPPY (Healthy and Active Parenting Programme for Early Years) is aimed at overweight and obese pregnant women (BMI>25); consists of 12 x 2.5 hr. sessions (6 ante-natal from 24 weeks; 6 postnatal up to 9 months); it addresses mother's diet and physical activity, breast or bottle feeding, infant diet and parental feeding practices, and infant physical activity. AB - CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated that IM is a feasible and helpful method for providing an evidence based and theoretical structure to a complex health behaviour change intervention. The next stage will be to assess the impact of the intervention on behaviour change and clinical factors associated with childhood obesity. The HAPPY programme is currently being tested as part of a randomised controlled feasibility trial.

The results revealed that in contrast to the control group, women who had attended classes were of higher socioeconomic status, were more likely to have the child's father present at birth, felt more prepared for the birth, and were somewhat more positive to the idea that women should have a choice between home birth and hospital birth However, there were no differences between the groups regarding the frequency of interventions in labour, the length of the labour, the pain experienced and their feelings of satisfaction. Thus, no substantial effect of childbirth education was evident in the management and experiences of the birth. AB - Copyright © 1982 Australian Physiotherapy Association. Published by .

It extends to males our previous findings, in females, that maternal care can alter behavioral dimorphism that becomes evident in the neonates when they mature. Experiment 1 compares the maternal behavior of foster mothers toward cross-fostered pups versus mothers rearing their own litters. Experiment 2 ascertains the induced "maternal" behavior of the male pups, derived from Experiment 1 when they reached maturity. The most striking effect was that the males non-exposed to the stress as fetuses and raised by stressed foster mothers showed the highest levels of "maternal" behavior of all the groups (i.e., induction of maternal behavior and retrieving behavior), not differing from the control, unstressed, female groups. Furthermore, those males showed significantly fewer olfactory bulb mitral cells than the control males that were non-stressed as fetuses and raised by their own non-stressed mothers. They also presented the lowest levels of plasma testosterone of all the male groups. The present findings provide evidence that prenatal environmental stress can "demasculinize" the behavior, brain anatomy and hormone secretion in the male fetuses expressed when they reach maturity. Moreover, the nature of the maternal care received by neonates can affect the behavior and physiology that they express at maturity. AB - Copyright © 2013.

Traditional health education and promotion to improve maternal, infant, and child health in the United States has focused only on women, leaving men out of important health messages that may affect pregnancy outcomes as well as family well-being. Recently, public health scholars have suggested that men be included in prenatal health education in an effort to improve birth outcomes and reduce infant mortality. Incorporating men in prenatal health promotion and education has been found to improve overall birth preparedness, reduce the risk of maternal-infant HIV transmission, and reduce perinatal mortality in less-developed nations. Although these results are positive, research on paternal impact in pregnancy outcomes in the United States to date is lacking. This article proposes a U.S.-specific research agenda to understand the current role of men in pregnancy health, as well as actual involvement, barriers, and the influence men can have in prenatal health. A discussion of culture, individual motivations, health care providers, and social marketing is also considered.

AB - BACKGROUND: Most of the research on male involvement in birth and child-rearing comes from Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries. These studies show a lower involvement of men in relation to women, even in countries with instruments to promote gender shared responsibility. The Spanish Ministry of Health has developed strategies to improve the male involvement in the public services of perinatal health to advance in gender equality. This is a suitable context to contribute to the lack of information about fatherhood and the gender inequalities in the Spanish context. AB - DESIGN: Transversal design. AB - METHODS: A questionnaire was administered to 150 fathers and 157 mothers residing in Granada, with at least one biological child aged 2 months to 3 years. AB - RESULTS: A minority of the men attended the childbirth education whereas most of them attended pregnancy check-ups and were present at birth. Women spent more time with their children and took charge of tasks of child-rearing to a larger extent. The profile of an involved father is a man with a higher level of education, not married, his partner has a full-time employment, born in Spain and attended to the childbirth education classes. AB - CONCLUSION: This study shows gender inequalities in the reproductive field beyond the biological conditions. AB - RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The challenge of the health services is to promote social change and identify areas for improvement to include the father figure in public services of perinatal health.

AB - METHODS: AB - PARTICIPANTS: 2350 Danish pregnant women and their partners >=18 years old, recruited before 20+0 gestational weeks. Population-based individually randomised superiority trial with two parallel arms: Four sessions of birth and parent preparation in small groups (experimental group); two lectures in an auditorium (control group). Data is collected by (1) questionnaires at baseline (=18 weeks of gestation), 37 weeks of gestation, 9 weeks-, 6 months-, and 1 year post-partum, (2) the hospital obstetric database, (3) national registers. AB - PRIMARY OUTCOME: use of epidural analgesia. AB - SECONDARY OUTCOMES: stress, parenting alliance; explorative outcomes: depressive symptoms, use of health care services, self-efficacy, well-being, family break-ups. Analyses will be intention-to-treat as well as per protocol. Process evaluation will be conducted using questionnaires and qualitative interviews. The incremental societal cost of the intervention will be computed and compared to the measured outcomes in a cost-effectiveness analysis. AB - CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge this is the largest well-designed randomised trial of its kind to date. The trial will bring much-needed evidence for decision makers of the content and form of antenatal education. AB - Copyright © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The participants were 3842 parents of children between 3 and 10 years old, attending public preschools and primary schools, from a stratified random sample of Portuguese parents. Parents completed a parental concerns' scale that comprises five subscales: family and school problems; eating, sleep and physical complaints; preparation; fears; and negative behaviours. The results reported that 93.4 per cent of parents expressed some concern about the issues presented in the scale. Comparative analysis reported significant differences between mothers and fathers; child's gender; child's schooling level; mothers' and fathers' level of education, age at childbirth, marital status, and employment status. These results may indicate that parental concerns are an expected aspect of parenting, and that they should be addressed in family practice. Moreover, the reported differences between groups pointed to the need to develop specific intervention strategies.

However, consumers are rarely involved in decisions about what evidence is actually required and this may result in a mismatch between research undertaken and issues of importance to those who use the health services. This may be particularly evident in maternity care where disease focused research funding priorities may not address aspects of care which are important to the majority of women. Working with service users to generate possible future research questions may facilitate more women centred research. AB - AIM: AB - METHOD: the project used a three stage participatory approach in a diverse sample of localities across Scotland. Twelve pre-existing, community-based groups of maternity service users participated with between 8 and 20 mothers in each. Each group met twice. At the first meeting group discussion identified topics and questions. A rapid literature review of each topic was conducted and used to develop a document summarising evidence to facilitate discussion at the second meeting. The group then prioritised topic areas and questions using a modified Nominal Group Technique. AB - FINDINGS: analysis identified key topics and questions which were raised and prioritised by a number of the groups; a 'top ten' list of priority topics was readily identified, these included aspects of postnatal care, antenatal care, communication and information giving and risk. Approximately 200 individual questions were asked by women, for example: What is the impact of a bad birth experience on postnatal physical and psychological health? What is the best way of providing antenatal classes/preparation classes? What is the effect of women feeling not listened to in labour? How can fathers be given effective preparation for coping with labour and birth and supporting their partner? AB - DISCUSSION: this project demonstrates that women are well able to articulate researchable questions when given the opportunity and support to do so. Although a wide range of topics and questions were identified there were remarkable areas of consensus and clear areas of priority for women, these should be used to inform development of women centred research.

Moreover, although health information-seeking is a maternal behavior related to improved health outcomes, little is known about the health information-seeking behaviors and information needs of low-income pregnant women. The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the information needs, information-seeking behaviors, and perceived informational support of low-income pregnant women. Accordingly, the study recruited 63 expectant women enrolled in a subsidized prenatal care program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during two time periods: March-May 2011 and October-December 2011. Results indicated that participants relied heavily upon interpersonal sources of information, especially family and the father of the baby; rarely used the Internet for health-related information; and desired information beyond infant and maternal health, such as finding jobs and accessing community/government resources. Participants who used family members as primary sources of information also had significantly increased levels of perceived informational support and reduced uncertainty about pregnancy. Our findings have implications for the dissemination of pregnancy-related health information among low-income expectant women.

AB - METHOD: The intervention was carried out during the last class of a public health prenatal education series. A total of 31 first-time expectant parents participated and included both women (N = 16) and men (N = 15; mean, 29 years). The intervention was an in-person session on the topics of a safe sleeping environment, shaken baby syndrome, physical punishment risks and positive parenting, and expected development and safety. Participants completed the Infant Safety Education Project Questionnaire after the intervention. AB - RESULTS: Overall, most participants in this study found the content useful, planned to use it in caring for their infant, and indicated that this information should be shared with all expectant parents. AB - DISCUSSION: Findings support a larger scale study to determine parent education needs of expectant parents and the development, implementation, and evaluation of programming. Pediatric nurse practitioners and other primary care practitioners should be aware of the education needs of expectant parents and be prepared to provide anticipatory guidance and resources as appropriate.

Fathers have also become the primary source of informal support for most mothers and it is now customary for fathers to attend antenatal education in this supporting role. However, many fathers remain unprepared for their personal transition to parenthood and this has important implications for all of the family. Antenatal education is likely to be more effective for fathers when it addresses fathers' needs but the literature is unclear about what fathers need to know. This paper presents evidence-based recommendations for core subject matter to be addressed when preparing men for the important challenges of new fatherhood. AB - Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Maternal asthma and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) are two of the best-known triggers for the perinatal programming of asthma, while the potential role of maternal diabetes has not been widely studied. AB - OBJECTIVE: To determine if maternal diabetes is associated with child asthma, and if so, whether it modifies the effects of ETS exposure and maternal asthma. AB - METHODS: We studied 3,574 Canadian children, aged 7-8 years, enrolled in a population-based birth cohort. Standardized questionnaires were completed by the children's parents, and data were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression. AB - RESULTS: Asthma was reported in 442 children (12.4%). Compared to those without asthma, asthmatic children were more likely to have mothers (P=0.003), but not fathers (P=0.89), with diabetes. Among children without maternal history of diabetes, the likelihood of child asthma was 1.4-fold higher in those exposed to ETS (adjusted odds ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.73), and 3.6-fold higher in those with maternal asthma (3.59; 2.71-4.76). Among children born to diabetic mothers, these risks were amplified to 5.7-fold (5.68; 1.18-27.37) and 11.3-fold (11.30; 2.26-56.38), respectively. In the absence of maternal asthma or ETS, maternal diabetes was not associated with child asthma (0.65, 0.16-2.56). AB - CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that maternal diabetes may contribute to the perinatal programming of child asthma by amplifying the detrimental effects of ETS exposure and maternal asthma.

AB - DESIGN: an explorative research strategy with in-depth interviews and an analysis informed by grounded theory principles was used. AB - SETTING: the northern part of Sweden. AB - PARTICIPANTS: twenty men/becoming fathers in their twenties and early thirties were offered CT and HIV testing and were interviewed about their perceptions about being tested during pregnancy. AB - FINDINGS: Six categories emerged that concerned the men's risk perceptions, reasons for not testing men, benefits and negative consequences associated with being tested, incentive measures for reaching men and the optional time for testing men during pregnancy. The majority of the men perceived their own risk for having CT or HIV to be close to zero, trusted their stable partner, and did not see men as transmitters. They did not understand how men could play a role in CT or HIV transmission or how these infections could negatively affect the child. However, few informants could see any logical reasons for excluding men from testing and the majority was positive towards screening men during the pregnancy. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: men's sexual health and behaviour on social and biological grounds will affect the health of women and their children during pregnancy and childbirth. As long as expectant fathers do not count in this 'triad', there is a risk that CT and HIV infections in adults and infants will continue to be an unsolved problem. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: knowledge from this research can contribute to influencing the attitudes among health-care providers positively, and inspiring policy changes.

Data were collected by means of a questionnaire given to 69 male partners in North London. In total, 49 male partners preferred to attend the same class with their partners even if all male forums were offered. The gender of the educator had no influence on their participation. Comments from 23 participants from three different ethnic minority groups indicated that they preferred to have a separate class from their partners.

We hypothesized that offspring that were intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) because of prenatal hypoxia would exhibit altered vascular endothelin-1 (ET-1) signaling in later life. Isolated mesenteric artery responses to big ET-1 (bET-1) and ET-1 were assessed by using wire myography. Male IUGR offspring had 3-fold greater bET-1-induced vasoconstriction compared with controls (n=7 per group; P<0.001); NO synthase inhibition with L-N(G)-nitro-arginine-methyl ester potentiated bET-1-induced vasoconstriction, albeit this effect was 2-fold greater (P<0.05) in male control compared with IUGR offspring. Vascular responses to bET-1 were similar between female IUGR and control offspring (n=9-11 per group). In the presence of L-N(G)-nitro-arginine-methyl ester, pretreatment with the chymase inhibitor chymostatin, the gelatinase inhibitor GM6001, or the neutral endopeptidase inhibitor thiorphan did not alter responses to bET-1; however, the ET-converting enzyme inhibitor CGS35066 almost completely abolished vascular responses to bET-1 in control and IUGR groups. Systolic blood pressure in IUGR male offspring was more responsive to ET-1 antagonism in vivo compared with controls (-9 versus -4 mm Hg; n=5 per group; P=0.02); no such differences were observed in female offspring (n=5-6 per group). These results demonstrate that vascular ET-1 function is programmed by prenatal hypoxia and provide further insights into the sex differences in the long-term vascular effects of developmental stressors.

Several studies have suggested that male partners' positive experiences at this time may benefit partner and family relationships subsequently, whereas negative experiences may translate into later difficulties in these relationships. This study explored the perceptions of male partners involved in the birthing experience in the Integrated Women's Health Unit of Cairns Base Hospital, Cairns, Australia, over a 6-month period in 2010. The aims of the study were to document male partners' self-reported perceptions of their antenatal, labor, and birth experiences and birth expectations and birth involvement and to determine whether these perceptions influenced their feelings that their presence during birth was beneficial to the birthing woman. AB - METHODS: Participants were men experiencing for the first time their partner giving birth. A self-administered 14-item questionnaire was used to collect data; 163 of 200 eligible participants returned completed questionnaires. Continuous variables were converted to categorical variables and chi-square testing was used to determine significant differences between groups. The relationship between beneficial presence and antenatal, labor, and birthing experiences was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. AB - RESULTS: There was a significant relationship demonstrated between perceived benefit of the partners' presence and positive perception of both antenatal experience and birth involvement. There also was a positive relationship between realized birth expectations and both antenatal experience and birth involvement. AB - DISCUSSION: This study suggests that male partners' perceptions of beneficial presence during the birth experience can be enhanced by their feeling well informed and supported during the antenatal period and feeling involved and supported by staff during birth. These findings have implications for the provision of information and support to male partners by midwives and childbirth educators and provide the basis for further research in this area.

Here we tested 2 separate hypotheses: 1) a postnatal high-fat diet exacerbates the glucocorticoid-programmed phenotype; and 2) postnatal, dietary n-3 fatty acids rescue programmed outcomes, even in the presence of a high-fat diet challenge. Pregnant Wistar rat dams were either untreated or administered dexamethasone acetate (Dex; 0.5 mug/mL drinking water) from day 13 of pregnancy. Offspring were cross-fostered to untreated mothers and males were weaned onto a standard (Std), high-fat, low n-3 (HF), or high-fat, high n-3 (HFHn-3) diet. Prenatal Dex reduced birth weight (26%) and delayed puberty onset by 1.2 days, irrespective of postnatal diet. Prenatal Dex programmed increased blood pressure in adult offspring, an effect worsened by the postnatal HF diet. Supplementation with high n-3 fatty acids, however, prevented both the Dex and HF-induced increases in blood pressure. Prenatal Dex also programmed increased adiposity, plasma cholesterol, and plasma triglyceride levels at 6 months of age, particularly in those offspring raised on the HF diet. But again, each of these adverse outcomes was rescued by supplementation of the HF diet with n-3 fatty acids. In conclusion, the capacity of n-3 fatty acids to overcome adverse programming outcomes remains evident, even in the presence of a HF diet challenge.

We conducted a randomized trial of the efficacy of COC on partner HIV testing in low/medium HIV prevalence settings (Cameroon, Dominican Republic, Georgia, India). AB - METHODS: Pregnant women were randomized to receive standard posttest HIV counselling or COC and followed until 6 months postpartum. Partner HIV testing events were notified by site laboratories, self-reported by women or both combined. Impact of COC on partner HIV testing was measured in intention-to-treat analysis. Socio-behavioural factors associated with partner HIV testing were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. AB - RESULTS: Among 1943 pregnant women enrolled, partner HIV testing rates (combined indicator) were 24.7% among women from COC group versus 14.3% in standard posttest HIV counselling group in Cameroon [odds ratio (OR) = 2.0 95% CI (1.2-3.1)], 23.1 versus 20.3% in Dominican Republic [OR = 1.2 (0.8-1.8)], 26.8 versus 1.2% in Georgia [OR = 29.6 (9.1-95.6)] and 35.4 versus 26.6% in India [OR = 1.5 (1.0-2.2)]. Women having received COC did not report more conjugal violence or union break-ups than in the standard posttest HIV counselling group. The main factors associated with partner HIV testing were a history of HIV testing among men in Cameroon, Dominican Republic and Georgia and the existence of couple communication around HIV testing in Georgia and India. AB - CONCLUSION: A simple prenatal intervention taking into account the couple relationship increases the uptake of HIV testing among men in different socio-cultural settings. COC could contribute to the efforts towards eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

However, most antenatal care interventions have been conducted in private specialist services in high-income countries and do not address the structural and cultural realities of developing country settings. We report on an exploratory qualitative study conducted in antenatal public health facilities in Harare, Zimbabwe, involving six in-depth interviews with midwives and seven FGDs with 64 pregnant and postpartum women. Recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic content analysis. We found that identifying and responding to IPV in antenatal care is hampered by inadequate human, financial and infrastructural resources as well as poor support of gender-based violence training for midwives. Midwives had divergent views of their role, with some perceiving IPV as a non-clinical, social and domestic problem that does not require their attention, while others who had been sensitised to the problem felt that it could easily overwhelm them. A comprehensive response to IPV by midwives would be difficult to achieve in this setting but sensitised midwives could respond to cues to violence and ultimately assist abused women in culturally sensitive and appropriate ways.

Identified fears include harm to the mother or newborn, partner pain, feelings of helplessness, lack of knowledge, and fear of high-risk intervention. Fathers often report that childbirth classes are not helpful and, in some cases, even increase their fears. Some fathers view birth as traumatic, changing their perception of and relationship with their partner. Fathers also voice the need for more information and for reassurance that they are doing the right things for their partner during childbirth. This article summarizes the research findings on paternal childbirth fears and recommends topics for future study.

These antibodies will cross the placenta and can cause thrombocytopenia of the unborn. One severe consequence of thrombocytopenia is intracranial bleeding which may lead to death or severe sequelae. FNAIT index cases in one family are usually detected at birth only since antenatal screening programmes have not been installed so far. Subsequent pregnancies of immunized mothers may require special diagnostic and prophylactic interventions, and interdisciplinary counselling and treatment involving obstetricians, pediatricians and immunohematologists may prove useful for optimized care. This short review covers pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic, and therapeutic options in FNAIT. AB - Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB - DESIGN: Prospective survey. AB - SETTING: Saskatoon, Sask. AB - PARTICIPANTS: A total of 230 participants attending prenatal classes in the Saskatoon Health Region over a 3-month period. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Parents' plans to pursue circumcision, personal and family circumcision status, and factors influencing parents' decision making on the subject of elective circumcision. AB - RESULTS: The reasons that parents most often gave for supporting male circumcision were hygiene (61.9%), prevention of infection or cancer (44.8%), and the father being circumcised (40.9%). The reasons most commonly reported by parents for not supporting circumcision were it not being medically necessary (32.0%), the father being uncircumcised (18.8%), and concerns about bleeding or infection (15.5%). Of all parents responding who were expecting children, 56.4% indicated they would consider pursuing elective circumcision if they had a son; 24.3% said they would not. In instances in which the father of the expected baby was circumcised, 81.9% of respondents were in favour of pursuing elective circumcision. When the father of the expected child was not circumcised, 14.9% were in favour of pursuing elective circumcision. Regression analysis showed that the relationship between the circumcision status of the father and support of elective circumcision was statistically significant (P < .001). Among couples in which the father was circumcised, 82.2% stated that circumcision by an experienced medical practitioner was a safe procedure for all boys, in contrast to 64.1% of couples in which the father of the expected child was not circumcised. When the expecting father was circumcised, no one responded that circumcision was an unsafe procedure, compared with 7.8% when the expecting father was not circumcised (P = .003).

SLOS is caused by mutations in the DELTA7sterol-reductase gene (DHCR7), which disrupt cholesterol biosynthesis. Phenotypic variability of the disease is already known to be associated with maternal apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype. The aim of this study was to detect additional modifiers of the SLOS phenotype. We examined the association of SLOS severity with variants in the genes for ApoC-III, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, cholesteryl-ester transfer protein, ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase. Our study group included 59 SLOS patients, their mothers, and 49 of their fathers. In addition, we investigated whether ApoE and ABCA1 genotypes are associated with the viability of severe SLOS cases (n=21) caused by two null mutations in the DHCR7 gene. Maternal ABCA1 genotypes show a highly significant correlation with clinical severity in SLOS patients (P=0.007). The rare maternal p.1587Lys allele in the ABCA1 gene was associated with milder phenotypes. ANOVA analysis demonstrated an association of maternal ABCA1 genotypes with severity scores (logarithmised) of SLOS patients of P=0.004. Maternal ABCA1 explains 15.4% (R2) of severity of SLOS patients. There was no association between maternal ApoE genotype and survival of the SLOS fetus carrying two null mutations. Regarding ABCA1 p.Arg1587Lys in mothers of latter SLOS cases, a significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was observed (P=0.005). ABCA1 is an additional genetic modifier in SLOS. Modifying placental cholesterol transfer pathways may be an approach for prenatal therapy of SLOS.

AB - DESIGN: Data from a randomized controlled multicenter trial on antenatal education. AB - SETTING: 15 antenatal clinics in Sweden between January 2006 and May 2007. AB - SAMPLE: 762 men, of whom 83 (10.9%) suffered from fear of childbirth. Of these 83 men, 39 were randomized to psychoprophylaxis childbirth preparation where men were trained to coach their partners during labor and 44 to standard care antenatal preparation for childbirth and parenthood without such training. AB - METHODS: Experience of childbirth was compared between men with and without fear of childbirth regardless of randomization, and between fearful men in the randomized groups. Analyses by logistic regression adjusted for sociodemographic variables. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported data on experience of childbirth including an adapted version of the Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ B). AB - RESULTS: Men with antenatal fear of childbirth more often experienced childbirth as frightening than men without fear: adjusted odds ratio 4.68, 95% confidence interval 2.67-8.20. Men with antenatal fear in the psychoprophylaxis group rated childbirth as frightening less often than those in standard care: adjusted odds ratio 0.30, 95% confidence interval 0.10-0.95. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Men who suffer from antenatal fear of childbirth are at higher risk of experiencing childbirth as frightening. Childbirth preparation including training as a coach may help fearful men to a more positive childbirth experience. Additional studies are needed to support this conclusion.

AB - AIM: To compare antenatal care in Australia and Sweden, to identify deficiencies in the content of antenatal care and what aspects contributed most in dissatisfaction with antenatal care. AB - METHODS: A longitudinal survey of 123 Australian and 386 Swedish women recruited during one year in regional hospitals in Sweden and Australia. Data collected by three questionnaires. AB - RESULTS: Women in Australia had more antenatal visits, less continuity of midwife caregiver but were more satisfied with antenatal education and the emotional aspects of antenatal care. Although the overall satisfaction was high, deficiencies were found in more than half of the studied variables in the content of care. Women in Sweden were more dissatisfied with information about labour and birth (OR 3.1; 1.8-5.3) and information about the time following birth (OR 3.8; 2.2-6.3), but more satisfied with the involvement of the father (OR 0.3; 0.2-0.6). Factors that contributed most to dissatisfaction with antenatal care overall were deficiency in information about pregnancy related issues (OR 3.4; 1.3-8.7) and not being taken seriously by the midwife (OR 4.1; 1.6-10.1). AB - CONCLUSION: Satisfaction with antenatal care was high in both groups of women. Australian women were more satisfied than the Swedish women with the emotional aspects of care. Deficiencies were found in more than half of the variables measured relating to the specific aspects of care. Lack of information and not being treated seriously were important factors for not being satisfied. AB - Copyright © 2012 Australian College of Midwives. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This study evaluates the efficacy of a specific pain management program, the Bonapace Method (BM), to reduce the perception of pain during childbirth. The BM involves the father, or a significant partner, in the use of several pain control techniques based on three neurophysiological pain modulation models: (1) controlling the central nervous system through breathing, relaxation, and cognitive structuring; (2) using non-painful stimuli as described in the Gate Control Theory; and (3) recruiting descending inhibition by hyperstimulation of acupressure trigger points. AB - METHODS: A multicenter case control study in Quebec on pain perception during labor and delivery compared traditional childbirth training programs (TCTPs) and the BM. Visual analog scales were used to measure pain perception during labor. In all, 25 women (TCTP: n = 12; BM: n = 13) successfully reported their perceptions of pain intensity and unpleasantness every 15 minutes. AB - RESULTS: A POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE PROGRESSION OF LABOR AND PAIN WAS FOUND (PAIN INTENSITY: P < 0.01; pain unpleasantness: P < 0.01). When compared to TCTP, the BM showed an overall significant lower pain perception for both intensity (45%; P < 0.01) and unpleasantness (46%; P < 0.01). AB - CONCLUSION: These significant differences in pain perception between TCTP and the BM suggest that the emphasis on pain modulation models and techniques during labor combined with the active participation of a partner in BM are important variables to be added to the traditional childbirth training programs for childbirth pain management.

A protocol for genetic counseling, presymptomatic testing, and prenatal diagnosis of hereditary ataxias has been under development since 2001. Considering that the revision of the experience with prenatal diagnosis for SCA2 in Cuba would enable comparison of ours with international findings, we designed a descriptive study, based on the retrospective revision of the medical records belonging to the 58 couples that requested their inclusion in the program, during an 11-year period (2001-2011). Most of the participants in the prenatal diagnosis program were known presymptomatic carriers, diagnosed through the presymptomatic testing in the same period of study, for an uptake among them of 22.87 % (51 out of 223). In 28 cases, the fetuses were carriers, 20 of these couples (71.43 %) decided to terminate the pregnancy; the rest continued the pregnancy to term, this resulting in a predictive test for their unborn children. A predominance of females as the at-risk progenitor was observed. Except for a slightly lower average age, the results attained in the Cuban SCA2 prenatal diagnosis program resulted similar to the ones reported for Huntington disease in other countries. It is necessary to have easy access to the Cuban program through its expansion to other genetic centers along the island. Future research is needed to evaluate the long-term impact of both the predictive testing in unborn children and the selection of other reproductive options by the at-risk couples.

AB - BACKGROUND: High levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety are common in pregnant women, and their partners are likely to suffer from a higher degree of these symptoms than those of non-distressed women. Maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms influence the development of the foetus and child negatively. Distress-reducing interventions for couples are scarce. AB - DESIGN: The design was a pre- and post-test single group quasi-experiment. AB - METHODS: All women distressed during the last two trimesters of pregnancy were referred by midwives to a family nursing home-visiting service in a primary care setting in Iceland. They were invited to participate in the study from November 2007-September 2009. The final sample was 39 couples. Assessment of distress was through self-reporting of depressive symptoms and anxiety, self-esteem, and dyadic adjustment. The couple received four home visits that were guided by the Calgary Family Nursing Model. AB - RESULTS: Women experienced a higher degree of distress than men before the intervention. Couple's distress was interrelated, and improvement was significant on all indicators after the intervention. AB - CONCLUSION: Healthcare professionals who care for distressed expectant women should attend to their partners' mental health status. The Calgary Family Nursing Model is an appropriate guide for nursing care of distressed prospective couples in a primary care setting. AB - Copyright © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

This study seeks to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence against women during pregnancy and its associated mental health symptoms. AB - DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey conducted from December 2011 to April 2012. AB - SETTING: Muhimbili National Hospital antenatal clinic in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. AB - SAMPLE: 1180 pregnant antenatal care patients. AB - METHODS: Trained interviewers conducted face-to-face standardised interviews with the women in a private room prior to their antenatal care appointment. (PTSD), anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed through the Conflict Tactics Scale, the John Hopkins Symptom Checklist (25) and the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Conflict Tactics Scale, the John Hopkins Symptom Checklist (25) and the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale. AB - RESULTS: Of the 1180 women who were interviewed, 27% reported experiencing both physical and sexual intimate partner violence in the index pregnancy, with 18% reporting physical violence and 20% reporting sexual violence. After adjusting for the sociodemographic characteristics of women, women who experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence during pregnancy were significantly more likely to have moderate PTSD (AOR 2.94, 95% CI 1.71-5.06), anxiety (AOR 3.98, 95% CI 2.85-5.57) and depressive (AOR 3.31, 95% CI 2.39-4.593) symptoms than women who did not report physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence during pregnancy. AB - CONCLUSIONS: About three out of ten women experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence during pregnancy by an intimate partner, which was significantly associated with poor mental health symptoms. These rates are alarming, and justify training and education of antenatal care providers to raise awareness.

The likelihood of PMTCT success may be linked to partner support, yet male involvement in antenatal care remains low. This qualitative study examined the influence of pregnant couples' expectations, experiences and perceptions on sexual communication and male involvement in PMTCT. A total of 119 couples participated in a comprehensive intervention in 12 antenatal clinics throughout South Africa. Data were collected between December 2010 to June 2011 and analysed using a grounded theory approach. Findings point to the importance of sexual communication as a factor influencing PMTCT male involvement. Analysis of themes lends support to improving communication between couples, encouraging dialogue among men and increasing male involvement in PMTCT to bridge the gap between knowledge and sexual behaviour change.

AB - DESIGN: Consenting parents of older children with CHD (age >3 years) and cardiologists ranked the importance of education topics on a scale of 1 (unimportant) to 10 (very important). The rankings of parents and cardiologists were compared using Student's t-test. AB - RESULTS: We had 38 cardiologists and 41 parents complete the questionnaire. There was a statistically significant difference in rankings between cardiologist and parents of children with CHD (P<0.03). Parents consistently ranked topics as more important than cardiologists with a mean difference in rank score of 0.85+/-0.3. In the prenatal period, the most significant differences between parents and cardiologists were noted for information related to the child's quality of life. For neonatal counseling, the most significant differences were noted for information regarding follow-up care and the parent's ability to describe the child's CHD to medical personnel. AB - CONCLUSION: Parents of older children with CHD would prefer to receive more counseling and education in the prenatal and newborn period than cardiologists perceive is wanted.

Primary care is vital to achieving these aims. The aim of this study was to understand the anticipated needs and preferred sources of mental health information and support of men and women expecting their first baby. Nulliparous English-speaking expectant parents attending childbirth education programs in public and private hospitals participated in single sex small group discussions in late pregnancy. Discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically using the group as the unit of analysis. Eight groups (22 women; 16 men) encompassing diverse socioeconomic circumstances were conducted. Analyses showed idealised fantasies consistently tempered with realistic expectations about adjustment to life with a baby. However, there were diverse and gendered views about whether primary care providers should discuss mental health with parents of infants and willingness to complete written questionnaires or be referred for specialist mental health care. Men regard primary family care as mother not father inclusive. Expectant parents readily anticipate realistic postnatal adjustment and need for emotional support. Increased provision of services that meet men's needs and public understanding and acceptance of Australian integrated models of primary postnatal mental health care are needed.

Research in the area of father's engagement with pregnancy and childbirth has mainly focused on white middle-class men and has been mostly qualitative in design. Thus, the aim of this study was to understand who was engaged during pregnancy and childbirth, in what way, and how paternal engagement may influence a woman's uptake of services, her perceptions of care, and maternal outcomes. AB - METHODS: This study involved secondary analysis of data on 4616 women collected in a 2010 national maternity survey of England asking about their experiences of maternity care, health and well-being up to three months after childbirth, and their partners' engagement in pregnancy, labour and postnatally. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, binary logistic regression and generalised linear modelling. AB - RESULTS: Over 80% of fathers were 'pleased or 'overjoyed' in response to their partner's pregnancy, over half were present for the pregnancy test, for one or more antenatal checks, and almost all were present for ultrasound examinations and for labour. Three-quarters of fathers took paternity leave and, during the postnatal period, most fathers helped with infant care. Paternal engagement was highest in partners of primiparous white women, those living in less deprived areas, and in those whose pregnancy was planned. Greater paternal engagement was positively associated with first contact with health professionals before 12 weeks gestation, having a dating scan, number of antenatal checks, offer and attendance at antenatal classes, and breastfeeding. Paternity leave was also strongly associated with maternal well-being at three months postpartum. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the considerable sociodemographic variation in partner support and engagement. It is important that health professionals recognise that women in some sociodemographic groups may be less supported by their partner and more reliant on staff and that this may have implications for how women access care.

AB - STUDY AIM: To define male involvement during pregnancy and obtain community-based recommendations for interventions to improve male involvement during pregnancy. AB - METHODS: We conducted focus groups with mothers and fathers from the National Healthy Start Association program in order to obtain detailed descriptions of male involvement activities, benefits, barriers, and proposed solutions for increasing male involvement during pregnancy. The majority of participants were African American parents. AB - RESULTS: The involved "male" was identified as either the biological father, or, the current male partner of the pregnant woman. Both men and women described the ideal, involved father or male partner as present, accessible, available, understanding, willing to learn about the pregnancy process and eager to provide emotional, physical and financial support to the woman carrying the child. Women emphasized a sense of "togetherness" during the pregnancy. Suggestions included creating male-targeted prenatal programs, enhancing current interventions targeting females, and increasing healthcare providers' awareness of the importance of men's involvement during pregnancy. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Individual, family, community, societal and policy factors play a role in barring or diminishing the involvement of fathers during pregnancy. Future research and interventions should target these factors and their interaction in order to increase fathers' involvement and thereby improve pregnancy outcomes.

Indeed, women and men participating in this study recommended a range of strategies to be provided during the childbearing year, comparable to a "menu in a restaurant." Their strategies included three program types: "Hearing Detail and Asking Questions," "Learning and Discussing," and "Sharing and Supporting Each Other." The characteristics of each type of program are identified in this article. The actual learning methods the study participants recommended to be incorporated into the programs were "Time to Catch Up and Focus," "Seeing and Hearing the Real Experience," "Practicing," and "Discovering."

Mothers may experience self-blame for the disability; therefore, sensitive communication is crucial. A private setting is recommended, with a minimum of health-care professionals in attendance when the diagnosis is revealed. The perinatal educator can guide the mother through the early emotional phases of processing and accepting the new information by offering support and incorporating timely information and interventions. The perinatal educator can also inform and prepare other expectant couples in the childbirth class and encourage them to support the mother and father in celebrating the forthcoming birth. The objective of nursing care for a mother whose infant is newly diagnosed with a disability is to facilitate a positive outcome for her and to promote optimal infant bonding. In all communication and information, replacing the term "disabled infant" with "infant with a disability" is emphasized in order to recognize the infant first and the disability second.

A sparse but growing body of knowledge exists about this population. A number of authors reported distinct changes and concerns. Most of the study subjects were participatns in prenatal classes, a factor which suggests that the findings may not reflect the needs of all expectant fathers. All partners were experiencing a normal pregnancy. This precluded the anxiety of a high-risk situation as a confounding variable. Most information given to expectant fathers was intended to assist them to support their partners. There was little evidence that men received much professional guidance to prepare them for fatherhood.

The program's purpose was to increase use of infants' car restraints. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from women hospitalized at the birth of a baby. The women were questioned about their education on car restraints and whether they had a car seat for the new baby. Of the 723 who completed questionnaires, 90% reported having a car seat. Eighty-three percent of those who attended prenatal classes received information about car safety from their prenatal teachers. Only 18% of the mothers reported that physicians discussed car safety. Judging from the survey results, all prenatal education programs, physicians providing prenatal and pediatric care, and public health nurses should give parents information about all aspects of infant safety.

However, the predictive role of food insecurity with regard to specific types of children's mental health symptoms has not previously been studied. We used data from the Longitudinal Study of Child Development in Quebec, LSCDQ, a representative birth cohort study of children born in the Quebec region, in Canada, in 1997-1998 (n = 2120). Family food insecurity was ascertained when children were 11/2 and 41/2 years old. Children's mental health symptoms were assessed longitudinally using validated measures of behaviour at ages 41/2, 5, 6 and 8 years. Symptom trajectory groups were estimated to identify children with persistently high levels of depression/anxiety (21.0%), aggression (26.2%), and hyperactivity/inattention (6.0%). The prevalence of food insecurity in the study was 5.9%. In sex-adjusted analyses, children from food-insecure families were disproportionately likely to experience persistent symptoms of depression/anxiety (OR: 1.79, 95% CI 1.15-2.79) and hyperactivity/inattention (OR: 3.06, 95% CI 1.68-5.55). After controlling for immigrant status, family structure, maternal age at child's birth, family income, maternal and paternal education, prenatal tobacco exposure, maternal and paternal depression and negative parenting, only persistent hyperactivity/inattention remained associated with food insecurity (fully adjusted OR: 2.65, 95% CI 1.16-6.06). Family food insecurity predicts high levels of children's mental health symptoms, particularly hyperactivity/inattention. Addressing food insecurity and associated problems in families could help reduce the burden of mental health problems in children and reduce social inequalities in development.

The authors examined the frequency of couvade symptoms in male subjects as well as their associations with male empathy. AB - MATERIAL AND METHODS: The research involved 143 expectant fathers. All subjects attended antenatal classes, and their female partners were in their third trimester. Before the start of classes, participants were asked to fill in the following questionnaires: a survey for measurement of Couvade Syndrome (which includes a set of 16 symptoms identified by Lipkin and Lamb (19) and translated into Polish), and the Empathic Sensitiveness Scale (SWE). Although participants, on average, did not experience Couvade Syndrome, they did experience symptoms that are commonly linked with the syndrome, namely those related to weight (weight gain, changes in appetite and flatulence). AB - RESULTS: The results indicate that expectant fathers experience couvade symptoms related to weight (weight gain, changes in appetite and flatulence). The only empathic component that positively correlates with Couvade Syndrome is personal distress, i.e. the tendency to take on the negative emotions of others. Demographic characteristics are not associated with Couvade Syndrome. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of couvade symptoms in male subjects is associated with male empathy. In other words, men who are emotionally sensitive or prone to distress may physiologically experience the pregnancy of their female partners, which can be interpreted as compathy.

In Kenya, their national coverage gaps are substantial but could be largely improved if the total population had the same coverage as the wealthiest quintile. A decomposition analysis allows identifying the factors that influence these wealth-related inequalities in order to develop appropriate policy responses. The main objective of the study was to decompose wealth-related inequalities in SBA and measles immunization into their contributing factors. AB - METHODS: Data from the Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey 2008/09 were used. The study investigated the effects of socio-economic determinants on [1] coverage and [2] wealth-related inequalities of SBA utilization and measles immunization. Techniques used were multivariate logistic regression and decomposition of the concentration index (C). AB - RESULTS: SBA utilization and measles immunization coverage differed according to household wealth, parent's education, skilled antenatal care visits, birth order and father's occupation. SBA utilization further differed across provinces and ethnic groups. The overall C for SBA was 0.14 and was mostly explained by wealth (40%), parent's education (28%), antenatal care (9%), and province (6%). The overall C for measles immunization was 0.08 and was mostly explained by wealth (60%), birth order (33%), and parent's education (28%). Rural residence (-19%) reduced this inequality. AB - CONCLUSION: Both health care indicators require a broad strengthening of health systems with a special focus on disadvantaged sub-groups.

This study tests the hypothesis that perinatal taurine exposure influences adult autonomic nervous system control of arterial pressure in response to acute electrical tooth pulp stimulation. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with normal rat chow with 3% beta-alanine (taurine depletion, TD), 3% taurine (taurine supplementation, TS), or water alone (control, C) from conception to weaning. Their male offspring were fed with normal rat chow and tap water throughout the experiment. At 8-10 weeks of age, blood chemistry, arterial pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity were measured in anesthetized rats. Age, body weight, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, plasma electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, and plasma cortisol were not significantly different among the three groups. Before tooth pulp stimulation, low- (0.3-0.5 Hz) and high-frequency (0.5-4.0 Hz) power spectral densities of arterial pressure were not significantly different among groups while the power spectral densities of renal sympathetic nerve activity were significantly decreased in TD compared to control rats. Tooth pulp stimulation did not change arterial pressure, heart rate, renal sympathetic nerve, and arterial pressure power spectral densities in the 0.3-4.0 Hz spectrum or renal sympathetic nerve firing rate in any group. In contrast, perinatal taurine imbalance disturbed very-low-frequency power spectral densities of both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (below 0.1 Hz), both before and after the tooth pulp stimulation. The power densities of TS were most sensitive to ganglionic blockade and central adrenergic inhibition, while those of TD were sensitive to both central and peripheral adrenergic inhibition. The present data indicate that perinatal taurine imbalance can lead to aberrant autonomic nervous system responses in adult male rats.

AB - METHOD: Parents and teachers rated ADHD symptoms, including inattention and impulsivity/hyperactivity. The authors reviewed pediatric medical records for history of an ADHD diagnosis, and parents reported ADHD medication use. The authors analyzed risk factors in relationship to outcomes using multivariable regression models. AB - RESULTS: Low paternal education, prenatal smoking, prenatal illicit drug use, maternal depression, and low Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment score were associated with greater risk for ADHD behaviors assessed via rating scale. Low income and being male were associated with ADHD diagnosis in medical records and ADHD medication use. AB - CONCLUSION: The authors found associations between socioeconomic, psychosocial, and prenatal exposures and ADHD-related behavior. Selection bias due to access to care and recall bias from inaccurate report of past exposures is minimized in this large, nonclinical, prospective cohort study.

AB - DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study. AB - SETTING: Nine primary care centers in the Valencia Region (Spain). AB - POPULATION: A consecutive sample of 1400 women in the first trimester of pregnancy, attending the prenatal programme in the Valencia Region of Spain in 2008, with follow-up in the third trimester of pregnancy, and at 5 and 12 months postpartum. A total of 888 women (66.5%) participated in all four phases. AB - METHODS: A logistic regression model was fitted using generalised estimating equations to assess the effects of previous partner violence, consumption of alcohol or illicit drugs and social support on subsequent psychological partner violence. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Psychological IPV during follow-up. AB - RESULTS: We observed an increase in the incidence of psychological IPV after birth, particularly at 5 months postpartum. The strongest predictor of psychological IPV was having experienced abuse 12 months before pregnancy (OR 10.46, 95%CI 2.40-45.61). Other predictors were consumption of alcohol or illicit drugs by the partner or a family member (OR3.50, 95%CI 1.38-8.85) and lack of affective social support (OR2.83, 95%CI 1.31-6.11). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Previous abuse and psychosocial risk factors predict partner psychological abuse after birth. Monitoring psychological IPV and effective interventions are needed not only during pregnancy but also during the postpartum period.

ASD prevalence shows gender bias to male. Prenatal exposure to valproic acid (VPA), a drug used in epilepsy and bipolar disorder, induces autistic symptoms in both human and rodents. As we reported previously, prenatally VPA-exposed animals at E12 showed impairment in social behavior without any overt reproductive toxicity. Social interactions were not significantly different between male and female rats in control condition. However, VPA-exposed male offspring showed significantly impaired social interaction while female offspring showed only marginal deficits in social interaction. Similar male inclination was observed in hyperactivity behavior induced by VPA. In addition to the ASD-like behavioral phenotype, prenatally VPA-exposed rat offspring shows crooked tail phenotype, which was not different between male and female groups. Both male and female rat showed reduced GABAergic neuronal marker GAD and increased glutamatergic neuronal marker vGluT1 expression. Interestingly, despite of the similar increased expression of vGluT1, post-synaptic marker proteins such as PSD-95 and alpha-CAMKII expression was significantly elevated only in male offspring. Electron microscopy showed increased number of post-synapse in male but not in female at 4 weeks of age. These results might suggest that the altered glutamatergic neuronal differentiation leads to deranged post-synaptic maturation only in male offspring prenatally exposed to VPA. Consistent with the increased post-synaptic compartment, VPA-exposed male rats showed higher sensitivity to electric shock than VPA-exposed female rats. These results suggest that prenatally VPA-exposed rats show the male preponderance of ASD-like behaviors including defective social interaction similar to human autistic patients, which might be caused by ectopic increase in glutamatergic synapses in male rats.

Previous research suggests that this is due to transgenerational epigenetic programming of genes operating in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). However, it is not known whether intrauterine exposure to maternal stress affects the epigenetic state of these genes beyond infancy. Here, we analyze the methylation status of the GR gene in mothers and their children, at 10-19 years after birth. We combine these data with a retrospective evaluation of maternal exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV). Methylation of the mother's GR gene was not affected by IPV. For the first time, we show that methylation status of the GR gene of adolescent children is influenced by their mother's experience of IPV during pregnancy. As these sustained epigenetic modifications are established in utero, we consider this to be a plausible mechanism by which prenatal stress may program adult psychosocial function.

AB - BACKGROUND: in China the one-child birth policy may bring more stress and challenges for the new parents due to the lack of experience and greater expectations of their new role. China is also at a stage of rapid economic and social development which creates new conditions for parenthood. AB - METHODS: a cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to September 2009 among 232 mothers and fathers, yielding a 83.6% response rate (n=194 couples). The questionnaire included: the Family Assessment Device-General Function Scale, the Family Resources Scale, the Family Adaptation Scale, and the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale. AB - RESULTS: there were no significant differences between mothers' adaptation and fathers' adaptation during the postpartum period, as well as their perceived stress, family function and family resources (p>0.05). Method of childbirth was not related to adaptation. About 29% of variance in mothers' adaptation could be explained by satisfaction with the infant's gender (B=0.295, p<0.001), fathers' adaptation (B=0.236, p<0.001), and family resources (B=0.179, p=0.016). About 42% of variance in fathers' adaptation could be explained by mothers' adaptation (B=0.268, p<0.001), satisfaction with marriage (B=0.248, p=0.002), satisfaction with the infant's gender (B=0.209, p<0.007), and family resources (B=0.206, p=0.002). AB - CONCLUSION: this study highlights the importance of family resources to family adaptation and antenatal and postnatal education programmes as part of family-centred care. The possible influences of culture and policies need to be considered by health-care professionals developing strategies to facilitate family adaptation to the early parenthood.

Most common coparenting systems projected by respondents involved maternal grandmothers and/or the babies' fathers, though other caregivers were explicitly anticipated in a smaller number of cases. Multiperson coparenting systems were the norm, and only 2 of 45 respondents anticipated that they would be entirely on their own with no coparental system whatsoever. Qualitative analyses of mothers' narratives about postbaby coparenting systems revealed five main constructions: having thought about and anticipating coparenting, positive in outlook; having thought about and anticipating coparenting, but with mild concerns (conflict, unreliability); having thought about coparenting and anticipating limited or no support; having thought about coparenting and anticipating significant conflict and nonsupport; and having not thought much about coparenting, being neither focused on nor worried about this issue. Illustrations of each of these types are provided, and directions for family science and practice are discussed. AB - Copyright © FPI, Inc.

A repeated measures cohort study using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

We have limited knowledge of fathers' anxiety during the perinatal period yet there is evidence that the parenting capacity of a person can be compromised by anxiety and depression. The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of a father inclusive intervention on perinatal anxiety and depression. The prime focus of the intervention was to provide education and support to fathers of breastfeeding partners with the aim of increasing both initiation and duration of breastfeeding. AB - METHODS: A repeated measures cohort study was conducted during a RCT that was implemented across eight public maternity hospitals in Perth, Western Australia between May 2008 and June 2009. A baseline questionnaire which included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was administered to all participants on the first night of their hospital based antenatal education program and was repeated at six weeks postnatal. SPSS version 17 was used for reporting descriptive results. AB - RESULTS: The mean anxiety levels at baseline for the fathers in the intervention group (n=289) and control group (n=244) were 4.58 and 4.22 respectively. At 6 weeks postnatal (only matched pairs), intervention and control group were 3.93 and 3.79. More intervention group fathers self-rated less anxiety compared to the fathers in the control group from baseline to post test (p=0.048). Depression scores for intervention fathers at baseline (mean=1.09) and at six weeks (mean=1.09) were very similar to fathers in the control group at baseline (mean=1.11) and at six weeks (mean=1.07) with no significant changes. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Both intervention and control group fathers experienced some anxiety prior to the birth of their baby, but this was rapidly reduced at six weeks. Paternal anxiety is common to new fathers and providing them with information and strategies for problem-solving can increase their knowledge and potentially lower the risk of postnatal anxiety.

Genetic variance in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis genes may influence the effect of prenatal maternal psychological symptoms on child emotional and behavioral problems. This hypothesis was tested in the Generation R Study, a population-based cohort from fetal life onward. In total, 1727 children of Northern European descent and their mothers participated in this study and were genotyped for variants in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene (rs6189/rs6190, rs10052957, rs41423247, rs6195, and rs6198) and the FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5) gene (rs1360780). Prenatal maternal psychological symptoms were assessed at 20 weeks pregnancy and child behavior was assessed by both parents at 3 years. In a subsample of 331 children, data about cortisol reactivity were available. Based on power calculations, only those genetic variants with sufficient minor allele frequencies (rs41423247, rs10052957, and rs1360780) were included in the interaction analyses. We found that variation in GR at rs41423247 moderates the effect of prenatal maternal psychological symptoms on child emotional and behavioral problems (beta 0.41, SE 0.16, p=0.009). This prenatal interaction effect was independent of mother's genotype and maternal postnatal psychopathology, and not found for prenatal psychological symptoms of the father. Moreover, the interaction between rs41423247 and prenatal psychological symptoms was also associated with decreased child cortisol reactivity (beta -2.30, p-value 0.05). These findings emphasize the potential effect of prenatal gene-environment interaction, and give insight in possible mechanisms accounting for children's individual vulnerability to develop emotional and behavioral problems.

They cover a range of topics, but they are failing parents because they do not provide sufficient information to prepare them for abnormal labours and deliveries. They do not do enough to educate parents about what to expect when problems arise and what happens afterwards. This paper looks at whether classes do enough to make parents aware of problems and whether they should be doing more. It examines the arguments both for and against including this information in antenatal classes. AB - Copyright © 2012 The Author.

AB - METHODS: The study was a qualitative description of perspectives from a convenience sample of Black single (nonmarried) adolescent mothers. Data were generated through focus groups and interviews. Participants were recruited using self-referral and health provider referrals. AB - SETTING: The study was conducted in a county public health department sexually transmitted diseases clinic in Rochester, New York. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Single mothers (N = 31) ages 15 to 19 participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 17.5 years (SD = 1.4). AB - FINDINGS: Four themes were identified that reflected the major characteristics of the relationships between the mothers and the biological fathers of their children: (a) You will always care about your "baby daddy" because of your child, (b) Negative behavior is tolerated to keep the family together, (c) The "baby daddy" can get sex as long as we are not on bad terms, and (d) He will always be part of our lives. AB - CONCLUSION: Black adolescent mothers have complex relationships with the biological fathers of their children that may include ongoing sexual activity. The intersection of coparenting and sexual health needs among adolescent mothers highlights the importance of integrating sexually transmitted infections prevention with perinatal health programs. It is important to consider this unique coparenting relationship when providing risk-reduction counseling to young mothers.

Ann Tumblin teaches about epidurals in a hospital class without losing sight of evidence-based practices that support normal birth. Jessica English focuses her classes on the natural processes of giving birth and spends only a little time presenting information about pain medications. Judith Lothian encourages educators to consider a new framework for Lamaze classes that involves letting go of the details and incorporating Lamaze's six Healthy Birth Practices and storytelling.

Data from 1,117 women and 1,019 partners residing in three cities in Sweden were collected with a questionnaire in a cross-sectional study. Participants believed that antenatal education classes would help them to feel more secure as parents and to be better oriented toward childbirth. Men had more positive expectations about the childbirth than the women. The participants mostly wanted help in preparing for parenthood and in learning infant care skills, followed by help in preparing for childbirth. The participants' expectations were affected by gender, age, and educational level. The expectant parents appeared to want more focus on preparation for parenthood than on childbirth.

AB - AIM: To review the occurrence, management and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by FNAIT from a single tertiary obstetric hospital in Western Australia. AB - MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted as a retrospective review of cases with prenatally recognised FNAIT between 2001 and 2011, with the treatment modalities and outcomes analysed. AB - RESULTS: Over the 10-year period, 20 cases of clinically significant FNAIT in 13 women were managed at our centre. Three cases were complicated by antenatal intracranial haemorrhage (15%), and in all 3, this was the presenting feature leading to diagnosis. In 17/20 (85%) cases, anti-HPA 1a was the responsible antibody, with the remainder being anti-HPA 5b. In 16/17 cases with pre-pregnancy recognition, intravenous gammaglobulin (IVGG) was administered antenatally (gestation at commencement ranging from 13 to 26 weeks) with adjuvant prednisolone in three cases. Postnatal treatment (IVGG or platelet transfusion) was provided in 4/16 cases. There was no intracranial haemorrhage or demise in any case receiving prenatal therapy. AB - CONCLUSIONS: FNAIT is a rare and serious condition. In our small single-centre study, there was variability in the therapeutic strategies, although IVGG was central to all prenatally managed pregnancies. None of the treated pregnancies was complicated by intracranial haemorrhage or fetal death. There is a need for ongoing refinement of FNAIT management protocols, both in the prenatal and in the postnatal period.

However, genetic determinants of cIgE elevation and their potential modifiers remain inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-13 gene (IL-13) with cIgE elevation and their interactions with prenatal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and neonatal sex. A structured questionnaire regarding prenatal environmental exposures was completed during pregnancy. Birth information was extracted from the medical records. Cord blood from 794 term neonates was genotyped for three SNPs (rs1800925, rs20541, and rs848) of IL-13 and measured for cIgE levels. SNP rs20541 and a 3-SNP haplotype containing rs1800925, rs20541, and rs848 (denoted as h011) were significantly associated with cIgE elevation (p = 0.04 and 0.003, respectively). Two-way interaction analysis revealed that the associations of IL-13 rs20541 and h011 with cIgE elevation were synergistically enhanced by prenatal ETS (p for interaction = 0.03 and 0.03, respectively), but not by male sex. If the association analyses were stratified by prenatal ETS and neonatal sex simultaneously, IL-13 rs20541 and h011 had the highest risks for cIgE elevation in male babies prenatally exposed to ETS, with adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) being 3.03 (1.56-5.88) and 2.81 (1.54-5.15), respectively. When three-way interactions were examined, both IL-13 rs20541 and h011 exhibited significant interactions with male sex and ETS (p for interaction = 0.03 and 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the influence of IL-13 genetic variants on cIgE elevation was modified by male sex and prenatal ETS. AB - Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

Metastatic MTC has been reported as young as 3months of age. Current guidelines recommend prophylactic thyroidectomy within the first year of life for MEN 2B. AB - PATIENT FINDINGS: We report a 9-week-old infant with MTC due to familial MEN 2B. A full-term male infant, born to a mother with known MEN 2B and metastatic MTC, had an M918T RET proto-oncogene mutation confirmed at 4weeks of age. He underwent prophylactic total thyroidectomy at 9weeks of age. Pathology showed a focal calcitonin-positive nodule (2.5mm), consistent with microscopic MTC. AB - SUMMARY: This case highlights the importance of early prophylactic thyroidectomy in MEN 2B. Although current guidelines recommend surgery up to a year of life, MTC may occur in the first few weeks of life, raising the question of how early we should intervene. In this report, we discuss the risks, benefits and barriers to performing earlier thyroidectomy, soon after the first month of life, and make suggestions to facilitate timely intervention. Prenatal anticipatory surgical scheduling could be considered in familial MEN 2B. Multidisciplinary collaboration between adult and pediatric specialists is key to the optimal management of the infant at risk.

In particular, they prompt us to consider our work with fathers. Participative courses, with small group work as a core feature, enable women and men to learn in a way that is consistent with an adult learning model and to get to know others going through a similar life change. NCT antenatal courses are used as a case study to consider aspects of preparation against current criteria for good practice, based on evidence from a survey and qualitative feedback from fathers.

Much of the literature surrounding men's experiences of antenatal care has focused on their experiences of attending antenatal education classes, and (to a much lesser extent) of being present at ultrasound scans and antenatal care appointments. Drawing from the findings and current guidelines for the inclusion of men in maternity care, implications for practice are provided.

We measured interest in newborn testing for several autosomal recessive disorders and reasons for interest. AB - METHODS: A cross-sectional, pen and paper survey was administered to the general public and prospective parents attending prenatal classes in Eastern Canada between April and December, 2010. AB - RESULTS: A total of 648 individuals completed surveys. Interest in newborn testing for inherited hearing loss, vision loss, and neurological disorders was high (over 80% would have their newborn tested). The attitudes of prospective parents and students were positive, but somewhat less so than members of the general public. Across all disorders, interest in testing was driven by the desire to be prepared for the birth of a child with a genetic disorder. Significantly more people would use the information from testing for fatal neurological disorders in future reproductive decisions than the information generated by newborn testing for inherited hearing or vision loss. AB - CONCLUSION: Interest is high in newborn testing for a variety of conditions, including those for which no effective treatment exists. Findings lend support to the expansion of NBS panels to include those disorders currently lacking treatment and highlight the value of including the views of diverse stakeholders, including prospective parents, in screening policies.

The effects of this are not limited to the exposed first (F1) generation but can be transmissible to a second generation (F2) through male and female lines. Using a three generation animal model of programming by initial prenatal glucocorticoid overexposure we have identified effects on fetal and placental weight in both the F1 and F2 offspring. However, the expression of candidate imprinted genes in the fetus and placenta differed between the F1 and F2, with marked parent-of-origin effects in F2. Since DNA methylation at imprinted genes is maintained at fertilization, they are potential templates for the transmission of programming effects across generations. Although we detected alterations in DNA methylation at differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the key prenatal growth factor Igf2 in F1 and F2 fetal liver, the changes in DNA methylation at these DMRs do not appear to underlie the transmission of effects on Igf2 expression through sperm. Thus, multigenerational programming effects on birth weight and disease risk is associated with different processes in F1 and F2. These findings have implications for the pathogenesis and future attempts to stratify therapies for the "developmental component" of cardiometabolic disease.

Many people who are parents for the first time will participate in parenting education. Most of the previous studies associated with parenting education focus on subjects such as birth outcome and breastfeeding. The purpose of this study is to focus on the less investigated aspect of the parents' experience of participating in parenting education with Maternal Healthcare Services (MVC). A qualitative, phenomenological, hermeneutical method was selected to be used to analyze our findings and we used the statements of twenty participants to accumulate enough material to develop it into twelve sub-themes and five themes. The results of this study show that these expectant parents had few or no expectations of the parenting education that they were going to participate in. Generally speaking the parents seemed to be satisfied with the program. They described their reasons for participating as a chance to get together with other people in similar circumstances and to share information and they found a midwife to be a trustworthy professional person to confirm the information that was available to them from other sources.

SO - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry & Mental Health [Electronic Resource]. 5:34, 2011 Nov 03 AS - Child Adolesc Psychiatry Ment Health. 5:34, 2011 Nov 03 NJ - Child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health PI - Journal available in: Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101297974 IO - Child Adolesc Psychiatry Ment Health PM - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3248358 CP - England AB - BACKGROUND: Autism is a biological disorder with clearly defined phenomenology. Studies from the Middle East on this topic have been particularly rare. Little is known about the influence of culture on clinical features, presentations and management of autism. The current study was done to compare characteristics of autism in two groups of Egyptian as well as Saudi children. AB - METHODS: The sample included 48 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. They were recruited from the Okasha Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt and Al-Amal Complex for Mental Health, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They were grouped into an Egyptian group (n = 20) and a Saudi group (n = 28). They were assessed both clinically and psychometrically using the GARS, the Vineland adaptive behavioral scale, and the Stanford Binnet IQ test. AB - RESULTS: Typical autism was more prevalent than atypical autism in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences in clinical variables like regression, hyperactivity, epilepsy or mental retardation. Delayed language development was significantly higher in the Egyptian group while delay in all developmental milestones was more significant in the Saudi group. The Vineland communication subscale showed more significant severe and profound communication defects in the Saudi group while the Gilliam developmental subscale showed significantly more average scores in the Egyptian group. Both groups differed significantly such that the age of noticing abnormality was younger in the Saudi group. The age at diagnosis and at the commencement of intervention was lower in the Egyptian group. The Saudi group showed a higher percentage of missing examinations, older birth order and significantly higher preference to drug treatment, while the Egyptian group showed a high preference to behavioral and phoniatric therapies, higher paternal and maternal education, higher employment among parents and higher family concern. AB - CONCLUSION: Cultural context may significantly influence the age of noticing abnormality, the age of starting intervention, developmental and perinatal problems, family concerns about managing the problem as well as familial tendency for neurodevelopmental disorders, all of which have important impact on clinical symptomatology and severity of autism. Culture also influences significantly the ways of investigating and treating autism.

Fifteen fathers were interviewed between 8 days and 6 weeks after the birth. The results describe a movement toward father-child togetherness characterized by an immediate and gradual change within the father as he undertakes increasing responsibility while getting to know his child. The results can be discussed in antenatal classes in order to integrate the father's important role in the care of his infant, especially in a situation where the mother-infant dyad has been interrupted.

Focus group interviews of 25 obstetricians and midwives were conducted. Data were analyzed with a phenomenographic approach. Five main categories emerged: aim of the parenthood education, content and expectations, implementation, support to group leaders, and strategies for the future. There is a strong belief in parenthood education, and the overall aim was considered to be support in the transition to parenthood. Contents should focus on awareness of the expected child, confidence in the biological processes, and the changes of roles. Pedagogies training, cost effectiveness, development, and the need to reach target groups were emphasized.

This article examines current literature and focuses on three skills parents need in order to become confident and effective mothers and fathers: understanding a newborn's state, reading an infant's cues, and appreciating a baby's capabilities. Using language that is family-friendly, concise, and clear, this article describes an innovative program, called "The HUG," which provides this information and gives perinatal educators new skills and techniques for explaining newborn behavior to parents in order to help parents understand, enjoy, and attach to their baby.

This article provides an overview of a needs assessment that aimed to determine the concerns and interests of expectant and new parents and how they prefer to learn during the periods of pregnancy and the early weeks of parenthood. The findings could be used to develop an innovative approach to antenatal education in order to prepare expectant and new parents for the birth experience and the early weeks of parenthood. The current study's results identified that expectant and new parents' concerns and interests during pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenting fall within five interrelated conceptual areas: 1) perceiving achievement or failure; 2) taking on "risk"; 3) riding an emotional "roller coaster" of joy, anxiety, and uncertainty; 4) needing to "know...what is normal"; and 5) needing help to "perform well."

Using observations collected at childbirth education classes conducted in the United States during the fall of 2002, the author found four positions that would be considered culturally sensitive with her Thai experiences. Perhaps with some modifications in the technique, mothers and their partners in Thailand will more readily accept childbirth education classes.

Outcomes obtained from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were maternal postnatal depression at 8 weeks (n = 10,070), never breastfeeding (n = 7,976), feelings of poor attachment (n = 8,253) and hostility (n = 8,159) at 47 months, and not in employment, education or training (NEET, n = 8,265) at 61 months. Only a small proportion of women with each outcome were aged less than 20 years when they were pregnant. At least half of the women experiencing these outcomes, and up to 74.7% of women with postnatal depression, could be identified if they had at least one of the predictors measured during pregnancy (age < 20, depression, education less than O level, financial difficulties, no partner, or smoking). Model discrimination was poor using maternal age only (area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve approximately 0.52), except for never breastfeeding (0.63). Discrimination improved (AUROC: 0.80, 0.69, 0.62, 0.60, 0.66 for depression, never breastfeeding, poor attachment, hostility and NEET, respectively) when all six predictors were included in the model. Calibration improved for all outcomes with the model including all six predictors, except never breastfeeding where even age alone demonstrated good calibration. Factors other than young maternal age, including education, smoking and depression during pregnancy should be considered in identifying women and their offspring likely to benefit from parenting support interventions.

Assessing predictors of participant attrition and nurse and site characteristics associated with it could lay a foundation for increasing retention and engagement. We examined this issue in the national expansion of the Nurse-Family Partnership, an evidence-based program of prenatal and infancy home visiting for low-income, first-time mothers, their children, and families. Using a mixed methods approach, we examined participant, nurse, and site predictors of participant attrition and completed home visits. We used mixed multivariate regression models to identify participant, nurse, program, and site predictors of addressable attrition and completed home visits during pregnancy and the first year of the child's life for 10,367 participants at 66 implementation sites. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with nurse home visitors and supervisors at selected sites with the highest (N=5 sites) and lowest (N=6 sites) rates of participant addressable attrition and employed qualitative methods to synthesize themes that emerged in nurses' descriptions of the strategies they used to retain participants. Mothers who were younger, unmarried, African American, and visited by nurses who ceased employment had higher rates of attrition and fewer home visits. Hispanic mothers, those living with partners, and those employed at registration had lower rates of attrition. Those who were living with partners and employed had more home visits. Nurses in high retention sites adapted the program to their clients' needs, were less directive, and more collaborative with them. Increasing nurses' flexibility in adapting this structured, evidence-based program to families' needs may increase participant retention and completed home visits.

Partners of women with PPPD are also affected by the illness, but their experiences are seldom described. The aim of this study was to explore men's experience of women with PPPD.Methods Eleven written narratives from the internet were used to analyse men's perceived experience of their partner's PPPDs. Data were analysed using content analysis.Results The men revealed a major disruption in their lives. They expressed fear, confusion and anger; they were also extremely concerned about their partners, and felt unable to help in overcoming the disorder. Most of the men described making sacrifices in order to hold the relationship and the family together. Although the disorder improved over time, they were left to face an uncertain future with a woman who seemed to be very different from the person they had known previously. Most of the men gained maturity and increased self-esteem, but for some the result was divorce, custody disputes and loneliness.Conclusions The men in this study experienced the woman's PPPD as a difficult time, when everything familiar was turned upside down. Health professionals should pay more attention to men's mental health in the postpartum period. Furthermore, information regarding the possibility of these disorders should be given to expectant couples in prenatal classes. Further research is needed to ascertain how and to what extent this should be included in the education.

This article was written by two nurse educators/nurse-midwives who have been involved for over 10 years with a grant-funded parenting and childbirth education program for pregnant teens. It reviews the background of the Resource Center for Young Parents-To-Be, suggests grant-funding sources, and explains the building of partnerships in the community. The basic steps involved in the grant-writing process are presented as well as the importance of follow-up evaluations and reports. Grant-writing skills and the ability to forge partnerships with other community organizations can be important tools for childbirth educators and health-care professionals.

Fifteen fathers were interviewed between 8 days and 6 weeks after the birth of their child. Three categories, five subcategories, and 12 qualitatively different conceptions emerged from the study's findings. The first category showed that parental education emphasizes the importance of normal birth. The second category illustrated that parental education defuses the issue of complicated births. The third category demonstrated that parental education preserves traditional gender roles. The study's results may facilitate efforts to integrate fathers into parental education toward the aim of achieving parity between mother and father in their role as parents.

The goal is to assist in breaking cycles of dysfunction in families. At the core of this expanded model of childbirth education is the concept of prevention. The intervention described in Part I in the Journal of Perinatal Education 7(4), 26-33 provided parents with information and coping mechanisms by drawing parallels to traditionally learned coping skills for childbirth with techniques needed to cope in post-partum. This approach also encouraged prenatal parents to learn techniques for promoting attachment to their children before birth. The curriculum was tested by randomizing 48 couples to the expanded or traditional model of childbirth education. A pre- and post-Prenatal Parenting Scale was administered to both groups. Only the experimental group demonstrated improvement at the post-class administration.

Their reported perceptions included enhanced knowledge about childbearing, support during childbirth, self-care, and early attachment to the newborn. Participants concurred that the community-based doula intervention had a positive impact on their supportive networks. This innovative model can supplement perinatal programs through utilization of culturally sensitive, community-based doulas that provide comprehensive relationship-based caring.

These postbirth findings were compared with a previous exit survey of male attendants at antenatal classes in which fathers-to-be predicted that the antenatal classes had prepared them well on all fronts. The new fathers in this study, however, reported that the antenatal classes had prepared them for childbirth but not for lifestyle and relationship changes after the birth. Additionally, couples who attended antenatal classes were asked to what extent they were familiar with family-related services in the region and how often they had used these services since the birth of their baby. Fathers were less familiar than mothers with the family-related services.

For some couples, these challenges are life-enriching experiences, while for others, chaos ensues, potentially leading to separation and divorce. The transition to first-time parenthood, even for well-functioning couples, is fraught with potential disorganization. At the same time, it provides opportunities for simultaneous self-growth and conjugal enrichment. What role can perinatal educators play in preparing couples to deal with the changes associated with this transition? To answer this vital question, the author presents her conceptualization of perinatal education as a primary family intervention framework during the perinatal period.

Opportunities to learn new practices and gain support are limited, although the provisions of father-specific spaces such as fathers' antenatal classes or "responsible fathering" programs are important advances. This article explores how men use the social space of a father-specific Internet chat room to learn about fathering. Messages to an Australian-hosted, father-specific chat room (for fathers of infants or young children) were examined, and three overlapping themes illustrated men's perceptions of their transition to fatherhood. The themes concerned recognition of and response to a lack of social space, services, and support for new fathers. The implications for fathers' perinatal education are discussed.

Fifteen fathers were interviewed, and content analysis was used for the analysis. The theme illustrated that fathers were a resource for both mother and child through practical and emotional engagement. The categories describe how the father empowers the mother and illustrates adapting to new family roles. Following complicated birth, fathers should be invited to stay around-the-clock on postnatal wards because it gives them the opportunity to place their resources at the disposal of mother and child. In antenatal courses, fathers should be prepared for their empowering role after a complicated birth.

Prenatal tobacco exposure has been demonstrated to negatively affect infant health outcomes. Many smoking cessation interventions have been targeted at women who smoke in pregnancy, although research has indicated that one of the main barriers to cessation is lack of partner support. The family systems theory frames prenatal smoking cessation interventions in an inclusive manner for the woman and her partner. The aim of this article is to review smoking cessation intervention studies for partners of pregnant women. Efforts to promote smoking cessation among pregnant women should be inclusive of partners, recognizing that partners influence maternal prenatal health behaviors.

On the basis of ethnographic material and interviews with professionals facilitating FTPRAs in Denmark, we draw attention to the active engagement of health professionals in this process. Current professional and policy debate over the use of prenatal testing emphasises the need for informed choice making and for services that provide prospective parents with what is referred to as 'non-directive counselling'. Studies focusing on professional practice of prenatal counselling tend to deal mainly with how professionals fail to live up to such ideals in practice. In this article we extend such studies by drawing attention to practices of care in prenatal testing and counselling. In doing so, we identify three modes of 'doing' good care: attuning expectations and knowledge, allowing resistance and providing situated influence in the relationship between the pregnant woman and the professional. Such practices may not be seen as immediately compatible with the non-directive ethos, but they express ways of reducing emotional suffering and supporting a pregnant woman's ability to make meaningful choices on the basis of uncertain knowledge. As such, these practices can be seen as representing another (caring) solution to the problem of paternalism and authoritarian power. In opposition to an ethics aiming at non-interference (non-directiveness) such modes of doing good care express an ethics of being locally accountable for the ways in which programmes of prenatal testing intervene in pregnant women's lives and of taking responsibility for the entities and phenomena that emerge through such knowledge production.

AB - AIM: to compare parents who underwent a mental training program during pregnancy with a control group to measure feelings and experiences during pregnancy and birth and perceived parental stress. AB - METHODS: A comparative pilot study of 46 self-selected parents who underwent a mental training program during pregnancy, and 1408 parents living in the same catchment area (control group). Data was collected in mid-pregnancy, 2 months and 1 year after birth. The main outcome was parental stress. AB - RESULTS: Parents in the mental training group were more often expecting their first baby and had a higher level of education compared to parents in the control group. Parents participating in the mental training program had less positive feelings about expecting a baby (OR 14.0; 6.7-29.3), the upcoming birth (OR 2.0; 1.1-3.8) and the newborn baby (OR 3.1; 1.6-6.2). Parents who attended the mental training program attended an antenatal parent education to a higher degree (OR 2.0; 1.6-2.4) and were more likely to stay in contact with other participants in the antenatal education (OR 4.1; 1.9-8.6). Mothers in the mental training program used psycho prophylaxis to a higher extent (OR 3.0; 1.2-7.1) There was no difference in the birth experience or the perceived parental stress. AB - CONCLUSION: Participating in a mental training program for birth and parenthood was not associated with the birth experience or the assessment of parental stress 1 year after birth.

AB - RESULTS: The average age of participants was 31.4 (SD 6.1) and their stage of pregnancy ranged from 24-38 weeks. 83.5% were expecting their first child. 93.5% reported that they used the Internet on a regular basis and no significant difference was found between men and women. Amongst Internet users, 97.7% sought, at some point, information on pregnancy on the Internet and 26.9% had done so in the last 24 hours. The Internet was the most popular source of information on pregnancy topics (18.5% of women and 25.8% of men used it as their primary source of information) after a physician. Commercial websites were more frequently used by people looking for information on pregnancy than sites maintained by not-for-profit organisations or professional unions. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The Internet is widely used as a source of information amongst participants of antenatal classes, both male and female. Approximately 95% have used it at some point to find information during pregnancy, but the majority (approximately 90%) had no knowledge of websites run by not-for-profit organisations and preferred commercial websites. Relevance to clinical practice. Instead of disregarding the use of the Internet as a source of information during pregnancy, midwives should keep up to date and give their patients links to high-quality sites.

Fathers' state of mind during early labour is explored. Anxiety levels are found to be high, particularly in regard to the wellbeing of their partners and babies. Attending antenatal classes does not appear to diminish anxiety and often, nor does speaking to a midwife in early labour. These results require cautious interpretation but also suggest that men need better preparation for their role in supporting mothers during labour.

To better understand which factors influence engagement, this study examines several predictors of couple engagement in Family Foundations (FF), a preventive intervention for first-time parents shown to enhance parent mental health, couple relations, parenting quality, and child adjustment through age 3 years. FF consists of a series of classes delivered through childbirth education departments at local hospitals. Baseline data on socio-demographics, parent mental health, and couple relationship quality were examined as predictors of participants' level of engagement in FF (n = 89 couples, 178 individuals). Sociodemographic variables such as parent gender, socioeconomic status, and age predicted program engagement to a limited extent. However, findings indicated that marital status was the best predictor of engagement. Discussion focuses on how findings can inform the development of practices that promote engagement, such as the use of targeted outreach efforts for individuals most at risk of disengagement.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether cell turnover is affected in the hippocampus-hypothalamus-pituitary axis by subchronic prenatal stress and the intracellular mechanisms involved. Restraint stress was performed in pregnant rats during the last week of gestation (45 minutes; 3 times/day). Only male offspring were used for this study and were sacrificed at 6 months of age. In prenatally stressed adults a decrease in markers of cell death and proliferation was observed in the hippocampus, hypothalamus and pituitary. This was associated with an increase in insulin-like growth factor-I mRNA levels, phosphorylation of CREB and calpastatin levels and inhibition of calpain -2 and caspase -8 activation. Levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 were increased and levels of the pro-apoptotic factor p53 were reduced. In conclusion, prenatal restraint stress induces a long-term decrease in cell turnover in the hippocampus-hypothalamus-pituitary axis that might be at least partly mediated by an autocrine-paracrine IGF-I effect. These changes could condition the response of this axis to future physiological and pathophysiological situations.

AB - BACKGROUND: Several studies indicate adolescent fatherhood is associated with multiple risk factors. Despite this, it is well documented that these young males have a potentially vital role in the lives of their child/ren and partners. Adolescent pregnancy has often been viewed with a particular emphasis on the mother and relatively little is known about the experiences and expectations of young males facing imminent fatherhood. AB - DESIGN: Narrative methods were used to collect qualitative data. AB - METHOD: Narratives were elicited through in-depth interviews with seven adolescent expectant fathers aged 16-22 years. AB - RESULTS: Impending fatherhood presented these young men with mixed emotions and many challenges. The pregnancies were all unplanned and though participants were all willing to face the responsibilities associated with fatherhood, they also reported feeling ill-prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Impending fatherhood had caused the young men to reflect on the quality of fathering they had received themselves. The young men were hoping to provide their own infant with a better quality of fathering than they had experienced. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Nurses and midwives are ideally placed to provide support to young men facing impending fatherhood to better prepare them to meet the demands of their forthcoming role. AB - RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Prenatal classes should include specific sessions for prospective fathers and provide opportunities to assist young men to discuss their thoughts and concerns about impending fatherhood. It could also be useful to encourage young expectant fathers to engage in discussions with their own fathers and grandfathers. For those young men who do not have effective relationships with their own fathers, it could be useful to organise mentoring with experienced mature men who have successfully engaged in the fatherhood role.

Recent research from a range of disciplines (including neurodevelopment, developmental psychology and genetics) has highlighted the importance of childhood, and particularly the first few years of life, for future mental, social and emotional development. The quality of the parent-child relationship and parenting more generally is one of the factors in determining outcomes. The objective of this review was to identify effective interventions to support parents, parenting and the parent-child relationship from the ante-natal period to adolescence. A systematic search of key electronic databases was undertaken to identify systematic reviews evaluating approaches to parenting support; 52 systematic reviews were identified. Results were synthesized qualitatively and reported under the following headings: (i) perinatal programmes; (ii) parenting support programmes in infancy and early years focused on enhancing caregiver sensitivity and attunement; (iii) formal parenting programmes focused on children's behaviour; (iv) parenting support for highest risk groups. The review provides a robust international evidence base of programmes which have been demonstrated to improve parenting and the mental health and well-being of children. Policies and programmes to support parenting offer much scope for improving mental health. Effective provision requires a skilled workforce and careful application of approaches that have been found to work. More research is needed to develop and identify interventions for some of the highest risk groups.

We examined the interaction between serotonin transporter (5-HTT) genotype, prenatal and postnatal stress on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA expression, corticosteroid stress responses, and behavior in adult male rats. Prenatal stress involved a daily restraint of pregnant dams from gestational Day 10-21. Postnatal stress involved raising pups after parturition either by their mothers (MR) or in the artificial rearing (AR) paradigm, with or without additional "licking-like" stroking stimulation. 5-HTT genotype, hippocampal GR mRNA level, corticosteroid stress response, and behaviors including startle response, prepulse inhibition (PPI), and locomotor activity were measured in adult male rat offspring. We found significant genotype by prenatal stress interactions for hippocampal GR mRNA levels and for the corticosterone stress responses in adulthood. In contrast, behavioral endpoints tended to be more clearly affected by an interaction between genotype and postnatal environment. These findings suggest that allelic variation in the 5-HTT gene interacts with the prenatal environment to affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis physiology and the postnatal environment to affect behavior. These results are the first to indicate a role for genetic variation in the 5-HTT gene in physiology and behavior in the rat.

These are determined by many factors, some of which are maternal characteristics, including the following: maternal iron stores at her own birth and during her own early life, maternal growth and development, maternal age at conception, intergenesic intervals, maternal body characteristics and iron status at conception and during early pregnancy, gestational body weight gain, and iron status throughout gestation, particularly at conception and early pregnancy, and gestational body weight gain. Although less studied, paternal influences on the initiation and progression of pregnancy and on maternal environmental exposures are also important. Even though tools for the quantitative evaluation of women's iron status are very well developed, the quantitative estimation of body iron in the newborn and young infant remains a challenge. This article describes the crucial role played by the placenta in protecting the embryo and the fetus. In addition, neonatal health, particularly early in pregnancy, is briefly addressed, as are some important aspects of antenatal nutritional interventions that include iron.

We aimed to evaluate if Irish fathers felt included in the breastfeeding education and decision process. 67 fathers completed questionnaires, which assessed their role in the decision to breastfeed, knowledge regarding the benefits of breastfeeding and attitude towards breastfeeding.Forty-two (62.7%) of their partners were breastfeeding. Antenatal classes were attended by 38 (56.7%); 59 (88.1%) discussed breastfeeding with their partners and 26 (38.8%) felt that the decision was made together. Twelve (48%) fathers of formula fed infants were unaware that breastfeeding was healthier for the baby. Most fathers (80.6%) felt that breastfeeding was the mother's decision and most (82.1%) felt that antenatal information was aimed at mothers only. Irish fathers remain relatively uninformed regarding the benefits of breastfeeding. This may contribute to their exclusion from the decision to breastfeed. Antenatal education should incorporate fathers more, and this may result in an improvement in our breastfeeding rates.

Fathers' state of mind during early labour is explored. Anxiety levels are found to be high, particularly in regard to the wellbeing of their partners and babies. Attending antenatal classes does not appear to diminish anxiety and nor does speaking to a midwife in early labour. These results require cautious interpretation but also suggest that men need better preparation for their role in supporting mothers during labour.

AB - METHOD: Admissions to the Birmingham Mother and Baby Unit from 1998 to 2007 were reviewed. Demographic and clinical information, social services involvement and parenting outcome data were collected from case notes and computerized records. AB - RESULTS: One hundred and forty six (146) women received some form of social services input (32%); 44 cases of separate discharge were identified (10%). Diagnosis, involuntary admission, single status, younger age, Afro-Caribbean ethnicity and social services referral predicted parenting concern. Only 9% of separations were to women suffering a new postpartum mental illness; most were to women experiencing the continuation of an existing illness. Poor parenting skills, absence of a good partner relationship and alcohol/substance misuse were frequently reported in those discharged without their baby. AB - CONCLUSION: The incidence of separate discharge is lower than in other studies. Potential reasons for this difference are discussed. Further work must be conducted to understand the social inequities and regional differences in social service intervention during perinatal psychiatric admission and determine if parenting outcomes can be improved in women at risk of separation.

Respondents were recruited via the Fatherhood Institute website and by contacting children's centres. Two hundred and sixty three men from diverse backgrounds responded. Approximately two fifths had found that early labour matched up to their expectations, but many fathers had been greatly or somewhat surprised by what happened. In terms of deciding when to leave home and go to the hospital or birth centre, fathers did not generally see themselves as the primary decision makers, but half had been either primarily or jointly responsible for the decision. There is therefore a strong case for ensuring that expectant fathers are given information when attending clinics or antenatal classes with their partners to help them understand the latent phase of labour and signs of established labour.

Hegemonic imagery of men portray them as capable, confident and able which can disadvantage expectant fathers who often struggle to make sense of the changes occurring around and within their own parenting journey. Although fathers historically have not been included in breastfeeding classes, antenatal education programs can be an opportunity to inform and support them in their new role. Forty-five antenatal sessions for fathers (n = 342) of 1h duration were conducted by five male educators between May 2008 and June 2009 in Perth, Western Australia. A theoretical framework from health promotion literature was used as a guide in the program's development. Fathers in the intervention group gained information about their role, the importance of communication and the benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and baby. An evaluation was obtained from fathers immediately after the session and again at 6 week post-birth, whilst mothers reported on the perception of their partners' support for breastfeeding in the 6 week survey. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and process evaluation of a perinatal education and support program for fathers to assist their partners to breastfeed.

Although the physiological mechanisms involved in this 'perinatal programming' remain largely unknown, alterations of stress neuroendocrine systems such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and sympathoadrenal axes might play a crucial role. Despite recent reports showing that maternal perinatal undernutrition disturbs chromaffin cells organisation and activity in male rats at weaning, its long-term effects on adrenal medulla in adult animals are unknown. Using a rat model of maternal perinatal 50% food restriction (FR50) from the second week of gestation until weaning, histochemistry approaches revealed alterations in noradrenergic chromaffin cells aggregation and in cholinergic innervation in the adrenal medulla of 8-month-old FR50 rats. Electron microscopy showed that chromaffin cell granules exhibited ultrastructural changes in FR50 rats. These morphological changes were associated with reduced circulating levels and excretion of catecholamines. By contrast, catecholamine plasma levels were significantly increased after a 16 or 72 h of fasting, indicating that the responsiveness of the sympathoadrenal system to food deprivation was accentuated in FR50 adult rats. Among 384 pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide-sensitive genes, we identified 129 genes (33.6%) that were under expressed (ratio < 0.7) in FR50 animals. A large number of these genes are involved in cytoskeleton remodelling and vesicle trafficking. Taken together, our results show that maternal perinatal undernutrition programmes adrenomedullary function and gene expression in adult male rats. Because catecholamines contribute to metabolic homeostasis, as well as arterial blood pressure regulation, the alterations observed in the adrenal medulla of adult male FR50 rats may participate in the programming of chronic adult diseases.

In the current article, we argue that greater insight, integration of knowledge, and empirical achievement in the study of family conflict can be realized by utilizing a powerful theory from evolutionary biology that is barely known within psychology: parent-offspring conflict theory (POCT). In the current article, we articulate POCT for psychological scientists, extend its scope by connecting it to the broader framework of life history theory, and draw out its implications for understanding conflict within human families. We specifically apply POCT to 2 instances of early mother-offspring interaction (prenatal conflict and weaning conflict); discuss the effects of genetic relatedness on behavioral conflict between parents, children, and their siblings; review the emerging literature on parent-offspring conflict over the choice of mates and spouses; and examine parent-offspring conflict from the perspective of imprinted genes. This review demonstrates the utility of POCT, not only for explaining what is known about conflict within families but also for generating novel hypotheses, suggesting new lines of research, and moving us toward the "big picture" by integrating across biological and psychological domains of knowledge.

AB - DESIGN: a qualitative study using individual, in-depth interviews for data collection. AB - SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: 24 nurses providing antenatal care to pregnant smokers attending public sector clinics in five major cities in South Africa. AB - FINDINGS: three archetypes of midwives, characterised by different styles of communication and approaches to smoking cessation, emerged from the analysis of the interview data. These were described as the 'Angry Scolders', the 'Benign Carers' and the 'Enthusiastic Friends'. The first type conformed to the traditional, authoritarian style of communication, where the midwife assumed a dominant, expert role. When women failed to comply with their advice, these midwives typically became angry and confrontational. The second type of midwife used a paternalistic communication style and emphasised the role of education in changing behaviour. However, these midwives had little confidence that they could influence women to quit. The third type embraced a patient-centred approach, consciously encouraging more interaction with their patients and attempting to understand change from their point of view. These midwives were optimistic of women's capacity to change and more satisfied with their current health education efforts than the first two types. The Benign Carers and Enthusiastic Friends were more open to participation in the potential intervention than the Angry Scolders. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: the prevailing traditional, authoritarian style of communication is inappropriate for smoking cessation education and counselling as it provokes resistance and avoidance on the part of pregnant smokers. The paternalistic approach appears to be largely ineffectual, whereas the patient-centred approach elicits the most positive response from pregnant women and enhances the possibility of a trusting and cooperative relationship with the midwife. Midwives using this style are more open to fulfilling their role in smoking cessation. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: smoking cessation interventions need to attend to not only what midwives say to pregnant women about smoking, but also how they communicate about the issue. The use of a patient-centred approach, such as brief motivational interviewing, is recommended as a means of improving counselling outcomes among pregnant smokers. AB - Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) epistemology and methodology were adopted as the study was focused on understanding the meaning and experiences of this transition for fathers. Nine participants were recruited from seven NCT antenatal classes. The mean age of participants was 38 years (range=30 to 46 years). Participants completed a semi-structured interview between four and eleven weeks post birth. One overarching superordinate theme was derived: 'searching for a place'. This theme consisted of three sub-themes--'the separation connection struggle', 'a sense of utility, agency and control' and 'changing focus of affection'. The findings expand on our understanding of new fathers' experiences, and suggest that first-time fathers experienced an array of psychological responses during each stage of their transition as they searched for their place as father in relation to their partner, child and work. Professionals working in antenatal and postnatal services should discuss with men the possible emotional and psychological changes they may go through to enable more realistic expectations to be considered.

Using a model of prenatal maternal 70% food restriction diet (FR30) in rat, we evaluated whether postweaning high-fat (HF) diet would amplify the phenotype observed under standard diet. We investigated biological parameters as well as gene expression profile focusing on white adipose tissues (WAT) of adult offspring. FR30 procedure does not worsen the metabolic syndrome features induced by HF diet. However, FR30HF rats displayed catch-up growth to match the body weight of adult control HF animals, suggesting an increase of adiposity while showing hyperleptinemia and a blunted increase of corticosterone. Using quantitative RT-PCR array, we demonstrated that FR30HF rats exhibited leptin and Ob-Rb as well as many peptide precursor and receptor gene expression variations in WAT. We also showed that the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis was modified in FR30HF animals in a depot-specific manner. We observed an opposite variation of STAT3 phosphorylation levels, suggesting that leptin sensitivity is modified in WAT adult FR30 offspring. We demonstrated that 11beta-HSD1, 11beta-HSD2, GR, and MR genes are coexpressed in WAT and that FR30 procedure modifies gene expression levels, especially under HF diet. In particular, level variation of 11beta-HSD2, whose protein expression was detected by Western blotting, may represent a novel mechanism that may affect WAT glucocorticoid sensitivity. Data suggest that maternal undernutrition differently programs the adult offspring WAT gene expression profile that may predispose for altered fat deposition.

Antenatal therapy with corticosteroids is often used in clinical practice during this period to accelerate lung maturation in preterm-risk pregnancies. Clinical and animal studies highlighted major behavioral impairments induced later in life by these treatments, especially when synthetic corticosteroids are used. AB - AIM: To evaluate the implications of acute prenatal treatment with natural vs. synthetic corticosteroids on adult male rat sexual behavior and its neurochemical correlates. AB - METHODS: Twelve pregnant Wistar rats were injected with dexamethasone (DEX-1 mg/kg), corticosterone (CORT-25 mg/kg), or saline on late gestation (pregnancy days 18 and 19). Following this brief exposure to corticosteroids, we assessed the sexual behavior of the adult male progeny and subsequently associated these behaviors with the levels of catecholamines and mRNA of dopamine and androgen receptors (AR) in brain regions relevant for sexual behavior. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Sexual behavior of adult male offspring was assessed by exposure to receptive females. This was associated with serum testosterone levels and levels of catecholamines (determined by high-performance liquid chromatography) and dopamine and AR mRNA expression (real-time polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) in brain regions implicated in sexual behavior. AB - RESULTS: Prenatal DEX exposure resulted in a decreased number and increased mounts and intromissions latencies in adulthood. These findings were associated with decreased levels of serum testosterone and increased hypothalamic expression of AR mRNA. DEX animals also displayed lower dopamine levels and higher dopamine receptor mRNA expression both in hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). The milder phenotype of CORT animals was associated only with decreased dopamine levels in NAcc. AB - CONCLUSION: Antenatal corticotherapy programs adult male sexual behavior through changes in specific neuronal and endocrine mediators. Importantly, equipotent doses of CORT trigger less detrimental consequences than DEX, emphasizing the differential impact of activation of the different corticosteroid receptors.

Further, these outcomes can persist into subsequent generations, raising the possibility that aspects of heritability in these diseases involve epigenetic mechanisms. Utilizing a mouse model in which we previously identified a period in early gestation when stress results in dysmasculinized and stress-sensitive male offspring, we have examined programming effects in second-generation offspring of prenatally stressed (F2-S) or control (F2-C) sires. Examination of gene expression patterns during the perinatal sensitive period, when organizational gonadal hormones establish the sexually dimorphic brain, confirmed dysmasculinization in F2-S males, where genes important in neurodevelopment showed a female-like pattern. Analyses of the epigenomic miRNA environment detected significant reductions in miR-322, miR-574, and miR-873 in the F2-S male brain, levels that were again more similar to those of control females. Increased expression of a common gene target for these three miRNAs, beta-glycan, was confirmed in these males. These developmental effects were associated with the transmission of a stress-sensitive phenotype and shortened anogenital distance in adult F2-S males. As confirmation that the miRNA environment is responsive to organizational testosterone, neonatal males administered the aromatase inhibitor formestane exhibited dramatic changes in brain miRNA patterns, suggesting that miRNAs may serve a previously unappreciated role in organizing the sexually dimorphic brain. Overall, these data support the existence of a sensitive period of early gestation when epigenetic programming of the male germline can occur, permitting transmission of specific phenotypes into subsequent generations.

AB - METHODS: We evaluated the effectiveness of an antenatal intervention which targeted risk factors for poor postnatal adjustment, with the dual aim of reducing both postnatal symptoms of depression/anxiety and parenting difficulties (a nine-unit self-guided workbook with weekly telephone support). Based on an initial feasibility study (n=200) which confirmed a low level of help-seeking among distressed women during pregnancy, an additional community networking component was developed aimed at increasing social support and access to health professionals to facilitate treatment of current antenatal depression/anxiety, if present. In the evaluation of a second version of the intervention, pregnant women (n=143) were randomly allocated to receive either the intervention or routine care. AB - RESULTS: Following the antenatal intervention there were significantly fewer cases scoring above threshold for mild-to-severe depression/anxiety symptoms postnatally compared to routine care, along with a trend towards reduced parenting stress. The community networking component appeared helpful and women with higher baseline depression scores showed higher levels of help-seeking in both intervention and routine care groups. AB - LIMITATIONS: It was not possible to evaluate the efficacy of individual program components separately. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide support for the effectiveness of the Towards Parenthood intervention both as a preparation for parenthood program and in reducing symptoms of postnatal depression/anxiety.

Nepalese mothers and their children continue to dispense with (or be denied) antenatal care, experience high maternal mortality rates and suffer chronic malnutrition. We address the correlates and consequences of antenatal care utilization in Nepal by applying two-stage least squares, binomial logit and Heckman selection bias estimates to data drawn from the Nepal Health and Demographic Surveys of 1996 and 2001. Results indicate that maternal education, even at low levels, significantly increases the use of antenatal care; paternal education plays a more important role in the use of routine antenatal care than the conventional wisdom suggests; and when mothers use routine professional antenatal care and maintain good health their children tend to stay healthy through infancy and early childhood. Since health-seeking behaviour is circumscribed by patriarchal gender norms in Nepal, health policies should not only focus on female education and women's status, but also involve husbands in the process of maternal care utilization.

AB - AIMS: (1) To report the longitudinal patterns of depression from the third trimester of pregnancy to 1 year after childbirth; (2) to determine the gender differences between women and their partners in the effect of psychosocial and personal factors on postpartum depression. AB - METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study was carried out over a consecutive sample of 769 women in their third trimester of pregnancy and their partners attending the prenatal programme in the Valencian Community (Spain) and follow-up at 3 and 12 months post partum. The outcome variable was the presence of depression at 3 or 12 months post partum measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Predictor variables were: psychosocial (marital dissatisfaction, confidant and affective social support) and personal (history of depression, partner's depression and negative life events, depression during the third trimester of pregnancy) variables. Logistic regression models were fitted via generalised estimating equations. AB - RESULTS: At 3 and 12 months post partum, 9.3% and 4.4% of mothers and 3.4% and 4.0% of fathers, respectively, were newly diagnosed as having depression. Low marital satisfaction, partner's depression and depression during pregnancy increased the probability of depression during the first 12 months after birth in mothers and fathers. Negative life events increased the risk of depression only among mothers. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Psychosocial and personal factors were strong predictors of depression during the first 12 months post partum for both mothers and fathers.

This emphasises the importance of preparation for parenthood. A Department of Health-commissioned review found provision and uptake of antenatal education to be variable, and so brought a group of experts together to consider Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond. This paper provides an overview of the learning from the expert group's work, offering a new framework that professionals may use to plan effective local programmes and services.

AB - METHODS: Fifty women with pregnancies of gestational ages of between 25 and 32 weeks were admitted to a tertiary care perinatal referral centre and provided with an antenatal consultation about the medical risks and treatments relative to their potentially premature infant. Within 48 h following the consultation, patients were asked to respond to a questionnaire to assess their recall of the information provided, their information expectations and their anxiety level. AB - RESULTS: The majority of respondents (92%) thought that the antenatal consultation increased their knowledge and understanding of what might happen if their infant was born preterm. Although the mean state anxiety score was high, 78% agreed that the consultation relieved some of their worry and anxiety about their baby. In rank order, respondents wanted information about chances of survival, likely medical problems and the risk for disability, followed by medical treatments and breastfeeding. They consistently recalled receiving information about chances of survival, likely medical problems and medical treatments. AB - CONCLUSION: Following the antenatal consultation, respondents were generally satisfied with the information provided but remained highly anxious. Recall of the discussion about disability was inconsistent. They reported needing an opportunity to express their feelings, and to talk about their baby and their anticipated interaction with their baby. Recognizing these aspects can help to improve physician-patient communication.

This particular technique has been used in Western Quebec in order to reveal the opinions, needs, and feelings of health professionals and future parents concerning prenatal education. As part of the region's priorities for 2002, all future parents in this part of the province were to be offered prenatal, government-paid, community health education. Consequently, the Ministry of Health at the regional level sought a customized program for all community centers, based on identified regional needs and recent research. This program had to prove to be innovative, user-friendly, effective, and efficient. After reviewing the literature and conducting discussions with representatives from all regional health agencies throughout the province, the author of this article designed and conducted focus groups with perinatal health professionals from all community centers and hospitals of the Outaouais region. Later, focus groups were also conducted with parents. Following the analysis of the data and comparisons with existing resources, the author of this paper designed and proposed a specific program aimed at the empowerment of future parents. This paper reports the original problem and its context, the research methodology, and the proposed program (underlying philosophy, objectives, content, and educational techniques).

The resulting fetal thrombocytopenia (reduced platelet numbers) may cause bleeding, particularly into the brain, before or shortly after birth. Antenatal treatment of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia includes the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and/or corticosteroids to the mother to prevent severe fetal thrombocytopenia. IVIG and corticosteroids both have short-term and possibly long-term side effects. IVIG is also costly and optimal regimens need to be identified. AB - OBJECTIVES: To determine the optimal antenatal treatment of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia to prevent fetal and neonatal haemorrhage and death. AB - SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (28 February 2011) and bibliographies of relevant publications and review articles. AB - SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled studies comparing any intervention with no treatment, or comparing any two interventions. AB - DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two review authors independently assessed eligibility, trial quality and extracted data. AB - MAIN RESULTS: We included four trials involving 206 people. One trial involving 39 people compared a corticosteroid (prednisone) versus IVIG alone. In this trial, where analysable data were available, there was no statistically significant differences between the treatment arms for predefined outcomes. Three trials involving 167 people compared IVIG plus a corticosteroid (prednisone in two trials and dexamethasone in one trial) versus IVIG alone. In these trials there was no statistically significant difference in the findings between the treatment arms for predefined outcomes (intracranial haemorrhage; platelet count at birth and preterm birth). Lack of complete data sets and important differences in interventions precluded the pooling of data from these trials. AB - AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The optimal management of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia remains unclear. Lack of complete data sets for two trials and differences in interventions precluded the pooling of data from these trials which may have enabled a more developed analysis of the trial findings. Further trials would be required to determine optimal treatment (the specific medication and its dose and schedule). Such studies should include long-term follow up of all children and mothers.

AB - DESIGN AND SAMPLE: Cross-sectional study utilizing screening data collected between 2005 and 2008. Convenience sample of Medicaid-insured pregnant women enrolled in EPS selected from urban and rural providers. AB - MEASURES: A prenatal screening tool that included measures such as Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale-4, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, and Abuse Assessment Screen was used. AB - RESULTS: Logistic regressions showed that high perceived stress and lack of father support were associated with all types of abuse and abuse history. Women with risk factors, such as a positive depression screen (odds ratio [OR]=2.36), were associated with psychological abuse but not with physical abuse during pregnancy. Less than a 12th-grade education was associated with physical abuse (OR=1.64) but not psychological abuse during pregnancy. The amount or the timing of EPS participation was not significantly associated with abuse history or abuse during pregnancy. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors, such as high perceived stress and lack of father support, may alert nurses to further explore abuse during pregnancy. Additional research is needed for understanding the relationship between abuse and EPS participation.

Our objectives were to address this gap and examine cultural associations and beliefs concerning infant feeding practices among men. AB - METHODS: Five focus groups were conducted with low-income men (n = 28) living in areas of social deprivation in Leeds, northeast of England, and low-income areas of Glasgow, west of Scotland. Participants were white British men, aged between 16 and 45 years, and included fathers, expectant fathers, and potential fathers. AB - RESULTS: Overarching themes concerning sexuality, embarrassment, and social conduct were identified across all groups. Participants perceived breastfeeding as "natural" but problematic, whereas formula feeding was mainly considered as convenient and safe. Participants without direct experience of breastfeeding assumed that it involved excessive public exposure and attracted unwanted male attention. Underpinning these fears were strong cultural associations between breasts and sexuality and anxieties concerning appropriate gender roles. AB - CONCLUSIONS: In some communities few opportunities may occur to witness breastfeeding, and thus existing fears concerning the activity as attracting predatory male attention remain unchallenged. Perceptions of breastfeeding as a sexual activity and the dominant mass media emphasis on breasts as a sexual site may present additional obstacles to breastfeeding. Antenatal or perinatal education with men should address not only practical issues but also provide advice on tackling problems generated by wider sociocultural issues of sexuality and masculinity.

The purpose of this program evaluation was to identify and evaluate siblings' and grandparents' utilization of a hospital-based PBP's intergenerational support services and education offerings with regard to the entire family's coping with the loss. AB - METHODS: Written program evaluation surveys of parents and grandparents, with an opportunity for free response, along with parent phone follow-up, were utilized to evaluate whether a variety of inpatient/outpatient services for parents, siblings, and grandparents were useful to the entire family. AB - RESULTS: Parents indicated that when siblings and grandparents were included in the PBP's services and education offerings, utilization of the services was useful to the entire family. Furthermore, grandparents also found the utilization of the PBP's intergenerational services to be useful in their own and their child's coping with the loss. AB - CONCLUSION: This program evaluation affirms the usefulness of the offering of intergenerational inpatient and outpatient services by PBPs for entire families.

AB - BACKGROUND: Although the transition to motherhood and postnatal depression has been extensively studied, few studies compared maternal and paternal psychological health during the postnatal period. AB - DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was used. AB - METHODS: A total of 376 pairs of new parents participated in this study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used to measure depression, perceived stress and social support, respectively. We performed paired t-test and multiple regression to analyse the data. AB - RESULTS: No significant difference in the prevalence of postnatal depression was found between the new mothers and fathers (14.9 vs. 12.5%). Fathers experienced similar stress levels as mothers did, while they received lower level of social support than mothers. Perceived stress, social support and partner's Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score were significantly associated with depression for both mothers and fathers. Less sleeping time of infant and a tense relationship between mothers and mother-in-law were related to mothers' depression. The preference for a male baby was associated with fathers' depression. AB - CONCLUSION: Both new mothers and fathers experienced postnatal depression in China. AB - RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Clinical nurses should pay attention to psychological health among new parents during postnatal period. Perinatal services, such as antenatal and postnatal education and counselling, should also be provided for fathers. AB - Copyright © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

In this study, prenatal genetic counselors (N=128) were surveyed regarding their perceptions of genetic counseling sessions for adolescent (ages 13-19) and adult (ages 20-34) patients. Counselors perceived differences in methods used to communicate risk information for adolescent versus adult populations. Respondents reported that it is more difficult for adolescents to understand prognostic information than adults. They also noted differences between adult and adolescent populations with respect to the people who typically accompany the patient to the session. Respondents stated that adolescents were accompanied by a parent, friend, or sibling, which differed from adults who reportedly were accompanied by a significant other, father of the pregnancy, or by no one. These findings suggest it is important to recognize that adolescent patients are in a unique stage of their development which may influence a prenatal genetic counseling session.

AB - METHODS: We studied a Danish cohort of 3169 singleton females born in April 1984-April 1987. Linear regressions were conducted to examine associations between prenatal smoking or alcohol exposure and offspring's AOM on: (i) the daughters who provided data on both month and the year of menarche (n= 1634) and (ii) the entire sample that provided at least the year of menarche (n= 3169). We also examined associations between only pre-pregnancy smoking or childhood exposure to smoking and AOM. The full model was adjusted for maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, maternal age at childbirth, parental socio-economic status, parity, consumption of milk products during pregnancy and marital status. AB - RESULTS: Among those who provided both year and month, AOM was accelerated by 2.8 months (95% CI in months: -5.3, -0.4) among those exposed to 10+ cigarettes/day throughout pregnancy and by 4.1 months (95% CI in months: -7.7, -0.5) among those with mothers who quit smoking sometime during pregnancy, compared with the unexposed group after adjustment for covariates. Similar, but much weaker, associations were observed among girls whose mothers smoked 1-9 cigarettes/day throughout pregnancy or whose fathers smoked compared with their unexposed counterparts after adjustment for covariates [-0.8 months (95% CI: -2.6, 1.0)]. No associations were observed between AOM and only pre-pregnancy smoking or only childhood exposure or prenatal alcohol exposure. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that heavy smoking throughout the pregnancy may be important in prenatal programming of AOM.

AB - METHODS: Fifty ethnically diverse pregnant women who presented for routine prenatal care and who also reported being at risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) were recruited to the study. Participants were assigned to either usual care or the Video Doctor plus Provider Cueing intervention. At baseline and 1 month later at another routine prenatal visit, intervention group participants received a 15-minute Video Doctor assessment and interactive tailored counseling. Their providers received a printed Cue Sheet alert and suggested counseling statements. AB - MAIN FINDINGS: Participants in the intervention group were significantly more likely to report provider-patient discussions of IPV compared with participants receiving usual care at baseline (81.8% vs. 16.7%; p < .001) and at the 1-month follow-up (70.0% vs. 23.5%; p = .005). Summing the number of patient-provider discussions across the two visits at baseline and 1 month later, intervention participants were significantly more likely to have IPV risk discussion with their providers at one or both visits (90.0% vs. 23.6%; p < .001) compared with the participants who received usual care. When specifically asked about the helpfulness of these IPV-related discussions, 20 out of 22 (90.9%) participants rated the discussion as helpful or very helpful at baseline and all 18 (100%) participants rated the discussion as helpful or very helpful at the 1-month follow-up. AB - CONCLUSION: Video Doctor plus Provider Cueing intervention significantly increases the likelihood of provider-patient IPV discussion with pregnant women with a history of abuse.

Using vital records data from singleton births in Florida between 1998 and 2005, we generated odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and preventative fractions to assess the association between paternal involvement and infant mortality. Paternal involvement status was based on presence/absence of paternal first and/or last name on the birth certificate. Disparities in infant mortality were observed between and within racial/ethnic subpopulations. When compared to Hispanic (NH)-white women with involved fathers, NH-black women with involved fathers had a two-fold increased risk of infant mortality whereas infants born to black women with absent fathers had a seven-fold increased risk of infant mortality. Elevated risks of infant mortality were also observed for Hispanic infants with absent fathers (OR = 3.33. 95%CI = 2.66-4.17). About 65-75% of excess mortality could be prevented with increased paternal involvement. Paternal absence widens the black-white gap in infant mortality almost four-fold. Intervention programs to improve perinatal paternal involvement may decrease the burden of absent father-associated infant mortality.

This study aimed to assess the educational needs of men for their participation in PNC. This is a qualitative research study using focus group discussions. These were performed with eight groups of men and women in selected hospitals of Shahid Beheshti Medical Science University, Iran. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis methodology. The majority of participants gave the 'emotional support of women' as the most appropriate form of men's participation in PNC, and the 'long working hours of men' as the main barrier. The majority would prefer men's education to be about 'emotional support', 'physiological changes' and 'signs of risks' during pregnancy. The participants emphasized the need to consider couples' requirements when selecting the place, time and duration of education.

AB - METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of adolescent obstetric patients seen over a five-year period in the Young Prenatal Program at the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Ontario). AB - RESULTS: Between January 2003 and December 2007, 201 patients with 211 pregnancies attended the Young Prenatal Program. Of the 211 pregnancies reviewed, all patients had screening at baseline for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas; 173 patients were screened in the third trimester, two were tested at another point in the pregnancy because of symptoms, and 161 were screened at their postpartum visit. In 53 pregnancies, STI was diagnosed either during pregnancy or postpartum. Fourteen patients had multiple sexually transmitted infections for a total of 71 infections. Thirty-four infections were diagnosed at baseline, 15 in the third trimester, two because of symptoms, and seven were diagnosed postpartum. In patients who did not develop an STI during pregnancy, the previous use of contraception (excluding condoms), being in a relationship with the baby's father, and living with their partner were identified as significant protective factors against STI. There was a trend towards significance for contracting an STI in patients with a history of abuse, in those with a higher than average number of sexual partners, and in those with a younger than average age of coitarche. AB - CONCLUSION: Sexually transmitted infections were diagnosed in 25.1% of adolescent pregnancies (53/211) in our cohort. Of the 71 sexually transmitted infections diagnosed, 22.5% (16/71) were diagnosed on routine third trimester screening. Because of the high rates of STI and the small number of identified risk factors, routine repeat screening in the third trimester for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas is warranted in pregnant adolescents.

A sample of 169 heterosexual, adult couples expecting their first child was randomized to intervention and control conditions. The intervention families participated in Family Foundations, a series of eight classes delivered before and after birth, which was designed as a universal prevention program (i.e., applicable to all couples, not just those at high risk). Intent-to-treat analyses utilizing data collected from child age 6 months through 3 years indicated significant program effects on parental stress and self-efficacy, coparenting, harsh parenting, and children's emotional adjustment among all families, and maternal depression among cohabiting couples. Among families of boys, program effects were found for child behavior problems and couple relationship quality. These results indicate that a universal prevention approach at the transition to parenthood focused on enhancing family relationships can have a significant and substantial positive impact on parent and child well-being.

At initial evaluation, reproductive and medical histories were collected. Clinical assessment of the child was performed by a clinical geneticist and included a detailed personal history, physical evaluation and auxological measurements. To analyse how parents coped with specific events in the prenatal and postnatal periods, we conducted an interview that included 35 specific questions designed to elicit retrospective judgements on prenatal communication, present and future worries, needs and expectations. In a subset of probands, we also administered the formal Italian Temperament Questionnaire assessment test that investigates adaptation, general environment and socialisation. This test also assesses the emotional component of temperament. Clinical results in the affected children are similar to those previously reported with evidence of increased growth in the pre-puberal age and an average incidence of congenital malformation and health needs. Median age for the time first words were pronounced was 12 months, showing a slight delay in language skills, which tended to improve by the time they reached school age. Parental responses to the interview demonstrated residual anxiety but with a satisfactory adaptation to and a positive recall of the prenatal counselling session. Parental adaptation of the 47,XXX girls require indeed a proper educational support. This support seems to be available in Italy. An integrated approach to prenatal counselling is the best way to manage the anxiety and falsely imagined consequences that parents feel after being told that their foetus bears such a genetic abnormality.

AB - METHODS: Focus groups led to the development of six targeted Somali prenatal education videos. Topics include: preparation for pregnancy, nutrition and exercise, pregnancy myths/facts, the father's role, episiotomies, and caesarean sections. Somali participants were recruited to view programs, and completed an 8-item survey prior to regularly scheduled prenatal appointments. Following the clinical visit, providers completed a 4-item survey indicating the video's helpfulness in facilitating client-provider communication. AB - RESULTS: All study participants "strongly recommended" and rated the videos as "appropriate for Somali clients", 57% indicated the information was "just the right amount," and 60% found the videos "extremely helpful." The primary language spoken at home was Somali (72.7%) and 54.5% indicated Somali as the preferred language to receive health information. Providers indicated 24% of appointments were "more interactive" with 72% finding videos "somewhat" or "extremely helpful." AB - CONCLUSION: Preliminary results from this pilot study suggest that a video format for prenatal education is acceptable to Somali clients with most clients preferring video health education materials presented in the Somali language. AB - PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Culturally tailored health education video series for Somali women appear well for use in a clinic setting to facilitate client-provider communication.

This limited focus restricts programmes' effectiveness, and the opportunity to broaden prevention measures has largely been overlooked.Although prevention of vertical transmission is crucial, consideration of the family environment can enhance PMTCT. Family-centred approaches to HIV prevention and care present an important direction for preventing paediatric infections while improving overall family health. This paper reviews available literature on PMTCT programmatic models that have taken a broader or family-centred approach. We describe findings and barriers to the delivery of family-centred PMTCT and identify a number of promising new directions that may achieve more holistic services for children and families. AB - METHODS: Literature on the effectiveness of family-centred PMTCT interventions available via PubMed, EMBASE and PsycINFO were searched from 1990 to the present. Four hundred and three abstracts were generated. These were narrowed to those describing or evaluating PMTCT models that target broader aspects of the family system before, during and/or after delivery of an infant at risk of acquiring HIV infection (N = 14). AB - RESULTS: The most common aspects of family-centred care incorporated by PMTCT studies and programme models included counselling, testing, and provision of antiretroviral treatment for infected pregnant women and their partners. Antiretroviral therapy was also commonly extended to other infected family members. Efforts to involve fathers in family-based PMTCT counselling, infant feeding counselling, and general decision making were less common, though promising. Also promising, but rare, were PMTCT programmes that use interventions to enrich family capacity and functioning; these include risk assessments for intimate partner violence, attention to mental health issues, and the integration of early childhood development services. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Despite barriers, numerous opportunities exist to expand PMTCT services to address the health needs of the entire family. Our review of models utilizing these approaches indicates that family-centred prevention measures can be effectively integrated within programmes. However, additional research is needed in order to more thoroughly evaluate their impact on PMTCT, as well as on broader family health outcomes.

Peak depression prevalence occurred prenatally among 45.7% of IPV-exposed and 24.6% of non-IPV-exposed Latinas. At each assessment, depression was significantly higher for IPV-exposed compared to non-IPV-exposed mothers. Mastery and social support were associated with lower depression, whereas history of IPV, perceived stress, and avoidant coping behaviors were associated with higher depression. Findings support recommendations for routine depression and IPV screening of Latinas in perinatal clinical settings.

Social support has been found to have direct and positive effects on breastfeeding rates, and fathers' attitudes have an important influence on the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding. In the UK, trained maternity care assistants (MCAs) are increasingly being used to support community midwives by providing post-natal women with breastfeeding support. The current study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MCAs involving fathers from economically deprived communities in antenatal breastfeeding discussions to equip them to provide support and encouragement. Eleven couples who took part in the intervention were interviewed post-natally. MCAs, midwives and midwifery managers gave their views on the intervention and role of MCAs in the community. The study showed that MCAs with appropriate training are very effective at delivering antenatal breastfeeding information, which both mothers and other family members value. MCAs found giving such breastfeeding support both enjoyable and fulfilling, while involving fathers and family members proved a practical way of encouraging them to be more supportive. Midwives and midwifery managers were positive about involving MCAs in giving the antenatal intervention, but did not see the routine introduction of this type of session for couples being possible at present due to current staffing problems. Involving fathers in breastfeeding support may start to increase knowledge and change attitudes towards breastfeeding in communities where formula feeding is seen as the normal way to feed a baby.

AB - DESIGN: a qualitative approach was utilised using focus group interviews to collect the data. AB - SETTING: the study was conducted in one local health office area of the Health Service Executive-South East, Ireland. AB - PARTICIPANTS: a purposive sample of first-time mothers was interviewed to explore the area of antenatal education. These women included both attenders and non-attenders at antenatal education. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: the findings suggest there are many strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and barriers to antenatal education. Strengths of antenatal education included the facilitator of antenatal classes, the information and preparation received, and the social aspect of meeting other expectant mothers. Barriers to attendance at antenatal education included working night shifts, no interest, transport difficulties, inflexible employer, and partner not attending. A move away from didactic teaching methods and greater participation and involvement of parents was identified as necessary. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: fundamental issues related to the provision and of antenatal education were identified. A need for promotion and advertising of antenatal education was identified by the participants. Mothers identified specific needs such as the provision of postnatal classes and peer mentoring, flexible availability of classes, and facilitators utilising the principles of adult learning to guide classes. The mothers alluded to the importance of father's attendance and inclusion at classes. In view of the poor uptake of antenatal classes in Ireland, it is imperative that an approach to antenatal education is parent centred and needs driven. AB - Copyright 2008.

A cross-sectional analysis of the baseline survey of a prospective study was undertaken with an objective of determining the prevalence and socio-demographic factors associated with depressive morbidity during pregnancy in a Tanzanian peri-urban setting. Seven hundred and eighty seven second to third trimester pregnant women were recruited at booking for antenatal care at two primary health care clinics. Prenatal structured interviews assessed socio-economic, quality of partner relationships and selected physical health measures. Depressive symptoms were measured at recruitment and three and eight months postpartum using the Kiswahili version of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist. Completed antenatal measures available for 76.2% participants, showed a 39.5% prevalence of depression. Having a previous depressive episode (OR 4.35, P<0.01), low (OR 2.18, P<0.01) or moderate (OR 1.86, P=0.04) satisfaction with ability to access basic needs, conflicts with the current partner (OR 1.89, P<0.01), or booking earlier for antenatal care (OR 1.87, P=0.02) were independent predictors of antenatal depression in the logistic regression model; together explaining 21% of variance in depression scores. Attenuation of strength of multivariate associations suggests confounding between the independent risk factors and socio-demographic and economic measures. In conclusion, clinically significant depressive symptoms are common in mid and late trimester antenatal clinic attendees. Interventions for early recognition of depression should target women with a history of previous depressive episodes or low satisfaction with ability to access basic needs, conflict in partner relationships and relatively earlier booking for antenatal care. Findings support a recommendation that antenatal services consider integrating screening for depression in routine antenatal care.

AB - METHOD: The study sample comprised all women giving birth in Taiwan between 1999 and 2001; the dataset was created by linking birth certificate, death certificate, and National Health Insurance research databases. The deaths of the subjects were classified into 5 groups: stillbirths, early neonatal death, late neonatal death, postneonatal death, and early childhood death. A Cox proportional hazard regression was then performed on a pooled 3-year population-based dataset to examine the relationship between parental mental status and survival rates for children younger than 3 years, with the crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) being calculated. AB - RESULTS: Around 2316 affected children were compared with a general population of 605 107. No stillbirths were observed among any children of parents with schizophrenia or affective disorder. Mothers with affective disorder are prone to higher risk of child death, with a crude HR of 4.86 (95% confidence interval, 3.06-7.73), and a reduced adjusted HR of 3.51 (95% confidence interval, 2.22-5.57). However, fathers with affective disorder played no role. Children born to schizophrenic women have a significant higher risk of child death with a crude HR of 2.47, whereas those born to schizophrenic fathers have a similarly high risk with a crude HR of 2.69. AB - CONCLUSION: A focus needs to be placed on the identification and treatment of parental schizophrenia and affective disorder through antenatal and postnatal intervention, so as to reduce mortality risks for children exposed to risk during their first 3 years of life.

Using a model of perinatal maternal 50% food-restricted diet (FR50), we recently reported that rat neonates from undernourished mothers exhibit decreased leptin plasma levels associated with alterations of hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin system. The present study aimed at examining the consequences of FR50 on the brain-adipose axis in male rat neonates. Using quantitative RT-PCR array containing 84 obesity-related genes, we demonstrated that most of the genes involved in energy metabolism regulation are expressed in rat gonadal white adipose tissue (WAT) and are sensitive to maternal perinatal undernutrition (MPU). In contrast, hypothalamic gene expression was not substantially affected by MPU. Gene expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a marker of brown adipocytes, showed an almost 400-fold stimulation in postnatal day 21 (PND21) FR50 animals, suggesting that their gonadal WAT possesses a brown-like phenotype. This was confirmed by histological and immunoshistochemical procedures, which demonstrated that PND21 FR50 gonadal adipocytes are multilocular, resembling those present in interscapular brown adipose tissue, and exhibit an overexpression of UCP1 and neuropeptide Y (NPY) at the protein level. Control animals contained almost exclusively "classical" unilocular white adipocytes that did not show high UCP1 and NPY labeling. After weaning, FR50 animals exhibited a transient hyperphagia that was associated with the disappearance of brown-like fat pads in PND30 WAT. Our results demonstrate that MPU delays the maturation of gonadal WAT during critical developmental time windows, suggesting that it could have long-term consequences on body weight regulation in the offspring.

AB - DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. AB - SETTING: Public system of obstetric and pediatric care in Memphis, Tennessee. AB - PARTICIPANTS: A total of 594 urban primarily African American economically disadvantaged mothers (among 743 who registered during pregnancy). Intervention Prenatal and infancy home visiting by nurses. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mothers' cohabitation with and marriage to the child's biological father, intimate partner violence, duration (stability) of partner relationships, role impairment due to alcohol and other drug use, use and cost of welfare benefits, arrests, mastery, child foster care placements, and cumulative subsequent births. AB - RESULTS: By the time the firstborn child was 12 years old, nurse-visited mothers compared with control subjects reported less role impairment owing to alcohol and other drug use (0.0% vs 2.5%, P = .04), longer partner relationships (59.58 vs 52.67 months, P = .02), and greater sense of mastery (101.04 vs 99.60, P = .005). During this 12-year period, government spent less per year on food stamps, Medicaid, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families for nurse-visited than control families ($8772 vs $9797, P = .02); this represents $12 300 in discounted savings compared with a program cost of $11 511, both expressed in 2006 US dollars. No statistically significant program effects were noted on mothers' marriage, partnership with the child's biological father, intimate partner violence, alcohol and other drug use, arrests, incarceration, psychological distress, or reports of child foster care placements. AB - CONCLUSION: The program improved maternal life course and reduced government spending among children through age 12 years.

This article describes how one community-university collaboration used GIS for perinatal planning. AB - OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine whether utilizing GIS could help a community to identify risk and develop potential interventions to address perinatal health problems. AB - METHODS: We tested the use of GIS over a 9-month period, using community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods. Diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory guided this work. AB - RESULTS: This collaboration resulted in the development of a perinatal GIS model that helped community members to decide where to focus interventions and in continued use of GIS for planning. AB - CONCLUSION: Close collaboration early in the planning process, coupled with the incorporation of DOI theory, is necessary for communities to use GIS to plan perinatal interventions.

This study determined IPV prevalence and the association between IPV and positive syphilis tests among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in three provinces in Bolivia. AB - METHODS: We administered structured questionnaires to women after syphilis testing. The questionnaire included sociodemographic variables and four questions form the modified version of the Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) to assess physical and sexual violence. AB - RESULTS: Of 6002 women who completed the violence questionnaire and had a syphilis test, 20.4% (n=1227) reported physical or sexual abuse or both committed by their partner in the past year. Prevalence of positive syphilis tests was twice as high among women who reported IPV (8%) than among women who did not (4%) (p<0.01). Women's age (younger), education level (lower), occupation as homemaker, being in a consensual union, more previous pregnancies, lower economic status, and language spoken at home (Spanish and an indigenous language), as well as history of IPV in the past 12 months, were significantly associated with positive syphilis tests in bivariate analysis. History of IPV remained significantly associated with positive syphilis tests in multivariate analysis (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.23-2.07). In addition, low education among women's partners and having at least one previous pregnancy were positively associated with IPV in multivariate analysis. AB - CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant association between history of partner violence and a positive syphilis test among pregnant women, suggesting that syphilis can be an important negative health consequence of IPV. Bolivia's new maternal and infant health program in antenatal clinics, which includes universal syphilis screening, should also provide screening and follow-up care for IPV.

The current study investigated global maternal nutrient restriction during early or late gestation on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in the adult offspring when lean and obese. AB - METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Pregnant sheep received adequate (1.0M; CE, n = 6) or energy restricted (0.7M) diet during early (1-65 days; LEE, n = 6) or late (65-128 days; LEL, n = 7) gestation (term approximately 147 days). Subsequent offspring remained on pasture until 1.5 years when all received glucose and insulin tolerance tests (GTT & ITT) and body composition determination by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). All animals were then exposed to an obesogenic environment for 6-7 months and all protocols repeated. Prenatal dietary treatment had no effect on birth weight or on metabolic endpoints when animals were 'lean' (1.5 years). Obesity revealed generalised metabolic 'inflexibility' and insulin resistance; characterised by blunted excursions of plasma NEFA and increased insulin(AUC) (from 133 to 341 [s.e.d. 26] ng.ml(-1).120 mins) during a GTT, respectively. For LEL vs. CE, the peak in plasma insulin when obese was greater (7.8 vs. 4.7 [s.e.d. 1.1] ng.ml(-1)) and was exacerbated by offspring sex (i.e. 9.8 vs. 4.4 [s.e.d. 1.16] ng.ml(-1); LEL male vs. CE male, respectively). Acquisition of obesity also significantly influenced the plasma lipid and protein profile to suggest, overall, greater net lipogenesis and reduced protein metabolism. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates generalised metabolic dysfunction with adult-onset obesity which also exacerbates and 'reveals' programming of glucose-insulin sensitivity in male offspring prenatally exposed to maternal undernutrition during late gestation. Taken together, the data suggest that metabolic function appears little compromised in young prenatally 'programmed' animals so long as weight is adequately controlled. Nutritional excess in adulthood exacerbates any programmed phenotype, indicating greater vigilance over weight control is required for those individuals exposed to nutritional thrift during gestation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate how an education program for expectant fathers who attended their partners' labor and birth affected their anxiety. AB - METHODS: In a randomized controlled trial, 87 expectant fathers who attended their pregnant partners through labor and birth at a hospital in central Taiwan were allocated by block randomization to an experimental (n = 45) and a control (n = 42) group. The men completed their basic personal information, a childbirth expectations questionnaire, and a Trait Anxiety Inventory when they were recruited. Two hours after birth of their child, all the expectant fathers completed a State of Anxiety Inventory. AB - RESULTS: Our results showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups of fathers in trait anxiety and their prenatal childbirth expectations. After analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to correct for education level, sources of childbirth information, attendance at Lamaze childbirth classes, and childbirth expectations at baseline, the effect of the childbirth program was significant for the postnatal level of anxiety (F = 3.38, p = 0.001). AB - CONCLUSIONS: The study findings justify the clinical implementation of a birth education program based on the self-efficacy theory as an effective means of reducing anxiety among expectant fathers.

AB - METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled trial for which 1,044 women were recruited. Women were randomly assigned to receive either intervention (n=521) or usual care (n=523). Individually tailored counseling sessions were adapted from evidence-based interventions for intimate partner violence and other risks. Logistic regression was used to model intimate partner violence victimization recurrence and to predict minor, severe, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence. AB - RESULTS: Women randomly assigned to the intervention group were less likely to have recurrent episodes of intimate partner violence victimization (odds ratio [OR] 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29-0.80). Women with minor intimate partner violence were significantly less likely to experience further episodes during pregnancy (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26-0.86, OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.28-0.99) and postpartum (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.93). Numbers needed to treat were 17, 12, and 22, respectively, as compared with the usual care group. Women with severe intimate partner violence showed significantly reduced episodes postpartum (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.82); the number needed to treat was 27. Women who experienced physical intimate partner violence showed significant reduction at the first follow-up (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.27-0.91) and postpartum (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.27-0.82); the numbers needed to treat were 18 and 20, respectively. Women in the intervention group had significantly fewer very preterm neonates (1.5% intervention group, 6.6% usual care group; P=.03) and an increased mean gestational age (38.2+/-3.3 intervention group, 36.9+/-5.9 usual care group; P=.016). AB - CONCLUSION: A relatively brief intervention during pregnancy had discernible effects on intimate partner violence and pregnancy outcomes. Screening for intimate partner violence as well as other psychosocial and behavioral risks and incorporating similar interventions in prenatal care is strongly recommended.

One hundred sixty-nine couples, randomized to intervention and control conditions, participated in videotaped family observation tasks at pretest (during pregnancy) and at child age 1 year (2003-2007). Coparenting, parenting, couple relationship, and child self-regulatory behaviors were coded by teams of raters. Intent-to-treat analyses of program effects controlled for age, education, and social desirability. Evidence of significant (p < 0.05) program effects at follow-up emerged in all four domains. Effect sizes ranged from 0.28 to 1.01. Targeting the coparenting relationship at the transition to parenthood represents an effective, non-stigmatizing means of promoting parenting quality and child adjustment.

AB - METHODS: Parents referred to neonatology for prenatal consultation after the diagnosis of a congenital anomaly. Completed 2 qualitative interviews: the first within 1 week of the consultation and the second 1 week after delivery. Interviews were analyzed for themes by using the constant comparative method associated with the grounded theory method. AB - RESULTS: Thematic saturation was achieved after 42 interviews (22 women); only mothers participated. Five main themes emerged: (1) preparation; (2) knowledgeable physician; (3) caring providers; (4) allowing hope; and (5) time. Mothers believed that a consultation with a neonatologist helped them prepare for the perinatal course. They wished to know the management plan and all possible outcomes. Mothers wanted information specific to their situation and tailored to their knowledge base. Receiving conflicting information from physicians increased anxiety and eroded confidence. Seeing the NICU during the consultation was emotionally difficult but valuable. Mothers wanted realistic information, regardless of how grim, yet wanted to retain hope. All mothers would recommend a prenatal consultation with a neonatologist. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Mothers perceived that a consultation with a neonatologist, which included a NICU tour, prepared them for the perinatal course. Parents want realistic medical information, specific to their situation, provided in an empathetic manner and want to be allowed to hope for the best possible outcome.

Researchers analyzed differences in population characteristics (e.g., percentage of births at > or =2,500 g) for each group. Compared with their base populations, control participants did not differ in distributions of maternal or paternal age, previous livebirths, maternal smoking, or diabetes, but they did differ in other maternal (i.e., race/ethnicity, education, entry into prenatal care) and infant (i.e., birth weight, gestational age, and plurality) characteristics. Differences in distributions of maternal, but not infant, characteristics were associated with participation by selected controls. Absolute differences in infant characteristics for the base population versus control participants were < or =1.3 percentage points. Differences in infant characteristics were greater at centers that selected controls from hospitals compared with centers that selected controls from electronic birth certificates. These findings suggest that control participants in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study generally are representative of their base populations. Hospital-based control selection may slightly underascertain infants affected by certain adverse birth outcomes.

AB - DESIGN: Randomised controlled multicentre trial. AB - SETTING: Fifteen antenatal clinics in Sweden between January 2006 and May 2007. AB - SAMPLE: A total of 1087 nulliparous women and 1064 of their partners. AB - METHODS: Natural group: Antenatal education focussing on natural childbirth preparation with training in breathing and relaxation techniques (psychoprophylaxis). Standard care group: Standard antenatal education focussing on both childbirth and parenthood, without psychoprophylactic training. Both groups: Four 2-hour sessions in groups of 12 participants during third trimester of pregnancy and one follow-up after delivery. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Epidural analgesia during labour, experience of childbirth as measured by the Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire (B), and parental stress measured by the Swedish Parenthood Stress Questionnaire. AB - RESULTS: The epidural rate was 52% in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the experience of childbirth or parental stress between the randomised groups, either in women or men. Seventy percent of the women in the Natural group reported having used psychoprophylaxis during labour. A minority in the Standard care group (37%) had also used this method, but subgroup analysis where these women were excluded did not change the principal findings. AB - CONCLUSION: Natural childbirth preparation including training in breathing and relaxation did not decrease the use of epidural analgesia during labour, nor did it improve the birth experience or affect parental stress in early parenthood in nulliparous women and men, compared with a standard form of antenatal education.

Utilizing a repeated measures design, 112 couples recruited from childbirth education classes were assessed in third trimester and postpartum. Instruments included Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, General Sleep Disturbance Scale, wrist actigraphy, and an investigator-developed tool to assess infant temperament completed by mothers and fathers. Regardless of infant temperament, mothers who slept < 4 h between midnight and 6 am and mothers who napped < 60 min during the day were at increased risk for depression at three months postpartum. Infant temperament was associated with maternal sleep but was not a significant predictor of depressive symptoms after controlling for other contextual factors. Postpartum clinical visits should include questions about maternal sleep so interventions can be directed toward sufficient sleep to minimize risk of postpartum depression.

Identifying predictors of these outcomes in second teenage births is essential for developing preventive strategies. AB - METHODS: Birth certificate data for 1993-2002 were linked to identify second births to Milwaukee teenagers. Predictors of having a low-birth-weight second infant or a preterm second birth were identified using logistic regression. AB - RESULTS: The same proportion of first and second infants were low-birth-weight (12%), but second births were more likely than first births to be preterm (15% vs. 12%). In analyses that adjusted for demographic, pregnancy and behavioral characteristics, the odds that a second infant was low-birth-weight or preterm were elevated if the mother smoked during pregnancy (odds ratios, 2.2 and 1.9, respectively), had inadequate prenatal weight gain (1.8 and 1.4), had an interpregnancy interval of less than 18 months (1.6-2.9 and 1.4-2.3) or was black (2.7 and 1.7). Women who had received an adequate level of prenatal care had reduced odds of both outcomes (0.6 and 0.4). Women younger than 16 also had increased odds of having a low-birth-weight second infant. Further adjustment for socioeconomic characteristics yielded largely the same results. In addition, women who were unmarried or did not identify a father were at increased risk of both outcomes (1.5 for each), and poor women were at risk of having a low-birth-weight infant (1.3). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Predictors of poor birth outcomes include modifiable behaviors. Prenatal interventions addressing these behaviors could help improve outcomes.

We evaluated the effect of parental anthropometry and perinatal and neonatal morbidity of VLBW neonates on their childhood growth. AB - METHODS: We obtained parental anthropometry, height and weight at age 6-10.5 years of 334 children born as VLBW infants. Parental, perinatal and neonatal data of these children were tested for association with childhood anthropometry. AB - RESULTS: (1) Maternal and paternal weight standard deviation score (SDS) and discharge weight (DW) SDS were associated with childhood weight SDS (R(2)= 0.111, p < 0.00001); (2) Maternal and paternal height SDS, corrected gestational age (GA) at discharge, maternal assisted reproduction and SGA status were associated with childhood height SDS (R(2)= 0.208, p < 0.00001); (3) paternal weight SDS, DW SDS and surfactant therapy were associated with childhood body mass index (BMI) SDS (R(2)= 0.096, p < 0.00001). 31.1% of VLBW infants had DW SDS < -1.88, and are to be considered small for gestational age ('SGA'). One quarter of these infants did not catch up by age 6-10.5 years. AB - CONCLUSION: Childhood anthropometry of VLBW infants depends on parental anthropometry, postnatal respiratory morbidity and growth parameters at birth and at discharge. Almost one-third of VLBW premature infants had growth restriction at discharge from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a quarter of whom did not catch up by age 6-10.5 years.

Mothers' ages ranged from 19 to 43 years (M = 30, SD = 5.01) and their partners' ages ranged from 21 to 48 years (M = 32, SD = 6.02). Mothers were presented an opportunity to participate in this study during prenatal classes held at hospital and community health centers. The only requirement for participation was that the mother be residing with her child's father for the duration of the study. The six items of the modified index showed high internal consistency (alpha > .90) and substantial test-retest reliability with a Pearson zero-order correlation of .65 across the two administrations. Maximum likelihood factor analysis indicated moderate support for unidimensional factor structure for the modified index, but removing one item from the pre- and postnatal administration improved the factor structure. In the first administration, the last item (overall current satisfaction with partner) fit poorly with the factor structure, while at the second administration, the second item (our relationship is very stable) fit poorly. Possible implications of the results are discussed.

AB - METHODS: Information about social and demographic variables, prenatal care, parity, pregnancy planning, abortion attempts, satisfaction with pregnancy and satisfaction with the relationship with the child's father was collected from 611 postpartum women in Porto Alegre in southern Brazil. Multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between these variables and whether the women's use of prenatal care was adequate, partially inadequate or inadequate. AB - RESULTS: About 40% of women had inadequate or partially inadequate prenatal care. After adjustment for other covariates, including satisfaction with the pregnancy, women having an unplanned pregnancy were significantly more likely to have had inadequate care than women who had planned their pregnancy (odds ratio, 2.0). Not living with the child's father (2.8) and dissatisfaction with pregnancy (2.1) were also associated with inadequate use of prenatal care. Women having their second or higher order birth were significantly more likely to report inadequate use of prenatal care than women having their first birth (3.9-9.0). Household income was inversely associated with inadequate use of care. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests that maternal attitudes may be important for adequate prenatal care. Interventions should be created to encourage women with negative maternal attitudes to use prenatal care and to ensure that they have access to the care they need.

This interest developed from the observation that approximately 8% of domestic rams are sexually attracted to other rams (male-oriented) in contrast to the majority of rams that are attracted to oestrous ewes (female-oriented). One prominent feature of sexual differentiation in many species is the presence of a sexually dimorphic nucleus (SDN) in the preoptic/anterior hypothalamus that is larger in males than in females. Lesion studies in rats and ferrets implicate the SDN in the expression of sexual preferences. We discovered an ovine SDN (oSDN) in the preoptic/anterior hypothalamus that is smaller in male- than in female-oriented rams and similar in size to the oSDN of ewes. Neurones of the oSDN show abundant aromatase expression that is also reduced in male-oriented compared to female-oriented rams. This observation suggests that sexual partner preferences are neurologically hard-wired and could be influenced by hormones. Aromatase-containing neurones constitute a nascent oSDN as early as day 60 of gestation, which becomes sexually dimorphic by day 135 of gestation when it is two-fold larger in males than in females. Exposure of fetal female lambs to exogenous testosterone from days 30-90 of gestation resulted in a masculinised oSDN. These data demonstrate that the oSDN develops prenatally and may influence adult sexual preferences. Surprisingly, inhibition of aromatase activity in the brain of ram foetuses during the critical period did not interfere with defeminisation of adult sexual partner preference or oSDN volume. These results fail to support an essential role for neural aromatase in the sexual differentiation of sheep brain and behaviour. Thus, we propose that oSDN morphology and male-typical partner preferences may instead be programmed through an androgen receptor mechanism not involving aromatisation.

Parental covariates of age and education were also analysed. AB - METHODS: Through a national random selection, 21 648 babies were selected. Parental self perceived overall mental health was measured using 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and children's development using the Taiwan Birth Cohort Study (TBCS) instrument which measures gross motor, fine motor, language and social dimensions of children's development. AB - RESULTS: Both multiple linear regression and structural equation modeling showed that when the covariates of parental education and age at childbirth were added, the effect parental mental health has on children's development decreases. Additionally, maternal mental health had a more persistent and pervasive effect than paternal mental health. Father's mental health at six months had a delayed effect, in that its influence was seen only with children's development at 18 months. Of the three factors of parental mental health, education and age at childbirth, parental education had the most pervasive and persistent effect on children's development. AB - CONCLUSION: Although parental mental health has an effect on children's development, parental education and age at childbirth are vital confounding factors, which should be considered in future studies. Clinical health care providers should provide childcare resources and instructions to younger, less educated and parents with mental symptoms.

The objective of the study was to identify variables that account for this elevated risk. AB - METHODS: The dataset used included birth and death certificate records for all Alaska-resident live births and infant deaths occurring during 1992-2004. Race was defined as Alaska Native or non-Native. The association between race and postneonatal mortality was examined using univariate, stratified and regression analyses. Variables were considered confounding if they resulted in a change of at least 10% in the odds ratio between race and postneonatal mortality when added to a bivariate model, or when removed from a multivariate model. AB - RESULTS: In stratified analysis, race remained associated with postneonatal mortality within most categories of marital status, maternal education, maternal age, prenatal tobacco or alcohol use, prenatal care utilization, parity and residence. The odds ratio between race and postneonatal mortality was reduced to 1.3 (95% CI 1.0, 1.6) by controlling for education, a composite variable of marital status and the presence of father's name on the birth certificate, and prenatal tobacco or alcohol use. AB - CONCLUSIONS: A small number of potentially modifiable factors explain most of the postneonatal mortality disparity between Alaska Natives and non-Natives, leaving a relatively small increase in risk. These findings suggest that by targeting Alaska Native women who display these characteristics, the postneonatal mortality gap may be reduced.

However, in some countries, due to limited cultural acceptability and outdated delivery practices, fathers are not welcomed or even allowed into the delivery room. World experience postulates that men's active participation and assistance during childbirth accelerates the delivery process and improves delivery outcomes. Fathers' involvement also promotes positive feelings about the birth experience, fosters paternal role attainment, and strengthens family bonding. Despite documented advantages of fathers' involvement in pregnancy and childbirth, it still remains challenging to implement. The Healthy Women in Georgia (HWG) programme, promoting family-centred maternity care in Georgia, has demonstrated the efficiency of childbirth educational classes combined with modernized labour and delivery practices as a means of increasing fathers' participation in pregnancy care and childbirth. Moreover, HWG interventions have shown that fathers can effectively provide early skin-to-skin contact to caesarean section delivered infants, contributing to the heat conservation of the babies and minimizing the likelihood of hypothermia. Advanced labour and delivery practices, adequate antenatal education, and father's increased participation in pregnancy care and delivery promoted by the HWG programme has been shown to improve delivery outcomes, ultimately leading to better maternal and child health.

However, in spite of the accumulating evidence highlighting the importance of fathers to the well-being of their families, fathers rarely access and utilize 'parenting' information. Tailored information for fathers delivered via email and Internet may provide an alternate route for support for fathers. This study aimed to assess father's readiness to utilize electronic information tailored to father's role. AB - METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-three fathers from antenatal classes in two Australian cities were offered email and web-based information on seven topics: baby play, breastfeeding, post-natal depression, father-infant bonding, sex after birth, work-family balance and fussy babies. Of 137 who completed consent forms, a total of 105 fathers selected three topics and 67 fathers provided 149 topic evaluations. AB - RESULTS: Most respondents were from managerial, professional or skilled occupations and had higher educational qualifications than the general population of fathers. The most popular topics were those that related to father-infant interaction (baby games and father-infant bonding), and the least popular were breastfeeding and sex after the birth. Respondents rated the information as satisfactory and most (78%) indicated that it changed their approach to fathering. Although the websites provided were available through the Internet, few fathers had previously accessed them. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Information tailored to new father's perspectives provided through email or Internet may increase new fathers' access to useful knowledge and support. Important health topics such as breastfeeding may not currently be perceived as particularly relevant to fathers in the antenatal period. Portals designed to filter existing websites could facilitate the use of parenting information by new fathers.

Using molecular techniques, fetal DNA and RNA can be detected from 5 weeks gestation and are rapidly cleared from the circulation following birth. AB - METHODS: We searched PubMed systematically using keywords free fetal DNA and NIPD. Reference lists from relevant papers were also searched to ensure comprehensive coverage of the area. AB - RESULTS: Cell-free fetal DNA comprises only 3-6% of the total circulating cell-free DNA, therefore diagnoses are primarily limited to those caused by paternally inherited sequences as well as conditions that can be inferred by the unique gene expression patterns in the fetus and placenta. Broadly, the potential applications of this technology fall into two categories: first, high genetic risk families with inheritable monogenic diseases, including sex determination in cases at risk of X-linked diseases and detection of specific paternally inherited single gene disorders; and second, routine antenatal care offered to all pregnant women, including prenatal screening/diagnosis for aneuploidy, particularly Down syndrome (DS), and diagnosis of Rhesus factor status in RhD negative women. Already sex determination and Rhesus factor diagnosis are nearing translation into clinical practice for high-risk individuals. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of cffNA may allow NIPD for a variety of genetic conditions and may in future form part of national antenatal screening programmes for DS and other common genetic disorders.

Human studies of prenatal anxiety/stress are now also beginning to document links between antenatal stress/anxiety and behavioural and cognitive development of the child; however, there is no human evidence as to whether the early caregiving environment moderates the effect of antenatal anxiety/stress on child outcomes. AB - METHODS: Antenatal and postnatal measures of stress were collected on 123 women who were recruited from an antenatal clinic. Laboratory-based assessment of the children's cognitive development and fearfulness were assessed when the children were aged 17 months. In addition, child-parent attachment quality was assessed using the Strange Situation. AB - RESULTS: Attachment classification moderated the link between antenatal stress and observed fearfulness. The effect of antenatal stress on fearfulness was most accentuated in children with an Insecure/Resistant attachment classification; the significant antenatal stress x attachment classification interaction held after controlling for postnatal stress and obstetric, social and demographic factors. Attachment did not moderate the effects of antenatal anxiety on cognitive development. AB - DISCUSSION: These findings provide the first human evidence that postnatal parenting may moderate the adverse effects of antenatal stress. These results raise developmental questions about the timing and effect of interventions to reduce the adverse effects of antenatal stress exposure.

AB - METHODS: Consenting parents of newborns with CHD answered questions about the cardiac lesion, surgical repair, follow-up management, risk for CHD in future children, and maternal education before neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. A total understanding score was calculated (0-10) as the sum of five subscores: physician score, CHD score, surgery score, follow-up score, and reproduction score. Each category was scored as 0 (none correct), 1 (some correct), or 2 (all correct). The prenatal and postnatal diagnoses scores were compared. AB - RESULTS: From June 2006 to November 2006, 50 families completed the questionnaire. Of these 50 families, 26 reported a prenatal diagnosis. The mean infant age when the parents were approached was 17.3 +/- 13.3 days. The summary understanding score for the entire group was 6.3 +/- 2.4 of 10. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated a difference in scores between prenatal and postnatal diagnosis groups (p = 0.02) when control was used for maternal education. Prenatal diagnosis and maternal education (p < 0.01) had independent effects on the score. AB - CONCLUSION: Prenatal diagnosis increases parental understanding of neonatal CHD. Nevertheless, parental understanding remains suboptimal.

The project involved two focus groups involving a midwife, health visitors, a community psychiatric nurse and a nursery nurse, and individual semistructured interviews with 11 first-time mothers. Questions were asked about antenatal and postnatal services and about maternal expectations. The findings indicated that there were some areas for which parents did not feel well prepared and where care could be more focused. The needs that were identified included earlier antenatal classes with greater involvement from fathers and health visitors, opportunities to debrief about labour, more information on practical, emotional and relationship changes, and more opportunities for mothers to support each other.

Existing studies have asked parents, retrospectively, about their experience of antenatal education, mainly focusing on women. We sought to address this gap by asking first-time mothers and their partners about how they could be better supported during the antenatal period, particularly in relation to the transition to parenthood and parenting skills. AB - METHODS: Purposive sampling was used to recruit 24 nulliparous women with a range of ages from two healthcare organisations in South-West England, 20 of whom had partners. Recruitment took place antenatally at around 28 weeks gestation. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken at home in the last trimester of pregnancy and between 3-4 months postpartum. Content analysis of the interview data was undertaken. AB - RESULTS: Several common themes emerged from both the ante- and postnatal data, including support mechanisms, information and antenatal education, breastfeeding, practical baby-care and relationship changes. Knowledge about the transition to parenthood was poor. Women generally felt well supported, especially by female relatives and, for those who attended them, postnatal groups. This was in contrast to the men who often only had health professionals and work colleagues to turn to. The men felt very involved with their partners' pregnancy but excluded from antenatal appointments, antenatal classes and by the literature that was available. Parents had been unaware of, and surprised at, the changes in the relationship with their partners. They would have liked more information on elements of parenting and baby care, relationship changes and partners' perspectives prior to becoming parents. AB - CONCLUSION: Many studies and policy documents have highlighted the paucity of parents' preparation for parenthood. This study has indicated the need for an improvement in parents' preparation for parenthood, the importance of including fathers in antenatal education and that inadequate preparation remains a concern to both women and their partners. This paper identifies several avenues for action and further research to improve both new parents' experience of antenatal education and their preparation for parenthood.

AB - DATA SOURCES: Online bibliographic databases including PubMed, CINAHL Plus, and Web of Science and a hand search of bibliographies of relevant articles. AB - STUDY SELECTION: Original research and intervention studies were included that contained (a) a well-described prenatal and/or postpartum home visitation; (b) an assessment of perinatal intimate partner violence; and (c) quantitative data describing health outcomes for the women and their infants. AB - DATA EXTRACTION: The search yielded 128 articles, and 8 relevant articles met all of the inclusion criteria. Nonresearch, nonintervention, and international articles were excluded. AB - DATA SYNTHESIS: No perinatal home visiting interventions were designed to address intimate partner violence. Programs that screened for intimate partner violence found high rates, and the presence of intimate partner violence limited the ability of the intervention to improve maternal and child outcomes. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal home visitation programs likely improve pregnancy and infant outcomes. Home visiting interventions addressing intimate partner violence in nonperinatal population groups have been effective in minimizing intimate partner violence and improving outcomes. This suggests that perinatal home visiting programs adding specific intimate partner violence interventions may reduce intimate partner violence and improve maternal and infant health. Continued rigorous research is needed.

AB - BACKGROUND: Pregnancy and transition to parenthood are major developmental periods within families throughout the world. Previous research suggests that fathers in many different countries feel unprepared for parenthood. AB - METHODS: Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 partners of primiparous women from two healthcare provider organizations in South-West England between December 2005 and July 2006. Recruitment took place at about 28 weeks gestation. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken at home in the last trimester of pregnancy and 3-4 months postpartum. Content analysis of the interview data was undertaken. AB - FINDINGS: Several common themes emerged from both the ante- and postnatal data, including lack of support mechanisms, involvement in antenatal provision and the need for more information given in the antenatal period on parenting, baby care and relationships. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Adequately preparing new fathers for parenthood in advance of the birth of their baby is important, and healthcare professionals can contribute to this by involving and supporting new fathers. Further study is needed to explore the role of fathers in antenatal education and the types of interventions that are effective in improving their early experiences of parenthood. The study needs to be repeated with fathers from black and ethnic minority groups.

Pregnant women (n = 2654) in their third trimester, participating in a prevention of mother to child tranmission (PMTCT) program between June 2002 and March 2004 were encouraged to inform and invite their partners for HIV-VCT. Trained nurses conducted pre-test counselling, interviews, clinical examinations and blood sampling from the participating women and their partners. Test results were presented and post-test counselling was conducted individually or in couples, depending on the wishes of the participants. Three-hundred-and-thirty-two male partners (12.5%) came for HIV-VCT. A high proportion (131; 40%) came after the woman had delivered. HIV-seropositive women whose partners attended were three times more likely to use Nevirapine prophylaxis, four times more likely to avoid breastfeeding and six times more likely to adhere to the infant feeding method selected than those whose partners didn't attend. Women were more likely to bring their partner for VCT if they collected their own test results, were living with their partner, had a high monthly income and had expressed at enrolment the intention to share HIV results with their partner. Although PMTCT programs are presumably a good entry point for male involvement in prevention of sexual and perinatal HIV transmission, this traditional clinic-based approach reaches few men. Given the positive influence male participation has on the acceptance of perinatal interventions, a different approach for promoting male participation in VCT is urgently required. Within PMTCT programs, counseling should emphasize the advantages of partner participation to encourage women to inform and convince male partners to come for VCT. Also, promotion of couple VCT outside antenatal settings in male friendly and accessible settings should be given priority.

An analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant main effects of maternal prenatal smoking and a significant interaction between maternal prenatal smoking and mother's history of antisocial behavior in the prediction of children's probability to display high and rising physical aggression. The interaction indicated that the effects of heavy smoking during pregnancy (> or =10 cigarettes/day) were greater when the mother also had a serious history of antisocial behavior. The effects remained significant after the introduction of control variables (e.g., hostile-reactive parenting, family functioning, parental separation/divorce, family income, and maternal education). Another significant interaction not accounted for by control variables was observed for maternal prenatal smoking and family income, indicating more serious effects of maternal prenatal smoking under relatively low-income, conditions. Both interactions indicate critical adversities that, in combination with maternal prenatal smoking, have supra-additive effects on (the development of) physical aggression during early childhood. These findings may have implications for the selection of intervention targets and strategies.

Factors affecting the initiation and the early cessation of breastfeeding were also explored. AB - METHODS: Twenty-five pregnant women participating in the ECI program completed this prospective study. At 36 weeks' gestation, a questionnaire was administered to assess socioeconomic status, intention to breastfeed and breastfeeding experience. When the infants were three and six months of age, feeding practices were assessed with a questionnaire. AB - RESULTS: The breastfeeding initiation rate was 62.5%. At one and three months postpartum, exclusive breastfeeding rates were 39% and 4%, respectively. At six months, none of the women was exclusively breastfeeding. Primiparity, prenatal classes, having been breastfed and intention to breastfeed at 36 weeks' gestation were positively associated with breastfeeding initiation. Father's education, intention to breastfeed at 36 weeks' gestation, no water or formula given to the infant during hospitalization and higher maternal hemoglobin level at 36 weeks' gestation were positively associated with the duration of breastfeeding. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The rate of initiation and duration of breastfeeding for ECI participants were low. To achieve successful interventions, it is important to target modifiable factors known to influence the initiation and duration of breastfeeding within this population.

AB - METHODS: A total of 677 infants without major anomalies or chromosomal disorders who were born between 30 and 34 weeks of gestation in the participating hospitals and discharged alive were included. Parental satisfaction with neonatal intensive care was ascertained 3 months after discharge by using a previously developed scale of 12 Likert items (scored 1-5), addressing such issues as perceptions regarding the staff providing emotional support, information, or education. The questionnaire, which was administered by telephone, also included parental ratings of child health and reports of subsequent health care use, sociodemographic characteristics, and history of infertility treatment. Data on the prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal course were abstracted from the medical charts, and the factors associated with parental satisfaction were analyzed. AB - RESULTS: Parental satisfaction with neonatal intensive care varied significantly across the 10 hospitals. The major predictors of satisfaction were sociodemographic characteristics, history of infertility treatment, and especially parental ratings of child health 3 months after discharge, rather than aspects of the perinatal or neonatal course. Controlling for these factors, differences across hospitals were not statistically significant. However, the variance explained by all of the measured factors, including child health rating, was modest (19%). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Although we included variables across the full spectrum of neonatal intensive care, we found that the major predictor of parental satisfaction with neonatal intensive care was child health at the time of the interview, followed by sociodemographic factors and previous infertility treatment. However, the variance explained was limited, which suggests that research is needed on the factors influencing satisfaction.

While the influence of fathers on infant and maternal well-being is also recognised as commencing before birth, the early identification of needs among expectant fathers has not been addressed. AB - METHODS: The current study surveyed fathers attending antenatal classes in public and private hospitals (n=307) in New South Wales, Australia, using psychosocial questions derived from the questions commonly asked in assessments of mothers. AB - RESULTS: The most frequent responses suggest that fathers, at the time of the birth, have needs in regard to their ability to cope with the stresses of new parenthood and the skills and knowledge to care for their new baby. AB - LIMITATIONS: Conclusions from the study are limited in their application to the population of expectant fathers by the low response rate and the low numbers of low-income, ethnic-background, and indigenous fathers in the sample. AB - CONCLUSION: Assessment of fathers by psychosocial questions similar to mothers is advised to detect fathers who may require assistance and parenting education for fathers in infant care.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the perinatal effects of doula support for nulliparous middle-income women accompanied by a male partner during labor and delivery. AB - METHODS: Nulliparous women in the third trimester of an uncomplicated pregnancy were enrolled at childbirth education classes in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1988 through 1992. Of the 686 prenatal women recruited, 420 met enrollment criteria and completed the intervention. For the 224 women randomly assigned to the experimental group, a doula arrived shortly after hospital admission and remained throughout labor and delivery. Doula support included close physical proximity, touch, and eye contact with the laboring woman, and teaching, reassurance, and encouragement of the woman and her male partner. AB - RESULTS: The doula group had a significantly lower cesarean delivery rate than the control group (13.4% vs 25.0%, p = 0.002), and fewer women in the doula group received epidural analgesia (64.7% vs 76.0%, p = 0.008). Among women with induced labor, those supported by a doula had a lower rate of cesarean delivery than those in the control group (12.5% vs 58.8%, p = 0.007). On questionnaires the day after delivery, 100 percent of couples with doula support rated their experience with the doula positively. AB - CONCLUSIONS: For middle-class women laboring with the support of their male partner, the continuous presence of a doula during labor significantly decreased the likelihood of cesarean delivery and reduced the need for epidural analgesia. Women and their male partners were unequivocal in their positive opinions about laboring with the support of a doula.

Participants were 153 dual-earner, working-class couples who were recruited during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy at prenatal education courses. Data were collected 1 month antenatally and 1, 4, 6, and 12 months postnatally. Sense of control was decomposed into 2 distinct parts: an enduring component and a malleable component that changes with context. Consistent with a cognitive theory of emotional problems, results demonstrated that a sense of control served a protective function for mental health outcomes. A higher sense of enduring control predicted lower levels of psychological distress for new parents, and increases in control over time predicted decreases in depression and anxiety. Findings hold implications for interventions with expectant parents, such as expanding prenatal education courses to include strategies for enhancing and maintaining a sense of personal control.

A sample of 169 heterosexual, adult couples who were expecting their 1st child was randomized to intervention and control conditions. The intervention families participated in Family Foundations, a series of 8 classes, delivered before and after birth, that was designed as a universal prevention program (i.e., it was applicable to all couples, not just those at high risk). Intent-to-treat analyses indicated significant program effects on coparental support, maternal depression and anxiety, distress in the parent-child relationship, and several indicators of infant regulation. Intervention effects were not moderated by income, but greater positive impact of the program was found for lower educated parents and for families with a father who reported higher levels of insecure attachment in close relationships. These findings support the view that coparenting is a potentially malleable intervention target that may influence family relationships as well as parent and child well-being.

In Sweden, legislation allows fathers to share the parental leave equally with the mother even so fathers only use a small of their paid leave. The aim of the study was to explore experiences of the first year as a father. AB - METHOD: A phenomenological life world approach was used. Ethical approval was obtained. Ten men, recruited by a purposive sample, were interviewed 12-14 months after the delivery of their first child. The data collection was performed during June and August 2004 in the south-west area of Sweden. AB - FINDINGS: The essence of the experiences of the first year as father was to place the baby in the centre without giving up one's own person. The child provided warmth and happiness in the family and men experienced a deeper relationship to their partner. The contact between father and child was facilitated by engagement and time spent alone with the child. The major constituents identified from the findings were 'To be overwhelmed', 'To master the new situation' and 'To get a new completeness in life'. AB - DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: To master fatherhood maintenance of integrity and possibility to develop an independent relationship with the child is important. Fathers are invited to participate in postnatal childbirth education but the activities address women's needs and it is doubtful if the fathers benefit from participation. Though fathers entered the delivery room some decades ago, as a support to the woman, health personnel of today must be aware of fathers' own needs and the impact gender aspects have on their professional support.

While in hospital, participating mothers completed a self-administered baseline questionnaire. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted at 4, 10, 16, 22, 32, 40 and 52 weeks. Data collected included sociodemographic, biomedical, hospital-related and psychosocial factors associated with the initiation and duration of breastfeeding. AB - RESULTS: A total of 587 (55%) mothers participated in the study. Thirty-nine percent of mothers reported smoking pre-pregnancy. Mothers who smoked were more likely to have a partner who smoked and to have consumed alcohol prior to pregnancy, and less likely to have attended antenatal classes. They were also less likely to have known how they were going to feed their baby before conception and likely to be more inclined to consider stopping breastfeeding before four months postpartum. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Having a partner (father of the newborn infant) who smoked and maternal alcohol consumption prenatally were factors associated with pre-pregnancy smoking. In addition, if a woman decided how she would feed her infant before the pregnancy occurred and intended to breastfeed for longer than four months she was less likely to smoke in the prenatal period. Having a father (of the newborn infant) who smoked during pregnancy continued to be a factor significantly associated with maternal smoking in the antenatal and postnatal period. Not attending antenatal classes and not intending to breastfeed for longer than four months were also factors associated with maternal smoking. At ten weeks postpartum being of Caucasian origin and having a low Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Score were factors significantly associated with smoking postnatally.

AB - DESIGN: A multiple-case study design using secondary data from a larger longitudinal study of parental role attainment with medically fragile infants. AB - SAMPLE: Five cases involving mothers who were Lumbee Indians and who had medically fragile infants. AB - RESULTS: The key features of the mothers' talk about their parenting experiences were organized into categories that fit into five inductively derived themes related to poverty. AB - IMPLICATIONS: Health care professionals need to be aware of how the context of living in poverty affects mothers of high-risk infants who are hospitalized in tertiary care units. In particular, low-income mothers, especially American Indians living in high-poverty areas, urgently need improved community resources such as access to birth control; early prenatal care; programs to help reduce drug, alcohol, and tobacco use both during and following pregnancy; and follow-up health and developmental services for their infants.

AB - METHODS: Starting in July 2000, every birth at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania has been recorded in a separate database. The information is obtained through personal interviews with each mother, conducted by specially trained midwives, and supplied with data from the medical records. A secretary enters the data into the electronic file. Data are collected about the mother and father: education, occupation and living conditions, mother's health before and during present pregnancy, expected date of delivery, smoking and drinking (alcohol) habits, use of drugs, plus HIV and syphilis status (if known). This is followed by particulars on the delivery: spontaneous or induced, and complications; the child or children: weight, height and Apgar score, malformations and other diagnoses. Mode of birth: spontaneous or operative intervention. If perinatal death: when? Transfer to intensive neonatal unit? The mother's reproductive history (births, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies) is also recorded, with outcomes. AB - RESULTS: We describe the process based on more than six years' experience, including obstacles and how they were overcome. The registry serves as a monitoring tool, with a set of key activities and events being issued monthly, indicating changes and trends in, e.g., bleeding complications, caesarean section rates and perinatal mortality, as early warning signs. Monthly reports on key issues are presented. Confidentiality and data protection are key issues. Day-to-day recording of births is vulnerable to personnel shortage, whether from disease or holidays. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Validation and quality checks leave the overall impression that the database is largely accurate and credible. There are plenty of opportunities for research. Clinicians and epidemiologists will profit from using the database to test hypotheses and clarify problem issues, to the ultimate benefit of labouring women and their children.

The purpose of this study was to describe maternal, neonatal, and outside influences associated with the intention, initiation, and duration of breast-feeding for women whose newborns were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. One hundred mothers were interviewed. Most mothers (67%) intended to breast-feed exclusively and this was significantly related to maternal characteristics such as age, education, parity, smoking and marital status, pre-breast-feeding experience, and the influences of the neonate's father and prenatal education. Seventy-eight mothers initiated pumping. Initiation was significantly related to maternal education, smoking, parity, previous breast-feeding experience, the neonate's physician, the neonate's father, and postpartum breast-feeding education. Fifty-four mothers were followed up by telephone after discharge until weaning. Thirty percent were exclusively breast-feeding at 2 weeks after discharge, and 15% were breast-feeding at 1 year. Duration of breast-feeding was significantly associated with education, marital status, ethnicity, income, assistance from nurses and lactation consultants, and feeding method along with milk type and milk volume at discharge. Increased family support, timely breast-feeding information, and a supportive neonatal intensive care unit environment are needed for women to succeed in breast-feeding their hospitalized newborns.

Such programs are usually offered to groups but may be offered to individuals. AB - OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of this education on knowledge acquisition, anxiety, sense of control, pain, labour and birth support, breastfeeding, infant-care abilities, and psychological and social adjustment. AB - SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (April 2006), CINAHL (1982 to April 2006), ERIC (1984 to April 2006), EMBASE (1980 to April 2006) and PsycINFO (1988 to April 2006). We handsearched the Journal of Psychosomatic Research from 1956 to April 2006 and reviewed the reference lists of retrieved studies. AB - SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials of any structured educational program provided during pregnancy by an educator to either parent that included information related to pregnancy, birth or parenthood. The educational interventions could have been provided on an individual or group basis. Educational interventions directed exclusively to either increasing breastfeeding success, knowledge of and coping skills concerning postpartum depression, improving maternal psycho-social health including anxiety, depression and self-esteem or reducing smoking were excluded. AB - DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Both authors assessed trial quality and extracted data from published reports. AB - MAIN RESULTS: Nine trials, involving 2284 women, were included. Thirty-seven studies were excluded. Educational interventions were the focus of eight of the studies (combined n = 1009). Details of the randomization procedure, allocation concealment, and/or participant accrual or loss for these trials were not reported. No consistent results were found. Sample sizes were very small to moderate, ranging from 10 to 318. No data were reported concerning anxiety, breastfeeding success, or general social support. Knowledge acquisition, sense of control, factors related to infant-care competencies, and some labour and birth outcomes were measured. The largest of the included studies (n = 1275) examined an educational and social support intervention to increase vaginal birth after caesarean section. This high-quality study showed similar rates of vaginal birth after caesarean section in 'verbal' and 'document' groups (relative risk 1.08, 95% confidence interval 0.97 to 1.21). AB - AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The effects of general antenatal education for childbirth or parenthood, or both, remain largely unknown. Individualized prenatal education directed toward avoidance of a repeat caesarean birth does not increase the rate of vaginal birth after caesarean section.

We evaluated the effectiveness of the Kit for New Parents, a multimedia health and parenting resource now distributed annually to 500000 parents in California. AB - METHODS: In this quasi-experimental study, 462 mothers in the intervention group and 1011 mothers in the comparison group, recruited from prenatal and postnatal programs, completed a baseline interview about health-relevant parenting knowledge, and mothers in the intervention group received the kit. Both groups were reinterviewed 2 months later. At 14-months postbaseline, 350 mothers in the intervention group and a sample of 414 mothers who had equivalent demographic characteristics (comparison group) were interviewed about parenting knowledge and practices. AB - RESULTS: Of the mothers in the intervention group, 87% reported using the kit within 2 months after receiving it, and 53% had shared it with their partner. At both follow-ups, mothers in the intervention group showed greater gains in knowledge and reported better practices at 14 months than did mothers in the comparison group. Gains were greater for prenatal recipients and for Spanish speakers. Providers considered the kit a valuable resource for their parenting programs. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The kit is an effective, low-cost, statewide health intervention for parents.

The incidence has been estimated at 1/800 to 1/1000 live births. NAIT has been considered to be the platelet counterpart of Rh Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (RHD). Unlike RHD, NAIT can occur during a first pregnancy. The spectrum of the disease may range from sub-clinical moderate thrombocytopaenia to life-threatening bleeding in the neonatal period. Mildly affected infants may be asymptomatic. In those with severe thrombocytopaenia, the most common presentations are petechiae, purpura or cephalohaematoma at birth, associated with major risk of intracranial haemorrhage (up to 20% of reported cases), which leads to death or neurological sequelae. Alloimmune thrombocytopaenia is more often unexpected and is usually diagnosed after birth. Once suspected, the diagnosis is confirmed by demonstration of maternal antiplatelet alloantibodies directed against a paternal antigen inherited by the foetus/neonate. Post-natal management involves transfusion of platelets devoid of this antigen, and should not be delayed by biological confirmation of the diagnosis (once the diagnosis is suspected), especially in case of severe thrombocytopaenia. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to reduce the chances of death and disability due to haemorrhage. Due to the high rate of recurrence and increased severity of the foetal thrombocytopaenia in successive pregnancies, antenatal therapy should be offered. However, management of high-risk pregnancies is still a matter of discussion.

This study investigated the interaction of CTLA-4 polymorphism with prenatal factors on the elevation of cord blood IgE (CBIgE). AB - METHODS: Pregnant women were antenatally recruited for collection of prenatal environmental factors by a questionnaire. Umbilical cord blood samples were collected for CBIgE detection by fluorescence-linked enzyme assay and CTLA-4 polymorphism measurement by restriction fragment length polymorphism. AB - RESULTS: A total of 1104 pregnant women initially participated in this cohort study, and 898 of them completed cord blood collection. 21.4% of the newborns had elevation of CBIgE (>or=0.5 kU/L). The CTLA-4+49A allele (P=0.021), maternal atopy (P<0.001) and gender (P=0.034), but not the CTLA-4+49G allele, -318C allele, -318T allele, parental smoking or paternal atopy, were significantly correlated with the CBIgE elevation in multivariate analysis. A dichotomous analysis of gene-maternal atopy interactions identified maternal atopy and CTLA-4+49A allele had an additive effect on the CBIgE elevation, especially prominent in male newborns; and in the absence of maternal atopy, CTLA-4+49GG genotype had a protective effect on CBIgE elevation in female newborns. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Maternal but not paternal atopy has significant impacts on CBIgE elevation depending on gender and CTLA-4+49A/G polymorphism of newborns. Control of maternal atopy and modulation of CTLA-4 expression in the prenatal stage may be a target for the early prevention of perinatal allergy sensitization.

In-depth interviews were held with 61 HIV positive women and men; at the time of interview, half had been receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) for over 6 months and half were not receiving ART. Being HIV positive modified but did not remove reproductive desires, and diversity existed in reproductive intentions. Some HIV positive individuals wished to avoid pregnancy. Fears of partner and infant infection and having a previously infected baby were important factors deterring some individuals from considering having children. There was also strongly perceived community disapproval associated with HIV and reproduction. Strong desires to experience parenthood, mediated by prevailing social and cultural norms that encouraged childbearing in society more broadly, were reported by others. Motherhood was an important component of married women's identity and important for women's social status. Family, husbands' and societal expectations for childbearing were important influences on women's reproductive intentions, for some counterbalancing HIV as a factor discouraging reproduction. There was evidence that prevention of perinatal transmission programs in combination with ART may alter women and men's attitudes in favour of childbearing. Most HIV positive women had not discussed their reproductive desires and intentions with health care providers in HIV care or general health services because of anticipated negative reactions. The few who had done so perceived the counselling environment to be mostly unsupportive of open discussion on these issues. The findings highlight the need for explicit policies recognizing reproductive rights and choice. They support the need for health counselling and service interventions that advance safer and healthier reproductive options for HIV positive individuals in this region of the world which is experiencing a generalised and advanced HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Such children have a greater likelihood of developing acute or chronic physical, cognitive and behavioral problems. In-utero exposure to tobacco, alcohol or drugs impact on the developing fetus and, after birth, the family environment and family system exert effects on the infants and children of substance-abusing parents. Evidence-based prevention and maternal drug treatment programs focus on enhancing parental childcaring abilities, supporting parent-child attachment and encouraging family support systems to improve children's health and cognitive outcomes. FAS/FDS prevention programs, as well as selective and indicated prenatal and postnatal interventions, can improve the support given both to mother and to child, and evidence-based, in-home parenting and family-skills-training approaches are particularly useful.

Community child and family health nurses, who traditionally engage with families post-birth, are well placed to provide interventions in the antenatal period. There is, however, little information on what home visiting nurses do, particularly in the antenatal period. An Australian trial of sustained nurse home visiting provides the opportunity to explore what child and family health nurses actually do in this new area of antenatal intervention. AB - METHOD: Nurses completed a checklist following each home visit detailing the interventions undertaken. Descriptive analysis was undertaken to describe the frequency of each of interventions. Factor analysis was undertaken to group the interventions into clusters. Further analysis was undertaken to determine if the clusters of interventions were associated with the frequency of home visits or characteristics of the mothers/families. AB - RESULT: Four clusters of interventions were identified: comprehensive range of physical and psychosocial care for most families; ongoing management of lower risk needs for mothers who were young, unsupported or had a history of mental health problems; preventive care for first-time mothers; and management of high risk needs (drugs and alcohol and domestic violence) in conjunction with other professionals. AB - DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The interventions undertaken reflect the conceptual framework of the program. Nurses are delivering a comprehensive range of physical and psychosocial care to most women and families in the antenatal period, with some groups of women receiving additional support related to differing areas of needs.

One hundred and ten couples expecting a first child participated in prenatal assessments of coparenting expectations and differences, and in 3-month post-partum evaluations. Forty-five couples completed subsequent assessments at 12 and 30 months. At each time point multi-method evaluations of coparental adjustment were obtained. Men's and women's expectancies during the pregnancy and the degree of difference between their self-reported beliefs about parenting predicted post-baby coparental adjustment, with latent class analyses suggesting aftereffects of prenatal expectancies up through 30 months for some couples. Coparental solidarity was also stable from 3 to 12 and from 12 to 30 months. Data indicate that the lens parents bring to bear on their emerging family system is not immaterial, and that early-emerging coparenting dynamics portend longer term coparenting adjustment.

AB - AIM: To investigate attendance at parental education classes during the infant's first year, and to identify factors associated with non-attendance in primiparous women. AB - METHODS: Swedish-speaking women were recruited from 97% of all antenatal clinics in Sweden during 3 wk, evenly spread over 1 y from 1999 to 2000. Questionnaires were mailed in early pregnancy, and at 2 mo and 1 y after the birth. Two thousand, four hundred and forty women answered the main outcome question about class attendance asked in the third questionnaire, and 1076 of these were first-time mothers. AB - RESULTS: Seventy-eight per cent of the primiparas attended classes and 31% of the multiparas. Factors associated with non-attendance in primiparas were: native language other than Swedish, a low level of education, smoking during pregnancy, inconvenient timing of pregnancy, feelings of loneliness and isolation, maternal hospital admission, and infant health problems. Three per cent of the primiparas did not attend classes either during pregnancy or after the birth, and this group seemed to constitute an even less privileged group. AB - CONCLUSION: Parental education classes organized by the CHCs did not reach women who were more disadvantaged in terms of socio-demographic background, and maternal and infant health.

AB - DESIGN: Cohort study. AB - SETTING: Postnatal ward of the Prince of Wales Hospital. AB - PARTICIPANTS: A total of 243 infants born in 1998 to 2001 at the hospital. Each infant was followed up for 3 years. Home visits were carried out at 3, 15, 24, and 36 months of age by medical students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. A questionnaire was completed at each visit. Independent sample t-tests and Pearson Chi squared tests were used. AB - RESULTS: Of the 243 subjects, 213 provided data on the method of infant feeding. There were 66.7% of mothers initiating breastfeeding, with a median duration of 1 month. Only 13.4% met the World Health Organization's recommendations on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding was found to have a statistically significant relationship with (i) the infant's birth order and (ii) the mother's and father's education level. During follow-up, 44.6% of the infants were hospitalised but there was no significant relationship between breastfeeding and number of hospitalisations. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The current breastfeeding rate in Hong Kong falls below expectations when compared with other developed nations. To raise this rate, more support is needed for families with parents having a lower education level or more than two children, as they are the least likely to breastfeed. This might be achieved by encouraging antenatal class attendance, counselling of husbands, and more support for breastfeeding from doctors.

There is increasing recognition that a fathers' depression and anxiety in the perinatal period can have serious consequences for his family. Health services could better support new fathers by providing them with information on parenting from a father's perspective, or by running father-specific sessions as part of routine antenatal care programs.

AB - PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed the course and outcome of four pregnancies in two simple virilizing (SV) and one SW patient. AB - RESULTS: The evaluation of carrier status indicated that all three fathers had two normal CYP21 genes. During the pregnancy, the dose of prednisolone was increased in one of the SV patients and the SW patient. In the SW patient who developed pre-eclampsia, the dose of fludrocortisone was also increased. Three patients gave birth to a total of four healthy girls who were heterozygotes for 21-OHD with normal genitalia (one by vaginal delivery and three by Caesarean section). Family studies revealed that the mother of the SW patient has nonclassical 21-OHD. AB - CONCLUSION: Improving a low birth rate in females with SW 21-OHD remains a problem and new approaches are required. If the mother has 21-OHD (even nonclassical 21-OHD), pre-conception counselling and paternal genotyping are advisable and prenatal dexamethasone therapy should be considered.

In the present study, we investigated whether mothers, who were attended by midwives and nurses who had had a process-oriented training program in breastfeeding counseling, perceived stronger maternal feelings for their infant than mothers who had received only routine care. AB - METHODS: In a previous study, an intervention that included a process-oriented program on breastfeeding counseling for health professionals and continuity in family classes through childbirth was conducted. The 10 largest municipalities were classified in pairs that were similar in size and had similar figures of breastfeeding duration. The municipalities were randomized pairwise to either an intervention or a control group. The present study is a follow-up study on women's feelings for their infants in relation to the kind of care that they had had and was undertaken between April 2000 and January 2003. The sampling frame was based on women who were cared for at either the intervention clinic or control clinics. The mothers at the control clinics had received standard routine care and had attended family classes through the point of birth. Data collection for control group A started before effects of the intervention could be studied. Data for control group B were collected simultaneously with data collection for the intervention group (n = 540). The mothers responded to 3 questionnaires at 3 days and at 3 and 9 months postpartum. Background data of the mothers were collected. The perception of support that was provided by the health professionals and the perception of mother-infant relationship and feelings for the infant were rated on Likert scales. AB - RESULTS: At 3 days postpartum, both the intervention group and control group B versus the control group A thought that their understanding of the infant was better, they perceived more strongly that the infant as their own, and they enjoyed more breastfeeding and resting with the infant. Although there was no significant difference between the intervention group and control group B at 3 days and 3 months observation, mothers in the intervention group talked more to their infant, perceived their infant to be more beautiful than other infants, and perceived more strongly that the infant was their own than did the mothers in control group B at 9 months observation. In addition, the mothers in the intervention group felt significantly more confident with the infant and felt the infant to be closer than did the mothers in control group B. AB - CONCLUSION: A process-oriented breastfeeding training program for antenatal midwives and postnatal nurses that included an intervention that guaranteed continuity of care strengthened the maternal relationship with the infant and the feelings for the infant.

AB - METHODS: Eighty-three postnatal Taiwanese couples participated in the study. Four structured questionnaires were used to analyze the differences between fathers and mothers. AB - RESULTS: For the first-time couples, fathers perceived lower social support than mothers, but the couples experienced similar depression level. Experienced mothers compared to fathers reported significantly higher stress, lower self-esteem, and higher depression. There were differential gender-based predictors of depression where mothers' depressive outcomes were related to high stress and low social support and fathers' depression were related to low self-esteem and low social support. AB - CONCLUSION: These findings confirm the predominance among females of postpartum depression in experienced couples in an East Asian setting. Preventive interventions might include antenatal guidance for parenting, counseling of gender role stress, and development of support groups for postnatal couples in making a smoother transition.

Dexamethasone was administered noninvasively to fetal or neonatal rats via the mothers' drinking water (1 mug/ml) on embryonic d 16-19 or neonatal d 1-7, and control animals received normal drinking water. At 68 d of age, the numbers of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH+) cells in the arcuate nucleus and morphometric parameters of pituitary lactotrophs were analyzed. In control animals, striking sex differences in TH+ cell numbers, lactotroph cell size, and pituitary prolactin content were observed. Both pre- and neonatal GC treatment regimens were without effect in adult male rats, but in females, the overriding effect was to abolish the sex differences by reducing arcuate TH+ cell numbers (pre- and neonatal treatments) and reducing lactotroph cell size and pituitary prolactin content (prenatal treatment only) without changing lactotroph cell numbers. Changes in circulating prolactin levels represented a net effect of hypothalamic and pituitary alterations that exhibited independent critical windows of susceptibility to perinatal GC treatments. The dopaminergic neurons of the hypothalamic periventricular nucleus and the pituitary somatotroph populations were not significantly affected by either treatment regimen in either sex. These data show that the adult female hypothalamo-lactotroph axis is profoundly affected by perinatal exposure to GCs, which disrupts the tonic inhibitory tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic pathway and changes lactotroph morphology and prolactin levels in the pituitary and circulation. These findings provide new evidence for a long-term disruption in prolactin-dependent homeostasis in females, but not males, after inappropriate GC exposure in perinatal life.

This study aimed to evaluate parental preferences for hypothetical consent procedures in neonatal resuscitation research. AB - DESIGN: Mail-out survey questionnaire. AB - SETTING/ PARTICIPANTS: Randomly selected parents who had received obstetrical or neonatal care at a tertiary perinatal centre. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Parental levels of comfort (Likert-type scale 1-6) regarding different methods of obtaining consent in hypothetical resuscitation research scenarios. AB - RESULTS: The response rate was 34%. The respondents were a group of highly educated women with a higher family income than would be expected in the general population. In terms of results, parents valued the impact the research would have on their baby and the importance of a positive interaction with the physicians conducting the research study. Parents felt most comfortable with prospective consent in the setting of prenatal classes or prenatal visits with a physician, but they were somewhat uncomfortable with prospective consent upon admission to hospital after labour had begun. Parents were uncomfortable with waived consent, deferred consent, and opting out, no matter when during the pregnancy consent was requested. AB - CONCLUSION: This pilot study reports parental preferences for prenatal information and consent for such research trials of neonatal resuscitation. A low response rate and potentially skewed demographics of the respondents prevent generalisability of this result. Interview studies should be performed to better determine parental preferences for informed consent in a more representative population. NT - 17 refs.

AB - DESIGN: The teens met in four focus groups, two prenatal and two postnatal. AB - SETTING: Teens receiving care from a teen-tot program and associated prenatal clinic in a large metropolitan area in New England. AB - PARTICIPANTS: A total of 16 pregnant (n=6) and parenting (n=10) teens ages ranging from 16 to 21 years (13 African American, 2 Latina, and 1 Haitian) participated in the four focus groups. AB - METHODS: A qualitative focus group study was performed. Structured, culturally sensitive questions guided the discussion based on a hypothetical case scenario. Themes were identified through grounded theory with three coders and differences were reconciled. AB - RESULTS: The groups revealed prenatal and postnatal mothers valued medical and social services provided in a teen-focused hospital clinic. Prenatal teens looked to providers for health education services and group support. Parenting teens requested consistent doctors for their children and social supports for themselves. Both groups desired assistance with social services, education, housing, and finances as well as educational services for fathers. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Teen parents' perceptions and suggestions for services are critical to program development that meets the needs of participants.

In Caucasian persons, HPA-1a is the most frequently implicated antigen. During the past few years, FMAIT has been reported associated with rare or private antigens. AB - STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Since the first documented case of FMAIT due to anti-HPA-9bw (Max(a)), no additional cases have been reported. Here a retrospective analysis is presented of the cases referred to our laboratories in recent years. The diagnosis was performed by genotyping and identification of the maternal alloantibody by the monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of PLT antigens (MAIPA) technique. AB - RESULTS: Parental genotyping showed HPA-9bw (Max(a)) mismatch as the sole antigenic incompatibility in seven of eight families. Because the father was found to be HPA-9bw (Max(a)) heterozygous in all the cases, the infant or fetus was genotyped to ascertain the diagnosis. The maternal alloantibody was identified in the MAIPA technique. These data strongly suggest, however, that recognition of the HPA-9bw (Max(a)) epitope is not uniform. The neonatal thrombocytopenia was severe in most cases with bleeding. The outcome was good in all the cases but one. AB - CONCLUSION: This analysis confirms that anti-HPA-9bw (Max(a)) FMAIT is not uncommon and was found to be approximately 2 percent of our confirmed FMAIT cases. It is a clinically severe syndrome that requires prompt diagnosis, albeit difficult, and maternal PLT transfusion therapy. Laboratory investigation of a suspected FMAIT case should be carried out in a specialist laboratory well-experienced in optimal testing. Appropriate management and antenatal therapy should be considered for successive pregnancies to prevent fetal bleeding.

AB - RECENT FINDINGS: The topics covered are the effectiveness of antenatal screening programmes for thalassaemia, its prenatal diagnosis, molecular basis and laboratory findings, ultrasound screening for haemoglobin Bart's disease, and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of thalassaemia. AB - SUMMARY: Universal antenatal screening for thalassaemia carriers should be implemented in populations with a high prevalence of this condition. The appropriate measure to screen for alpha and beta thalassaemias remains mean cell haemoglobin (<27 pg) or mean corpuscular volume (<80 fl). A haemoglobin pattern and iron profile should follow if the red cell indices are low. In a population where alpha thalassaemia is prevalent, it is advisable to check the partner's mean cell haemoglobin or mean corpuscular volume as well. Further cascades of investigations will depend on these results and the prevalence of other haemoglobinopathies in that population. Invasive prenatal diagnosis remains the gold standard for diagnosis in high-risk couples. Provided expertise is available, ultrasound measurement of the cardiothoracic ratio appears a good screening tool for alpha thalassaemia major. Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis by identification of a paternal mutation in maternal plasma, although currently at the experimental stage, may be an option in the future.

AB - DESIGN AND METHODS: Mutation(s) were analyzed in 62 patients using 10 sets of allele-specific primers. AB - RESULTS: Four mutations [IVS1 nt5 (G --> C), F.S 8/9 (+G), F.S 41/42 (-TCTT) and del 619 bp] were found to constitute 94.1% of the total alleles studied. Prevalence of IVS1 nt5 (G --> C) was the highest, closely followed by F.S 8/9 (+G). The latter was thus unusually high and not consistent with earlier reports. Two mutations in cis were detected in one carrier of the thalassemia trait and in his father, thus signifying the possibility of vertical transmission of mutations in a single beta-globin allele. AB - CONCLUSIONS: F.S 8/9 (+G), as well as IVS1 nt5 (G --> C), are the major mutations in Indian states; however, the possibility of multiple mutations in cis in a fetus with the thalassemia trait has to be considered in a prenatal screening program.

In particular, prenatal exposure to stress represents one category of adverse early environmental events that are associated with development of depression and schizophrenia in adulthood. In the present studies, we examined whether prenatal stress alters the habituation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity that occurs with repeated stress exposure in adulthood. We compared corticosterone responses to the first vs. the eighth restraint, with lower responses to the eighth vs. the first considered evidence of habituation. In males, prenatal stress prevented the habituation of corticosterone responses to repeated restraint that was observed in non-prenatally stressed rats. Limited evidence of habituation was seen in either group of females and prenatally stressed females did not exhibit the enhanced corticosterone response during recovery from the eighth restraint that was seen in non-prenatally stressed females. Together, these results suggest a sex-specific interaction between prenatal stress and adult chronic stress on HPA activity.

AB - STUDY DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Women in the third trimester of pregnancy returned psychological self-report questionnaires; infant temperament was evaluated at 4 and 6 months by maternal and paternal report, while depression (concurrent Edinburgh scale) was also assessed at four and six months. As data were returned inconsistently at 4 and 6 months, we combined these two time points for simplicity of reporting and optimisation of numbers. AB - RESULTS: Univariate logistic regressions on 970 subjects indicated that the pregnancy STAI (>40) scores were associated with 2.56- and 1.57-fold increases (maternal and paternal, respectively), in the odds of "difficult" infant temperament at 4 or 6 months. Concurrent Edinburgh scores (OR of 3.06 and 2.64 for maternal reports, respectively) were also predictive of infant temperament. Age, education, income, marital status, obstetric complications, infant gender and prematurity were not predictive of infant temperament. In stepwise multiple logistic regression analyses, the antenatal trait STAI (odds ratio 1.96) significantly predicted maternal reports of "difficult" temperament at 4 or 6 months independent of both antenatal and postnatal depression scores. There were similar trends for paternal reports of "difficult" temperament but these were not significant. Antenatal depression and perceived LE stress were not predictive of temperament. Finally, women (N=14) reporting domestic violence (DV) in pregnancy had highly significant increased Edinburgh and STAI scores. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Maternal trait anxiety was predictive of "difficult" infant temperament, independent of "concurrent" depression and key sociodemographic and obstetric risk factors. These findings, while needing replication using objective measures of infant temperament, suggest that antenatal psychological interventions aimed at minimising anxiety may optimize infant temperament outcomes. There may be some benefit in shaping specific interventions to women reporting specific risk factors such as DV or past abuse.

A consequence of this can be a reduced number of platelets (thrombocytopenia) in the fetus, which can result in bleeding whilst in the womb or shortly after birth. In severe cases this bleeding may lead to long-lasting disability or death. Antenatal management of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia centres on preventing severe thrombocytopenia in the fetus. Available management options include administration of intravenous immunoglobulins or corticosteroids to the mother or intrauterine transfusion of antigen compatible platelets to the fetus. All options are costly and need to be assessed in terms of potential risk and benefit to both the mother and an individual fetus. AB - OBJECTIVES: To determine the optimal antenatal treatment of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia to prevent fetal and neonatal haemorrhage and death. AB - SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register (February 2004), EMBASE (1980 to February 2004) and bibliographies of relevant publications and review articles. AB - SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled studies comparing any intervention, including corticosteroids with no treatment, or comparing any two interventions. AB - DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers independently assessed eligibility, trial quality and extracted data. AB - MAIN RESULTS: One study met the inclusion criteria (54 pregnant women). This trial compared intravenous immunoglobulins plus corticosteroid (dexamethasone) with intravenous immunoglobulins alone. No significant differences were reported between the treatment and control groups, in any outcome measured: mean platelet count at birth (weighted mean difference (WMD) 14.10 x 10 9/l, 95% confidence interval (CI) -30.26 to 58.46), mean gestational age at birth (WMD -0.50 weeks, 95% CI -2.69 to 1.69), mean rise in platelet count from first to second fetal blood screen (WMD -3.50 x 10 9/l, 95% CI -24.62 to 17.62) and mean rise in platelet count from birth to first fetal blood screen (WMD 24.40 x 10 9/l (95% CI -14.17 to 62.97)). This trial had adequate methodological quality; however the method used to calculate sample size was inappropriate: therefore the power calculation was not sufficient to determine any significance in differences between the treatment groups. AB - AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: There are insufficient data from randomised controlled trials to determine the optimal antenatal management of fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. Future trials should consider the dose of intravenous immunoglobulins, the timing of initial treatment, monitoring of response to treatment by fetal blood sampling, laboratory measures to define pregnancies with a high risk of intercranial haemorrhage, management of non-responders and long-term follow up of children.

AB - METHODS: A national cohort of 1197 Swedish-speaking women completed three questionnaires: during early pregnancy, 2 months, and 1 year after giving birth. AB - RESULTS: Seventy-four percent of first-time mothers stated that antenatal education helped prepare them for childbirth, and 40% for early parenthood. One year after giving birth, 58% of the mothers had met with other class participants. These outcomes were associated with the number of class sessions. When controlling for the selection of women into participants and non-participants, no statistical differences were found concerning memory of labor pain, mode of delivery, overall birth experience, duration of breastfeeding, and assessment of parental skills. However, participants had a higher rate of epidural analgesia. Mothers who were young, single, with low level of education, living in a small city, and smokers were less likely to find the classes helpful. AB - CONCLUSION: Participation in childbirth and parenthood education classes did not seem to affect first-time mothers' experience of childbirth and assessment of parental skills, but expanded their social network of new parents. The higher epidural rate suggests that participation in classes made women more aware of pain relief techniques available, rather than improving their own coping with pain. More research should focus on current forms of antenatal education, with special focus on women of low socioeconomic status.

AB - METHODS: We conducted a randomized, controlled trial of a program of prenatal and infancy home-visiting in a public system of obstetric and pediatric care in Memphis, Tennessee. A total of 743 primarily black women at <29 weeks of gestation, with no previous live births and with > or =2 sociodemographic risk characteristics (unmarried, <12 years of education, or unemployed), were randomly assigned to receive nurse home visits or comparison services. Outcomes consisted of women's number and timing of subsequent pregnancies, months of employment, use of welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid, educational achievement, behavioral problems attributable to the use of substances, rates of marriage and cohabitation, and duration of relationships with partners and their children's behavior problems, responses to story stems, intellectual functioning, receptive language, and academic achievement. AB - RESULTS: In contrast to counterparts assigned to the comparison group, women visited by nurses had fewer subsequent pregnancies and births (1.16 vs 1.38 pregnancies and 1.08 vs 1.28 births, respectively), longer intervals between births of the first and second children (34.28 vs 30.23 months), longer relationships with current partners (54.36 vs 45.00 months), and, since the previous follow-up evaluation at 4.5 years, fewer months of using welfare (7.21 vs 8.96 months) and food stamps (9.67 vs 11.50 months). Nurse-visited children were more likely to have been enrolled in formal out-of-home care between 2 and 4.5 years of age (82.0% vs 74.9%). Children visited by nurses demonstrated higher intellectual functioning and receptive vocabulary scores (scores of 92.34 vs 90.24 and 84.32 vs 82.13, respectively) and fewer behavior problems in the borderline or clinical range (1.8% vs 5.4%). Nurse-visited children born to mothers with low levels of psychologic resources had higher arithmetic achievement test scores (score of 88.61 vs 85.42) and expressed less aggression (score of 98.58 vs 101.10) and incoherence (score of 20.90 vs 29.84) in response to story stems. There were no statistically significant program effects on women's education, duration of employment, rates of marriage, being in a partnered relationship, living with the father of the child, or domestic violence, current partner's educational level, or behavioral problems attributable to the use of alcohol or drugs. AB - CONCLUSION: This program of prenatal and infancy home-visiting by nurses continued to improve the lives of women and children at child age 6 years, 4 years after the program ended.

To design a suitable intervention for fathers and grandmothers to support breast-feeding mothers, to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention and monitor its likely effects on breast-feeding rates. AB - DESIGN: qualitative focus groups and interviews. Evaluation of the feasibility of an antenatal intervention. AB - SETTING: Community Health Centre and family homes in an area of relative social and economic deprivation in South Bristol, UK, from November 2001 to May 2003. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 10 grandmothers and five fathers in focus groups and interviews. Twenty-nine families in the intervention. AB - INTERVENTION: an antenatal intervention for grandmothers or partners to support breast feeding, which combined the benefits and mechanics of breast feeding with ways of providing support for breast feeding. AB - FINDINGS: using an antenatal session based around a leaflet, specifically written for grandmothers and partners, and including a demonstration of good breast-feeding positioning and attachment in addition to the discussion of specific issues around the health benefits and mechanics of breast feeding was found to be acceptable, useful and enjoyable by all participants, particularly for first-time parents. The importance of fathers and grandmothers in providing emotional and practical support for breast-feeding mothers is highlighted, since those who were still breast feeding at eight weeks all felt that they were receiving similar or better support postnatally than they were antenatally. Significantly more intervention mothers were breast feeding their babies at eight weeks than in the wider practice population of mothers outside the study who intended to breast feed. Fathers' attitudes to breast feeding postnatally were fairly similar to those before the baby was born with breast feeding in public and knowing how much milk the baby was getting having the most influence on whether they felt that their partner should continue to breast feed. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: this type of intervention could be part of a multi-faceted approach towards improving breast-feeding initiation and continuation, particularly in areas of low prevalence. Health professionals should be opportunistic about involving other family members in discussions about breast feeding whenever possible, both antenatally and postnatally.

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has listed the adult prevalence rate for the Caribbean as second only to Sub-Saharan Africa. AB - OBJECTIVE: To document the socio-demographic characteristics of paediatric and perinatal HIV/AIDS in Kingston, Jamaica. AB - METHODS: A cohort of HIV-infected pregnant women were identified at the leading maternity centres in Kingston and St Catherine and were enrolled in the Kingston Paediatric and Perinatal HIV/AIDS Programme. Infants born to mothers within the programme were prospectively enrolled. Infants and children identified after delivery, whether HIV-exposed or infected, were also enrolled (retrospective group). All were followed according to standardized protocols. AB - RESULTS: We report on a total of 239 children, 78 (prospective group) and 161 (retrospective group). Among the retrospective group, 68% were classified as infected. For the prospective group, the patients were recruited within twenty-four hours of birth in 98.7% of cases, whereas in the retrospective group, the median age of recruitment was 2.6 years. The median age of the mother was 27 years and that of the father was 33 years. There were seven teenage mothers. Twenty-six per cent of the children were in institutional care. Family size ranged from one to nine children--the median was two children. For those parents where occupation was reported, the majority held semi-skilled or unskilled jobs. Patients attended their regional clinics. AB - CONCLUSION: HIV/AIDS represents a significant human and financial burden on a developing country such as Jamaica and this underscores the need for urgent and sustained interventions to stem the epidemic.

We studied pregnancy outcomes among wives of male chemical workers who were highly exposed to chemicals contaminated with TCDD and among wives of nonexposed neighborhood referents. For exposed pregnancies, we estimated serum TCDD concentration at the time of conception using a pharmacokinetic model. The mean TCDD concentration for workers' births was 254 pg/g lipid (range, 3-16,340 pg/g). The mean referent concentration of 6 pg/g was assigned to pregnancies fathered by workers before exposure. A total of 1,117 live singleton births of 217 referent wives and 176 worker wives were included. Only full-term births were included in the birth weight analysis (greater than or equal to 37 weeks of gestation). Mean birth weight among full-term babies was similar among referents' babies (n = 604), preexposure workers' babies (n = 221), and exposed workers' babies (n = 292) (3,420, 3,347, and 3,442 g, respectively). Neither continuous nor categorical TCDD concentration had an effect on birth weight for term infants after adjustment for infant sex, mother's education, parity, prenatal cigarette smoking, and gestation length. An analysis to estimate potential direct exposure of the wives during periods of workers' exposure yielded a nonstatistically significant increase in infant birth weight of 130 g in the highest exposure group (TCDD concentration > 254 pg/g) compared with referents (p = 0.09). Mothers' reports of preterm delivery showed a somewhat protective association with paternal TCDD (log) concentration (odds ratio = 0.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.6-1.1). We also include descriptive information on reported birth defects. Because the estimated TCDD concentrations in this population were much higher than in other studies, the results indicate that TCDD is unlikely to increase the risk of low birth weight or preterm delivery through a paternal mechanism. Key words: birth defects, birth weight, congenital anomalies, dioxin, occupation, paternal exposure, preterm birth, TCDD.

AB - DESIGN: a cohort study utilising a postal questionnaire in early pregnancy and at 2 months after birth. AB - SETTING: women were recruited from 97% of all antenatal clinics in Sweden at their first 'booking' visit during three different weeks spread over 1 year in 1999-2000. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 2546 women, who were 77% of those who consented to participate in the study and 55% of all women eligible for the study. AB - MEASUREMENT AND FINDINGS: most primiparous women (93%) attended classes and the majority of the multiparae (81%) did not. Having a native language other than Swedish was associated with non-attendance in both primiparae and multiparae (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.4; OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.1). In addition, the following factors were associated with non-attendance in the primiparae: unemployment (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.8), smoking during pregnancy (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-5.8), having considered abortion (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.2-16.1), and having had few antenatal check-ups (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.7). The following factors were associated with non-attendance in the multiparae: age older than 35 years (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.3), low level of education (OR 3.6, 95% CI 2.3-5.7), and pregnancy unplanned but welcome (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.0), having had counselling because of fear of childbirth (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.4), and expressing a need of such counselling (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.1). AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: the childbirth and parenthood education programme reached the majority of pregnant women, and that non-attendees were more disadvantaged in terms of socio-demographic background and feelings about the approaching birth. These women should be given special attention during the antenatal check-ups so that childbirth and parenthood education could be adapted to their specific needs.

For convenience sampling, 200 couples willing to participate in this study were chosen from two hospitals in central Taiwan. Inclusion criteria were at least 36 weeks of gestation, aged 18 and above, no prenatal complications, and willing to consent to participate in this study. Instruments used to collect data included basic demographic data and the Childbirth Expectations Questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that (1) five factors were identified by expectant parents regarding childbirth expectations including the caregiving environment, expectation of labor pain, spousal support, control and participation, and medical and nursing support; (2) no general differences were identified in the childbirth expectations between expectant fathers and expectant mothers; and (3) expectant fathers with a higher socioeconomic status and who had received prenatal (childbirth) education had higher childbirth expectations, whereas mothers displayed no differences in demographic characteristics. The study results may help clinical healthcare providers better understand differences in expectations during labor and birth and childbirth expectations by expectant parents in order to improve the medical and nursing system and promote positive childbirth experiences and satisfaction for expectant parents.

PrePare (PP) initiates these services prenatally, whereas HS begins services in the postnatal period. Both interventions have universal and risk-directed components. Intervention effects in the first 3 months after birth are reported here. AB - METHODS: A quasi-experimental design was used to allocate 439 participants to intervention or usual care conditions. Within the intervention group, enrollees were randomly assigned to receive HS or PP+HS services. Early outcomes were assessed by telephone survey at 1 week and 3 months postpartum. AB - RESULTS: Mothers in either intervention condition were less likely to report depressive symptoms and more likely to describe themselves as pleased in their role as parents. Intervention families were more likely to continue breastfeeding and more likely to read to their 3-month-old. Knowledge of infant development and recognition of appropriate discipline was greater among intervention recipients. Satisfaction with pediatric care was higher among intervention recipients and the rate of health plan disenrollment was 75% lower at 3 months among those enrolled in the prenatal intervention. No other outcome difference emerged between HS and PP+HS enrollees. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Receipt of either intervention was associated with positive effects on health, safety, and developmentally appropriate parenting, as assessed in early infancy. There were positive effects on health plan disenrollment. No additional benefit could be ascribed to prenatal institution of services. A combination of universal and risk-based support for new parents is recommended, rather than the provision of risk-based services alone.

Doctors' support of breastfeeding was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding both in the mothers' home countries (odds ratio [OR], 9.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.17-31.18) and in Australia (OR, 16.78; 95% CI, 7.12-39.55) and with duration. Mother's level of education was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding in the mother's home country (OR, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.36-6.80) and positively associated with the duration of breastfeeding both in the mother's home country and Australia. Father's preference for breastfeeding was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding of the mother giving birth in Australia (OR, 4.96; 95% CI, 1.93-12.66). Health professionals can provide invaluable support for mothers initiating and continuing breastfeeding in this population. Prenatal education also needs to emphasize the ways in which fathers can support and contribute to breastfeeding.

AB - DESIGN: A 3*3 between subjects randomised control design was utilised. The two factors were condition and self-esteem. Preparation for Parenthood programs were randomly allocated to one of three conditions: usual service ('control'), experimental ('empathy'), or non-specific control ('baby-play'). The latter condition controlled for the non-specific effects of the intervention, these being: the provision of an extra class; asking couples to consider the early postpartum weeks; and receiving booster information after the antenatal class, and again shortly after the birth. Women and men were categorised into three levels of self-esteem, as measured antenatally: low, medium and high. AB - METHODS: 268 participants were recruited antenatally. Interview data and self-report information was collected from 202 of these women at 6 weeks postpartum, and 180 women at 6 months postpartum. The intervention consisted of a session focusing on psychosocial issues related to becoming first-time parents. Participants discussed possible postpartum concerns in separate gender groups for part of the session, and then discussed these issues with their partners. Hypothetical scenarios depicting stressful situations in the early postpartum weeks for women and men were discussed, with solutions that parents have found useful given to the participants. In the non-specific control condition, the session focused on the importance of play with a baby, with videotapes and discussion around how parents can play with infants. AB - RESULTS: At 6 weeks postpartum there was a significant interaction effect between condition and self-esteem on maternal adjustment. Women with low self-esteem, who had received the intervention, were significantly better adjusted on measures of mood and sense of competence than low-self-esteem women in either of the two control conditions. There were no main or interaction effects by 6 months postpartum. The beneficial effect at 6 weeks was related to partners of these women being more aware of how the mother was feeling, and with women reporting greater satisfaction with the sharing of home and baby tasks. There were no significant main or interaction effects for men at either time point, other than men with low self-esteem reporting poorer adjustment. AB - CONCLUSIONS: This brief and inexpensive intervention was effective in reducing postpartum distress in some first-time mothers at 6 weeks postpartum. The effectiveness of this intervention was related to an increased level of awareness in the men as to how their partners were experiencing the early postpartum weeks. That the effect was only evident for women who, antenatally, reported being low in self-esteem, is an important advance in our knowledge of the effectiveness of such prevention programs. No previous studies have investigated the differential effectiveness of such programs depending upon the woman's level of self-esteem, and this finding indicates that future work should measure this variable. These findings should be understood in the context that the population sampled were those attending preparation for parenthood classes, and thus different interventions will be needed for couples who do not attend such classes. This brief psychosocial intervention can be readily applied to antenatal classes routinely conducted in hospitals or the community.

It focuses on the perceived support pregnant smokers would receive for quitting smoking and how this support could be effectively used by incorporating the education of partners/family in smoking cessation intervention strategies. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed, and data were collected from pregnant smokers through semistructured interviews and self-completed questionnaires. From the questionnaire data, the women reported that they would receive considerable support from their partners if they decided to stop smoking. The interviews, however, revealed that this support was 'potential' rather than 'real' and that the partners mostly made 'token gestures' such as smoking outside. None of the interviewed respondents reported receiving help in educating their partner/family about the risks of active and passive smoking, thus reducing the potential positive role they could play in smoking cessation. Whilst health professionals are aware of the important role the partner/family may play in successful smoking cessation interventions, these significant others are generally not involved. This study highlights the need for consideration to be given to providing opportunities for couples to be fully involved in smoking cessation interventions outside the antenatal environment.

Furthermore, most of the past research examining women's experiences of intimate partner violence and their use of substances has focused on only one type of violence, typically, physical assault. Thus less is known concerning how other important forms of violence, such as psychological aggression and sexual coercion, may be related to women's substance use and substance abuse disorders. This research studies 85 prenatal care patients to describe the women's use of alcohol and illicit drugs, both before and during pregnancy, in relation to their experiences of various types of intimate partner violence before and during pregnancy (including psychological aggression, physical abuse, and sexual coercion). The Conflict Tactics Scales 2 was used to assess the women's experiences of intimate partner violence. The women were asked about their frequency of alcohol use, and alcohol using women were administered a short version of the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test to assess the women for symptoms of alcohol disorder. The women's use of illicit drugs was assessed by asking the women about their frequencies of various types of drug use and drug using women were administered the Drug Abuse Screening Test to assess the women for symptoms of drug disorder. The results showed that before pregnancy, women who were physically assaulted by their partners were somewhat more likely to drink alcohol and use illicit drugs compared with women who did not experience such violence, even though these differences did not reach the traditional level of statistical significance; however, among the substance using women, those who experienced each type of violence were more likely to be frequent users of substances compared with the non-victims, and they evidenced a greater number of substance disorder symptoms compared with the non-victims. After the women became pregnant, the links between women's experiences of intimate partner violence and their use of substances became stronger, with the women who experienced each type of partner violence being more likely to use both alcohol and illicit drugs. Furthermore, among the substance-using women, those who were psychologically and physically abused had somewhat elevated levels of substance disorder symptoms during pregnancy compared with women who did not suffer such victimization. These findings underscore the importance of providing routine screening for various types of violent victimization and substance use within the context of many types of women's health care settings, including substance abuse treatment programs, domestic violence programs, and prenatal care services.

Developmental outcomes of surviving preterm infants have been analysed at the paediatric, neurological, cognitive, and behavioural levels, and a series of perinatal and environmental risk factors have been identified. The threat to the child's survival and invasive medical procedures can be very traumatic for the parents. Few empirical reports have considered post-traumatic stress reactions of the parents as a possible variable affecting a child's outcome. Some studies have described sleeping and eating problems as related to prematurity; these problems are especially critical for the parents. AB - OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of post-traumatic reactions of the parents on sleeping and eating problems of the children. AB - DESIGN: Fifty families with a premature infant (25-33 gestation weeks) and a control group of 25 families with a full term infant participated in the study. Perinatal risks were evaluated during the hospital stay. Mothers and fathers were interviewed when their children were 18 months old about the child's problems and filled in a perinatal post-traumatic stress disorder questionnaire (PPQ). AB - RESULTS: The severity of the perinatal risks only partly predicts a child's problems. Independently of the perinatal risks, the intensity of the post-traumatic reactions of the parents is an important predictor of these problems. AB - CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the parental response to premature birth mediates the risks of later adverse outcomes. Preventive intervention should be promoted.

Bowlby (1988), this study investigated how a personal vulnerability (attachment ambivalence) interacts with perceptions of deficient spousal support before and during a major life stressor (the transition to parenthood) to predict pre-to-postnatal increases in depressive symptoms. Highly ambivalent women who entered parenthood perceiving either less support or greater anger from their husbands experienced pre-to-postnatal increases in depressive symptoms at 6 months postpartum. The associations between these 2 prenatal interaction terms and pre-to-postnatal increases in depressive symptoms were mediated by perceptions of declining spousal support across the transition period. Moreover, for highly ambivalent women, the association between prenatal and postnatal depression scores was mediated by perceptions of the amount of support available from their husbands.

AB - DESIGN: a descriptive comparative study using a structured questionnaire for data collection. AB - SETTING: eleven postnatal wards at the five obstetric and gynaecological departments in the Stockholm area. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 132 fathers of babies born to primiparous teenage mothers (Group A) and the same number of fathers of babies born to primiparous women aged between 25-29 years (Group B) who were present in the postnatal wards. AB - FINDINGS: 43 of Group A compared to 17% of the Group B fathers had their first intercourse before 15 years of age. This early sexual debut was related to other health hazard, such as use of illicit drugs and cigarette smoking. The majority of the pregnancies in Group A were unplanned but most fathers reacted positively to the pregnancy and participated in the antenatal care. In contrast, only half of these fathers attended family classes. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: fathers of babies born to teenage mothers differed from fathers of babies to older mothers regarding reproductive background as well as involvement during pregnancy. The findings of this study challenge midwives to organise clinical practice in order to meet the specific needs of this group.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To describe the characteristics of these cases in North Carolina. AB - DESIGN, SETTING, AND POPULATION: Case series derived from data on all deaths among liveborn infants 0 to 4 days of age reported to the North Carolina medical examiner from 1985 through 2000. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of newborns known to have been killed or discarded by a parent; epidemiological characteristics of newborns and parents. AB - RESULTS: There were 34 newborns known to have been killed or discarded by a parent, comprising 0.002% of all liveborn infants during the 16-year study period, giving a rate of 2.1 per 100 000 per year. A total of 58.8% were male, 41.1% were white, and 52.9% were black. For 29 cases, the perpetrator was determined to be the mother. Among mothers, 50% were single and 20.6% were married (marital status of the remainder was unknown). Thirty-five percent had had other children. Eight mothers (23.5%) were known to have received some prenatal care. The mean age of the mothers was 19.1 years (range, 14-35 years) and more than half were aged 18 years or older. The most common causes of death were asphyxiation/strangulation (41.1%) and drowning (26.5%). AB - CONCLUSIONS: In North Carolina, at least 2.1 per 100 000 newborns are known to be killed or left to die per year, usually by their mothers. It is unknown how many of these deaths might be prevented by Safe Haven laws. Efforts to educate the public about these laws need to target the general public.

This paper draws on the findings of a larger ethnographic study of men's transition to fatherhood in the United Kingdom (UK) and discusses men's experiences of pregnancy confirmation. AB - METHODS: A longitudinal ethnographic approach was chosen to investigate men's 'real life' accounts of their transition to fatherhood. A mixture of 'novice' and experienced fathers (n = 18) were recruited from antenatal classes in the north of the UK during 1998. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on three occasions, twice during their partner's pregnancy and once afterwards. AB - FINDINGS: Framed by the context of the contemporary construction of involved fatherhood, the men frequently spoke of their desire to be 'involved' with their partner's pregnancy and yet reported difficulty in engaging with its reality. They nevertheless participated in a range of activities - body-mediated-moments - which brought them closer to their partner's pregnant body and therefore their unborn baby. These activities centred on pregnancy confirmation, announcement, foetal movements, the ultrasound scan, and culminated in their presence during labour and delivery. This paper discusses their involvement in the process of pregnancy confirmation. AB - CONCLUSION: The men's experiences of early pregnancy were marked forcefully by their involvement in the confirmation process. This activity gave men entry into a physical dimension, helping them forge an involvement in the pregnancy and shape their early transition to fatherhood. Implications for practice. The study has provided insight into expectant men's experiences of pregnancy and contributed to the understanding of the changing nature of contemporary fatherhood in the UK. Recognition of men's changing roles in pregnancy, and greater insight into their experiences should be of relevance to all those supporting the transition to parenthood, including midwives, obstetricians, ultrasonographers and childbirth educators. Such increased awareness should inform the antenatal support given to men and reinforce the importance of relevant antenatal preparation that effectively meets the needs of not only expectant women, but also expectant men.

AB - DESIGN: A community based cross-sectional study using the preceding birth technique--a robust method of obtaining information of survival of the previous child. AB - SETTING: A rural district in Eastern Uganda. AB - PARTICIPANTS: In total, 2888 multigravidae were interviewed in April and May 1999. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Number of deaths among children born alive. AB - RESULTS: The under-two child mortality rate was 108 per 1000 livebirths. The annual child mortality was 82 per 1000 child-years of risk. Child mortality was associated with low parental education, being born to adolescent mothers or mothers aged 35 or more. Unconditional logistic regression showed that children born to uneducated parents had a doubled risk of not celebrating their second birthday. It was three times more likely for a child to die in the neonatal period than in the first year of life. Child mortality risk decreased by 4% and 6% for every year of education attained by mothers and fathers, respectively. Parity, residence and marital status were not associated with excess risk of child mortality. Seasonal mortality followed the El Nino rainfall pattern. Finally, there were geographical differences in child mortality although this was not statistically significant. AB - CONCLUSION: Monitoring trends in child mortality at district level can be done using the preceding birth technique in antenatal settings. Maternal education, an important predictor of child survival should be included in routine data collection at clinics.

A prenatal instructors' education module preventing the learning of violence as acceptable behaviour by children in their first year of life was developed by a health promoting hospital in partnership with its community. Children learn through observing significant adults in their life. Parents are important influences on the children's behaviour, and good (or bad) patterns are passed on from generation to generation. Some abuse occurs because people (primarily males) lack the skills to resolve conflict and stress in a positive way and resort to abuse. The project's intent is to help expectant parents reduce abusive behaviours. This parental modelling awareness program has the potential to be introduced into different high risk groups, day-care centres and multicultural settings.

The study aimed to develop a snapshot image of teenage mothers. Of the thirty mothers who participated; just over half (16/30; 53%) reported using contraceptives, less than a third (8/30; 27%) used condoms to protect themselves from STDs and the majority (23/30; 77%) said their pregnancy was unplanned. Despite this, 16 (53%) attended prenatal classes, 16 (53%) breast-fed their infants and 27 (90%) were satisfied with motherhood. On average the fathers were almost four years older than the mother were (range 17 to 29 years), most fathers (23/30; 77%) were not teenagers themselves and only 11 (37%) were resident fathers following the birth of the baby. Exploratory analysis suggests that the fathers were significantly older than the teenage mothers were (t = -6.73, df 29, p = 0.0001). Although these preliminary results are similar to those reported in the American literature further research is needed to confirm if the findings presented are representative of teenage mothers in Australia. While we await the results of future studies, practitioners are encouraged to continue to educate young women about appropriate and safer sexual practices.

In rats, we have recently shown that maternal food restriction during late pregnancy induces both an intrauterine growth retardation and an overexposure of fetuses to maternal corticosterone, which disturb the development of the HPA axis in offspring. The first aim of this work was to investigate, in adult male rats, whether perinatal malnutrition has long-lasting effects on the HPA axis activity during both basal and stressful conditions. Moreover, as the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system are both activated by stress, the second aim of this work was to investigate, in these rats, the adrenomedullary catecholaminergic system under basal and stressful conditions. This study was conducted on 4-month-old male rats malnourished during their perinatal life and on age-matched control animals. Under basal conditions, perinatal malnutrition reduced body weight and plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) level but increased mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) gene expression in CA1 hippocampal area. After 30 min of restraint, perinatally malnourished (PM) rats showed increased plasma noradrenaline, adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone concentrations similarly as controls, but calculated plasma-free corticosterone concentration was significantly higher and adrenaline level lower than controls. During the phase of recovery, PM rats showed a rapid return of plasma ACTH and corticosterone concentrations to baseline levels in comparison with controls. These data suggest that in PM rats, an elevation of basal concentrations of corticosterone, in face of reduced CBG and probably increased hippocampal MR lead to a much larger impact of corticosterone on target cells that mediate the negative-feedback mechanism on the activities of both the HPA axis and sympathoadrenal one.

Participants were first-time expectant parents living in low and middle-income areas. After a formative study on the roles of various family members in health during the period surrounding a first birth, an antenatal-clinic-based education programme for women and for couples was carried out as a randomised, controlled study. Based on the results, separate community-based antenatal education programmes for expectant mothers and expectant fathers were tested. There was demand among many pregnant women and some of their husbands for including expectant fathers in antenatal education. In the short term, these programmes seemed to have positive effects on women and men's reproductive health knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. In the clinic-based programme the positive effects of including men were mainly in the area of post-partum family planning, while in the community-based programme positive effects among men were also seen in the areas of infant health, infant feeding and spousal communication and support. Free antenatal education should be made available to all expectant mothers and when possible, men should be included, either together with their wives or in a culture such as that of Turkey, in separate groups.

AB - DESIGN: Twins were randomly selected from the East Flanders Prospective Twin Survey, a population-based historic twin cohort. AB - SUBJECTS: Male members of 229 twin pairs between 18 and 34 y of age who participated in the Prenatal Programming Twin Study. AB - MEASUREMENTS: Adult body mass, height, BMI, lean body mass, sum of skinfolds and waist-to-hip-ratio. Lean body mass, sum of skinfolds and waist-to-hip-ratio were also adjusted for body mass. Intra-pair difference in adult anthropometric measures between the heaviest and the lightest twin at birth. AB - RESULTS: Per kg increase in birth weight, body mass (4.2 kg), height (3.3 cm), lean body mass (3.1 kg) and to a lesser extent BMI (0.49 kg/m(2)) increased, whereas waist-to-hip-ratio (-1.4%) and sum of skinfolds (-0.11 s.d.) decreased, when adjusted for body mass. In a pair-wise analysis, the heavier twin at birth was taller and heavier as an adult, but, when adjusted for body mass, he had a lower waist-to-hip-ratio, less subcutaneous fat, and more lean body mass, compared to his lighter sib. Intra-pair difference in body composition was associated with intra-pair birth weight difference in monozygotic and dizygotic twins. AB - CONCLUSIONS: An adverse intra-uterine environment, as measured by birth weight, is associated with more subcutaneous and abdominal fat and less lean body mass in adulthood. This association is independent of maternal and genetic influences. However, we cannot exclude the existence of genes that act on both birth weight and adult body composition.

AB - DESIGN: Survey of sleep practices and beliefs. Randomized, controlled trial of a teaching intervention. AB - SETTING: Managed care prenatal clinic for normal risk obstetrics patients. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Low-income pregnant women, self-identified as African American. An SCG is an older family member or friend to whom they would go for advice about routine child care. Pregnant women randomly assigned to the control group (educated about safe sleep practices) or the experimental group (education for both pregnant women and their SCG). AB - INTERVENTION: During the third trimester, 2 teaching sessions for pregnant women (both control and experimental groups) and for the experimental group's SCGs. One-on-one teaching emphasizing that infants should sleep supine. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: During the third trimester, description of rate of preference for prone sleep for infants among pregnant women and SCGs. Effects of teaching SCGs on (1) SCGs' postnatal beliefs about sleep position as a means to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, and (2) the eventual rate of prone sleeping among study infants. AB - RESULTS: One hundred twenty-five women were in the control group; 98 pregnant women and SCG pairs were in the experimental group. Senior caregivers were 47.1 +/- 12.4 years old (mean +/- SD). Most were grandmothers (either maternal, 72.5%, or paternal, 14.3%) or aunts or sisters (10.2%). No differences were noted in the prenatal rates of the prone preference (controls, 36.3%; experimental group, 35.7%; and SCGs, 34.7%). Teaching SCGs did not increase the rate of the usual prone sleep in the experimental vs the control group (13.3% vs 17.3%, chi(2) = 0.59, P =.44, 95% confidence interval for difference from -5.8% to +13.8%). After the teaching and during the pregnancy, the SCGs became less worried that the infant was susceptible to sudden infant death syndrome (chi(2) = 16.6, P =.003) or likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome (chi(2) = 24.7, P<.001). Their concerns about sudden infant death syndrome were significantly less postnatally, in particular when the infant was placed supine (chi(2) = 19.4, P<.001). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Most African American women and SCGs endorsed the supine sleeping position for infants. Among a group of African American infants, prenatal teaching of their grandmothers and other SCGs did not have a statistically significant incremental effect on the rates of the usual prone sleeping position. Contrary to our starting hypothesis, the SCGs of pregnant women who receive prenatal care seemed responsive to messages about supine sleeping. The Back-to-Sleep message should be delivered prenatally, but special prenatal interventions should attempt to reach women who do not receive prenatal care and SCGs who persist in their opposition to the supine sleeping position.

AB - SETTING: Infants born in the United States to mothers who were white (non-Hispanic), African American, Mexican American, and Native American. AB - METHODS: Linked infant birth and death data from the National Center for Health Statistics for 1989-91 were analyzed to calculate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios for death due to homicide or unintentional injury within the first year of life. In addition to maternal race and birth weight, the risk of death was adjusted for maternal age, prenatal care, maternal education, paternal education, marital status, birth order, interval since last pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy, and alcohol intake during pregnancy. AB - RESULTS: Among 10.7 million births during 1989-91, 821 homicides and 2397 unintentional deaths were reported in infants. Relative to whites, African Americans were at highest risk for homicides (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios = 3.6 (95% confidence interval = 3.1 to 4.2) and 1.6 (1.3 to 1.9), respectively) and Native Americans at highest risk for unintentional injuries (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios = 3.8 (3.0 to 4.8) and 2.1 (1.7 to 2.6), respectively). After accounting for other sociodemographic factors, Mexican American infants appeared protected from injury (adjusted odds ratio = 0.7 (0.6 to 1.0) for homicides and 0.7 (0.6 to 0.8) for unintentional injuries). An inverse effect of birth weight was seen-as birth weight decreased, risk of homicides and unintentional injuries increased. After adjustment for the sociodemographic factors, very low birthweight babies were still at substantially increased risk of homicides with an odds ratio of 2.1 (1.4 to 3.1) and unintentional injuries with an odds ratio of 2.9 (2.4 to 3.7). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Using a large national data-set, the effect of race as a risk factor for fatal infant injuries was mostly explained by birth weight and other sociodemographic factors. Preventable risk factors need to be identified for African Americans and Native Americans, in particular. Birth weight is an important independent risk factor; very low birthweight babies should be monitored for both homicide and unintentional injury.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the dose-response effect of prenatal alcohol exposure for adverse child behavior outcomes at 6 to 7 years of age. AB - METHODS: Beginning in 1986, women attending the urban university-based maternity clinic were routinely screened at their first prenatal visit for alcohol and drug use by trained research assistants from the Fetal Alcohol Research Center. All women reporting alcohol consumption at conception of at least 0.5 oz absolute alcohol/day and a 5% random sample of lower level drinkers and abstainers were invited to participate to be able to identify the associations between alcohol intake and child development. Maternal alcohol, cigarette, and illicit drug use were prospectively assessed during pregnancy and postnatally. The independent variable in this study, prenatal alcohol exposure, was computed as the average absolute alcohol intake (oz) per day across pregnancy. At each prenatal visit, mothers were interviewed about alcohol use during the previous 2 weeks. Quantities and types of alcohol consumed were converted to fluid ounces of absolute alcohol and averaged across visits to generate a summary measure of alcohol exposure throughout pregnancy. Alcohol was initially used as a dichotomous variable comparing children with no prenatal alcohol exposure to children with any exposure. To evaluate the effects of different levels of exposure, the average absolute alcohol intake was relatively arbitrarily categorized into no, low (>0 but <0.3 fl oz of absolute alcohol/day), and moderate/heavy (>/=0.3 fl oz of absolute alcohol/day) for the purpose of this study. Six years later, 665 families were contacted. Ninety-four percent agreed to testing. Exclusions included children who missed multiple test appointments, had major congenital malformations (other than fetal alcohol syndrome), possessed an IQ >2 standard deviations from the sample mean, or had incomplete data. The Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used to assess child behavior. The CBCL is a parent questionnaire applicable to children ages 4 to 16 years. It is widely used in the clinical assessment of children's behavior problems and has been extensively used in research. Eight syndrome scales are further grouped into Externalizing or undercontrolled (Aggressive and Delinquent) behavior and Internalizing or overcontrolled (Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, and Withdrawn) behaviors. Three syndromes (Social, Thought, and Attention Problems) fit neither group. Higher scores are associated with more problem behaviors. Research assistants who were trained and blinded to exposure status independently interviewed the child and caretaker. Data were collected on a broad range of control variables known to influence childhood behavior and/or to be associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. These included perinatal factors of maternal age, education, cigarette, cocaine, and other substances of abuse and the gestational age of the baby. Postnatal factors studied included maternal psychopathology, continuing alcohol and drug use, family structure, socioeconomic status, children's whole blood lead level, and exposure to violence. Data were collected only from black women as there was inadequate representation of other racial groups. AB - STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical package. Frequency distribution, cross-tabulation, odds ratio, and chi(2) tests were used for analyzing categorical data. Continuous data were analyzed using t tests, analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with posthoc tests, and regression analysis. AB - RESULTS: Testing was available for 501 parent-children dyads. Almost one fourth of the women denied alcohol use during pregnancy. Low levels of alcohol use were reported in 63.8% and moderate/heavy use in 13% of pregnancies. Increasing prenatal alcohol exposure was associated with lower birth weight and gestational age, higher lead levels, higher maternal age, and lower education level, prenatal exposure to cocaine and smoking, custody changes, lower socioeconomic status, and paternal drinking and drug use at the time of pregnancy. Children with any prenatal alcohol exposure were more likely to have higher CBCL scores on Externalizing (Aggressive and Delinquent) and Internalizing (Anxious/Depressed and Withdrawn) syndrome scales and the Total Problem Score. The odds ratio of scoring in the clinical range for Delinquent behavior was 3.2 (1.3-7.6) in children with any prenatal exposure to alcohol compared with nonexposed controls. The threshold dose was evaluated with the 3 prenatal alcohol exposure groups. One-way ANOVA revealed a significant between group difference for Externalizing (Aggressive and Delinquent) and the Total Problem Score.

This study examined the interaction between fathers' information-seeking coping predispositions and their level of attendance at antenatal classes with respect to their experiences of attending childbirth. Associations between fathers' childbirth experiences, their relationship with their baby, and level of depressive symptomatology at 6 weeks postpartum were also examined. AB - METHODS: A quantitative methodology was employed in which 78 fathers completed several questionnaires, some within 6 days of childbirth and others at 6 weeks postpartum. AB - RESULTS: Fathers who were characterized as high blunters (avoiders) of threat information, from antenatal classes reported that experiencing childbirth was less fulfilling than fathers with similar coping styles who did not attend classes. Fathers' reports of fulfillment and delight while attending childbirth were negatively related to their level of depressive symptomatology at 6 weeks postpartum. Levels of distress were associated with subsequent depressive symptoms, but their effect was removed when preexisting depressive symptoms were partialled out. Fathers whose children were born by cesarean delivery used significantly more negative adjectives to describe their baby at 6 weeks postpartum compared with those born by vaginal delivery. More married fathers attended antenatal classes and reported lower levels of depressive symptomatology than unmarried fathers. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Although fathers' attendance at antenatal classes may have positive consequences for them and their partner, for some fathers, attendance at classes may be associated with less positive reports of experiencing childbirth. The way in which men experience childbirth may have some influence on their subsequent emotional well-being.

Such programs are usually offered to groups but may be offered to individuals. AB - OBJECTIVES: The objective of this review was to assess the effects of this education on knowledge acquisition, anxiety, sense of control, pain, support, breastfeeding, infant care abilities, and psychological and social adjustment. AB - SEARCH STRATEGY: The Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and other databases were searched. The date of the last search was December, 1999. AB - SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials of any structured educational program provided during pregnancy by an educator to either parent, that included information related to pregnancy, birth, or parenthood were included. The educational interventions could have been provided on an individual or group basis. Educational interventions directed exclusively to either increasing breastfeeding success or reducing smoking were excluded, since reviews of these topics can be found elsewhere in The Cochrane Library. AB - DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Trial quality was assessed and data were extracted by the author from published reports. AB - MAIN RESULTS: Six trials, involving 1443 women, were included. Twenty-two were excluded. The largest of the included studies (n = 1275) examined an educational intervention to increase vaginal birth after cesarean section. This high quality study showed similar rates of vaginal birth after cesarean section in 'verbal' and 'document' groups, relative risk (RR) 1.1 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-1.2). More general educational interventions were the focus of the other five studies (combined n = 168). The methodological quality of these trials is uncertain, since details of the randomization procedure, allocation concealment, and/or participant accrual/loss were not reported. No consistent results were found. Sample sizes were very small, ranging from 10-67. Interventions, populations, and outcomes measured were different in each study. No data from the five general education trials were reported concerning labour and birth outcomes, anxiety, breastfeeding success, or general social support. Knowledge acquisition and factors related to infant care competencies were measured. AB - REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: Individualized prenatal education directed toward avoidance of a cesarean birth does not increase the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean section. The effects of general antenatal education for childbirth and/or parenthood remain unknown.

AB - SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Volunteer study subjects were recruited from first-trimester prenatal classes in Kingston, Ontario, in February 1999. Twenty-three dads provided saliva samples from recruitment through 3 months after the birth of their children. Fourteen men who were not fathers were recruited from the general population to serve as age-matched controls for season and time of day. Estradiol, testosterone, and cortisol levels were quantified. AB - RESULTS: After controlling for effects of time of day and season, dads had lower mean +/- SE testosterone (6.5+/-0.7 vs 10.0+/-0.9 ng/dL; P<.005) and cortisol (morning values, 0.30+/-0.05 vs 0.53+/-0.05 microg/dL; P<.005) concentrations, a higher proportion of samples with detectable estradiol concentrations (68% [308/454] vs 57% [87/154]; P=.01), and higher estradiol concentrations in those detectable samples (3.81+/-0.09 pg/mL [13 dads] vs 3.26+/-0.11 pg/mL [9 controls]; P<.002) than did control men. Within 10 individual dads with frequent samples before and after the birth, the percentage of samples with detectable estradiol was lower during the month before the birth than during the month after (51% vs 71%; P=.02), and cortisol concentration was increased in the week before the birth (to a mean of 0.16 microg/dL). In each of 13 dads providing frequent samples, testosterone concentration and variance were low immediately after the birth (no change from previous levels in 5, decrease after prebirth increase in 3, and decrease relative to all other times in 5). AB - CONCLUSIONS: In this population of Canadian volunteers attending prenatal classes, expectant fathers had lower testosterone and cortisol levels and a higher proportion of samples with detectable estradiol concentrations than control subjects. Individual patterns of testosterone variance relative to the birth and estradiol and cortisol concentrations immediately before the birth may be worthy of further investigation. The physiologic importance of these hormonal changes, if any, is not known. However, they are hormones known to influence maternal behavior.

Prior studies have shown that 36% of parental diagnostic descriptions are incorrect. AB - OBJECTIVES: To assess parental knowledge and attitudes among outpatients at a hospital pediatric cardiology clinic. AB - METHODS: Seventy-four families completed a questionnaire in which they described their child's condition and stated their attitude towards dental hygiene and future prenatal diagnosis. AB - RESULTS: Eighteen percent of the parents failed to describe their child's malformation correctly. We found that parental understanding of the heart defect correlated with parental education. Future prenatal diagnosis was considered by 88% of families, and termination of pregnancy by 40%. Only 40% of children were aware of their heart problem. Children of parents who were ignorant about the condition tended to lack knowledge themselves. An additional finding was that 68% of Jewish families turn to non-medical personnel for medical advice--an interesting finding not hitherto addressed. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Ignorance of their child's problem did not correlate with its severity or complexity but rather with parental background: the less educated the parent, the more likely was the problem perceived incorrectly.

Out of 50 prenatal RHD tests performed over the past 5 years, four samples were encountered that gave false-positive results. In only one of the tests, incorrect results were issued to the physician. In the other three instances, the erroneous nature of the test results was revealed through the analysis of multiple regions of the RHD gene and, more importantly, because the mother, and sometimes the father, were tested in parallel with the fetus. In an extension of the observations obtained from the prenatal testing program, a large panel of RhD-negative blood donors were subjected to molecular analysis of the RHD gene. Of 1,183 donors screened, 187 were found to phenotype as RhD negative. Of the 187 donors confirmed RhD negative serologically, 22 (11.8%) were found to retain remnants of the RHD gene that, depending upon the characteristics of the molecular assay performed, could lead to a false-positive result in a genotyping assay. On the basis of the experience presented here, it is recommended that any molecular RHD assay include an analysis of multiple areas of the RHD gene so as to allow for the detection of recombination/gene conversion events between the RHD and RHCE genes. Moreover, it is strongly recommended that the mother (at a minimum) and father be subjected to molecular analysis simultaneously with the fetus to confirm that the known phenotypes of the parent(s) are consistent with their respective genotypes.

AB - DESIGN: Population-based case-control study. AB - SETTING: Nonfederal hospitals in Washington State. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Infants born from 1987 to 1995 to mothers younger than 20 years were identified using linked birth certificate-state hospital discharge data. Cases consisted of 8052 infants who were hospitalized during the first year of life at least 2 days after birth hospitalization discharge. An equal number of controls, frequency matched on birth year and maternal age group, were randomly sampled from among nonhospitalized infants. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Hospitalization in the first year of life. AB - RESULTS: Infants with a father listed on the birth certificate or whose mothers had commercial health insurance had a decreased risk of hospitalization (adjusted odds ratios, 0.91 and 0.78, respectively; 95% confidence intervals, 0.83-0.99 and 0.71-0.85, respectively). Participation in state-funded pregnancy programs, adequacy of prenatal care, or marital status did not affect the risk of hospitalization, except among infants whose mothers received more than adequate prenatal care (adjusted odds ratio, 1.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.29). AB - CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that teenaged mothers who list a father on the birth certificate or who have insurance, indicative of higher socioeconomic status, may have a reduced risk of hospitalization for their infants. Teenaged mothers who receive more than adequate prenatal care may have pregnancy complications that place their infants at increased risk of hospitalization. The effect of these protective factors should be clarified in future studies.

The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess differences in the knowledge and perceptions of normal child development, and expectations for paternal responsibilities between unmarried, low-income African American and Mexican American adolescent mothers and their males partners. Seven unmarried adolescent mothers participated in a focus group interview held at a family service agency in the Midwest. Afterward, their male partners and reported fathers of their babies, participated in a separate focus group interview The mean age of the adolescent mother participants was 16.7 years, the mean age of their partners was 19.3 years. Data were analyzed using a tape-based analysis method. A number of differences were identified between the perceptions of the adolescent mothers and young fathers including their level of child development knowledge, context for selecting physical methods of discipline, expectations for paternal role behaviors, and feelings about child support payments and establishing legal paternity. The study findings may help health care providers develop more effective prenatal and parenting educational experiences for adolescent parents.

A convenience sample of 45 primigravid women was selected from the postpartum unit of a public hospital in Hong Kong. They were all first-time Chinese mothers, aged 18 or over, who had attended antenatal classes and had their partners present during labour. The State Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure maternal anxiety during labour. Labour pain was measured by the Visual Analogue Scale. A series of scales were developed to measure partners' participation during labour. Women's ratings of partners' practical support were significantly lower than their ratings of partners' emotional support. There were no significant associations between level of emotional support and maternal outcome measures. However, perceived practical support was positively related to the dosage of pain-relieving drug used and total length of labour. Positive relationships between the duration of partners' presence and women's ratings of perceived support provided by partners during labour were also found.

AB - METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire was developed to collect data on physicians' screening practices and their beliefs about screening for female partner abuse. The survey was mailed to all primary care physicians practicing in Alaska. The response rate was 80% (305/383). These analyses were limited to physicians who indicated that they provided prenatal care (n = 157). AB - RESULTS: More than one-half of respondents providing prenatal care estimated that 10% or more of their female patients had experienced abuse. Less than one-half of respondents had recent training on partner abuse. Only 17% of respondents routinely screened at the first prenatal visit and 5% at follow-up visits. Respondents were more likely to screen at the first prenatal visit compared to follow-up visits. Multivariate analyses failed to support any associations between physicians' characteristics and screening practices. Physicians' perception that abuse was prevalent among their patients and physicians' belief that they have a responsibility to deal with abuse were the only variables that were independently associated with screening at prenatal visits. Other barriers frequently cited in the literature were not predictive of screening. AB - CONCLUSION: Most Alaskan physicians do not routinely screen for abuse during prenatal visits. Medical education should increase physicians' index of suspicion for abuse, emphasize physicians' responsibility to address partner abuse, and reinforce the importance of routine screening throughout the pregnancy. More research is needed to identify barriers to screening and strategies for integrating routine screening into prenatal care.

AB - SETTING: A family medicine practice of a 530-bed community-based hospital in northwestern Pennsylvania. AB - PARTICIPANTS: All mothers whose infants received well-child care from birth to 1 year of age. AB - OUTCOME MEASURE: A survey of 28 simple questions was developed and mailed to 245 mothers. The survey assessed: 1) demographics, 2) prenatal and postnatal care, 3) sources of breastfeeding information, 4) timing of decision, 5) preference, 6) type of feeding selected, 7) duration of breastfeeding, 8) factors influencing decisions to breastfeed and/or to bottle-feed, and 9) factors that would have encouraged bottle-feeding mothers to breastfeed. AB - RESULTS: The breastfeeding initiation rate was 44.3%. By the time the infant was 6 months old, only 13% of these were still breastfeeding. The decision to breastfeed or to bottle-feed was most often made before pregnancy or during the first trimester. The most common reasons mothers chose breastfeeding included: 1) benefits the infant's health, 2) naturalness, and 3) emotional bonding with the infant. The most common reasons bottle-feeding was chosen included: 1) mother's perception of father's attitude, 2) uncertainty regarding the quantity of breast milk, and 3) return to work. By self-report, factors that would have encouraged bottle-feeding mothers to breastfeed included: 1) more information in prenatal class; 2) more information from TV, magazines, and books; and 3) family support. AB - CONCLUSIONS: To overcome obstacles, issues surrounding perceived barriers, such as father's attitude, quantity of milk, and time constraints, need to be discussed with each parent. To achieve the goal of 75% of breastfeeding mothers, extensive education regarding the benefits must be provided for both parents and optimally the grandmother by physicians, nurses, and the media before pregnancy or within the first trimester.

AB - METHODS: We included a total of 149 couples who were living together, expecting their first child, and enrolled in prenatal classes presented by 2 metropolitan hospitals. The couples completed a prenatal survey containing information about demographic characteristics and prenatal work responsibilities and a worksheet listing the number of hours per week that each partner planned to devote to various household, child care, and employment responsibilities at 6 months postpartum. AB - RESULTS: Though both men and women anticipated large increases in workload from the prenatal to the postpartum period, women expected greater increases (85% vs 53%). As a result of their greater anticipated involvement in household work and child care, women planned to work 9 hours more per week than men after the arrival of the baby. These expectant parents tended to occupy somewhat traditional gender work roles, with women contributing more time to cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping, and men devoting more time to lawn care, snow removal, household repairs, and employment. Men appeared to be more satisfied than women with their partner's contribution to household work (mean=6.0 and 5.4; P=.000). Partners' perceptions of how they shared household work were congruent, with 90% of the couples' summed congruency scores in the range within 1 point of a perfect match. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Expectant parents in this study anticipated large increases in workload after childbirth. The projected work increases were greater for women than for men. It is interesting to note that these gender differences are anticipated even when couples were given an opportunity to systematically plan their postpartum work distribution together.

The purpose of this study was to test the interactive effect of material cigarette smoking during pregnancy and the absence of the father from the household in predicting early onset of offending. The longitudinal data utilized for this study of 215 inner-city, African-American youth offenders were taken from the Philadelphia portion of the Collaborative Perinatal Project. A logistic regression analysis indicated that the combined effect of maternal cigarette smoking and absence of father from the household had a significant influence in predicting early onset of offending beyond the direct effects of the independent variables while controlling for sex of youth.

AB - DESIGN: Three tape-recorded interviews were performed: before and after childbirth preparation, and between one and three weeks after the baby was born. AB - SETTING: Swedish maternity care. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Eleven men who participated with their partners in antenatal classes. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND FINDINGS: The interviews were analysed in several steps and included co-assessments by co-workers. Finally, an interpretation based on the concept 'vital involvement' was undertaken. Indications of vital involvement as well as various levels of involvement or distance were found. The participation in childbirth was more demanding than expected for the eleven men. They felt unprepared for an unpredictable process, the experience of time and pain, the woman's action, and their own reactions. The men who were regarded by the authors as vitally involved seemed to manage overwhelming feelings of helplessness during childbirth, to support the women, and experience the meeting with the baby positively. AB - KEY CONCLUSION: It seems important for midwives to meet men individually, design childbirth preparation from men's perspective, follow up interpretations of the content, discuss expectations with regard to the men's role, and assess their experiences during the birth process.

AB - DESIGN: Quasiexperimental study. AB - METHOD: A nonrandomized convenience sample of treatment group (TG) couples (n = 35) who attended an additional prenatal three-class series was compared to a control group (CG) from childbirth education classes on measures of videotaped parent-child interaction using the NCATS tool. The intervention class series was based on individual and couple changes in meaning/identity, roles, and relationship/interaction during the transition to parenthood. It addressed mother/father roles, infant communication abilities, and patterns of the first 3 months of life in a mutually enjoyable, possibility-focused way. AB - RESULTS: T-tests and ANCOVA on NCATS scores between groups showed higher TG scores for mothers in sensitivity to cues, for fathers in social-emotional growth fostering, and for couple mean scores in social-emotional growth fostering, couple mean response to child distress, caregiver total, and caregiver-child total. Higher contingency scores were also found in the TG group. Fewer TG mothers and fathers fell below NCATS lower cutoff scores. AB - CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Interventions that enhance mutual parent-child interaction through increased sensitivity to cues and responsiveness to infant needs or signals are important avenues for facilitating secure attachment, father and mother involvement, optimal development, and prevention of child abuse and neglect. The positive approach to this intervention invites couples to see themselves as developing with their infants over time, and to view their infants in new ways that will help develop satisfying, self-reinforcing patterns of interaction.

AB - DESIGN: Grounded theory. AB - METHODS: Seventeen couples were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format. AB - RESULTS: Two major concepts were identified: "Losing Her" and "She's Back." The men reported that these were the two critical points at which the epidural affected their experience. The theory, "Cruising through Labor," explained the fathers' experiences. AB - CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Childbirth preparation classes that describe and explain women's responses to the increasing pain of labor contractions, the exhaustion of labor, and the effect of epidural analgesia could possibly assist men in preparing for the changes they will witness in their partners during the labor experience. Knowing that these changes are normal responses to the effects of labor might reduce men's levels of anxiety, frustration, and sense of helplessness. The labor nurse is a major support to the expectant fathers. Labor nurses who remain in the room during this phase, explain what is happening, and include the expectant father in their nursing care provide the best support.

The children died postnatally and showed typical radiological and biochemical findings of perinatal hypophosphatasia. Biochemical analysis revealed a low activity of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and a high value of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), one of its natural substrates. The screening for mutations of the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene showed homozygosity for a point mutation (G 317 --> D) in the two affected children of the first family. The affected child of the second family was homozygous for a nonsense mutation (R 411 --> X). Family screening revealed that the determination of AP and PLP is helpful for detection of heterozygotes. However, heterozygote children had values of AP in the lower normal range during phases of rapid growth. The determination of PLP proved to be more sensitive in these cases. It should be kept in mind that during the last trimester of gestation there is an increase in maternal AP activity and a normalization of PLP due to placental AP, which is not affected. Therefore, in the course of a prenatal diagnosis in an index case, paternal blood should be analyzed in parallel. For detailed genetic counseling and early prenatal diagnosis in following pregnancies, the possibility of mutation analysis should be used.

AB - RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The data were obtained from children born in Denmark during the periods 1978-1982 and 1984-1986 and admitted to a Danish hospital with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes between 1978 and 1995; 857 patients fulfilled the criteria. The study was conducted by combining and analyzing two national registries: the National Patient Registry and the Medical Birth Registry. For each diabetic child, two control children were randomly selected, matched by sex, time, and district of delivery. AB - RESULTS: By multivariate logistic regression analysis, the following significant determinants were identified. Male offspring showed decreased risk when born of mothers who had had one or more abortions (odds ratio [OR] 0.66 [95% CI 0.48-0.92]) and with long duration of gestation (linearly with OR 0.91 per week [0.85-0.99]), while increased risk was found for high maternal age (linearly with OR 1.03 per year [1.00-1.06]). Female offspring showed no such association. No significant differences between diabetic patients and control subjects were found with respect to paternal age, maternal parity, placental weight or any of the birth size parameters, or interventions and complications during delivery. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that perinatal determinants may influence the risk of subsequent development of type 1 diabetes in a sex-specific manner.

AB - DESIGN: A qualitative approach. Participants were accessed through community sources. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews, lasting on average three and a half hours. Interviews were taped, transcribed verbatim and analysed using a range of methods which sought to ground theoretical insights in the data. AB - SETTING: England. AB - PARTICIPANTS: Forty primiparous and multiparous mothers of young children, living with the father of their child(ren), with varying experiences of motherhood. AB - FINDINGS: Eighteen of the 40 women experienced postnatal depression. The depression centered around the women's unwillingness or inability to disclose their feelings and difficulties to partners, family, friends or health professionals. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Implications for the potential role of midwives in helping women at risk of, or experiencing postnatal depression are discussed in terms of the following issues: training courses; antenatal classes; the birth experience; early identification of postnatal depression; talking and listening to women; referral to relevant health professionals or voluntary organisations; a continuum of support from pregnancy to the postnatal period; and cultural issues.

I identified a total of 128,239 women who had two consecutive births during 1989-1991 through data linkage of the California birth certificates. Paternal date of birth and names on the records of the two consecutive births were compared to determine whether the same father was reported on both records. Three cohorts of women were formed on the basis of the gestational age of their first delivery: <34, 34-36, and >36 weeks. If parental HLA sharing is associated with preterm delivery, the likelihood of HLA sharing was expected to be in a decreasing order from most likely among a <34-week cohort to least likely among a >36-week cohort. Among women in the <34-week cohort, changing partners resulted in a 33% reduction in the risk of early preterm delivery in the subsequent pregnancy compared with those who did not change partners [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.52-0.88]. In contrast, among women in the >36-week cohort, changing partners led to a 16% increase in the risk of early preterm delivery in the subsequent pregnancy (95% CI = 1.04-1.30). Among women in the 34-36-week cohort, changing partners did not affect the risk of preterm delivery (95% CI = 0.78-1.25). These estimates were adjusted for maternal race/ethnicity, age, educational level, prenatal smoking, prenatal care, parity, and interval from birth to conception of the subsequent pregnancy. The findings from this study suggest that the effect of changing paternity depends on the pregnancy outcome with the previous partner and support the hypothesis that parental HLA sharing may be related to preterm delivery.

In this article, theories of adult learning are examined and the ways in which they can be used with childbearing couples are illustrated. The process is to identify the learner's needs and apply the appropriate theory and methods. The emotional context in which learning occurs is underscored as is the use of a facilitator rather than a teacher role. In addition, the health care providers' experiences must be considered, because their agreement with the learning plan is critical for developing a partnership with the couple. Two examples are presented, one through a group childbirth education experience and the other through the participation of women and health care providers in developing a hand-held patient record.

The logistic binomial analysis shows that socioeconomic factors are significant, especially women's education and region, and that the type of prenatal care received by the mother is also important. There is a strong familial correlation of vaccination behaviours, and there is also clustering of data within enumeration areas. OA - PIP: This article presents a study of the socioeconomic determinants of use of immunization in Ghana. Data were obtained from the 1988 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey. The sample was self-weighting and included 4488 females aged 15-49 years and a subsample of 943 coresident spouses. The sample included 3690 children aged under 5 years, of whom 21.2% were 1 year olds. Immunization was determined by the child's health card record or maternal recall. Many young infants and older children had no health card. Over 60% of children without a health card did not receive vaccinations. Over 50% of children aged over 11 months who had a health card were not vaccinated. There were many dropouts from receipt of the triple vaccine and oral polio series and measles vaccinations. Unimmunized children tended to come from rural families in the northern region in which fathers were agricultural workers and mothers were illiterate. In the 150 enumeration areas (EAs), an average of 23 children were vaccinated. The number of vaccinated children ranged from 5 to 69 children per EA. 42% of children in the sample had no siblings. Logistic analysis included fixed effects and random effects models. Significant factors related to immunization were the child's age, place of residence, maternal education, father's occupation, region, and type of prenatal care. Vaccination was unrelated to maternal age, radio listening, and deaths of siblings. Findings indicate that familial correlation was present in the sibling analysis. After controlling for age, maternal education had the strongest effect. The random effects model that accounted for familial correlation showed that the most important predictors were maternal education, region, and prenatal care. Findings indicate that the probability of being immunized among "unfavorable background" families varied by unknown factors.; Language: English NT - TJ: JOURNAL OF BIOSOCIAL SCIENCE.

One researcher met with nurses and doctors from 17 hospitals and clinics with public and private services. Another researcher met with 13 groups of 146 women. Findings indicate that services were too far away and transportation was a problem. Ambulances and taxis were costly. Services should be close by, available 24 hours/day, and offer quality health care. Women expressed a willingness to travel distances for quality care. Women appreciated good relations and services capable of handling complications. Women preferred services where discrimination by race or social status was not practiced. The most frequently cited problem was negative interpersonal client-staff relations. Women reported a strong desire to have partners present at delivery and with paternity leave. The most common desires were for sonograms, food at prenatal clinics, education at the prenatal clinic, and other information on a variety of topics. Women desired knowledge about the symptoms of labor, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, and parenting skills. Other topics were risk factors, hygiene, breast feeding, postnatal depression, the physiology of pregnancy, sources of help, nutrition, and vaccinations. Women desired a comprehensive examination, a choice of appointment times, and attentive nursing. Women expressed their views on good postnatal services, services in general, better patient-staff communication, mortality, and stillbirths. 11 recommendations were made.; Language: English NT - TJ: URBANISATION AND HEALTH NEWSLETTER PT - Journal Article ID - 12178500 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1995 Jun DC - 19981104 EZ - 1995/06/01 00:00 DA - 2002/10/09 04:00 DT - 1995/06/01 00:00 YR - 1995 ED - 19981104 RD - 20021101 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=12178500 <381. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 10183202 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

The program described in this article, namely, a Medicaid managed care health maintenance organization and its interaction with one hospital's care of women, especially pregnant women, serves to illustrate how traditional public health values and managed care principles may be linked. This linkage is a starting point to developing a community's involvement in its own health, although it is too early from our experience to note a lasting effect on improved pregnancy outcomes.

The adolescent's exploration of the developmental and physical changes taking place often puts the adolescent at greater risk than at any other time in life. The risk-taking behaviors involve sexual activity, experimentation with substances including cigarettes and alcohol, rebellion against paternal norms, suicidal behavior, and violence. This chapter focuses on the potential outcome of one of these risky behaviors: sexual activity. The intent is to summarize the findings of the research community on the pregnancy and parenting programs for adolescents. A summary of some of the recent research and demonstration projects for pregnant and parenting adolescents is provided. Published and unpublished articles from a variety of disciplines are included. These articles vary by method, type of program, location, and outcome measurement. Methodological issues related to the preponderance of quasi-experimental designs with small samples and demonstration projects are addressed. The lack of theoretically driven, longitudinal research that is specific to the developmental level of the population is discussed, and directions are suggested for future research. [References: 73] OA - PIP: This chapter in a volume of the Annual Review of Nursing Research devoted to health issues in pediatric nursing summarizes research findings on pregnancy and parenting programs for adolescents in the US. The introduction, which describes the risk factors associated with adolescence and the particular risk of unintended pregnancy and acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases that have accompanied decreasing ages of sexual initiation and increasing numbers of sexual partners among adolescents, points out that many intervention programs that seek to address the needs of developing adolescents lack an evaluative component and a theoretical base. The next section presents the scope of this review, which focuses on programs for pregnant adolescents and adolescent parents. The chapter continues by reviewing 1) three pregnancy prevention programs not included in a 1995 compendium prepared by Moore, Sugarland, et al. and 2) prenatal and parenting programs. A look at programs deemed most effective at changing maternal or fetal outcomes is accomplished through a review of research on comprehensive programs, other types of programs, programs that consider differences in parenting among ethnic or racial groups, program location, development of practice models, intervention studies, and the adolescent father. The chapter ends with a summary that indicates the need for application of a more rigorous and systematic approach to this research in order to create a body of knowledge with a strong theoretical base and conceptual clarity.; Language: English [References: 73] NT - TJ: ANNUAL REVIEW OF NURSING RESEARCH.

These exhortations are well intended, but they may reflect a misunderstanding of developmental processes and foster a mistaken belief in the ease with which parenting problems can be identified and remedied. This article describes how early experiences affect children's development and then contrasts this view with a popular perspective based on misapplication of the medical model to the conceptualization of behavioral development.

This prospective study describes choices parents made regarding contact with their baby following stillbirth or immediate neonatal death. Between 1 January 1979 and 1 March 1991, 808 consecutive families were enrolled in the Perinatal Mortality Counseling Program at the University of Florida. Following perinatal death, most parents wanted contact with their baby to personalize the event, information about the death and follow-up from their health care providers. However, no option was chosen by all parents. This large study strongly supports offering choices to all parents. Providers should neither bias parents nor make presumptions that would limit parental choices.

Each couple took part in a three-class parentcraft course during the third trimester. During the first antenatal class, couples were asked to fill in a questionnaire with inquiries about specific contents of fear they might have in relation to pregnancy, childbirth and relationship with their partner after childbirth. Each item of the questionnaire called for an answer from a five-grade scale of fear such as 'absolutely not', 'slightly', 'quite', 'quite strongly' and 'very much'. Their worries were ranked according to the weighted average of the frequency of positive answers. More than 80% of both men and women had some fears relating to childbirth. Women were most worried about, in order of significance, having a malformed or injured baby, assisted or operative delivery, being lonely in a strange environment, doing something wrong, and facing the uncertainties of how the delivery was going to happen. The wife having severe pain and suffering, operative delivery, fetal birth injuries, helplessness, powerlessness and the wife's death in childbirth were the most significant subjects of men's fears. Eighty per cent of women and 76% of men felt that the presence of the partner at delivery would have no adverse effect on their future personal relationship.

This study aimed to investigate the availability and type of breastfeeding information and support services offered by Melbourne hospitals. This was discussed in regard to the possible effect this may have on mothers' choice of feeding method. All hospitals known by Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia (NMAA) to be involved in obstetric care were asked to complete a questionnaire. Factors such as antenatal class timing, attendance, cost and content were investigated as indicators of the extent of services available. Specifically, services and information offered for women from non English speaking backgrounds (NESB) and from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands were identified. The study found that breastfeeding education is a small part of antenatal education in Melbourne hospitals. The inclusion of NMAA was widespread among hospitals, allowing access to information and support services. The amount of information and support services available for women from NESB and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background needs to be expanded.

AB - METHODS: Core information for parents about infant immunization was identified and packaged in an instructional video and a scripted oral presentation. Volunteer prenatal classes were randomly assigned a video or oral presentation. Participants completed pre- and post-test questionnaires covering the same 16 items. Scores were compared for each question and as a group means, using Fisher's exact test, 2-sided. AB - RESULTS: 227 subjects participated, including 102 men and 124 women. Groups were similar in terms of gender mix, parenting experience and recent reading about immunization. Pre-test knowledge scores were similarly low between groups. Post-test scores were much higher but did not differ significantly between groups. AB - CONCLUSIONS: In a prenatal classroom setting, video and oral presentations were equally effective in conveying key information about infant immunization.

AB - LITERATURE SEARCH: The literature reported here is part of a larger longitudinal ethnographic study of men's experiences of pregnancy and birth, which to date has generated 190 relevant articles. The literature was identified using: the Midwifery Information Resource Service (MIDIRS), PsychLit, Cinahl, Medline, and the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Database. Keywords were: men, fathers, pregnancy, birth, and birth supporters. Literature was also identified using references quoted in papers and hand searching of journals. AB - KEY CONCLUSIONS: Changing cultural and professional attitudes have encouraged fathers' birth attendance, reflected in an increasing volume of research. This research concentrates almost exclusively on labour coaching roles, neglecting exploration of any independent needs men may have. AB - IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A greater awareness of men's experiences will inform midwives and childbirth educators to effectively provide for men's needs during pregnancy and birth.

We examined both spontaneous motor activity and dopamine-mediated motor responses to apomorphine, a D1, D2 and D3 receptor agonist, given at a postsynaptic dose (1 mg/kg, s.c.) to both prepubertal and adult male and female offspring. Prenatal corticosterone was found to produce the following alterations in the offspring. (1) Prepubertal stage: Male offspring: a statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase was observed in spontaneous rearing, motility and locomotion (activity measured during the first 30 min) without changes in apomorphine-induced motor responses. Female offspring: a reduction (P < 0.05) only in spontaneous rearing activity was observed during the exploratory phase (activity measured during the first 10 min) without significant changes in apomorphine-induced motor responses. (2) Adult stage: Male offspring: the exploratory activity to the novel environment was increased (P < 0.05) without significant changes in apomorphine-induced motor activity. Female offspring: an increase (P < 0.05) in spontaneous locomotion was observed during the first 30 min of testing without significant changes in exploratory activity to the novel environment. However, the apomorphine-induced motility and locomotion were reduced (P < 0.05) during the first 30 min. These observations indicate that prenatal corticosterone induces both short-term and long-term changes in spontaneous motor activity as well as long-lasting alterations in dopamine receptor response in the motor network mechanisms controlled by DA receptors. These changes are in part age and sex-dependent. The possible relationship between prenatal programming of the mesolimbic and nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathways by corticosterone and the observed changes in motor function is discussed.

Relative to fathers in traditional childbirth classes, those in father-focused discussion classes significantly increased their use of reasoning during conflicts and their housework activity. Both groups of fathers reported a significant increase in social network support and an increase in baby/pregnancy-related activity. Neither group substantially increased their overall coping responses, although men in the father-focused group significantly changed their coping efforts by seeking more social support, particularly getting information and emotional support from their partner's physician. Implications for perinatal education practice are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered.

The Prenatal Attitude toward Childbirth Participation Scale was administered to 119 couples before and after attendance at a childbirth education course. The Labor Delivery Evaluation Scale, the Labor Agency Scale, and the Delivery Agency Scale were administered after delivery. Results showed that childbirth education affected couples' anticipated levels of control during labor and delivery. Anticipated and perceived levels of control were associated, and perceived levels of control correlated with overall evaluations of childbirth experiences. These findings suggest that childbirth educators and health care providers should focus on participants' opportunities to exercise control during childbirth and on identifying emergency situations during which control must be relinquished to the health care team.

Platelet destruction is caused by a maternal antibody directed against a fetal platelet antigen inherited from the father and lacking in the mother's platelets. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the most devastating complication of NAIT, affecting approximately 20% of all proven cases, up to 50% of which occur antenatally. Because close to 100% of subsequent pregnancies will be equally or more severely affected, antenatal management directed at preventing ICH in utero has assumed great clinical importance. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in this regard, and although clinical uncertainties still exist, the natural history of this disease and its response to various antenatal interventions have become reasonably well understood. This review will focus on the diagnosis and current management of NAIT, including controversies surrounding current treatment modalities and future prospects for treatment and prevention.

The results of the evaluation indicated that the adolescents thought the prenatal program was not important or relevant. Using adolescent development theory, a new prenatal program was designed with the help of adolescents. This new program utilizes three teaching approaches: provision of relevant information, offering of information on a "need to know" basis, and provision of problem-solving activities. Topics such as how to deal with the pain of labor; how to care for an infant; and the health hazards of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are presented using small group exercises and games. Problem-solving skills are developed through large and small group discussions, games, puzzles, and activities incorporating movement. The new 10-week program has been in effect since 1993 and has proved to be so popular that additional series have been necessary. Program participants are pregnant teenagers, the fathers of their babies, and/or their labor coaches. Because the classes are scheduled at supper time, they include a hands-on nutritional component in the form of meal preparation. Ongoing evaluations echo the good results revealed by the improved attendance figures and allow the participants to recommend new methods and ideas for the course. One such idea developed into a weekly postnatal drop-in program.; Language: English NT - TJ: CANADIAN NURSE.

AB - METHODS: Data for white and black women whose first and second pregnancies resulted in singleton live births between 1980 and 1992 were obtained from Georgia birth certificates (n = 177,041). Adjusted relative risks (RRs) for early prenatal care in the second pregnancy were computed by logistic regression models that included trimester of prenatal care initiation, infant outcomes, or maternal conditions in the woman's first pregnancy as the exposure and controlled for maternal age, education, child's year of birth, interval between first and second pregnancy, presence of father's name on the birth certificate, and the interaction between prenatal care and education. Models were stratified by race. AB - RESULTS: Women of both races who initiated prenatal care in the first trimester of their first pregnancies were more likely than those with delayed care to initiate prenatal care in the first trimester of their second pregnancies (RR = 1.25 and 1.63 for white and black women educated beyond high school, respectively). Both white and black women who delivered a baby with very low birth weight (RR = 1.06 and 1.15, respectively) or who suffered an infant death (RR = 1.09 and 1.31, respectively) in their first pregnancies were more likely than those who did not experience these events to begin prenatal care in the first trimester of their second pregnancies. AB - CONCLUSION: Women with some potentially preventable adverse infant outcomes tend to obtain earlier care in their next pregnancy. Unfortunately, women who delayed prenatal care in their first pregnancy frequently delay prenatal care in their next.

Attempting to increase the likelihood that the stages of pregnancy, labor, and childbirth will proceed normally and not necessitate interventions, the women promote and provide home birth and holistic care for parents throughout the entire pregnancy and postpartum period. Ayiqueen is based in Uruguay and is comprised of three midwives, a psychomotor development specialist, and three pediatricians. They have thus far attended the births of 18 couples. Childbirth education for the couple, partner collaboration, adequate prenatal care, high-quality health care, motivation of early mother-baby-father contact, motivation of breastfeeding, and adequate postpartum care are some elements of Ayiqueen's childbirth program.

Pregnant women found to have a sexually transmitted disease (STD) were educated about STDs, treated, and encouraged to refer their partners to the clinic for treatment. 418 of 1001 women enrolled in the program over the period April-September 1993 tested positive for infection with STD. More than 90% of these women agreed to inform their partners. The 384 women treated for a STD named 331 partners, of whom 101 went to the clinic for treatment after referral by the women, while 38 men sought treatment following health worker referral. The researchers emphasized the importance of communication and recommended treating partners at the same facility as the index patient and removing barriers to partner treatment such as clinic fees. More STD patients could be encouraged to refer their partners for treatment through community-based educational campaigns which stress the asymptomatic nature of most STDs and that many STDs are curable. Improving the communication skills of community health workers who refer partners may also increase referral rates. The results of partner referral practiced in two Rwandan primary health care facilities and gender and partner referral are discussed.; Language: English NT - TJ: AIDSCAPTIONS PT - Journal Article ID - 12291850 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1996 May DC - 19970304 EZ - 1996/05/01 00:00 DA - 2002/10/09 04:00 DT - 1996/05/01 00:00 YR - 1996 ED - 19970304 RD - 20031114 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med4&AN=12291850 <399. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 14199528 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

The men discussed their experience of pregnancy in focus groups that were run by male midwives who were also fathers. A grounded theory analysis of the men's discussions generated the categories of anxiety, ambivalence, adjustment, separation and need to know. There were two core categories, confusion, which was strongly expressed and development which was manifest in a minority of men. A descriptive narrative demonstrated that most first time fathers were confused as their relationship with their partner changed and that their roles in relation to the baby and other people were unclear. The men's sense of self was threatened and they responded negatively to the challenges they experienced and felt distanced from their partners. The findings have implications for clinical and educational services as they show that most men were alienated by the manner in which information was presented. The men also felt that services focused on their partner's labour and the birth of the child and neglected their greatest concerns, that is their changing identity, their relationships and their future role as fathers.

A quasi-experimental and exploratory study was conducted with data collected at the 36th and the 39th weeks of pregnancy, and the first day of the postpartum period. 100 married, first-time expectant fathers in both the experimental and control groups were drawn from one medical center in southern Taiwan as a convenient sample. Three two-hour sessions of childbirth class, each lasting for one day, were conducted consecutively following the first data point for the experimental group. The "Chinese Health Questionnaire" and Zung's Self-rating Anxiety and Self-rating Depression Scales were used to obtain the first-time fathers' health status, anxiety, and depression scores at each data point. The two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used to compare the means of psychological responses between experimental and control groups at each point in time. The main effect of classes on paternal health status, anxiety, and depression of the experimental group was not found and the limitations of the study were discussed.

Transplacental passage of this antibody results in fetal platelet destruction and consequent thrombocytopenia. Sequelae of thrombocytopenia may be observed in both the fetus and neonate with intracranial hemorrhage occurring in approximately 10 to 30% of affected infants. No antenatal universal screening test is currently available to detect the 50% of cases occurring in the first pregnancy. The recurrence rate in subsequent pregnancies is 75 to 85%, with a tendency to increasing disease severity. Paternal platelet genotyping is recommended to assist in risk counseling following an affected pregnancy. Prenatal therapeutic strategies are aimed at elevating the fetal platelet count in affected pregnancies and thus decreasing hemorrhagic sequelae. The most effective treatment regimen is uncertain, but encouraging results are reported with the use of maternal intravenous gamma globulin. We report our experience in the antenatal diagnosis and management of FMAT.

AB - DESIGN: Nonrandomized, longitudinal, descriptive study. AB - SETTING: Private obstetricians' offices, prenatal clinics, and prenatal classes in a large city in the southeastern United States. AB - PARTICIPANTS: White, well-educated, stable, upper-middle class fathers attending prenatal education classes. At time 1 (prebirth), n = 293 with 228 first-time fathers and 65 experienced fathers. At time 2 (3 months), n = 62 with 46 first-time fathers and 16 experienced fathers. At time 3 (1 year), n = 42 with 30 first-time fathers and 12 experienced fathers. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Parenting attitudes as measured by the AAPI. AB - RESULTS: Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in two of the four constructs measured by the AAPI. When their children were 3 months old, fathers scored significantly lower in the areas of expectations and belief in the use of corporal punishment, and their raw scores did not significantly differ in the areas of empathy and appropriate family roles. AB - CONCLUSION: These fathers need education about appropriate expectations of a 3-month-old child and information regarding alternative methods of discipline.

As well, little is known about the social and emotional experiences of men during their partners' pregnancies. One antenatal group consisting of six men, whose partners were in the second trimester of pregnancy, attended a series of five meetings and subsequent individual interviews. Additional data and insights were gained by the researcher and the research assistant attending other antenatal classes with men and women present. The research data consisted of transcripts of tape-recorded interviews, group discussions, observations and field notes made by the researcher and co-leader following each of the group sessions. The aim was systematically to develop a substantive grounded theory which was drawn from the experiences of the men during this transitional period in their lives. This paper discusses the process of analysis which led to the central phenomenon, the core category of the research, around which the grounded theory is built. Five theoretical constructs emerged from the data collected: (a) ambivalence in the early stages of pregnancy, (b) relationship with baby not real, (c) how should I be as a father?, (d) coping with the changing roles and lifestyle, and (e) disequilibrium in relationship with female partner. The last construct emerged as the basic social process. The nature of this relationship changed over the duration of the pregnancy. Emotional turmoil and anxiety in men contributed to the 'mismatch' in male and female expectations of the relationship.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0309-2402 IL - 0309-2402 PT - Journal Article ID - 7797707 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1995 Apr DC - 19950801 EZ - 1995/04/01 00:00 DA - 1995/04/01 00:01 DT - 1995/04/01 YR - 1995 ED - 19950801 RD - 20041117 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=7797707 <410. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 7774781 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

AB - METHODS: Seventy primiparous, low-risk couples enrolled in prenatal classes in a large urban hospital were randomized to experimental and control groups. An educational intervention consisting of two second-trimester classes was facilitated by two social workers. The classes were based on a previous assessment of the educational needs of postpartum couples and contained didactic sessions, role-playing sessions, and values clarification exercises. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale were administered to both groups prenatally in the second trimester and at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. A modified version of the O'Hara Postpartum Adjustment Questionnaire was administered at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. AB - RESULTS: Both groups scored comparably in the prenatal period. The experimental group scored significantly lower on anxiety and higher on dyadic adjustment at both postpartum time periods than the control group. The experimental group also indicated a higher degree of postpartum adjustment. AB - CONCLUSION: Prenatal parenting communication classes had a significant impact on postpartum anxiety, postpartum marital satisfaction, and postpartum adjustment.

A purposeful sample of 17 women in a drug and alcohol addiction treatment program and their infants was studied over the course of their first year in the program. The purpose of this naturalistic field study was to examine parent-child interactions during addiction treatment. The following research question guided the inquiry: What is the nature of parent-infant interaction during the first year in a perinatal addiction treatment program? This study combined grounded theory methodology with the quantitative methods of descriptive and differential statistics. Open-coding of interviews, field notes, and the treatment records followed grounded theory methodology. A time-sampling procedure was used to examine stability of interactions at the beginning of program participation, again when each infant was 6 months old, and when each infant was 12 months. Results are used to describe parent-child interactions across samples and over time. Chi-square procedures were performed on number of children in each family, length of time in the program, sobriety, and mutual enjoyment of interaction. A significant difference in interaction by length of time in the program (chi 2 = 7.0801, df = 1, p < .00) as well as in interaction by percent sobriety (chi 2 = 4.1538, df = 1, p < .04) was evident. Behaviors of the infants reflected the emotional tone and parenting responses of their mothers. Dyads whose interactions showed a pattern of mutuality were more likely to continue in the treatment program and to maintain sobriety. The ability of a mother to enjoy her infant seemed to be the one factor that made the most difference in child behaviors. Results can be used by clinicians to guide the choice of treatment approaches that support the parent-child relationship during addiction treatment.

Participants included 106 married couples, 58 (55%) who attended prenatal childbirth education classes and 48 (45%) who did not. The study variables included prenatal, intrapartal, and new parent experiences. All mothers and fathers completed questionnaires during the last trimester of pregnancy and one month after delivery of a healthy newborn. Fathers were present during labor and birth regardless of prenatal class attendance. The groups differed in maternal age and in maternal and paternal education levels, but did not differ in measures of prenatal attachment, paternal childbirth involvement, childbirth satisfaction, parenting sense of competence, and ease of transition to parenthood. The results suggest the need for further study of the influence of prenatal classes on becoming a new parent, and of the effects of the father's presence during childbirth on birth and new parent experiences.

Two comparison groups were utilized in this study; one attended the prenatal group without the PREP program, and the second did not attend either the prenatal course or the PREP program. The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and the Attitude Toward the Freedom of Children Scale (a parental attitude scale) was administered to all participants. No significant difference was found among the three groups in terms of self-concept. A significant difference was found among the three groups in terms of parental attitudes, with the treatment group scoring higher on democratic parenting attitudes than did the two comparison groups.

Their perinatal courses were unremarkable. In each patient, initial impressions listed by several examiners included spastic diplegia or cerebral palsy. Later in each course, either extrapyramidal features or progression suggested dopa-responsive dystonia. In 4 of the 5 children, cerebrospinal fluid was obtained and disclosed reduced levels of biopterin, neopterin, and homovanillic acid in all 4. Levodopa therapy resulted in prompt improvement with normal function returning within 6 months. The disappearance of the "spasticity," extensor plantar responses, and extrapyramidal signs, following levodopa therapy, confirmed the diagnosis of doparesponsive dystonia in these patients. Three had apparently sporadic disease; the other 2 were siblings with an affected paternal grandmother. Three had onset in infancy with delayed sitting and walking before the appearance of overt dystonia; infantile onset is infrequent in dopa-responsive dystonia.

Paternal presence at birth, holding the baby, and presence at a follow-up appointment were the indicators of paternal involvement. Perinatal death was defined as miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death within 12 hours of birth. Data were collected from a retrospective chart review under the auspices of the Perinatal Mortality Counseling Program at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida, a tertiary care referral center in north central Florida. The sample included 722 cases of perinatal death between July 1978 and April 1991. The results indicated that many fathers experienced perinatal grief. More than half attended the birth, a quarter chose to hold their baby, and one fifth returned with the mother to follow-up appointments. Paternal-maternal cohabitation was the variable most predictive of the fathers' involvement after perinatal death. Race was predictive of the father being present at birth and at the follow-up visit, with white fathers more likely to be present than black fathers. Married fathers and those employed in a professional or manual labor occupation were more likely to be present at the birth than fathers who were unemployed, students, incarcerated, or in the military. Gestational age was predictive of the father holding the baby, with the likelihood increasing 1.04 times for each week of increase in gestational age. This study supports the need to include fathers in grief counseling, and the further investigation of the involvement of fathers when a perinatal death occurs.

AB - DESIGN: Women who expressed a willingness to participate in the breast-feeding educational program were randomly assigned to one of two groups: an intervention group and a control group who received usual breast-feeding education. AB - SETTING: Clinics of the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children in Flagstaff, Ariz. AB - SUBJECTS: Sixty-eight primiparous pregnant women with expected due dates between May 1992 and December 1992 were willing to participate in the study. Of these, 34 were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 34 to the control group. Approximately 81% of the women completed the study: 29 in the control group and 26 in the intervention group. AB - INTERVENTION: The intervention consisted of special incentives (prizes) for women and their partners to participate in a breast-feeding class for expectant couples and an educational series on childbirth. Women were also encouraged to use a breast-feeding support program in which peers serve as role models. AB - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measure was infant feeding method. Data were collected from mothers in both groups at the time of discharge from the hospital and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months postpartum. AB - STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Binomial proportional analyses of the feeding data were performed. AB - RESULTS: Women in the intervention group reported a higher percentage of breast-feeding at all measurement times. AB - APPLICATIONS: These findings suggest that incentives, such as donated prizes, can be used to attract primiparous women from lower socioeconomic groups, along with their partners, to participate in educational interventions designed to promote breast-feeding. Participation by couples in breast-feeding promotion activities can dramatically increase the rate and duration of breast-feeding.

Paternal factors included previous children and the way they were fed, participation in prenatal care, attendance at prenatal classes, breast feeding information provided by health professionals, use of reading materials and interest in learning more about the subject. The results indicated that fathers had poor knowledge about breast feeding, especially those whose children were being bottle fed. After adjustments for confounders, fathers who had previous breast-fed child(ren), had attended prenatal classes and who received information about breast feeding from medical personnel had a significantly higher chance of having a better knowledge of breast feeding. It seems that fathers need to be better prepared to assume their new role as breast feeding supporters. Prenatal care was shown to be a good opportunity to improve fathers' knowledge of breast feeding.

These effects are opposite to those resulting from prenatal stress (PS). We examined the interaction between PS and handling on nociception in adult male and female rats. Randomly selected pregnant rats were subjected to restraint stress on days 13-17 of gestation for 25 min each day, or left undisturbed. At birth, selected stressed/nonstressed litters were assigned to be handled. handling consisted of 15 min of separation from the dam, once per day, from postnatal days 1-14. At 4 months of age, rats were placed on a 50 degrees C hot plate, and their latencies to paw lick were recorded. Prenatal stress and handling interacted to affect latencies in male rats. Handled (H)/PS rats had significantly lower paw lick latencies than nonhandled (NH)/PS rats (p < 0.05). However, handling had no effect on the male offspring of control dams. Handling elevated paw lick latencies in the female offspring of control dams, an effect that was most pronounced in diestrous vs. estrous rats. The NH/PS rats showed significantly elevated latencies compared to NH/NS rats (p < 0.05). These results suggest that handling effects on nociception are most apparent in rats subjected to PS; in males at least, these effects would otherwise not be present.

Results provided support for the proposed model in that parents with greater confirmation of expectations were found to have more positive relationship satisfaction, emotional affect, and parenting attitudes. Differences in men and women emerged that demonstrated that confirmation of support expectations was more important to women, while the level of support actually received was more important to men. The prenatal class intervention did not significantly affect parent outcomes.

Subsequent DNA fingerprinting of the members proved otherwise. The mother had a codon 41/42 frameshift mutation and the father's defect, determined by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified beta gene, was a codon 43 nonsense mutation. In the affected children, the close proximity of these two defects resulted in the absence of a hybridization signal to the normal probe in that region and a wrong assumption of homozygosity for the codon 41/42 mutation. The non-reactivity of the father's amplified DNA to the codon 41/42 thalassaemic probe accounted for the initial wrong conclusion of non-paternity. Since prior screening for beta-thalassaemia mutations is done in all prenatal diagnosis programmes and concomitant inheritance of these two defects is relatively common in the Chinese, this 'artefact' of false non-paternity is worth noting.

Many pregnant teenagers want to be pregnant, even though the pregnancies are often not planned. A childbirth educator in Boston, Massachusetts, wonders who considers adolescent pregnancies as unwanted, the young mothers or the middle class, white, well-educated, and well-meaning adults. Adolescents want babies for the same reasons adults want babies. The difference is that adolescents do not have the same personal, financial, and community resources as adults. A child cannot rob teenagers of a future they do not have; a child provides some joy and hope. These teenagers tend not to see a better life in their future. Education can generate a vision of the future and provide a path out of poverty. Yet, educational opportunities are not always available or inviting. Teenagers need childcare, financial support, and supportive role models or mentors. Many people erroneously believe that poor women have children to be on welfare or to receive subsidized food. Yet, public assistance does no hand out enough money to sustain a family. Besides, it is unpleasant. Some states are starting to deal with the broader problems linked to poverty and lack of education. For example, the welfare system in Florida requires young women to be in high school, to prepare for the GED, or to undergo technical training. If they fail to comply, they lose benefits. Role models and financial, practical, and emotional support allow teen fathers to stay close to their children, to earn a living, and to be responsible. Poverty, immigration, transience, substance abuse, and distance from family result in insufficient support and poor parenting models for teenage mothers. They still are developing physically and emotionally. Teenage mothers need the same support, encouragement, and assistance that adult mothers need. Freedom of choice, education, and responsibility will result in healthier teen mothers and children.; Language: English NT - TJ: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION IS - 0887-8625 IL - 0887-8625 PT - Journal Article ID - 12286763 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1992 Nov-Dec DC - 19940309 EZ - 1992/11/01 00:00 DA - 2002/10/09 04:00 DT - 1992/11/01 00:00 YR - 1992 ED - 19940309 RD - 20071115 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=12286763 <422. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 8283953 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

The evaluation sought to identify indicators of effectiveness and needs. Two independent groups (current and past users, n = 207) were surveyed using an original questionnaire based on predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors for human behaviour (Green's PRECEDE model). The data were compared and analysed using the related t-test for indicative differences in perceptions of the two groups. Indicative differences that were statistically significant were compared on variables representing users' age, parity and preferred mode of childbirth education (public or private). No evidence was found of significant differences in attitudes, beliefs and values before and after birth attributable to childbirth education. However, the health skills, confidence and emotional preparation for the birth, and the extent of participation in the learning process did not fully measure up to users' expectations. Consumers expect professionalism in the provision of services, with course content specifically tailored to their learning needs, taking into account age and previous experience of childbirth. A comprehensive curriculum is suggested covering all stages of the childbirth process from prepregnancy to parenting.

The fathers answered three open-ended questions about their feelings concerning labor and childbirth, and the paternal behaviors believed to be most useful to their wives during labor and delivery. Data from fathers who attended prenatal childbirth education classes were examined separately from fathers who did not attend. The findings indicated that for all fathers, regardless of prenatal preparation, the labor experience evoked generally positive responses in addition to a significant number of negative responses, while perceptions of the birth experience were primarily characterized by positive or very positive feelings. The results also indicated that the fathers perceived that they were most helpful to their partner during labor.

The Pregnancy and Sexuality Questionnaire (PSQ) is concerned with sexual interest and arousal and with specific sexual behaviours of partners in a stable heterosexual relationship. Data were obtained two weeks apart from 15 couples presenting to an antenatal class and from two additional females whose partners did not participate. The validity and reliability of the PSQ are considered with particular emphasis on test-retest reliability. The results in general support the reliability of the instrument. The questionable reliability of some items is attributed to the natural sequence of change in sexual behaviours during pregnancy and to the relatively small sample size used. The PSQ appears to be sufficiently robust to be confidently applied both in sexual behaviour research and as an adjunct to clinical practice.

The 268 expectant mothers in prenatal classes completed a self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square analysis was performed to determine the significance of the association between maternal attitudes toward breast-feeding and intended feeding plan (breast or formula) and each predicted paternal attitudinal variable. The majority of subjects were white (80%) and married (95%). Seventy percent planned exclusive breast-feeding, and 68% felt the baby's father wanted them to breast-feed. Mothers who planned breast-feeding were more knowledgeable of its benefits, had more favorable perceptions, and were more likely to predict positive attitudes of fathers toward breast-feeding than those who planned formula feeding. Women who planned formula feeding predicted less positive paternal attitudes regarding breast-feeding; this perception (whether correct or incorrect) likely impacted on their choice of infant feeding method. More time should be devoted in prenatal classes and prenatal physician visits to breast-feeding education for mothers and fathers. Active encouragement of paternal participation in breast-feeding classes, usually directed toward women only, would foster understanding of the benefits of breast-feeding and the support fathers can provide.

Previous research has demonstrated that fathers contribute to the decision of which infant feeding method will be used, and can be effective promoters of breast-feeding. A woman's decision to breast-feed her infant may rest on her assumptions of the father's attitude regarding this feeding method. As the perception of a negative paternal attitude toward breast-feeding may discourage some women from breast-feeding, this study was designed to determine whether a mother can accurately predict the father's attitude on this subject. AB - METHODS: Subjects were 268 pairs of expectant mothers and fathers enrolled in childbirth preparation classes at five private hospitals in Houston, Texas. Participants individually completed pretested surveys assessing their attitudes regarding breast-feeding. Mothers' surveys additionally assessed their partner's attitudes toward breast-feeding. AB - RESULTS: More mothers than fathers reported exclusive breast-feeding as their preferred feeding plan (69% vs 58%), whereas only 54% of partners both responded they preferred breast-feeding. Overall, fathers had more favorable attitudes toward breast-feeding than their partners predicted, but large numbers of fathers harbored misconceptions and negative attitudes toward breast-feeding. Mothers' predictions were little more accurate than random guessing in predicting their partner's response (range: 56% to 83%). AB - CONCLUSIONS: A mother's perception of her partner's attitudes toward breast-feeding influences her choice of infant feeding method. If she perceives that the father has a negative attitude about breast-feeding, she will probably not choose this method. Additional efforts to dispel misconceptions about breast-feeding should be made during childbirth preparation classes and prenatal visits.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives of both public (hospital-based) and private sector agencies. The survey was structured in a management problem-solving framework to gather data on educational strategies and administrative and organisational factors. This approach provided a coherent view of what health educators in childbirth education were doing and why, and identified needs that could be related to information about programme effectiveness gained from a parallel literature review (O'Meara, 1993) and a survey of client consumers. The study found that the organisation of childbirth and parenting education has not developed professionally in line with other health care services. Goals and objectives are ill-defined, and planning and co-ordination are inadequate for an integrated maternal health care system. Its main resource is a body of highly motivated teachers. Several recommendations are made for measures to enhance service effectiveness, based on needs identified in the study.

Responses revealed a family life characterized by positive maternal and paternal perceptions of the pregnancy and less preference for a male child than we had anticipated. Traditional beliefs in Tae Mong, a conception dream, and Tae Kyo, rituals for safe childbirth, were followed. Food taboos, including protein sources, were reported. Attitudes toward prenatal care services, care providers, and maternal health habits are described. OA - PIP: In July-August 1987, 40 native-born women from South Korea completed a questionnaire administered during prenatal classes and received prenatal care at a US military medical care facility in a large urban area in South Korea. All women, but 1, had US military husbands. 2 nurse practitioners developed the questionnaire to examine Korean women's attitudes toward pregnancy and prenatal care. Most mothers were happy about being pregnant (87.5%) and believed their husbands also to be happy (85%). Only 35% believed it was important for them to have a son; 50% did not think it was important. 40% believed that pregnant women should avoid some foods, e.g., chicken, squid, fish, and pork. Most of the pregnant women (57.5%) claimed to have a conception dream (Tae Mong). 67% felt that they should abide by the traditional rules for safe childbirth (Tae Kyo), consisting of retreating from unclean items, avoiding killing any living being, and pulling any pranks. Just 5% adopted the traditional belief of being embarrassed about an extended abdomen. Most women considered prenatal care and abiding by physician instructions to be important (75% and 90%, respectively). 32.5% either did not agree or were not sure that women need prenatal vitamins and iron supplements during pregnancy, indicating that the women held to traditional beliefs that the vitamins and iron could hurt the infant. 95% agreed that smoking during pregnancy could harm the fetus. 30% did not want their obstetrician to be a man. Almost all women considered physical activity to be healthy during pregnancy. These results showed the women tended to accept healthy self-care activities, e.g., physical activity and refraining from smoking. Traditional beliefs and attitudes still influenced them. The nurse practitioners recommended more research to uncover areas of cultural conflict between Korean women and their US health care providers to deter culturally induced perinatal stress.; Language: English NT - TJ: HEALTH CARE FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL.

In this article continuing official scepticism about the effectiveness of these programmes, despite evidence of consumer satisfaction and commitment from service providers, is noted. A critical review of the literature reveals the absence of a systematic framework for evaluation of childbirth education programmes. A framework which incorporates a methodology for health education planning and evaluation in a management context is proposed as a means of overcoming this deficiency. This framework enables a focus on the effectiveness of these health services from the perspective of both clients and providers, and identification of strategic measures for improving programme delivery and educational outcomes.

The impact of childbirth on long-term abstinence from smoking is unknown for both women and men. AB - METHODS: We assessed the impact of childbirth on long-term abstinence from smoking (minimum: 17 months, much longer in most cases) in a retrospective cohort analysis of 925 women and 1,494 men who were interviewed in 1984 to 1986 in the national baseline survey of the German Cardiovascular Prevention Study. AB - RESULTS: Among women, smoking cessation rates resulting in long-term abstinence were about three times higher during the year of childbirth and the year before than in other years (adjusted rate ratio, 2.98; 95% confidence interval, 2.21-4.03). Childbirth was also associated with increased cessation rates among better educated men (adjusted rate ratio for this subgroup, 1.84; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-2.92), but not among less educated men. Nevertheless, childbirth led to long-term abstinence from smoking only in a small minority of smoking mothers and fathers. AB - CONCLUSION: Despite increased cessation rates around childbirth, more effective measures are needed to promote sustained abstinence after childbirth among both parents.

Through a series of open-ended interviews and structured questionnaire measures, it was determined that the typical first-time father and mother undergo significant drops in their beliefs about the importance of father-infant bonding across their first transition to parenthood. Regression analyses were employed to construct models predictive of changes in parents' father-infant bonding beliefs. Results indicate that both prenatal beliefs and circumstances of the delivery predict changes in parents' father-infant bonding beliefs. Implications for childbirth educators, delivery staff, and parent support providers are discussed.

The type of information that parents have stated they found important is reviewed, as are general categories of information that health care providers feel are important for families to know. Family teaching is a critical component of the care nurses give because it helps to ensure that families are able to care for their infants at home.

The prescriptive nursing interventions provided during prenatal, well child, and home visits during the first 2 years of the child's life are based on role supplementation theory. Strategies derived from role theory are integrated with assessment and intervention activities. Adolescents receive role supplementation from a primary nurse who continues to see them and their infants over the 2-year period. The role supplementation intervention is currently being tested in a longitudinal research project.

Strategies for addressing the unique medical, educational, and psychosocial needs of pregnant and parenting students will be examined. Documented physical and psychosocial risks associated with adolescent childbearing will be reviewed, and data related to the effect of young maternal age on pregnancy outcome and the effect of pregnancy on the life course development of adolescents will be emphasized. Specific elements of comprehensive, adolescent-oriented prenatal and postnatal care will be discussed, as well as the effectiveness of existing prenatal and postnatal programs at preventing the most serious sequelae of adolescent childbearing. The role of school-based services will be examined, and ways will be discussed for educators and health care providers to collaborate in providing medical, educational, and social services for adolescent parents and their children. In addition, topics for future research will be suggested.

A background review of pertinent literature pertaining to role dissatisfaction is presented, and found to be complex. Role inequity was measured as the level of dissatisfaction with a partner's contribution to a range of different role activities postpartum. The Australian sample was comprised of 59 primiparous couples who reported levels of marital satisfaction during the last trimester of pregnancy (Time 1) and then 3 months after the birth of the baby (Time 2). Couples were recruited from a variety of sources: private physicians, childbirth classes, and public hospitals. Average marriage duration was 3.5 years. Mean female age was 23.85 years and mean male age was 26.71 years. Most had completed at least 12 years of formal education. Marital quality was measured by a 32 item Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) comprised of units on dyadic satisfaction, consensus, cohesion, and affectional expression. Time 1 mean correlation of subscales was .43, and Time 2, .36. Dissatisfaction with partner's role performance was measured with an instrument of 18 items developed by Noller and Callan. Alpha coefficients were .69 and .71 for males and females respectively. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to assess marital quality scores by sex and time period and changes in marital quality due to level of postnatal role dissatisfaction by sex and time period. The Bonferronni procedure was used to control the Type 1 error rate for all analyses after the initial analysis of variance. The results revealed that the decline in marital quality reported in the literature may be a reflection of a decline in affectional expression. There was no support for the expectation that females experienced greater declines in marital quality than males, although it is possible that those experiencing greater dissatisfaction may not have provided followup data. There was support for the notion that females' levels of role dissatisfaction account for declines in marital quality; i.e., there was a decline in scores of affectional expression of women only who were also dissatisfied with a partner's role performance. When females perceived partner's performing a fair share in household tasks, marital quality increased. Future research on causation should explore the inequity model and use an objective measure of 1 or both variables. The link between role relations to the extent of change in new mothers' levels of marital quality suggests prenatal counseling on marital roles. Role inequity had no effect on male levels of decline in marital quality. Independent processes may account for these results, but there is a promising direction.; Language: English NT - TJ: AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY IS - 0004-9530 IL - 0004-9530 DO - https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00049539108260136 PT - Journal Article ID - 12285193 [pubmed] ID - 10.1080/00049539108260136 [doi] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1991 Dec DC - 19921001 EZ - 1991/12/01 00:00 DA - 2002/10/09 04:00 DT - 1991/12/01 00:00 YR - 1991 ED - 19921001 RD - 20071115 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=12285193 <436. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 1645075 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

AB - DESIGN: The study was a population based prospective study. Self administered questionnaires were completed on three occasions. AB - SETTING: The study area was Uppsala county, Sweden, in 1987. AB - PARTICIPANTS: The participants were women registered with antenatal care clinics, which included all pregnant women in the county. Ninety six percent (n = 3678) of all pregnant women completed the first questionnaire. Thirty two percent of these were smokers at time of conception. AB - MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Twenty nine percent of the smokers stopped smoking at some stage of pregnancy, and the majority did so before having registered for antenatal care. Using logistic regression analysis it was found that high parity number, not living with infant's father, heavy smoking, and daily passive smoking at home were associated with significantly increased risk for continued smoking during pregnancy. High level of education and high age at onset of smoking decreased the risk. AB - CONCLUSIONS: In order to reduce the smoking related risks for unsuccessful pregnancy outcome, general preventive efforts in society must be combined with the development of more specialised antenatal programmes designed with consideration of the characteristics and life situation of the pregnant smoker.

However they traditionally have not been included in most breast-feeding education programs. To examine expectant fathers' attitudes and knowledge regarding breast-feeding, we surveyed 268 men during the first session of their childbirth education classes at five private hospitals in Houston, Texas. The study population was 81% white, 8% black, and 6% hispanic. Ninety-seven percent (n = 259) of the total were married. Fifty-eight percent (n = 156) reported that their spouses planned to breast-feed exclusively; several significant differences existed between these men and those who reported plans for exclusive formula feeding. The breast-feeding group was more likely to believe breast-feeding is better for the baby (96% vs 62%; P less than .0001), helps with infant bonding (92% vs 53%; P less than .0001), and protects the infant from disease (79% vs 47% P less than .001). The breast-feeding group was also more likely to want their partner to breast-feed (90% vs 13%; P less than .0001) and to have respect for breast-feeding women (57% vs 16%; P less than .0001). Conversely, those in the formula feeding group were more likely to think breast-feeding is bad for breasts (52% vs 22%; P less than .01), makes breasts ugly (44% vs 23%; P less than .05), and interferes with sex (72% vs 24%; P less than .0001). The majority of both groups indicated breast-feeding was not acceptable in public (breast-feeding = 71%, formula feeding = 78%, P less than .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) IS - 0031-4005 IL - 0031-4005 PT - Journal Article ID - 1641286 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1992 Aug DC - 19920831 EZ - 1992/08/01 00:00 DA - 1992/08/01 00:01 DT - 1992/08/01 YR - 1992 ED - 19920831 RD - 20041117 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=1641286 <438. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 1604381 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

The sources, types and amounts of perceived social support were determined for women during their third trimester of pregnancy and at four weeks of postpartum breastfeeding. Differences in social support were reported for women who stated an intention to breastfeed and those who planned to bottle feed. The tangible, emotional and informational functions of social support were measured as aggregate values across support sources. Tangible and emotional support were not significantly different between intended breast or bottle feeders. However, informational support was higher for women who intended to breastfeed compared to those who intended to bottle feed. Mean scores were then analyzed for specific individuals who might provide support. The baby's father was a more important source of tangible support for intended breastfeeders. Intended breastfeeders also indicated they received more emotional and informational support from the baby's father and prenatal classes. Tangible, emotional and information support did not change pre- and postnatally for women who breastfed. However, certain sources did provide more support postnatally. Finally, predictors such as level of education, a belief that breastfeeding was better for health and emotional closeness, fewer children, moderate tangible and emotional support and more informational support were identified for women who intended to breastfeed.

These problems include low birth weight, child abuse and neglect, childhood injuries, unintended and closely spaced pregnancy, and reduced economic self-sufficiency on the part of parents. Evidence is accumulating that these problems can be reduced with comprehensive programs of prenatal and infancy home visitation by nurses. While we are witnessing a renaissance of interest in home visitation as a means of addressing these problems, the recommendations of various health and human service advisory groups about the structure of proposed home-visitation initiatives are uncoordinated and frequently inconsistent with the empirical evidence. Home visitation is a promising strategy, but only when the program meets certain standards. The more successful programs contain the following: (1) a focus on families at greater need for the service, (2) the use of nurses who begin during pregnancy and follow the family at least through the second year of the child's life, (3) the promotion of positive health-related behaviors and qualities of infant care giving, and (4) provisions to reduce family stress by improving the social and physical environments in which families live.

Members of the training group were taught behavioral strategies to promote healthy, self-sufficient sleep patterns in their infants, whereas the control group received the same amount of personal contact without the behavioral training. Six sleep variables were derived from a daily infant sleep diary completed by parents at two time points. Results show that at age 6-9 weeks, infants in the training group displayed significantly better sleeping patterns than did control infants. Training group parents awakened and responded less often to infant signaling and reported greater parental competence. By contrast, control group parents indicated increased stress over time.

We explored the feasibility of allele-specific oligonucleotide probe typing for PIA antigens to determine the risk of second or subsequent fetuses in families where one infant had a diagnosis of anti-PIA1-mediated NATP. A total of eight families at risk for delivering an affected fetus were studied with both serologic and oligonucleotide typing. The correlation between serologic and oligonucleotide PIA types was 100%. Similarly, in an additional eight families not at risk for PIA1-mediated NATP, serologic and oligonucleotide typing maintained a perfect correlation. DNA isolated from fetal leukocytes as well as fetal amniocytes was successfully typed using this technology. Oligonucleotide-based typing of fetuses at risk for NATP whose fathers are heterozygous for the PIA antigens allows early recognition of affected fetuses so that prenatal therapy of mothers can be instituted if necessary. When fetuses are found to be unaffected, invasive, and/or expensive, prenatal interventions can be avoided.

Because adult limbic epilepsy is frequently associated with perinatal hypoxia or metabolic disruption within this region, a weak positive correlation was expected between possible signs of mesiobasal temporal lobe lability in normal adults and perinatal geomagnetic activity. Canonical correlation demonstrated that young adult males (n = 243) displayed a positive (r = 0.31) relationship between the intensity of geomagnetic disturbance the day after birth only and a history of subjective depersonalization, anomalous visual and olfactory experiences. The effects was very clear when aa values exceeded 30 nT (gamma). Temporal lobe signs for these males were similar to those reported by normal young adult females (n = 313) who did not display any consistent correlation between these measures and perinatal geomagnetic disturbance. The results suggest that interactions between perinatal neurochemistry and the correlates of geomagnetic activity might permanently alter portions of the male limbic system.

Research on adolescent pregnancy has proliferated in the last decade. We now have a substantial body of empirically-based findings in this area. Unfortunately, few substantive findings are available on adolescent fathers, yet the magnitude of this problem has reached epidemic proportion. This article will provide an overview of current research on adolescent fathers and their needs and offer suggestions for appropriate intervention. [References: 58] OA - PIP: An overview of current findings on and suggestions for appropriate intervention for adolescent fathers are discussed. Topics are identified as follows: adolescent pregnancy and demographic factors; adolescent fathers and sexuality ad contraception, attitudes toward abortion, psychological correlates, the role of and commitments and concerns, competency in parenting, infant development, problems, and needs; and needs for research and services. Adolescent fathers are trapped by low levels of educational attainment and family instability. Judgmental behavior of families, schools, and providers is a further hindrance. Minorities are prominently involved and their futures are not promising. In order to strengthen the role and position of minority men within the family, the community, and society, strategies need to be developed that must involve family members, peers, health care services, schools, and organizations such as the Urban League, Planned Parenthood, and churches. Important components of programs are the teaching and modeling of responsibility along with sustaining group identity. Research needs to be conducted to go beyond the limitations of prior studies which 1) are based on small, biased samples recruited through pregnant or parenting females, 2) are cross-sectional observations of social and psychological factors of only teen fathers in a crisis situation, and 3) lack standardized measurement of the social and behavioral characteristics. Suggested future research should emphasize studies 1) with a longitudinal format and adequate samples that have predictive value; 2) of sexual attitudes, contraceptive knowledge, and behavior; 3) of adolescent couples and contraceptive intentions; 4) of gender differences in parenting and responsibility; 5) of what constitutes competent functioning for the teenage male; 6) of the role and influence of parents in the adolescent decision to continue or not to continue the pregnancy; and 7) of the nature and extent of father and infant play which facilitates infant development. Since males receive most of their sexual and contraceptive information from schools and the media, schools adopt curricula on family planning and sexuality. comprehensive health care services and evaluation should be provided by schools in a manner that supports abstention and contraception. Service programs need to involve males in prenatal and parenting classes, and maternity wards must meet adolescent fathers' needs in basic caretaking. Infant development and caretaking training classes in some school or other location need to involve adolescent males. Paternity leave is a must.; Language: English [References: 58] NT - TJ: JOURNAL OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL POLICY IS - 0897-7186 IL - 0897-7186 DO - https://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J045v01n03_02 PT - Journal Article PT - Review ID - 10112200 [pubmed] ID - 10.1300/J045v01n03_02 [doi] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1990 DC - 19910925 EZ - 1989/12/10 00:00 DA - 1989/12/10 00:01 DT - 1989/12/10 YR - 1990 ED - 19910925 RD - 20051116 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med3&AN=10112200 <444. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 2078614 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Twenty-five percent of biochemically detected pregnancies ended within six weeks of the last menstrual period; all but two of these losses were clinically unrecognized. While our sample is small, it is the first to allow description of possible associations between risk of early pregnancy loss and maternal characteristics or exposures. We looked at risk in relation to a woman's age, pregnancy history, weight, education, prenatal DES exposure, cigarette smoking, use of caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, marijuana, cigarette smoking by baby's father, and other variables. None of these factors was definitely associated with early pregnancy loss. Still, the possibility of real effects cannot be excluded and deserves further study.

Here, we report qualitative findings about parents' descriptions of their infants' personalities before and after birth, as well as descriptions of their relationships with their infants and their first feelings of love for their infants. Descriptions of infant personalities were remarkably vivid before and after birth, but there were changes in the prominence of several attributes over time.

A thorough discussion of women's health care as it was presented to the authors is provided. Each author found the experience invaluable to her understanding of the world and the vast differences, as well as commonalities, between health care in the United States and health care in China. OA - PIP: This article provides a perspective of health care in China based upon the observations of 3 American nurses who visited the country for 6 weeks between 1986 and 1988. The authors provide an overview of the health care system including the primary mission, the hierarchy of services, the educational background of the medical personnel, and insurance programs. There is a focus on nursing as a profession that includes a history of the formal institutions established for the training of nurses. 3 of the problems identified within the nursing field were a shortage of nurses, an inadequate supply of textbooks for the training programs, and the lack of a licensure requirement to practice nursing. The authors discuss at length of issues of overpopulation, the national family planning program, and maternity care. The government had implemented a program that allowed each couple to have only 1 child. Despite this policy, many couples would continue to have children until they had a son because of the high societal value placed on males over females. The government was working to address the traditional and economic factors that contributed to the preference for male children. Some of the initiatives mentioned included providing care and financial support for the elderly, granting special benefits to couples who had only a daughter, and giving priority to women for school and employment. The majority of the paper focuses on the trends and practices in maternal and child health. In conjunction with the government's family planning policy, contraceptives, abortions, and sterilizations were easily obtained. Couples eagerly anticipate parenthood and are very cooperative in participating in prenatal care and education. Fathers are encouraged to take an active role in the educating process. There is an emphasis on proper nutrition and careful monitoring during pregnancy. Both traditional and Western style hospitals and clinics offer maternity services. Obstetric patients are often treated with a combination of traditional and Western methods. Some traditional methods described include the use of acupuncture and heat to change the position of the fetus, and an herbal medicine that is said to be effective in terminating ectopic pregnancies. Western medicine facilities offered chromosome analysis, urinary estriol, and serum alpha-feto protein levels. Genetic screening and counseling was also available. There was said to be a high rate of pregnancy-induced hypertension, (41.2% in Beijing). It was reported that premature births are rare. Perinatal mortality rates ranged between 12.7 and 13.9%. Fetal monitors were available, but were not seen in use. Analgesia was rarely administered during labor because it was believed to have a negative effect on the baby. Private rooms were not available on the maternity units due to a lack of space and extreme shortage of nursing staff. Mothers were encouraged to have their babies room-in with them. There has been an increase by almost 30% in the number of women who chose to breast feed after the rooming-in was instituted. Most women receive 10 weeks of paid maternity leave; some factories provide 4 months of paid maternity leave; some factories provide 4 months of paid leave. When mothers returned to work, most children were cared for in a state-run nursery or by a grandmother.; Language: English NT - TJ: HEALTH CARE FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL.

Counselled patients showed certain benefits concerning the acceptance of the malformation and feelings of autonomy. Integration of psychodynamic knowledge into routine care and obligatory psychotherapeutic counselling are proposed.

SB - Index Medicus CP - England MH - Adolescent MH - Adult MH - Female MH - *Fetus/pa [Pathology] MH - Humans MH - *Polyploidy MH - Pregnancy MH - *Pregnancy Complications MH - *Prenatal Diagnosis AB - Seven cases of triploidy were encountered by the Prenatal Diagnosis Program at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center over an 8-year period through associated pregnancy complications. We describe the characteristic findings that facilitate prenatal diagnosis and management. Our experience includes fetuses with major central nervous system abnormalities (spina bifida aperta, holoprosencephaly) and anterior abdominal wall defects, which are detectable with routine prenatal diagnostic screening examinations (ultrasound and AFP). In addition, we stress the importance of recognizing obstetric complications and associated cystic placental changes, which are quite common among triploid conceptuses. Molar changes associated with triploidy have a more benign prognosis than that associated with diploid moles. Such molar changes may relate to the presence of a diploid paternal chromosome complement. The usefulness of cytofluorometric DNA determinations in helping to confirm a clinical suspicion of triploidy is emphasized. These cases are presented in an effort to facilitate prenatal recognition and management of this common cytogenetic condition and prevent unnecessary Caesarean section deliveries.

There were 56 vaginal deliveries and 24 cesarean section deliveries. Data were collected by interview at the latter part of the second trimester and three months post-partum by examination of the mothers' and infants' medical records, and by observation of mother-infant feedings at two days and three months postpartum. The infants' birthweight, weeks of gestation, and Apgar scores at five minutes, maternal age at delivery, and maternal and child health index risk scores were not significantly different between the two groups. Mothers who had cesarean delivery had significantly higher labor index risk scores than those with vaginal birth. The mothers and fathers were not significantly different on levels of depression or marital adjustment prenatally or at three months postpartum. There were no significant differences in mother-infant behaviors during the feedings observed. That we found no differences after cesarean and vaginal delivery would support the theory that mothers respond to infants' behavioral repertoire and not to the mode of delivery.

Paternal involvement in, and attitudes toward, infant caretaking and ratings of infant difficultness were compared in the two groups. Father-infant interaction was measured by two-minute videotape analysis at eight weeks postpartum. Paternal attitudes, caretaking activities, and perceptions of their infants were measured by questionnaire self-reports. There were significant differences in the quality, but not quantity, of father-infant interactions, and in one of four measures of infant difficultness (unpredictability) between the two groups.

For teenagers in need of a pregnancy test, the easy-to-perform, highly sensitive and specific enzyme immunoassay analysis for measuring beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) is ideal. However, no single beta-HCG analysis should be taken as absolute evidence for the presence or absence of pregnancy. Instead, an integrated approach using all of the health care professional's skills in adolescent health care should be taken. In some cases a careful history and physical examination will confirm the pregnancy. At other times serial quantitative serum HCG titers, pelvic ultrasonography, and culdocentesis may be necessary to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion. For more than three quarters of pregnant adolescents the pregnancy is unplanned and may represent a major conflict for themselves, their partner, and their families. When such an event occurs the health care professional will frequently be sought as a resource. Successful pregnancy counseling has many components. The adolescent will need to visualize the counselor as an available, sensitive, nonjudgmental individual who believes in the right of the pregnant teenager ultimately to progress to her own decision. The counseling process should be firmly based on an understanding of adolescent psychosocial and biologic development, crises intervention techniques, and family dynamics. The counselor needs to be a reliable information source. If the adolescent decides to go to term, programs offering comprehensive prenatal services to teenagers should be identified. Information concerning high-quality, low-cost abortion services also will need to be available for those who wish to terminate. It is important to monitor the quality of care given in prenatal and abortion service referrals. Few adolescents currently choose to place their babies for adoption. Counseling in this area is especially needed. Several types of adoption procedures are available and at appropriate times during a teenager's neonatal care adoption should be presented as a reasonable alternative to parenthood. Throughout this process, the health care professional will have opportunities to discuss a wide variety of health related topics with the adolescent and often her partner and their respective families. Ideally, whatever her final decision, it is the goal of the counselor to make the experience a positive and maturing influence on her life and the lives of other persons involved. [References: 37] OA - PIP: A review of pregnancy diagnosis, testing and counseling for adolescents includes both professional and home tests, and issues to consider when counseling a pregnant adolescent, especially legal implications of her decision. Presumptive signs and symptoms of pregnancy are considered with results of pregnancy tests, all of which are assays for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The beta chain of hCG can be radioimmunoassayed quantitatively as early as 9 days after the LH peak: quantitative information is useful to define a healthy pregnancy, when hCG doubles every 48 hours. Professional slide, tube, dipstick and ELISA tests are discussed and tabulated. Home pregnancy tests are more reliable if the woman uses one with 2 tests per packet, and utilizes the 800 toll call number is she has questions. Pregnancy counseling for adolescents is a process, usually done in crisis. It should be done expeditiously, yet the girl should be allowed to come to her own conclusion. Since currently few teens consider adoption, all options should be described, including agency adoption, open agency adoption where she helps decide on the newborn's placement, and independent adoption, done privately with an attorney. Legal issues that need to be considered within the context of teen pregnancy counseling include: legal consent for abortion, especially if parental consent is not obtained, access to a lawyer for those intending to keep the baby, to define issues of paternity, custody and support, referral to an attorney for adoption, and mandatory reports of pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, without which civil penalties may be incurred. It is important to use nondirective language, such as "fetus" rather than "baby," and to refer the pregnant adolescent to all needed services, such as prenatal care or postabortion follow-up.; Language: English [References: 37] NT - TJ: PEDIATRIC CLINICS OF NORTH AMERICA.

The mothers were all Jewish, none were single, and none were social welfare dependents. Of these mothers, 72% were breast-feeding, 6% stated an intent to breast-feed, and 22% were formula-feeding their infants. A significantly increased rate of breast-feeding was found among mothers with the following characteristics: those of orthodox religious belief, high educational level, in the academic and paraacademic professions, nonsmokers, those who worked outside of the home during the pregnancy, those who had previous breast-feeding success, and mothers whose husbands' attitude toward breast-feeding was positive. The decision to breast-feed was made prior to delivery in 85% of mothers. Participation of the mother and/or father in antenatal preparation courses did not significantly influence the initiation of breast-feeding. Multivariant analysis with a stepwise logistic regression model delineated the four factors most significantly associated with the initiation of breast-feeding: positive spousal attitude toward breast-feeding, orthodox religious belief, nonsmoking, and work outside of the home during the pregnancy. The expected probability for initiating breast-feeding was computed for the various combinations of these four categories and ranged from .94 with all factors present to .33 in the absence of these characteristics.

The purpose of the present study was to examine information sources influencing persons' beliefs concerning father-infant bonding. As a follow-up to their participation in a larger survey (N = 244), 17 subjects responded to individual, in-depth interviews investigating the strength and direction of laypersons' bonding beliefs. Specifically, the investigator wanted to know what types and sources of evidence people would cite as influencing their beliefs about father-infant bonding. Although a majority of respondents expressed strong belief in both the phenomenon of bonding and the existence of scientific evidence to support it, only one subject had direct exposure to a professional journal article on the topic. Of those subjects able to cite information sources impacting upon their bonding beliefs, "general knowledge" was most frequently cited, followed by mass media, classes, and popular readings. These findings can explain the mismatch between the lack of unequivocal empirical evidence supportive of father-infant bonding and the strength and pervasiveness of the subjects' beliefs. Implications are discussed for medical personnel and childbirth and parent educators.

Results indicated that the experience was stressful for all the expectant fathers, and expectant fathers only coached their spouses with their breathing exercises at labor's peak. Fathers spent more time trying to hide their feelings and worrying about their usefulness. These findings have significance for the prenatal education of couples, the education of health professionals, and the practice of labor and delivery nursing.

Extensive studies of the polymorphic sites within the beta globin gene cluster in all the members of the family resulted in the conclusion that the paternal chromosome 11 of the newborn was different from that expected. Paternity was confirmed by HLA typing and blood group studies. The analysis of another polymorphic locus on chromosome 11 within the family was in agreement with the possibility of a crossing over between the two paternal chromosomes in a region 5' to the beta gene, previously indicated to contain a 'hot spot' area for recombination. This report underlines the risk of performing prenatal diagnosis using restriction polymorphisms 5' to the beta gene.

This period constitutes a window of opportunity through which parent-infant interaction may be reinforced, offering the possibility of decreasing the risk of family dysfunction. This review article clarifies the relationship between the enhancement of parent-infant interactions and the prevention of child abuse and neglect. It contains a detailed discussion of the capabilities of the newborn and places in perspective the difficulty experienced when parents who were themselves mistreated in childhood struggle to establish a system of communication with their own newborn children. The perinatal intervention program, a program intended to teach new parents the skills of interaction with their newborns, is described and placed into perspective with other perinatal programs which have been reported to be capable of augmenting the capacity for communication. The authors review the research data demonstrating the efficacy of these perinatal parent-infant programs. The paper concludes with a review of effective interventions, a discussion of what can be expected of each, and suggestions for the practical application of the programs during the perinatal period. The authors recognize that no program taken in isolation is sufficient; taken together they have the ability to improve parent-child relations, and they thus constitute a multifaceted approach to the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Both interview and questionnaire data confirm the fact that motives, beliefs, and expectations concerning paternal participation in labor and delivery are widely distributed across a variety of social contexts.

Health behavior is defined as timing of pregnancy test and first prenatal visit. Data were gathered from a sample of 105 Anglo, Mexican-American, and Mexican adolescents interviewed at mid-pregnancy. Almost twice as many Mexicans (64%) as Mexican-Americans never saw their fathers (p less than 0.03). Girls living with their fathers obtained pregnancy tests significantly later (p less than 0.01) than those living independently. This relationship was maintained when ethnicity was held constant (p less than 0.01). When quality of contact was included, the relationship between residency with father and timing of pregnancy test became even stronger (p less than 0.003).

For women, the prospect of birth was a major worry during pregnancy. Negative expectations proved in general to be justified by events, with many women reporting predominantly bad memories of the experience. Satisfaction with the hospital inpatient stay is also considered: a major source of dissatisfaction was inadequate help with breast feeding, which produced many difficulties. Middle class mothers were in general more dissatisfied with their hospital stay, as were women who had Caesarean births. Relationships were found between antenatal class attendances and the likelihood of a normal delivery and reported pain during childbirth. The role and experience of fathers was also considered. Most expected to be at the birth from an early stage in pregnancy; more than two-thirds were present for the delivery and half or more at the labour. Their experience at this time was more positive than that of their partners. But during the hospital stay, this role was much more marginal. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for antenatal preparation, breast feeding and paternal involvement.

Data were collected mainly from questionnaires, 8 weeks before term. The participants were a more heterogeneous group than was expected when starting the program. Compared with the non-participants, they were characterized by: a less positive attitude to post-partum care in hospital and greater self-confidence in terms of confidence when thinking of birth and parenthood. They were more often multipara and had experienced rather less complicated pregnancies. They were a little younger and somewhat less well educated as a group, but the proportion of well educated women was the same as among non-participants. They had attended antenatal classes this pregnancy to a lesser extent, but felt better prepared for the delivery. They had a greater number of supportive persons available in case of early discharge. There was no difference between participants and non-participants as regards economy, housing conditions, distance to hospital, proportion of immigrants, paternal interest in childbirth and parenthood, equality in parental relations, social contacts, and leisure activities.

This study compared pregnant adolescents who attended a PEP (PA), those who did not attend a PEP (PC), and nonpregnant adolescents (NP) for differences in personality characteristics--self-concept, anxiety, and depression--which might account for postdelivery outcomes. On pre- and posttests administered four to six weeks apart, the PA did not indicate any changes over time and the groups did not differ significantly in self-concept and state and trait anxiety levels. Although the PA group showed a significantly higher level of depression on the pretest than did the NP group, they did not differ significantly at posttesting. According to demographic variables, the number of persons in household was significantly higher for the NP group than for the PA and PC groups. These results, not always consistent with past research on teenagers' personality characteristics, suggest: that the groups did not differ in terms of these personality characteristics, and that for these subjects (88% black), the tendency toward higher depression and anxiety levels in adolescence may not be significantly different from that experienced during pregnancy. The drawbacks of research in this area and for this project are discussed.

Another drawback was that the researcher could not control the content of the prenatal education classes. An additional drawback was that the subjects in the 2 groups of pregnant teenagers were not asked why they became pregnant.; Language: English NT - TJ: ADOLESCENCE IS - 0001-8449 IL - 0001-8449 PT - Journal Article ID - 3591495 [pubmed] PP - ppublish LG - English DP - 1987 Spring DC - 19870626 EZ - 1987/01/01 00:00 DA - 1987/01/01 00:01 DT - 1987/01/01 YR - 1987 ED - 19870626 RD - 20041117 UP - 20161215 XL - http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med2&AN=3591495 <466. > VN - Ovid Technologies DB - Ovid MEDLINE(R) UI - 3644587 RO - From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

As part of a prenatal education intervention study, 28 unmarried adolescent fathers responded to a questionnaire containing items about their readiness for fatherhood, antepartal behavioral interactions, and projected postpartal behaviors with their pregnant adolescent partners, as well as their projected behaviors with their infants. The adolescent males reported that initially they either were definitely unready for paternity (75%) or were undecided about readiness for fatherhood (21%). However, as pregnancy advanced beyond the second trimester, only 57% of the respondents did not want to become fathers. To a significant extent, those who did not were least likely to engage in behaviors supportive of their mate's health antepartally, or to indicate a desire to care for and interact with their expected infant. In addition, they tended to project lower levels of postnatal involvement with the adolescent mothers of their children as compared to those males who were more accepting of their pending fatherhood. Moreover, males who had maintained long prepregnancy relationships with their mates tended to be more supportive of them prenatally, and to perceive themselves as maintaining close relationships with both the mothers and infants after delivery. Finally, 86% of the adolescent fathers planned to work to contribute to the support of their infants. The data demonstrate that unreadiness for fatherhood may be associated with responsible as well as irresponsible behaviors. Accordingly, these data are interpreted as having implications for the establishment of programs and policies which focus on the adolescent male population in order to interdict the high rate of unwed adolescent pregnancy.

Thirty-eight couples were recruited from childbirth classes for a short-term longitudinal study. Mother's perceptions of activity, rhythmicity and mood were moderately stable from late pregnancy to 6 mth postnatally. Only father's perceptions of activity were stable during this time. Infants rated by parents as difficult on the Carey Infant Temperament Questionnaire at 6 mth were rated by observers as less responsive while being fed by their mothers. Results are discussed in the context of influences on parental perceptions of temperament.

In each questionnaire period individual questionnaires were filled out daily by both the mother and father for 10 consecutive days. The results indicated that the postpartum period, compared with the prepartum and follow-up periods, is an emotionally unique time but not a period marked by depression. The moods that were rated as being experienced more strongly by men and women during the postpartum period were associated with anxiety and concern for one's ability to cope such as "nervousness," "worried," "helpless," and "anxious" or positive emotions such as "enthusiastic" and "happy." It is concluded that men and women in this sample tend to experience the postpartum period in an emotionally similar way.

The program was designed to prevent a wide range of health and developmental problems in children born to primiparous women who were either teenagers, unmarried, or of low socioeconomic status. During pregnancy, women who were visited by nurses, compared with women randomly assigned to comparison groups, became aware of more community services; attended childbirth classes more frequently; made more extensive use of the nutritional supplementation program for women, infants, and children; made greater dietary improvements; reported that their babies' fathers became more interested in their pregnancies; were accompanied to the hospital by a support person during labor more frequently; reported talking more frequently to family members, friends, and service providers about their pregnancies and personal problems; and had fewer kidney infections. Positive effects of the program on birth weight and length of gestation were present for the offspring of young adolescents (less than 17 years of age) and smokers. In contrast to their comparison-group counterparts, young adolescents who were visited by nurses gave birth to newborns who were an average of 395 g heavier, and women who smoked and were visited by nurses exhibited a 75% reduction in the incidence of preterm delivery.

Responses of preclass and postdelivery male and female clients were compared using content analysis and chi-square statistics. Results suggest that interest followed pregnancy chronology, fathers expected to learn facts, mothers expected to learn coping strategies, and both expected to learn breathing, relaxation, and infant care techniques. Although clients felt that more time should have been spent on the majority of topics, 64% of mothers and 53% of fathers said that the classes had met their expectations.

Eighty-one pregnant women and their husbands received the educational program. Eighteen couples experienced cesarean childbirth. Mailed questionnaires containing items dealing with reactions to the educational program and responses to cesarean birth were returned by 15 of these couples. Findings indicated that the educational program met most of the information needs of the study participants. Both mothers and fathers exhibited adaptive and ineffective responses to the cesarean, although the responses were more positive than previous studies have reported.

To evaluate these assumptions, 165 families cared for by the Perinatal Mortality Counseling Program because of stillbirth or immediate neonatal death were offered a series of choices about their care, including how they wished to deal with their baby's death. Parental decisions were compared with selected demographic and obstetric features considered as underlying those decisions that traditionally have been made by physicians or the hospital staff. The authors found that parents desire contact with their baby, attention to their feelings, counseling from those providing their care, and information about their baby's death. Few demographic and obstetric features seemed to influence the choices. This suggests that physicians and hospital staff should not presume to determine the wishes of any parent or family faced with this tragedy.

Differences in those characteristics were also compared for women breast feeding their infants for various lengths of time. Of the hypotheses tested, those with significant results included an increased incidence of breast feeding in women who had a higher educational attainment, entered prenatal care in the first trimester, had spent most of their lives outside the U.S., had the baby's father's support for breast feeding, and had previously breast fed. Increased duration of breast feeding was significantly associated with father's support of breast feeding, receipt of breast-feeding information, and the delayed introduction and infrequent use of breast-milk substitutes. The incidence of breast feeding reported (56.3%) compares favorably with rates reported for higher-income population segments. Early cessation of breast feeding was frequent; possible strategies to resolve this problem are presented.

However, this increase is not particularly evident in lower socioeconomic groups. Factors associated with the decision to breast-feed or not were investigated in a population of 379 mothers. Self-completed questionnaires were obtained from 94.5% of these mothers. Data with respect to demographics, reproductive history, prenatal care, and education were collected. Only 27.2% of the study population indicated that they intended to breast-feed. Using the chi2 test for equality of proportions, marital status, head of household, maternal and paternal ethnicity, maternal education, income, and number of pregnancy were found to be the most important variables associated with breast-feeding. The effect of ethnicity predominated over that of the other demographic variables when they were examined jointly within ethnic groups. The effect of ethnicity was apparent when the number of each ethnic group in the study population was compared with the percent of that group that intended to breast-feed: 145 Anglo-Americans, 43.5% breast-feeding; 131 black Americans, 9.2%; 62 Mexican Americans, 22.6%; 19 others, 42.1%. The importance of ethnicity in the decision to breast-feed has probably been underestimated. Efforts to increase breast-feeding in the United States ought to be designed with full consideration of this factor.

Expectant parents enrolled in prepared childbirth classes were asked to evaluate, individually, the importance of issues associated with selecting an obstetrician, both before and after childbirth. The data indicated that the ability of the obstetrician to communicate effectively with patients was the most important factor; of little importance were factors related to the obstetrician's personal characteristics (e.g., age, sex) and professional training. Although the husband/wife rankings showed a high degree of similarity, some differences were observed: husbands had a greater concern for the wife's treatment by medical personnel, while wives had a greater concern for the husband's involvement in the childbirth process. The obstetrician's office nursing staff was more important than such factors as recommendations, fees, and medical experience. Given the young and involved nature of the sample, these results may represent a future trend in health-care consumers.

The revolutionary methodologies of this biomedical technology produce new ideas and new options for the quality of our life. While this paper is focused on prenatal testing for sickle cell anemia, it simultaneously illustrates the general complexity of public health issues and points out that some emerging scientific values may be more harmful than beneficial to the public because they are inappropriate priorities and do not deal with problems that truly affect the public's health. Special attention is given to issues of ethical significance demonstrating that scientific objectives have been emphasized and that beneficence and respect for persons are principles that have been neglected in Prenatal Sickle Cell interventions. Lastly, this paper advocates social policy to protect the at risk groups from what may become irresponsible public health paternalism. NT - 20 refs.

Following this decrease 219 consecutive pregnancies resulting in male infants were prospectively studied in order to identify factors associated with insistence on circumcision. Factors significantly associated with circumcision were the existence of an older brother (p less than 0.001), especially if circumcised (p less than 0.001), and delivery of prenatal care by an obstetrician rather than a general practitioner (p less than 0.05). Factors significantly associated with no circumcision were the fact that this infant was the first male born in the family (p = 0.001), delivery of prenatal and infant care by the same general practitioner (p less than 0.05) and a maternal age of 20 years or less (p less than 0.02). The circumcision status of the father, the marital status of the mother, the mother's intention to breast-feed, attendance of a primigravida at prenatal classes, delivery of infant care by a pediatrician and socioeconomic status did not appear to influence whether circumcision was performed. These data may assist physicians in understanding the potential effectiveness and limitations of counselling against circumcision.

Interview and field data were analyzed using constant comparative analytic technique for qualitative data. Evidence suggest a characteristic pattern of development of subjective emotional involvement in pregnancy among first-time expectant fathers. This pattern consists of three phases: an announcement phase, a moratorium and a focusing phase. The length of the second phase appears to be related to the man's perception of his own readiness for pregnancy. The father's speed of progression though these phases may affect later adjustment to fatherhood. Further testing and validation of these findings is indicated.

At 3 months 58% had been or still were breast-feeding their infants. The mothers who breast-fed were older, had a higher level of education, had a higher socioeconomic status, and were more likely to live on farms or in small towns, to have attended prenatal education classes and to have previously breast-feds. There were no significant differences between the method of feeding and the sex or birthweight of the infant, the maternal weight/height ratio or the participation of the father in the prenatal education classes. At 1 month 45% of the infants, at 2 months 35% and at 3 months 28% were being breast-fed. Public programs to promote breast-feeding as normal, beneficial and satisfying to both mother and infant are necessary so that more mothers will attempt to breast-feed their infants. Support for continuance of breast-feeding is needed in the hospital as well as in the home and the community.

Educational approaches included demonstrations and talks on automobile crash statistics in the prenatal course; and a car safety film on the hospital television, a pamphlet given to each mother, and instructions to nurses to encourage parents' purchase and use of car restraints in the postpartum period. Although differences were not statistically significant, the reported and actual use of infant restraints on the trip home was highest in the pre- plus postnatal education group. Counseling in any period was associated with higher restraint use than on counseling. The pediatrician's role in effecting positive behavioral changes in this and other areas is emphasized.

In 76 out of the 100 cases the polymorphic regions were informative, i.e. the nondisjunction could be traced. Assessment of the alpha 1-antitrypsin/alpha 1-protease inhibitor (PI) types in these DS children revealed a significantly higher value of non-M PI variants (P less than 0.05). In their fathers the non-M PI variants were not increased, not even in those in whom nondisjunction had taken place. A clearly significantly higher value (P less than 0.001) of non-M PI variants was found in their mothers, particularly when only the MS and MZ types which are recognised as deficiency variants were considered. Most striking, however, is the almost 5-fold increased frequency of MS and MZ types found in mothers where the nondisjunction had occurred during the first meiotic division. This would suggest that PI deficiency interferes with some process leading to non-disjunction. If these findings are confirmed, application of Bayes' theorem enables us to estimate the risk for MZ and MS heterozygous women to have a DS child: this would be 3- to 4- fold higher than for MM homozygous women. This would be of interest for genetic counselling and enhance the benefits of prenatal diagnosis programmes.

For women, prenatal expectations for infant interaction accounted for 61% of the variance in their parent-infant interaction. For men, a combination of low trait anxiety and high prenatal expectations accounted for 52% of the total variance. Low trait anxiety alone accounted for 27% of the variance and prenatal expectations another 26% of the variance for men, indicating little potential overlap in the combined predictive potential of these variables. Furthermore, the difference between expectation to interact and self-reported interaction for men correlated significantly with trait anxiety (r = 0.50, p = 0.001). No similar correlations of anxiety and parent-infant interaction were noted in women. All other variables relating to parent characteristics and/or the labor/delivery experience were found to have little relationship to parent-infant interaction. More research is recommended to further explore anxiety in new fathers. Parenting education for both parents is discussed in terms of role mastery techniques which can begin in childbirth preparation classes.

Fathers more often than mothers used the neuter pronoun "it" in describing their new babies. Parents who used the neuter pronoun were more often multiparous, were more likely to have attended childbirth preparation classes, and did not differ from other parents in parenting behaviors or husband-wife communication patterns assessed six months after birth. The data suggest that pronominalization may be a linguistic component of the development of the parental role.

Beliefs about bonding behavior are discussed as well as exploring whether this new knowledge is consistent with cross-cultural adaptations to the birth process. New rules and customs being introduced by professionals may be fostering a "detachment" phenomenon rather than the desired result of bonding behavior between parent and infant. Finally, a method of examining culturally divergent health beliefs and practices is discussed as a means of evaluating whether such practices are likely to be beneficial or harmful.

Expectant parents were asked to role play their first meeting with their baby using a doll, and the videotaped interaction was subsequently coded. Scores were correlated with measures of the couples' marital satisfaction as well as the postnatal family alliance 3 months after the baby's birth. Results showed that the prenatal co-parenting alliance was positively linked to both fathers' marital satisfaction as well as to the postnatal family alliance at 3 months. Thus, the prenatal LTP allows for assessment of the prenatal co-parenting alliance at the interactional level. It predicts the place the parents will afford their baby after birth and can contribute to methods of clinical assessment and prevention.

Additionally, kisspeptin in the POA of the intact female was examined during an LH surge induced prematurely by E2 administered in the early follicular phase. The number of kisspeptin neurons in the POA of males and females was similar. Immunoactive kisspeptin perikarya were not observed in the POA of castrate adult males, but such neurons in these animals were present within 12 h of imposing an increment in circulating E2 concentrations that in a screening study conducted 4-6 weeks earlier had elicited an LH surge. As expected, premature induction of an LH surge by E2 early in the follicular phase was associated with upregulation of kisspeptin in the POA. These results represent the first description of immunoreactive kisspeptin cell bodies in the POA of the macaque brain and provide further support for the view that (1) kisspeptin neurons in the POA of the female monkey are a target for the positive feedback action of E2 and (2) the hypothalamic mechanism which mediates this action of E2 in primates is not subjected to perinatal programming by testicular testosterone. Moreover, our findings indicate that maintenance of the kisspeptin content in the POA of intact male monkeys requires the action of E2, presumably generated by aromatization of testicular testosterone at the hypothalamic level.

AB - DESIGN: Sleep intervention within a randomised controlled trial for the Prevention of Overweight in Infancy (POI) study. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 802 families were randomly allocated to one of four groups: usual care (control), sleep intervention (sleep), food, activity and breastfeeding intervention (FAB), and combined group receiving both interventions (combination). AB - INTERVENTIONS: All groups received standard Well Child care. The sleep intervention groups (sleep and combination) received an antenatal group education session (all mothers and most partners) emphasising infant self-settling and safe sleeping, and a home visit at 3weeks reinforcing the antenatal sleep education. FAB and combination groups received four contacts providing education and support on breast feeding, food and activity up to 4months postpartum. AB - OUTCOME MEASURES: Here we report secondary sleep outcomes from the POI study: the prevalence of parent-reported infant sleep problems and night waking, and differences in sleep duration. Additional outcomes reported include differences in infant self-settling, safe sleep practices, and maternal and partner reports of their own sleep, fatigue and depression symptoms. AB - RESULTS: Linear or mixed linear regression models found no significant intervention effects on sleep outcomes, with 19.1% of mothers and 16.6% of partners reporting their infant's sleep a problem at 6 months. Actigraphy estimated the number of night wakings to be significantly reduced (8%) and the duration of daytime sleep increased (6min) in those groups receiving the sleep intervention compared with those who did not. However, these small differences were not clinically significant and not observed in 24hours infant sleep diary data. No other differences were observed. AB - CONCLUSION: A strategy delivering infant sleep education antenatally and at 3weeks postpartum was not effective in preventing the development of parent-reported infant sleep problems.

TI - The woman, partner and midwife: An integration of three perspectives of labour when intrapartum transfer from a birth centre to a tertiary obstetric unit occurs. SO - Women & Birth: Journal of the Australian College of Midwives. 30(2):e125-e131, 2017 Apr AS - Women Birth. 30(2):e125-e131, 2017 Apr NJ - Women and birth : journal of the Australian College of Midwives PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101266131 IO - Women Birth CP - Netherlands KW - Intrapartum; Midwife; Partner; Transfer; Woman AB - BACKGROUND: When transfer in labour takes place from a birth centre to a tertiary maternity hospital the woman, her partner and the midwife (the triad) are involved, representing three different perspectives. The purpose of this paper is to explore the integration of these intrapartum transfer experiences for the birth triad. AB - METHODS: Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological method of analysis was used to explore the 'lived' experiences of Western Australian women, their partners and midwives across the birth journey. Forty-five interviews were conducted. AB - FINDINGS: Findings revealed that experiences of intrapartum transfer were unique to each member of the triad (woman, partner and midwife) and yet there were also shared experiences. All three had three themes in common: 'The same journey through three different lenses'; 'In my own world' and 'Talking about the birth'. The woman and partner shared two themes: 'Lost birth dream' and 'Grateful to return to a familiar environment'. The woman and midwife both had: 'Gratitude for continuity of care model' and the partner and midwife both found they were: 'Struggling to adapt to a changing care model' and their 'Inside knowledge was not appreciated'. AB - CONCLUSION: Insight into the unique integrated experiences during a birth centre intrapartum transfer can inform midwives, empowering them to better support parents through antenatal education before and by offering discussion about the birth and transfer after. Translation of findings to practice also reinforces how midwives can support their colleagues by recognising the accompanying midwife's role and knowledge of the woman. AB - Crown Copyright © 2016.

SO - Neurotoxicology & Teratology. 61:82-91, 2017 May AS - Neurotoxicol Teratol. 61:82-91, 2017 May NJ - Neurotoxicology and teratology PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - nat, 8709538 IO - Neurotoxicol Teratol CP - United States KW - Disruptive behavior; Early adversity; Genexenvironment interaction; Monoamine oxidase A; Pregnancy smoking; Sex differences AB - BACKGROUND: We previously demonstrated a gene-by-prenatal-environment interaction whereby the monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) modified the impact of prenatal tobacco exposure (PTE) on adolescent disruptive behavior (DB), with the MAOA risk genotype varying by sex. We extend this work by examining whether this mechanism is evident with another common adversity, prenatal stress exposure (PSE), and whether sex differences are present earlier in development in closer proximity to exposure. AB - METHODS: Participants were 281 mothers and their 285 children derived from a prenatal cohort with in-depth prospective measures of PSE and PTE. We assessed DB at age 5 via dimensional developmentally-sensitive measurement. Analyses were stratified by sex based on prior evidence for sex differences. AB - RESULTS: Concurrent stress exposure predicted DB in children (beta=0.310, p=0.001), while main effects of prenatal exposures were seen only in boys. We found a three-way interaction of MAOAxPSExsex on DB (beta=0.813, p=0.022). Boys with MAOA-H had more DB as a function of PSE, controlling for PTE (beta=0.774, p=0.015), and as a function of PTE, controlling for PSE (beta=0.362, p=0.037). Boys with MAOA-L did not show this susceptibility. MAOA did not interact with PSE (beta=-0.133, p=0.561) nor PTE (beta=-0.144; p=0.505) in predicting DB in girls. Examination of gene-environment correlation (rGE) showed a correlation between paternal MAOA-L and daughters' concurrent stress exposure (r=-0.240, p=0.013). AB - DISCUSSION: Findings underscore complex mechanisms linking genetic susceptibility and early adverse exposures. Replication in larger cohorts followed from the pregnancy through adolescence is suggested to elucidate mechanisms that appear to have varying developmental expression.

[Review] SO - Psychiatry Research. 252:325-332, 2017 Jun AS - Psychiatry Res. 252:325-332, 2017 Jun NJ - Psychiatry research PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - qc4, 7911385 IO - Psychiatry Res CP - Ireland KW - Paternal postpartum depression; Perinatal depression; Pregnancy AB - Transition to parenthood represents an important life event which increases vulnerability to psychological disorders. Aim of this article is to analyze all studies which investigated the effects of untreated perinatal paternal depression in offspring. We searched pertinent, peer-reviewed articles published in English (January 1980 to April 2016) on MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Science.gov. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria. Most of the reviewed studies suffer from methodological limitations, including the small sample, the lack of a structured psychiatric diagnosis, and inclusion bias. Despite such limitations, paternal depression seems to be associated with an increased risk of developmental and behavioural problems and even psychiatric disorders in offspring. In particular, in infants and toddlers such problems vary from increased crying to hyperactivity and conduct problems to psychological and developmental impairment, and poor social outcomes. School-age children of depressed fathers have a doubled risk for suffering from specific psychiatric disorders. Hence, facilitating access to vigorous and evidence based treatments is a public health opportunity for improving the quality of life of depressed parents and their children. Evidences emerging from this review actually suggest that the traditional gender-focused approach to perinatal mood disorders should be completed by a family-centred approach, in order to improve the effectiveness of perinatal mental health programs.

TI - Coparenting interactions observed by the prenatal lausanne trilogue play: An Italian replication study. SO - Infant Mental Health Journal. 33(6):609-619, 2012 Nov AS - Infant Ment Health J. 33(6):609-619, 2012 Nov NJ - Infant mental health journal PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 8007859 IO - Infant Ment Health J CP - United States AB - The infant-parent interaction is the focus of interest on early interactive relational models in the triadic perspective. This approach considers the mother-father-child interaction as the matrix of early competences, which start to develop well before delivery. This theoretical approach has generated an observation paradigm, the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP; E. Fivaz-Depeursinge & A. Corboz-Warnery, 1999). The aim of the study was to investigate (a) the psychometric characteristics of coding of the prenatal LTP procedure and their comparison with the Lausanne validation studies and (b) the characteristics of triadic interactions during pregnancy. Ninety-eight nonreferred, primiparous families were recruited at childbirth courses. In addition to validated questionnaires, observational data were collected at the seventh month of pregnancy in the prenatal LTP. The collected data show good reliability of the LTP coding and a consistent factorial structure in line with the Lausanne validation studies (C. Carneiro, A. Corboz-Warnery, & E. Fivaz-Depeursinge, 2006; N. Favez et al., 2006). The Structure of the Play and the Intuitive Parenting Behaviors Scales seem the most representative dimensions in the prenatal period. Coparental abilities during pregnancy represent an interactive matrix for the construction of early family relations and may be considered as protective factors in the child's development of early triadic interactive abilities.

Our aims were to determine whether the effect of an antenatal maternal dietary and lifestyle intervention among women who are overweight or obese on newborn adiposity, was modified by paternal obesity. We conducted a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomised trial. Pregnant women with BMI >=25kg/m² received either Lifestyle Advice or Standard Care. Paternal anthropometric measures included height, weight, BMI; waist, hip, calf and mid-upper arm circumferences; biceps and calf skinfold thickness measurements (SFTM); and percentage body fat. Newborn anthropometric outcomes included length; weight; head, arm, abdominal, and chest circumferences; biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, thigh, and lateral abdominal wall SFTM; and percentage body fat. The effect of an antenatal maternal dietary and lifestyle intervention among women who were overweight or obese on neonatal anthropometric measures, was significantly modified by paternal BMI >=35.0kg/m², with a significantly smaller infant triceps, suprailiac, and thigh SFTM, and percent fat mass, compared with that observed in offspring of lean fathers. Further research is required to determine whether our observed associations are causal, and whether paternal weight loss prior to conception is a potential strategy to reduce the intergenerational effects of obesity.

TI - Antenatal small-class education versus auditorium-based lectures to promote positive transitioning to parenthood - A randomised trial. SO - PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 12(5):e0176819, 2017 AS - PLoS ONE. 12(5):e0176819, 2017 NJ - PloS one PI - Journal available in: Electronic-eCollection PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101285081 IO - PLoS ONE CP - United States AB - Prospective parents widely use education to gain information about, e.g., labour and parenting skills. It is unknown if antenatal education in small classes is more beneficial for parenting stress and parenting alliance compared with other types of antenatal education. In the present randomised trial, we examined the effect of antenatal education in small classes versus auditorium-based lectures on perceived stress, parenting stress, and parenting alliance. A total of 1,766 pregnant women were randomised to receive: antenatal education in small classes three times in pregnancy and one time after delivery, each session lasted 2.5 hours, versus standard care consisting of two times two hours auditorium-based lectures. Previous analysis of the primary outcome showed no difference between intervention and control group. Here we conduct an exploratory analysis of three secondary outcomes. Effects of the interventions on parents' global feelings of stress at 37 weeks gestation and nine weeks and six months postpartum and parenting stress nine weeks and six months postpartum were examined using linear regression analyses and mixed models with repeated measurements. The effect on parenting alliance six months postpartum was examined using the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Antenatal education in small classes had a small beneficial main effect on global feelings of stress six months postpartum and a statistically significant interaction between time and group favoring antenatal education in small classes. The P values of intervention effects on parenting stress and parenting alliance were all larger than the threshold value (0.05).

TI - A Prenatal Coparenting Intervention With Unmarried Father-Mother Dyads: Fidelity of Intervention Delivery by Male-Female Community Mentor Teams. SO - Journal of Nursing Research. 25(3):240-250, 2017 Jun AS - J Nurs Res. 25(3):240-250, 2017 Jun NJ - The journal of nursing research : JNR PI - Journal available in: Print PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101128757 IO - J Nurs Res CP - China (Republic : 1949- ) AB - BACKGROUND: Most prenatal preventive interventions for unmarried mothers do not integrate fathers or help the parents plan for the development of a functional coparenting alliance after the baby's arrival. Furthermore, properly trained professionals have only rarely examined the fidelity of these interventions. AB - PURPOSE: This report examines whether experienced community interventionists (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood service personnel) with no formal couples' therapy training are capable of pairing together to deliver with adequate fidelity a manualized dyadic intervention designed for expectant unmarried mothers and fathers. AB - METHODS: Three male and four female mentors (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood personnel) working in paired male-female co-mentor teams delivered a seven-session "Figuring It Out for the Child" curriculum (six prenatal sessions, one booster) to 14 multirisk, unmarried African American families (parent age ranging from 14 to 40). Parental well-being and views of fatherhood were assessed before the intervention and again 3 months after the baby's birth. Quality assurance analysts evaluated mentor fidelity (adherence to the curriculum, competence in engaging couples with specified curricular content) through a review of the transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Mentors also rated their own adherence. AB - RESULTS: Although the mentors overestimated adherence, quality assurance analyst ratings found acceptable levels of adherence and competence, with no significant male-female differences in fidelity. Adherence and competence were marginally higher in sessions that required fewer direct couples' interventions. Parents reported satisfaction with the interventions and showed statistically significant improvement in the family dimensions of interest at 3-4 months posttreatment. AB - CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Findings support the wisdom of engaging men both as interventionists and as recipients of prenatal coparenting interventions-even in families where the parents are uncoupled and non-co-residential.

Exp. Med. CP - Japan AB - Prenatal glucocorticoid therapy is indicated in preterm delivery to prevent respiratory distress. This study was designed to evaluate the age-dependent effects of prenatal dexamethasone (DEX) therapy on the immune system using a rat model. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats received an intraperitoneal injection of DEX (0.1 mg/kg/day) or saline (VEH) over gestational days 14-20. Male offspring were sacrificed at postnatal day 7 (D7; infant stage), D120 (young adult stage), and D180 (adult stage) for evaluation of leukocyte subsets and isolation of splenocytes. The production of innate and adaptive immune cytokines was assessed from the culture supernatants of splenocytes, stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and concanavalin A, respectively. For innate cytokines, the levels of interferon gamma inducible protein 10 were significantly higher, but those of tumor necrosis factor-alpha were significantly lower, in the culture medium of splenocytes prepared from the DEX group at D120 than those in the VEH group. For adaptive cytokines, the levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) were significantly higher at D7 and those of IL-10 were significantly higher at D120 after prenatal exposure to DEX. We also showed that the expression level of IL-4 mRNA was significantly higher in splenocytes prepared from the DEX group at D7, compared with the VEH group. Importantly, the mRNA expression level of T-bet, a key transcription factor for immune cells, was greatly decreased in the spleen of the DEX group at D7, compared with the VEH group. In conclusion, prenatal dexamethasone exposure shows the greater impact on immune responses of their male offspring in early life.

Traditional maternal-child health promotion tends to focus exclusively on women, leaving men out of programs that can affect family health. Scholars advocate including men in prenatal health to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. This study explored the perceived role of men in prenatal health, the use of an e-health application, and participant-suggested ways of improving the application moving forward. This study interviewed men in a large Southwestern U.S. city with an average age of 26.0 years ( N = 23). The sample was 52% White, 26% Hispanic, 9% Asian, 9% multiracial or other, and 4% Black. Participants were asked about pregnancy health and used a pregnancy-related e-health application on a tablet computer. Participants provided opinions on content, ease of use of tablets, and recommendations for a stronger application. Despite perceived barriers such as time constraints, financial burdens, and an unclear role, men believe it is important to be involved in pregnancy health. Most found the application to contain useful and interesting information. Participants recommended the addition of videos and interactive modules to make the application stronger. This study explored the use of a targeted e-health application to introduce men to prenatal health education. Results indicate men feel favorable to this type of intervention. Additional refinement of the application could include interactive tools or "push content" to further engage men in this important topic.

We examined midwives' perception of the use of partner presence in the management of childbirth pain in Nigerian hospitals. AB - DESIGN: a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study. AB - SETTING: maternity units of four hospitals in Abuja, Nigeria, Jun.-Dec., 2014. AB - PARTICIPANTS: 100 midwives selected through convenience sampling. AB - MEASUREMENTS: data collected using the Abuja Instrument for Midwives (AIM) questionnaire underwent frequency, correlation, and content analysis. AB - FINDINGS: most midwives felt partner presence contributed to pain relief and were willing to allow partner presence as an intervention for childbirth pain. However, only every fourth midwife reported using partner presence as a pain management intervention. AB - KEY CONCLUSION: partner presence is perceived as contributing to pain relief and is a non-pharmacological technique reported to be utilised by midwives for pain management during childbirth. However, Nigeria suffers from poor utilisation of partner presence as a pain management intervention during childbirth. AB - IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: information from this study can improve midwifery practice and aid further research regarding midwives' attitudes, knowledge and usage of partner presence in pain management during childbirth.

Med. Internet Res. CP - Canada KW - home visitation; interpretive flexibility; intervention; intimate partner violence; mhealth; nurses; screening; technology AB - BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is common during pregnancy and the postpartum. Perinatal home visitation provides favorable conditions in which to identify and support women affected by IPV. However, the use of mHealth for delivering IPV interventions in perinatal home visiting has not been explored. AB - OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to conduct a nested qualitative interpretive study to explore perinatal home visitors' and women's perceptions and experiences of the Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visitation Program (DOVE) using mHealth technology (ie, a computer tablet) or a home visitor-administered, paper-based method. AB - METHODS: We used purposive sampling, using maximum variation, to select women enrolled in a US-based randomized controlled trial of the DOVE intervention for semistructured interviews. Selection criteria were discussed with the trial research team and 32 women were invited to participate. We invited 45 home visitors at the 8 study sites to participate in an interview, along with the 2 DOVE program designers. Nonparticipant observations of home visits with trial participants who chose not to participate in semistructured interviews were undertaken. AB - RESULTS: We conducted 51 interviews with 26 women, 23 home visiting staff at rural and urban sites, and the 2 DOVE program designers. We conducted 4 nonparticipant observations. Among 18 IPV-positive women, 7 used the computer tablet and 11 used the home visitor method. Among 8 IPV-negative women, 7 used the home visitor method. The computer tablet was viewed as a safe and confidential way for abused women to disclose their experiences without fear of being judged. The meanings that the DOVE technology held for home visitors and women led to its construction as either an impersonal artifact that was an impediment to discussion of IPV or a conduit through which interpersonal connection could be deepened, thereby facilitating discussion about IPV. Women's and home visitors' comfort with either method of screening was positively influenced by factors such as having established trust and rapport, as well as good interpersonal communication. The technology helped reduce the anticipated stigma associated with disclosing abuse. The didactic intervention video was a limiting feature, as the content could not be tailored to accommodate the fluidity of women's circumstances. AB - CONCLUSIONS: Users and developers of technology-based IPV interventions need to consider the context in which they are being embedded and the importance of the patient-provider relationship in promoting behavior change in order to realize the full benefits. An mHealth approach can and should be used as a tool for initiating discussion about IPV, assisting women in enhancing their safety and exploring help-seeking options. However, training for home visitors is required to ensure that a computer tablet is used to complement and enhance the therapeutic relationship.

This single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 126 spouses of pregnant women with gestational ages of 24-28 weeks. They were followed up until 6 weeks after childbirth. Using the block randomization method and stratified based on the number of children, the eligible samples were divided into two groups (one receiving two weekly group lifestyle-based training session (lasting 60-90 min) and a control group). Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were filled out by the participants before the intervention, 8 weeks after it, and 6 weeks after childbirth. The general linear model was used to analyze data. Out of 126 fathers, one individual from the intervention group left the study because he was not willing to cooperate. Compared with the control group, there was a significant decrease in depression (adjusted difference: -1.6; 95% CI -2.8 to -0.5), state anxiety (-5.7; -8.6 to -2.9) and trait anxiety (-5.0; -7.8 to -2.2) scores at 8 weeks after intervention as well as postnatal depression (-3.3; -5.0 to -1.5); postnatal state anxiety (-7.5; -11.6 to -3.4), and postnatal trait anxiety (-8.3; -12.2 to -4.4) in the intervention group. The research results indicated the positive impact of training on prenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety in fathers. Given the easy implementation of training interventions during pregnancy, it is suggested that such interventions be paid more attention.

In the first part of this paper we present a case study from our hospital clinical activity. Our framework combines clinical psychoanalytic sessions and perinatal videos. In the second part, we will focus on the concepts of instinct and excitation proposed by Sigmund Freud and the concept of mastery proposed by Anna Freud. In the third part, we will examine these concepts in the light of the case study. The fourth part is devoted to clinical recommendations from our hospital psychoanalytic practice. In conclusion, unlike other clinical settings, the psychoanalytic setting allows for the elaboration of the parental hatred included in the libidinal cathexis. Our psychoanalytic setting (sessions/videos) makes it possible to decontaminate parental intrapsychic elements overloaded with excitement, saturated with hate elements, and rendered sterile by the instinct for mastery. An initial part of the treatment process involves working through the intersubjective elements observed in the video. AB - Copyright © 2016 Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Several studies suggest that early life events can program physiological systems and lead to functional changes in adulthood. Therefore, we investigated behavioral and neuroendocrine responses under basal conditions and after 48 h of water deprivation in adult (60-day-old Wistar rats) male, Wistar rats originating from dams were offered only water or 0.15 mol/L NaCl during pregnancy and lactation. Early life salt exposure induced kidney damage, as shown by a higher number of ED-1 positive cells (macrophages/monocytes), increased daily urinary volume and Na⁺ excretion, blunted basal water intake and plasma oxytocin levels, and increased plasma corticosterone secretion. When challenged with water deprivation, animals exposed to 0.15 mol/L NaCl during early life showed impaired water intake, reduced salt preference ratio, and vasopressin (AVP) secretion. In summary, our data demonstrate that the perinatal exposure to excessive Na⁺ intake can induce kidney injury in adult offspring and significantly affect the key mechanisms regulating water balance, fluid intake, and AVP release in response to water deprivation. Collectively, these novel results highlight the impact of perinatal programming on the homeostatic mechanisms regulating fluid and electrolyte balance during exposure to an environmental stress (i.e. dehydration) in later life.

TI - Sociodemographic and delivery risk factors for developing postpartum depression in a sample of 3233 mothers from the Czech ELSPAC study. SO - BMC Psychiatry. 17(1):104, 2017 Mar 21 AS - BMC Psychiatry. 17(1):104, 2017 Mar 21 NJ - BMC psychiatry PI - Journal available in: Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 100968559 IO - BMC Psychiatry CP - England KW - ELSPAC; EPDS; Mood disorders; PPD; Postpartum blues; Postpartum depression; Risk factors AB - BACKGROUND: In the postpartum period, certain groups of women are at a higher risk for developing depressive episodes. Several studies have described risk factors for developing postpartum depression (PPD). However, these studies have used limited numbers of participants, and therefore the estimated prevalence of PPD varies greatly. AB - METHODS: The objective of this study is to identify the main risk factors for developing PPD by using data collected via the Czech version of the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ELSPAC). This database provides a representative sample (n = 7589) observed prospectively and a large amount of data on depressive symptoms and on biological, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen for incidence of PPD. The affective pathology was examined at three time points: before delivery, 6 weeks after delivery, and 6 months after delivery. AB - RESULTS: The prevalence of depressive symptoms before delivery was 12.8%, 6 weeks after delivery 11.8%, and 6 months after delivery 10.1%. The prevalence rates are based on women who completed questionnaires at all three time-points (N = 3233). At all three time points, the main risk factors for developing PPD identified as significant by both univariate and multivariate analysis were personal history of depressive episodes and mothers experiencing psychosocial stressors. Other risk factors occurring in both types of analysis were: family history of depression from expectant mother's paternal side (prenatal), mothers living without partners (6 weeks postpartum) and feelings of unhappiness about being pregnant (6 months postpartum). Several protective factors were also observed: male child gender (prenatal), primiparous mothers (6 months postpartum), and secondary education (prenatal, only by multivariate analysis). Significant risk factors found solely by univariate analysis were family history of depression in both parents of the expectant mother (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), family history of depression from subject's maternal side (6 months postpartum), unintentional pregnancy (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), feelings of unhappiness about being pregnant (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), primary education (prenatal and 6 weeks postpartum), mothers who opted not to breastfeed (6 months postpartum) and mothers living without partners (prenatal and 6 months postpartum). Family savings were identified as protective factor (prenatal and 6 months postpartum). AB - CONCLUSIONS: We identified significant predictors of PPD. These predictors can be easily detected in clinical practice, and systematic screening can lead to identifying potentially at risk mothers. Since the risk is linked with experience of psychosocial stressors it seems that they might benefit from increased psychosocial support to prevent affective pathology.

Few couple-focused prevention programs targeting this period have been shown to be effective. The purpose of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of a brief, universal, transition-to-parenthood intervention (Family Foundations) and report the results of this randomized trial at 10 months postpartum. This was a randomized controlled trial; 399 couples expecting their first child were randomly assigned to intervention or control conditions after pretest. Intervention couples received a manualized nine-session (five prenatal and four postnatal classes) psychoeducational program delivered in small groups. Intent-to-treat analyses indicated that intervention couples demonstrated better posttest levels than control couples on more than two thirds of measures of coparenting, parent mental health, parenting, child adjustment, and family violence. Program effects on family violence were particularly large. Of eight outcome variables that did not demonstrate main effects, seven showed moderated intervention impact; such that, intervention couples at higher levels of risk during pregnancy showed better outcomes than control couples at similar levels of risk. These findings replicate a prior smaller study of Family Foundations, indicating that the Family Foundations approach to supporting couples making the transition to parenthood can have broad impact for parents, family relationships, and children's adjustment. Program effects are consistent and benefit all families, with particularly notable effects for families at elevated prenatal risk.

Prenatal interventions targeting gestational weight gain among obese women have not demonstrated consistent benefits for infant growth trajectories. AB - METHODS: To better understand why such programs may not influence infant growth, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 mothers who participated in a prenatal nutrition intervention for women with BMI 30kg/m² or greater, and with 19 clinicians (13 pediatric, 6 obstetrical). Interviews were transcribed and coded with themes emerging inductively from the data, using a grounded theory approach. AB - RESULTS: Mothers were interviewed a mean of 18 months postpartum and reported successful postnatal maintenance of behaviors that were relevant to the family food environment (Theme 1). Ambivalence around the importance of postnatal behavior maintenance (Theme 2) and enhanced postnatal healthcare (Theme 3) emerged as explanations for the failure of prenatal interventions to influence child growth. Mothers acknowledged their importance as role models for their children's behavior, but they often believed that body habitus was beyond their control. Though mothers attributed prenatal behavior change, in part, to additional support during pregnancy, clinicians had hesitations about providing children of obese parents with additional services postnatally. Both mothers and clinicians perceived a lack of interest or concern about infant growth during pediatric visits (Theme 4). AB - CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal interventions may better influence childhood growth if paired with improved communication regarding long-term modifiable risks for children. The healthcare community should clarify a package of enhanced preventive services for children with increased risk of developing obesity.

Pol. CP - Poland KW - family-assisted childbirth; participation of father; preparation for childbirth AB - OBJECTIVES: The analysis of the forms of paternal activity depending on the manner of their preparation, including stages of labor. AB - MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective survey-based study involved 250 fathers who participated in their child's birth. The fathers included in the study were present during all stages of family-assisted natural labor. The study was conducted one day after childbirth with the use of a survey prepared by the authors. Statistical calculations were conducted using the Statistica PL software. The frequency of individual qualitative features (non-measurable) was assessed by means of a non-parametric chi2 (chi-squared) test. The statistical significance level was p < 0.05. AB - RESULTS: A half of the fathers included in the study (52.4%) participated in childbirth with no prior preparation. The dominant form of preparation involved self-education from books, magazines and the Internet (24%). 23.6% of fathers participated in ante-natal classes. The study demonstrated that fathers prepared for childbirth in ante-natal classes more often engaged in the supportive role, provided nursing care and carried out instrumental monitoring during each stage of childbirth. AB - CONCLUSIONS: The fathers prepared for childbirth in ante-natal classes more often engage in the supportive role, provide nursing care and carry out instrumental control during each stage of childbirth. Ante-natal classes should be promoted as an optimal form of preparation for active participation in childbirth. Moreover, other forms of paternal ante-natal education as well as continued education in a delivery room should be developed.

We investigated predictive factors for breast and non-breast pain 1 week post-birth in migrant and non-migrant women in Canada. Among migrant women, difficulty accessing health services; being from a middle-or high-income country; poor functionality in English and French; living with the father of their infant; and having no regular care provider were predictive of breast pain. Among non-migrant women, difficulties accessing health services, multiparity and prenatal education were predictive of breast pain, while receiving an epidural and having no regular care provider were predictive of non-breast pain. Among both groups, difficulties accessing health services and having no regular care provider were predictive of breast pain, while second degree or higher perineal tearing was predictive of non-breast pain. Migration-specific indicators should be considered in postpartum care planning.

AB - METHODS: This multiple-case ethnomethodological qualitative research study, included mothers admitted for a threatened premature delivery between 200/7 and 266/7 weeks gestation, the father, and the staff neonatologist conducting the clinical antenatal consultation. Content analysis of an audiotaped post-antenatal consultation interview with parents obtained their satisfaction scores as well as their comments on physician actions that facilitated their desired participation. AB - RESULTS: Five cases, each called a "system-infant at risk", included 10 parents and 6 neonatologists. From the interviews emerged a blueprint for action by physicians, including communication strategies that parents say facilitated their participation in decision making; such as building trustworthy physician-parent relationships, providing "balanced" information, offering choices, and allowing time to think. AB - CONCLUSION: Parent descriptions indicate that the opportunity to participate to their satisfaction in the clinical antenatal consultation depends on how the physician interacts with them. AB - PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The parent-identified communication strategies facilitate shared decision making regarding treatment in the best interest of the infant at risk to be born at the limit of viability.

AB - OBJECTIVES: to assess women needs, identify factors that influence the desired outcomes, and propose a framework for developing new perinatal education based on the guidance published by the UK Medical Research Council for the development and evaluation of complex interventions in primary care. AB - METHODS: For this study: (a) four focus group sessions were held from October to November 2010 in Bizkaia (Spain) with 30 women exploring their needs during pregnancy and postpartum; (b) two literature reviews were conducted on women's needs at these times and theoretical models of healthcare education; and (c) seven discussion and consensus sessions were run with a group of experts composed of midwifes, gynaecologists, paediatricians, and paediatric and postpartum nurses. AB - RESULTS: Various areas for improvement were identified: needs assessment of each woman/family, consideration of pregnancy and childbirth as normal physiological processes, participation of fathers, establishment of social networks, continuity of postpartum care, better access to and training for midwives, and more flexible format and contents for the programme. We propose a woman-focused framework that includes three exploratory interviews during pregnancy, personalized interventions coordinated between professionals, empowerment to choose the type of birth, and postpartum activities. AB - CONCLUSION: New perinatal education should be on-going and focused on each woman. It is necessary to assess the feasibility of implementing this type of programme, depending on the context, professionals' readiness for change and characteristics of the proposed interventions. Then, its effectiveness and sustainability must be assessed.

However, it still remains unclear what practical use women make of mindfulness during the postpartum period and the mechanisms through which it works. The subjective experience of mindfulness practice by mothers is not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to explore how women enrolled in a "Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting programme" experienced mindfulness practice during the postpartum period. AB - METHODS: Ten pregnant women over 18 years of age with singleton pregnancies, no diagnoses of mental illness and participation in a "Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting programme" were recruited to take part in a postpartum interview. Audio recordings of the interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically based on a phenomenological approach. The transcripts of nine interviews were submitted to a coding process consisting of the identification of words, sentences or paragraphs expressing common ideas. These ideas were classified in codes, each code representing a specific description, function or action (e.g. self-perception, personal organization, formal/informal meditation practice). Progressively, a framework of thematic ideas was extracted from the transcripts, allowing the interviews to be systematically organized and their content analysed in depth. AB - RESULTS: Five themes emerged from the descriptions of practices of mindfulness during the postpartum period: perception of the present moment, breathing, acceptance, self-compassion and the perception of mindfulness as a shelter. AB - CONCLUSION: Mindfulness practices during the postpartum period may contribute to a mother's psychological wellbeing. The perception of mindfulness as a shelter had not previously been reported. Future research could address whether this role is specific to the postpartum period.

The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of prenatal childbirth education among partners of pregnant women, particularly regarding paternal postnatal mental health and couple relationship. AB - METHODS: We searched Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ERIC, and CENTRAL using terms such as "partners of pregnant women," "education," and "prenatal support." Searches were limited to randomized trials. AB - RESULTS: We included 11 trials out of 13 reports that addressed the following topics: childbirth preparation, couple relationship, infants and parenting, postpartum psychosocial issues, and housework sharing. Overall risk of bias was low or unclear. Study outcomes, including parents' mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression, distress), couple relationship, parents' transition adjustment and parenting stress, and parents' satisfaction with their experience of childbirth and prenatal childbirth education programs were reported. AB - LIMITATIONS: The studies included in this review were very diverse regarding intervention intensity and content, outcome types, measurement tools, and outcome timing. This impeded evaluation of the interventions' effectiveness. AB - CONCLUSION: No sufficient evidence was identified that prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women protects against paternal postnatal depression and couple relationship; however, paternal postnatal mental health is important to maternal and perinatal healthcare. The results of this review suggest that further research and intervention are required to provide partners of pregnant women with evidence-based information and support whole families during the perinatal period.

SO - JAMA Pediatrics. 170(6):543-9, 2016 Jun 01 AS - Jama, Pediatr.. 170(6):543-9, 2016 Jun 01 NJ - JAMA pediatrics PI - Journal available in: Print PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101589544 IO - JAMA Pediatr SB - Core Clinical Journals (AIM) SB - Index Medicus CP - United States AB - IMPORTANCE: Research clearly indicates that current approaches to newborn blood spot screening (NBS) education are ineffective. Incorporating NBS education into prenatal care is broadly supported by lay and professional opinion. AB - OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and effect of prenatal education about newborn screening and use of residual dried blood spots (DBS) in research on parental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. AB - DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A randomized clinical trial of prenatal educational interventions, with outcomes measured by survey at 2 to 4 weeks postpartum. Participants were recruited from obstetric clinics in Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco, California; and the Bronx, New York. Eligible women were English- or Spanish-speaking adults and did not have a high-risk pregnancy. A total of 901 women were enrolled. Participants who completed the follow-up survey included 212 women in the usual care group (70% retention), 231 in the NBS group (77% retention), and 221 women in the NBS+DBS group (75% retention). Those who completed the survey were similar across the 3 groups with respect to age, ethnicity, race, education, marital status, income, obstetric history, and language. AB - INTERVENTIONS: Participants were randomized into 1 of 3 groups: usual care (n=305), those viewing an NBS movie and brochure (n=300), and those viewing both the NBS and DBS movies and brochures (n=296). AB - MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Two to four weeks postpartum, women completed a 91-item survey by telephone, addressing knowledge, attitudes, and behavior with respect to opting out of NBS or DBS for their child. AB - RESULTS: A total of 901 women (mean age, 31 years) were randomized and 664 completed the follow-up survey. The total correct responses on the knowledge instrument in regard to NBS were 69% in the usual care group, 79% in the NBS group, and 75% in the NBS+DBS group, a significant between-group difference (P<.05). Although all groups showed strong support for NBS, the percentage of women who were "very supportive" was highest in the NBS group (94%), followed by the NBS + DBS group (86%) and was lowest in the usual care group (73%) (P < .001). The interventions were not associated with decisions to decline newborn screening or withdraw residual DBS. Nine women stated that they had declined NBS (all the usual care group; P < .001). With respect to DBS, 5 participants indicated that they contacted the health department to have their child's sample withdrawn after testing: 3 in the NBS + DBS group and 2 in the usual care group (P = .25). AB - CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Educational interventions can be implemented in the prenatal clinic, using multimedia tools and electronic platforms. Prenatal education is effective in increasing postnatal knowledge and support for these programs. These results are relevant to other contexts in which residual clinical specimens and data are used for research purposes.

TI - Characteristics, Classification, and Prevention of Child Maltreatment Fatalities. SO - Military Medicine. 182(1):e1551-e1557, 2017 Jan AS - Mil Med. 182(1):e1551-e1557, 2017 Jan NJ - Military medicine PI - Journal available in: Print PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 2984771r, n1a IO - Mil Med CP - United States AB - BACKGROUND: Preventing child maltreatment fatalities is a critical goal of the U.S. society and the military services. Fatality review boards further this goal through the analysis of circumstances of child deaths, making recommendations for improvements in practices and policies, and promoting increased cooperation among the many systems that serve families. The purpose of this article is to review types of child maltreatment death, proposed classification models, risk and protective factors, and prevention strategies. AB - METHODS: This review is based on scientific and medical literature, national reports and surveys, and reports of fatality review boards. AB - FINDINGS: Children can be killed soon after birth or when older through a variety of circumstances, such as with the suicide of the perpetrator, or when the perpetrator kills the entire family. Death through child neglect may be the most difficult type of maltreatment death to identify as neglect can be a matter of opinion or societal convention. These deaths can occur as a result of infant abandonment, starvation, medical neglect, drowning, home fires, being left alone in cars, and firearms. Models of classification for child maltreatment deaths can permit definition and understanding of child fatalities by providing reference points that facilitate research and enhance clinical prediction. Two separate approaches have been proposed: the motives of the perpetrator and the circumstances of death of the child victim. The latter approach is broader and is founded on an ecological model focused on the nature and circumstances of death, child victim characteristics, perpetrator characteristics, family and environmental circumstances, and service provision and need. Many risk factors for maternal and paternal filicide have been found, but most often included are young maternal age, no prenatal care, low education level, mental health problems, family violence, and substance abuse. Many protective factors can be specified at the individual, family, and community level. Early interventions for children and families are facilitated by the increased awareness of service providers who understand the risk and protective factors for intentional and unintentional child death. AB - DISCUSSION/IMPACT/RECOMMENDATIONS: There is currently no roadmap for the prevention of child maltreatment death, but increased awareness and improved fatality review are essential to improving policies and practices. Prevention strategies include improving fatality review recommendations, using psychological autopsies, serious case reviews, and conducting research. We recommend a public health approach to prevention, which includes a high level of collaboration between agencies, particularly between the military and civilian. The adoption of a public health model can promote better prevention strategies at individual, family, community, and societal levels to address and improve practices, policies, and public attitudes and beliefs about child maltreatment. The process of making recommendations on the basis of fatality review is important in terms of whether they will be taken seriously. Recommendations that are too numerous, impractical, expensive, lack relevance, and are out of step with social norms are unlikely to be implemented. They can be helpful if they are limited, focused, lead to definitive action, and include ways of measuring compliance.

SO - BMC Health Services Research. 16(1):630, 2016 Nov 05 AS - BMC Health Serv Res. 16(1):630, 2016 Nov 05 NJ - BMC health services research PI - Journal available in: Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101088677 IO - BMC Health Serv Res CP - England KW - Antenatal care; Counselling; Intimate partner violence; Randomized controlled trial AB - BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during or before pregnancy is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Pregnancy-related complications or poor infant health outcomes can arise from direct trauma as well as physiological effects of stress, both of which impact maternal health and fetal growth and development. Antenatal care can be a key entry point within the health system for many women, particularly in low-resource settings. Interventions to identify violence during pregnancy and offer women support and counselling may reduce the occurrence of violence and mitigate its consequences. AB - METHODS: Following a formative research phase, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to test a nurse-led empowerment counselling intervention, originally developed for high-income settings and adapted for urban South Africa. The primary outcome is reduction of partner violence, and secondary outcomes include improvement in women's mental health, safety and self-efficacy. The study aims to recruit 504 pregnant women from three antenatal clinics in Johannesburg who will be randomized to the nurse-led empowerment arm (two 30-min counselling sessions) or enhanced control condition (a referral list) to determine whether participants in the intervention arm have better outcomes as compared to the those in the control arm. AB - DISCUSSION: This research will provide much needed evidence on whether a short counselling intervention delivered by nurses is efficacious and feasible in low resource settings that have high prevalence of IPV and HIV. AB - TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered in the South African Clinical Trials Registry (DOH-27-0414-4720) on 11 August 2014 and in the ISRCTN Registry ( ISRCTN35969343 ) on 23 May 2016).

AB - DESIGN: We conducted a qualitative study with 15 families from the Otago/Southland region of New Zealand. Semistructured interviews explored their choice to opt out of intramuscular vitamin K prophylaxis and thematic analysis was used to elucidate themes that captured important aspects of this parental decision-making process. AB - RESULTS: Parents opt out of intramuscular vitamin K for a variety of reasons. These were clustered into three main themes: parents' beliefs and values (philosophy and spirituality), concerns about their child's welfare (pain and potential side effects) and external influencing factors (family, friends, media and health professionals). As part of a wider family hesitancy towards medical intervention, the majority of parents also raised concerns regarding other perinatal or childhood interventions. AB - CONCLUSION: Many factors influence parental decision making and lead to a decision to opt out of newborn intramuscular vitamin K prophylaxis. Due to strong parallels with other common childhood interventions, these findings have relevance for vitamin K prophylaxis and for other healthcare interventions in childhood.

Clin. Exp. Res. SB - Index Medicus CP - England KW - Alcohol; Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; Prenatal Treatment; Teratogenicity AB - Alcohol is a well-established teratogen that can cause variable physical and behavioral effects on the fetus. The most severe condition in this spectrum of diseases is known as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The differences in maternal and fetal enzymes, in terms of abundance and efficiency, in addition to reduced elimination, allow for alcohol to have a prolonged effect on the fetus. This can act as a teratogen through numerous methods including reactive oxygen species (generated as by products of CYP2E1), decreased endogenous antioxidant levels, mitochondrial damage, lipid peroxidation, disrupted neuronal cell-cell adhesion, placental vasoconstriction, and inhibition of cofactors required for fetal growth and development. More recently, alcohol has also been shown to have epigenetic effects. Increased fetal exposure to alcohol and sustained alcohol intake during any trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of FAS. Other risk factors include genetic influences, maternal characteristics, for example, lower socioeconomic statuses and smoking, and paternal chronic alcohol use. The treatment options for FAS have recently started to be explored although none are currently approved clinically. These include prenatal antioxidant administration food supplements, folic acid, choline, neuroactive peptides, and neurotrophic growth factors. Tackling the wider impacts of FAS, such as comorbidities, and the family system have been shown to improve the quality of life of FAS patients. This review aimed to focus on the pathogenesis, especially mechanisms of alcohol teratogenicity, and risks of developing FAS. Recent developments in potential management strategies, including prenatal interventions, are discussed. AB - Copyright © 2016 by the Research Society on Alcoholism.

The Georgia Maternal and Infant Health Research Group (GMIHRG) was founded in 2010 to evaluate and address this paradox. Description In the several years since GMIHRG's inception, its graduate allied health student researchers and advisors have collaborated with community partners to complete several requisite research initiatives. Their initial work demonstrated that over half the Georgia areas outside metropolitan Atlanta lack adequate access to obstetric services, and their subsequent research evaluated the reasons for and the consequences of this maldistribution of obstetric providers. Assessment In order to translate their workforce and outcomes data for use in policymaking and programming, GMIHRG created reader-friendly reports for distribution to a wide variety of stakeholders and prepared concise, compelling presentations with targeted recommendations for change. This commitment to advocacy ultimately enabled them to: (a) inspire the Georgia Study Committees on Medicaid Reform and Medical Education, (b) influence Georgia General Assembly abortion bills, medical scholarship/loan legislation, and appropriations, and (c) motivate programming initiatives to improve midwifery education and perinatal regionalization in Georgia. Conclusion GMIHRG members have employed inventive research methods and maximized collaborative partnerships to enable their data on Georgia's maternal and infant outcomes and obstetric workforce to effectively inform state organizations and policymakers. With this unique approach, GMIHRG serves as a cost-efficient and valuable model for student engagement in the translation of research into advocacy efforts, policy change, and innovative programming.

CP - Denmark KW - Chinese children; clinical features; copy number variations; early-onset epileptic encephalopathies AB - Copy number variations (CNVs) play an important role in the genetic etiology of unknown cause early-onset epileptic encephalopathies (EOEEs), but the genomic CNVs analysis of Chinese EOEEs children was rare. Here, we identified CNVs by single nucleotide polymorphism array in 116 patients with different subtypes of EOEEs. Of 116 patients 17 (14.66%) carried 19 large CNVs. A total of 14 CNVs in 12 patients were further validated: four of the CNVs were classified as de novo, seven were maternal, and three were paternal. Follow-up of those 12 patients showed that 5 had been seizure-free for at least 9 months, 5 had seizures several times per month or per year, and 2 had seizures everyday. But eight patients have profound developmental delay. In this study, we found at least 3.4% of patients had pathogenic CNVs. For the patients, our study laid the foundation for prenatal interventions for their families. Further, we identified potential candidate gene involved in EOEEs. The association of CNVs and clinical features will contribute to the understanding of EOEEs. AB - Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

This study also examined if these relationships would be mediated by antenatal depressive symptoms. This study was a prospective cohort study that investigated effects between the third trimester of pregnancy and 1 month after childbirth. The Japanese version of the Index of Spouse Abuse (ISA), the Japanese version of the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS), and the Japanese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to measure IPV during pregnancy, bonding failure with infants, and depressive symptoms during pregnancy and the postnatal period respectively. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to find the associations between those four variables. The final path model of the SEM showed good fit with the data. IPV during pregnancy was associated with mother-to-infant bonding failure at 1 month postnatal, whereas IPV during pregnancy was not significantly associated with postnatal depressive symptoms at 1 month postnatal. In addition, this study demonstrated that the associations between IPV during pregnancy, mother-to-infant bonding failure, and postnatal depressive symptoms at 1 month postnatal were mediated by antenatal depressive symptoms. The results of this study indicated the need for interventions for IPV and psychological health care for abused pregnant women to prevent antenatal depressive symptoms in prenatal health settings. Those interventions by perinatal health professionals would help to prevent bonding failure with infants and postnatal depressive symptoms after childbirth.

AB - METHODS: Dataset from the Nigeria demographic and health survey, 2013, disaggregated by rural-urban residence were analyzed with appropriate adjustment for the cluster sampling design of the survey. Factors associated with home delivery were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis. AB - RESULTS: In rural and urban residence, the prevalence of home delivery were 78.3% and 38.1%, respectively ( p < 0.001). The lowest prevalence of home delivery occurred in the South-East region for rural residence (18.6%) and the South-West region for urban residence (17.9%). The North-West region had the highest prevalence of home delivery, 93.6% and 70.5% in rural and urban residence, respectively. Low maternal as well as paternal education, low antenatal attendance, being less wealthy, the practice of Islam, and living in the North-East, North-West and the South-South regions increased the likelihood of home delivery in both rural and urban residences. Whether in rural or urban residence, birth order of one decreased the likelihood of home delivery. In rural residence only, living in the North-Central region increased the chances of home delivery. In urban residence only, maternal age 36 years decreased the likelihood of home delivery, while 'Traditionalist/other' religion and maternal age < 20 years increased it. AB - CONCLUSION: The prevalence of home delivery was much higher in rural than urban Nigeria and the associated factors differ to varying degrees in the two residences. Future intervention efforts would need to prioritize findings in this study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate an educational intervention delivered to pregnant couples to improve their sexual function and satisfaction. This quasiexperimental study was conducted on 128 couples, allocated into two groups of intervention (group A: couples, group B: pregnant women) and one control group (C). Postintervention, the mean of the total score of sexual function and satisfaction of the couples was significantly higher in the intervention groups compared with the control group (p < 0.05). It seems sexuality education specific for prenatal care would be effective.

We hypothesized that administration of the synthetic glucocorticoid (sGC) betamethasone to pregnant baboons at doses and stages of fetal life equivalent to human obstetric practice to decrease premature offspring morbidity and mortality, programs lipid metabolism. In 10-year-old male baboons (human equivalent 40) exposed in fetal life to betamethasone or saline, we quantified pericardial fat and hepatic lipid content with magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. sGC offspring delivered at term as do most sGC-exposed human neonates. Pericardial fat thickness (7.7+/-3.6mm vs 3.1+/-1.1mm, M+/-s.d.; P=0.022; n=5) and hepatic fatty acids (13.3+/-11.0% vs 2.5+/-2.2%; P=0.046; n=5) increased following sGC without birth weight or current body morphometric differences. Our results indicate that antenatal sGC therapy caused abnormal fat deposition and adult body composition in mid-life primate offspring. The concern raised is that this degree of pericardial and hepatic lipid accumulation can lead to harmful local lipotoxicity. In summary, developmental programing by sGC produces a mid-life metabolically obese but normal weight phenotype. Prior studies show sexually dimorphic responses to some programming challenges thus female studies are necessary.International Journal of Obesity advance online publication, 18 April 2017; doi:10.1038/ijo.2017.82.

However, fathers are often distracted from preparing themselves by the attention given to preparing and supporting mothers. Developments in digital communication present alternative means of supporting fathers at this time. Studies, across a range of health concerns, have reported successful outcomes from text-based interventions. Text messaging, focusing on the issues that cause paternal distress at this time, could provide timely, targeted, and effective support to fathers in their transition to parenthood. This study aimed to develop a corpus of messages that could be sent to new fathers during pregnancy and in the months after birth. Messages were intended to support new dads in caring for their own physical and mental health, nurturing strong relationships with their child, and developing strong parenting partnerships. The process employed in message development was similar to that previously employed in developing messages for people who had experienced a cardiac event. A corpus of messages and linked information focusing on fathers' relationships with their children, partners, and themselves were initially developed by a core group. The corpus was then culled, refined, and expanded by a larger, more diverse, group of experts ( n=46), including parents, academics, and practitioners. The iterative, consultative process used in this study proved to be a functional way of developing and refining a large corpus of timed messages, and linked information, which could be sent to new fathers during their transition to fatherhood.

TI - A Prenatal Coparenting Intervention With Unmarried Father-Mother Dyads: Fidelity of Intervention Delivery by Male-Female Community Mentor Teams. SO - Journal of Nursing Research. , 2016 Jul 06 AS - J Nurs Res. , 2016 Jul 06 NJ - The journal of nursing research : JNR PI - Journal available in: Print-Electronic PI - Citation processed from: Internet JC - 101128757 IO - J Nurs Res CP - China (Republic : 1949- ) AB - BACKGROUND: Most prenatal preventive interventions for unmarried mothers do not integrate fathers or help the parents plan for the development of a functional coparenting alliance after the baby's arrival. Furthermore, properly trained professionals have only rarely examined the fidelity of these interventions. AB - PURPOSE: This report examines whether experienced community interventionists (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood service personnel) with no formal couples' therapy training are capable of pairing together to deliver with adequate fidelity a manualized dyadic intervention designed for expectant unmarried mothers and fathers. AB - METHODS: Three male and four female mentors (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood personnel) working in paired male-female co-mentor teams delivered a seven-session "Figuring It Out for the Child" curriculum (six prenatal sessions, one booster) to 14 multirisk, unmarried African American families (parent age ranging from 14 to 40). Parental well-being and views of fatherhood were assessed before the intervention and again 3 months after the baby's birth. Quality assurance analysts evaluated mentor fidelity (adherence to the curriculum, competence in engaging couples with specified curricular content) through a review of the transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Mentors also rated their own adherence. AB - RESULTS: Although the mentors overestimated adherence, quality assurance analyst ratings found acceptable levels of adherence and competence, with no significant male-female differences in fidelity. Adherence and competence were marginally higher in sessions that required fewer direct couples' interventions. Parents reported satisfaction with the interventions and showed statistically significant improvement in the family dimensions of interest at 3-4 months posttreatment. AB - CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Findings support the wisdom of engaging men both as interventionists and as recipients of prenatal coparenting interventions-even in families where the parents are uncoupled and non-co-residential.

MBCP is a formal adaptation of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program and was developed and refined over the course of 11 years of clinical practice with 59 groups of expectant couples. MBCP is designed to promote family health and well-being through the practice of mindfulness during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting. Quantitative results from the current study include statistically significant increases in mindfulness and positive affect, and decreases in pregnancy anxiety, depression, and negative affect from pre- to post-test (p < .05). Effect sizes for changes in key hypothesized intervention mediators were large (d > .70), suggesting that MBCP is achieving its intended effects on maternal well-being during pregnancy. Qualitative reports from participants expand upon the quantitative findings, with the majority of participants reporting perceived benefits of using mindfulness practices during the perinatal period and early parenting. Our future research will involve conducting a randomized controlled trial of MBCP to test effects on psychophysiological stress mechanisms and to examine effects on birth outcomes, family relationship quality, and child development outcomes.
