摘要:

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the influence of the new and full moon on onset of labor and spontaneous rupture of membranes. Admissions during the year 1984 to the labor and delivery unit of a large urban hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, in spontaneous labor or with rupture of the membranes, comprised the sample population (N= 1999). Barometric pressure for each day of 1984 and the days of the full and new moon were also recorded. Frequencies for onset of labor and spontaneous rupture of membranes at the full and new moon were compared with days controlled for barometric pressure. Contingency analysis by chi‐square was used. Results show a positive significant correlation of the onset of labor to the full moon when barometric pressure is not controlled. Frequencies of onset of labor and spontaneous rupture of membranes show positive nonsignificant correlation when barometric pressure is controlled. Results indicate a compounding, if not primary, influence by barometric pressure to that of the full and/or new moo

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to identify postpartum concerns of breastfeeding mothers from hospital discharge through the first month postpartum. The sample (N= 32) consisted of first time breastfeeding mothers with uncomplicated vaginal deliveries who planned to breastfeed for at least one month. Subjects were telephoned daily for the first two weeks and twice a week for the third and fourth weeks post‐hospital discharge. During the study period, 97% of the mothers reported concerns regarding their infant (210 total concerns), 81% reported concerns about themselves (237 total concerns), and only 19% reported concerns about interactions with family or friends (15 total concerns

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe minor discomforts of pregnancy present difficulties for the health care provider as well as for the pregnant woman herself. Management of the various symptoms requires astute observations and the ability to individualize therapy. Knowledge of a variety of treatment options, therefore, allows practitioners to collaborate with their patients in selecting the best therapeutic approach for the specific situation.This three part series reviews the common discomforts associated with upper respiratory infections, minor pain, and gastrointestinal problems as they are manifested during pregnancy. Both nonpharmaceutical and pharmaceutical therapies are discussed. Frequent references are made to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Risk Factors which categorize both over‐the‐counter and prescribed drugs according to their documented safety for ingestion during pregnancy.Part I, “Managing Upper Respiratory Infections in Pregnancy”, appeared in JNM 32:6; Part II, “Managing Minor Pain in Pregnancy”, appeared in JNM 33:1; and Part III, “Managing Gastrointestinal Problems in Pregnancy”, appear

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe effect of the use of a breast shell in the treatment of postpartum nipple pain was compared with no treatment in a convenience sample of 20 breastfeeding women. The women served as their own controls by wearing the breast shell over one breast for four days. Pain in both nipples was evaluated daily using the verbal descriptor scale from the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Comparison of mean ranks of pain intensity with the Wilcoxon test demonstrated no significant difference between treatment and control data. However, 80% of the subjects reported they would use the breast shell again. Distinct patterns of postpartum nipple pain were delineated. These patterns of nipple pain are significant both in the clinical counseling of breastfeeding women and in the design of future studies.
