Abstract

Stress during pregnancy is a significant concern as it can negatively impact both maternal and fetal health, increasing the risk of complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and developmental issues. Prenatal yoga has been suggested as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce stress, yet research on its comprehensive benefits remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of prenatal yoga in reducing stress levels among pregnant women and to explore its secondary benefits, including improved sleep quality, mood enhancement, and reduced pregnancy complications. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a sample of pregnant women divided into an intervention group (prenatal yoga participants) and a control group (non-participants). The intervention group participated in structured prenatal yoga sessions three times per week for eight weeks. Stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) before and after the intervention. Secondary outcomes such as sleep quality, mood stability, and pregnancy-related complications were also assessed through self-reports and medical evaluations. The findings indicate a significant reduction in stress levels among the prenatal yoga group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Participants also reported improved sleep quality, better emotional regulation, and a lower incidence of pregnancy-related complications. These results suggest that prenatal yoga is an effective and holistic approach to stress management during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is a safe, accessible, and beneficial practice for reducing stress in pregnant women. Given its positive impact on maternal well-being, healthcare providers should consider incorporating prenatal yoga into standard prenatal care programs. Future research with larger sample sizes and objective stress markers is recommended to further validate these findings.

Abstract

Preeclampsia remains one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. While its exact etiology is multifactorial, recent studies have pointed to early gestational weight gain as a potential predictor. This study aims to analyze the effect of weight gain in the first and second trimesters on the risk of preeclampsia in the third trimester. A quantitative observational study was conducted using a retrospective cohort design. Medical records of pregnant women meeting the inclusion criteria were reviewed, focusing on weight gain data in the first and second trimesters, and the occurrence of preeclampsia in the third trimester. Statistical analysis was employed to determine the correlation and threshold levels associated with increased risk. The findings indicate a significant association between excessive weight gain during the first and second trimesters and the incidence of preeclampsia in the third trimester. Women who gained more than 5 kg in the first trimester or exceeded 0.5–0.6 kg per week in the second trimester showed a notably higher risk. The pattern suggests that early metabolic and vascular changes may be triggered by rapid weight gain, contributing to the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Weight gain during early pregnancy, especially when exceeding recommended guidelines, is a critical risk factor for preeclampsia. Monitoring trimester-specific weight gain should be integrated into routine antenatal care to allow early identification and prevention strategies. Public health interventions focusing on maternal nutrition and education can further support the reduction of preeclampsia incidence.

Abstract

Folic acid plays a crucial role in fetal development, particularly in the formation of the neural tube during early pregnancy. Deficiency of this essential B-vitamin has been strongly associated with serious birth defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Despite widespread recommendations, gaps in awareness and access to supplementation remain in many regions. This study aims to examine the effect of folic acid supplementation on fetal development outcomes, with a focus on the prevention of neural tube defects and other related birth outcomes such as birth weight and gestational age. A quantitative comparative study was conducted involving 300 pregnant women, divided into two groups: those who regularly consumed folic acid supplements (400 mcg daily) and those who did not or took them irregularly. Data were collected through medical records and structured interviews, and analyzed using statistical methods to identify significant differences in fetal development outcomes between the two groups.The study found that folic acid supplementation was significantly associated with a reduction in neural tube defects, with no cases recorded in the supplemented group compared to 2.5% in the non-supplemented group. Supplementation was also linked to higher average birth weight, longer gestational age, and better Apgar scores. These outcomes remained significant even after adjusting for confounding factors. Folic acid supplementation, particularly when initiated before conception and continued through the first trimester, plays a vital role in preventing neural tube defects and supporting overall fetal health. These findings highlight the importance of early education, routine supplementation, and supportive public health policies to ensure that all women of reproductive age have access to this critical nutrient.

Abstract

This research investigates the application of reminiscence therapy (RT) to improve the emotional well-being and social engagement of elderly individuals with dementia. RT, a non-pharmacological intervention that involves recalling personal memories, is recognized for its potential to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, while enhancing social interaction and overall quality of life. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments of mood and anxiety levels with qualitative observations of participant engagement during RT sessions. The results revealed significant reductions in depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as increased social interaction and communication among participants. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of cultural relevance and individualized approaches in the implementation of RT, particularly considering the variability in response based on the stage of dementia. Despite the positive outcomes, several practical challenges were identified, including resource limitations, the need for trained facilitators, and the emotional sensitivity required in managing distressing memories. The findings suggest that RT is an effective and promising intervention for dementia care, though its success relies on careful tailoring to individual needs and the availability of adequate resources and support. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of RT and calls for further exploration of its long-term effects, as well as strategies to overcome implementation barriers in diverse care settings.

Abstract

Premature birth remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that maternal sleep patterns during pregnancy may influence gestational outcomes, yet this area remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between variations in sleep patterns among pregnant women and the risk of premature birth. A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 215 pregnant women in their second trimester. Sleep data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), daily sleep diaries, and wrist actigraphy over a two-week period. Participants were followed until delivery, and gestational age at birth was recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between sleep parameters and premature birth, controlling for maternal age, BMI, parity, stress levels, and socioeconomic status. The findings revealed that women with poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5), sleep durations under 6 hours per night, and irregular sleep-wake cycles were significantly more likely to experience preterm birth (p < 0.01). Irregular sleep timing was associated with a 2.3-fold increase in preterm delivery risk. Sleep-disordered breathing symptoms and frequent nighttime awakenings were also more prevalent in the preterm birth group. This study supports the growing evidence that poor and irregular maternal sleep is a significant risk factor for premature birth. These results underscore the need to integrate sleep screening and interventions into routine prenatal care as a preventive strategy to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of antenatal education on mothers’ readiness to face childbirth, focusing on its impact on physical, emotional, and psychological preparedness. The study explores how structured antenatal education programs can improve maternal knowledge, reduce anxiety, increase self-confidence, and contribute to a more positive birth experience. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with expectant mothers who participated in antenatal education classes, and the findings were analyzed to assess the effects of education on maternal preparedness for labor and delivery. The results indicate that antenatal education significantly enhances mothers' readiness by providing them with essential information about the childbirth process, coping strategies, and self-care techniques. Furthermore, participants in the education program reported lower levels of anxiety and greater satisfaction with their birth experience. The study also highlights the challenges related to access to antenatal education, particularly in rural and underserved areas, and emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive and accessible programs. These findings suggest that improving access to antenatal education can empower mothers, reduce maternal and neonatal complications, and improve overall maternal health outcomes. The research provides valuable insights for healthcare providers and policymakers, offering recommendations for enhancing antenatal education programs to better support expectant mothers.
