Background: Currently, there is no up-to-date survey on actual menstruation, including recent changes in the amount of menstrual blood loss in women as the age of the first menstruation decreases in Japan. Also, few study has examined whether temperature in clothing reflecting with basal body temperature and other factors are related to menstruation-associated symptoms. Purpose: The study aimed to determine the actual menstruation, the change in the number of sanitary napkins and menstrual distress during one menstrual cycle, and the predictive factors of menstrual distress. Methods: The samples were eight university students over the age of 20. This study was conducted from the end of June to the end of September 2020. They were asked to undertake the following: menstrual cycle, length of menstruation; the amount of menstrual blood loss; changing sanitary napkins; the Japanese version of the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (J-MDQ). The J-MDQ consists of 47 questions answered on a scale of 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating more severe menstruation-related symptoms, within a week before, during and a week after menstruation. Multiple liner regression and Friedman test were conducted as statistical analysis. Results: The volume of menstrual blood loss increased drastically on the second day of the menstruation, and rapidly decreased from the third day. Napkin changing was also most frequent on the second day, however there is no correlation between the volume of menstrual blood and the number of times changing sanitary napkins after the second day of menstruation. The total J-MDQ during menstruation was significantly higher than pre and after menstruation (P<0.05). The duration of blood flow were associated with J-MDQ. Conclusions: Appropriate changing sanitary napkins needs to be recommended to improve for vulvar hygiene. The menstrual distress was highest during menstruation.

Background: Data related to stunting rates known by country include Thailand (10.5%), Sri Lanka (27.3%), Maldives (20.3%), North Korea (27.9%), Myanmar (29.2%). ), Bhutan (33.6%), Nepal (35.8%), Bangladesh (36.1%), Timor Leste (50.2%), India (38.4%), and Indonesia (36.4% ). Referring to the results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) conducted every 5 years, it is known that the percentage of stunting in Indonesia has decreased from 37.2% in 2013 to 30.8% in 2018. Growth and development are closely related to stunting are considered an important indicator of inequality in child health. This can be caused by several factors, both before and after giving birth in the developmental phase, including poor nutrition, household environment, and parents' education and economy. Research Objectives: This study aims to systematically map the research carried out in this field and identify factors that influence stunting growth and development. Methods: The method used is Prism Flowchart (Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic review and Meta-Analyses). It is used to describe the flow of the literature search. Article searches were conducted using 3 databases (PubMed, Wiley, and ProQuest). The inclusion criteria for articles are articles published in 2015-2020, in English and discuss the Factors Affecting the Growth and Development of Children with Stunting. The article search flow is described using the PRISMA Flowchart, while the article quality assessment is carried out using Hawker and CASP. The next stage is the preparation of data and reporting of results. Result: Based on the critical appraisal results from 12 articles that have been selected through the cross-sectional method, 11 articles were obtained (A1, A2 A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A10, A11, A12) and 1 study cohort article (A9). Based on the quality of the articles that have undergone critical appraisal, it was found that several articles obtained grade B (A1, A2, A3, A4, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12) and 1 article received grade D (A5). Conclusion: The findings from this scoping review are that the child's gender, child's age, mother's age, mother's education, mother's occupation, wealth, economy, nutritional status before and after giving birth, clean water sanitation, latrine management, hygiene, and environmental factors, have an effect on stunting which may hinder the growth and development of children in the future.

Background: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is one of the most common pelvic pains during pregnancy. PGP often occurs in pregnant women with an incidence of around 25?. Several methods have been developed to relax muscles or ligaments that can alleviate pelvic pain. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of exercise for pain relief in yoga in reducing pelvic girdle pain during the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This was a non-randomized controlled experimental study of 50 pregnant women in the third trimester with pelvic pain. The study was conducted in an antenatal clinic that provides prenatal yoga class. The treatment group (25 pregnant women) was given prenatal yoga for 2 weeks and the control group was provided with regular prenatal care. The level of pain was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) with score from 0 to 10 before and after 2 week-prenatal yoga was given. Results: The level of pelvic pain was lower in the treatment group that was given prenatal yoga for pain relief. The mean value of pelvic pain before intervention was 4.36 and after intervention was 2.08. The two groups had different scores for pelvic pain (p value =0.000 and mean difference -2.28). There was a significant effect of prenatal yoga for pelvic pain relief on the intervention group. The mean difference was -2.130 (95%CIs=-2.583, -1.657), p value was 0.000. Conclusion: Exercise for pain relief in yoga was effective in reducing pelvic girdle pain during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Women, Midwives and Midwifery Vol. 2 No. 1 (2022): Women, Midwives and Midwifery journal
Publisher : Asosiasi Pendidikan Kebidanan Indonesia (AIPKIND)

Background: In Kenya, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been used in almost every culture to manage intolerable symptoms of pregnancy since ancient times. However, studies in Kenya have focused on herbal medicine which is just one of CAM practices. In rural settings (such Tongaren Sub-County), no studies have ever evaluated the prevalence and determinants of CAM use during pregnancy including the common CAM modalities used, and so there is need to bridge these knowledge gaps. Purpose: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of CAM utilization and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics in Tongaren Sub-County, Bungoma County. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was employed in collecting data from 340 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Tongaren, Kenya. Quantitative data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires. Chi-square test was used to establish the associations between socio-demographic variables and CAM usage, and multiple logistic regressions were used to examine the relative effects of the various aspects of the variables which were significantly associated with CAM usage. Results: Among the 340 participants, 50.7% indicated using CAM modalities during pregnancy, indicating that CAM use prevalence in Tongaren is about 50%. 55.80% of CAM users concomitantly use CAM and conventional medicine. The high CAM use prevalence among participants was motivated by the preference of CAM over conventional medicine for certain illnesses (31.4%) and the perceived lack of response to conventional medicine (20.1%). It was noted that marital status, educational attainment of the spouse, employment status, occupation type, and household monthly income level are the major determinants of CAM usage. From the logistic regression analysis, the variables positively associated with CAM use among pregnant women were married status (Odds ratio (OR) = 2.341, p = 0.008), having a spouse with informal education (OR = 5.371, p < 0.001), self-employed status (OR = 0.415, p = 0.028), farming occupation (OR = 2.777, p = 0.206), and household monthly income higher than 35,000 Kshs (OR = 0.093, p = 0.012). Conclusions: Due to the widespread trust in the safety and efficacy of CAM, the utilization of CAM during pregnancy is common among women in Tongaren Sub-County, which is a rural setting, and therefore CAM can be regarded as the backbone of rural health care in Kenya.

Methods: The method used in the scoping review consists of five stages, including identification of Scoping Review questions, identification of relevant studies, study selection, mapping of data to be compiled, summarized, and reported on the results. PEOs are a tool that can be used to assist health workers in searching the literature. Use, relevant databases are used, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct. Results: A total of 71 articles were found on a search in the database. After screening titles and abstract references, 4 articles were found that had grades A and B. Interprofessional collaboration was found to be able to work well together in 2020 where this year was the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In this case, the handling of stunting by the collaboration of the role of health workers is very necessary. For this reason, health workers carry out good management to reduce the risk of stunting, one of which is by providing health education and social assistance. Conclusion: Collaboration was found to be successful in increasing the knowledge of health workers between professions. Given the differences between theory and perceptions about communication and collaboration, Interprofessional collaboration, in this case, is a collaboration between Doctors, Nurses, Midwives, and Nutritionists in dealing with stunting through counseling according to their respective roles.

ABSTRACT Background: Menstrual cups are a safe and economical alternative to sanitary pads or tampons that also hold equal or smaller quantities of menstrual blood. However, menstrual cups are seldom used by Japanese women. Some Japanese women have recently described on their blogs their experiences of using imported menstrual cups. Purpose: The purpose of this study is clarify the changes in menstrual symptoms associated with the use of menstrual cups and to explore the availability of menstrual cups among Japanese women. Methods: A mixed method design of both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. Participants were 22 healthy Japanese midwives with no organic diseases of the uterus or experience of using menstrual cups. The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) was administered before and after intervention with use of menstrual cups, and the presence of any changes in the MDQ score was investigated. Participants used menstrual cups during three menstrual cycles, and recorded the ease of use, degree of comfort, and the presence or absence of pain and problems. Results: The scores of the MDQ completed by 22 Japanese midwives were compared and no significant difference between the two was found, suggesting that the use of a menstrual cup would not have a deteriorating effect on menstrual symptoms. Sixty percent of the feedback from participants who used menstrual cups for the first time was negative, such as Discomfort when using menstrual cup and worry also discomfort regarding hygienic handing of cup. However, over 70% mentioned the physical advantages of menstrual cups over conventional sanitary products such as Reduction in menstruation-related discomfort and Ease of dealing with menstruation. Conclusion: Our study findings suggested that reducing psychological hesitation and decreasing negative impressions, such as anxiety about using it for the first time, are important to promote wider use of menstrual cups by Japanese women.

Background: Research into menstrual hygiene management (MHM) has been mainly based on menstruation-related knowledge and practices of women and girls in the mainstream Bangladeshi society; socially disadvantaged groups, such as the Bihari refugee women, have largely been ignored. Purpose: This study aims to assess knowledge and practices about MHM among Bihari women in the Mohammadpur Geneva Camp in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: In 2017, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among Bihari women and girls by the trained interviewers using a structured questionnaire. The purposive sampling was applied to select 160 Bihari women aged between 15 and 49. Data were entered, cleaned, and analysed using SPSS software. Both univariate and bivariate analyses were undertaken to examine knowledge and MHM-related practices with a significance level of p<0.01. Results: Overall, most women (59.4%) had low knowledge about menstruation. More than one-quarter (27.0%) used disposable sanitary napkins. The Bihari women who did not use sanitary pads (73%) reported that they used old disposable clothes (59.83%), reusable cloths (25.64%), cotton (9.40%), or toilet tissue paper (4.27%). Around two-thirds of the women (68.0%) performed special baths and 36.9% followed socio-cultural taboos during menstruation. The bivariate analyses revealed that higher menstruation knowledge was associated with higher use of disposable sanitary napkins (low knowledge: 18.9%, high knowledge: 38.5%; p<0.01). Conclusions: The findings suggest that it is imperative for Bihari women to have adequate and appropriate menstruation knowledge so that they can maintain good menstrual hygiene practices. The findings highlight challenges experienced by the refugee women in maintaining MHM and can be used to improve women’s reproductive health and well-being and reduce the risk of reproductive tract infections (RTI) among socially disadvantaged women.
