Cohesion: A Core Outcome Set For The Treatment Of Neonatal Encephalopathy, Fiona A. Quirke, Shabina Ariff, Malcolm R. Battin, Caitlin Bernard, Linda Biesty, Frank H. Bloomfield, Mandy Daly, Elaine Finucane, Maira Niaz, Farhana Tabassum
Department of Paediatrics and Child Health
Background: Heterogeneity in outcomes reported in trials of interventions for the treatment of neonatal encephalopathy (NE) makes evaluating the effectiveness of treatments difficult. Developing a core outcome set for NE treatment would enable researchers to measure and report the same outcomes in future trials. This would minimise waste, ensure relevant outcomes are measured and enable evidence synthesis. Therefore, we aimed to develop a core outcome set for treating NE.
Methods: Outcomes identified from a systematic review of the literature and interviews with parents were prioritised by stakeholders (n = 99 parents/caregivers, n = 101 healthcare providers, and n = 22 …

Hip Healthy Swaddling: A Commentary, Mehreen Aslam
Hip Healthy Swaddling: A Commentary, Mehreen Aslam
Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM)
Swaddling, the practice of covering babies to align the legs, prevent hip movement, carries a risk of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH).Correct swaddling techniques, emphasizing hip flexibility, mitigate risks and are promoted globally. Cultural shifts, as seen in Turkey and Japan, reflect awareness of swaddling's impact on hip health. In certain cultures, 90% of mothers swaddle infants for comfort, predominantly to keep legs straight, but traditional swaddling contributes to hip dysplasia risk, contrasting with the recommended technique allowing free limb movement. Proper education on swaddling is crucial, aligning with health benefits and reducing DDH occurrences. Recommendations include routine hip …

Factors Associated With Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder In Women: A Review Article, Kiran Karim Jivani, Tazeen S. Ali, Arusa Lakhani, Fauzia Basaria Hasnani
Factors Associated With Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder In Women: A Review Article, Kiran Karim Jivani, Tazeen S. Ali, Arusa Lakhani, Fauzia Basaria Hasnani
Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM)
Globally, the sexual responses of genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder-affected women is poorly understood. This deficit is due, in part, to these women being prone to incorrect pathologic rankings in intercourse-related questionnaires, thereby lowering the dependability of results. Although patients with genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder display sexual intent, they typically avoid sexual circumstances in which penetration is involved. Gynaecological examinations are also frequently avoided, despite medical advice. The factors linked to genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder identified in this review are; age, educational status, financial status, different relationship patterns, negative cognition, decreased sexual desire, no use of artificial lubricants, insufficient sexual arousal, history of sexual …

Swaddling A Newborn Promotes Sleep And Keeps The Baby Calm: A Truth Or A Myth?, Ateefa Al-Noor, Anshara Merchant
Swaddling A Newborn Promotes Sleep And Keeps The Baby Calm: A Truth Or A Myth?, Ateefa Al-Noor, Anshara Merchant
Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM)
Swaddling is a traditional way of wrapping the baby in a cloth that helps them to remain calm and eliminate anxiety. It promotes sleep but at the same time can also be associated with certain risks such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Swaddling can be beneficial but measures are required to minimize known risks. Swaddling can be favorable in the initial few weeks but it should be discontinued once the baby starts to roll from its back. The aim of this paper is to educate families regarding the proper technique of swaddling; its pros and cons. Further research is …

Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM)
Barriers and facilitators for quality midwifery care exist on different levels in the health systems. After decades of challenges and varied degrees of success, a stakeholder leader-to-leader collaboration could provide added value through knowledge sharing on how to integrate the midwifery cadre into an existing health system. Initiated by The Midwifery Society of Nepal, Dalarna University Sweden and MAMTA - Health Institute for Mother and Child India, a research network focusing midwifery has been formed. The background, purpose and activities of this network has been described in this News and Events paper.

Perception Of Students As Partners In Learning Among Students And Faculty Members Of Sonam Karachi, Pakistan, Anum Shiraz Gujrati
Theses & Dissertations
