BACKGROUND: Pregnancy is the most important event in women's lives and can lead to psychological lability. Several risk factors (such as disasters, events and pandemics) have been correlated with greater prevalence of mental disorders during pregnancy. OBJECTIVES: To research how pregnant women have been affected by the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic process, in order to contribute to the limited literature. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional survey study conducted at the Training and
Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 , emerged as a severe respiratory system disease in Wuhan city of China in December 2019 and suddenly spread through the world, so called a pandemic by World Health Organisation. The rapid transmission of Covid-19 pandemic increased the workload of healthcare staff. Additionally to workload, unknowns of the disease like treatment strategies, tips of protection methods have increased the distress of healthcare workers and have the risk to detoriate the mental status. All that psychological and physical stress factors alter the anxiety level, sleep quality and mood of the healthcare workers.Material and methods: In the study, a survey composed of sociodemographic features, Beck Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Scale, Beck Hopelessness Scale and Epworth Sleepiness Scale of participants were used as data collection tool. The internet survey is hold on from 18th April to 2nd May 2020 and completed survey count arrived to number 122.Results: According to results, 20.5% moderate and 8.2% of the physicians have shown severe depression signs. When anxiety levels were examined 83.7% of the physicians have displayed mild signs, 9.8% moderate and 6.5% have displayed severe anxiety signs. When hopelessness of the physicians were investigated, 29.5% of them have moderate and 8.2% have severe hopelessness signs. According to sleepiness situations, 20.5% of them have shown severe sleepiness signs.
Conclusion:As anxiety levels of obstetricians and gynecologists have increased at pandemic period, depression levels have increased strongly; hopes of physicians have decreased and slept off.
still carried out (13). However, despite all these advancements, different clinical results may be achieved even in clinics implementing the same implant (6). These different clinic results give rise to the notion that there may be other factors affecting the clinic results in addition to the surgical technique and mechanic factors (6,7,10). As in all the other diseases, one of the criteria used in order to evaluate the treatment results for osteoarthritis is the change achieved in the quality of life. To determine that change, general or specific scales of quality of life can be utilized (7, 10). General quality of life scales are capable of determining the treatmentrelated adverse effects and complications that are not directly related to the disease. Especially in the patients with osteoarthritis, due to the accompanying diseases,
Objective: To reveal the effect of the delivery mode (vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery) and the number of children on sexual function. Methods: Eightywomen who applied to our clinic for routine gynecological control between July 2017 and January 2018 were included in the study. Age of women's, parity, demographic analysis andArizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) were done. The patients were divided into four groups: group I only had one vaginal delivery, group II only one cesarean delivery, group III two/three vaginal deliveries, group IV two/three cesarean deliveries. Results: We found significantly lower ASEX scores in the cesarean delivery andone child group (p=0,000). When the groups were examined; ASEX scores were respectively; I 14,45-II 11,65-III 17,35-IV 14,15 (p=0,000). Finally vaginal delivery and having more than one child has created a tendency to have female sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: Even though we found in our study there is no clear evidence in the literature that cesarean delivery might be protective for the development of female sexual dysfunction. There is need of randomized, well-controlled, long-term studies. Sexual dysfunction is a relatively common health problem and efforts to recognize and treat this problem should not focus only on delivery mode.
