“…Another two studies (Solt Kırca & Kanza Gul, 2022;Tas ¸kın & Ergin, 2022) reported that comfort during labour and postpartum was significantly higher in the hydrotherapy group (Z = 4.42, p < 0.001; Figure 5c,d).…”

“…Hydrotherapy is used in the form of hot showers as well as in methods such as immersion in water, hot, cold or warm baths in bathtubs or immersion in warm water in a jacuzzi (Cowan et al, 2017; Taghavi et al, 2015). Observational and experimental research has revealed that the application of hydrotherapy during labour for at least 20–30 min at a temperature of 37–38°C increases blood circulation, promotes muscle relaxation and raises endorphin levels, resulting in lessening pain and increasing the mother's satisfaction with the birth process (Mollamahmutoǧlu et al, 2012; Taşkın, 2019). Studies also indicate that the use of hydrotherapy in labour may diminish the production of catacholamine and reduce the use of analgesics as well as the risk of operative childbirth and anxiety (Cluett et al, 2018; Gayiti et al, 2015; Taghavi et al, 2015).…”

AimTo explore the effect of hydrotherapy applied in the first stage of labour on the health of mother and newborn.MethodsThis systematic review and meta‐analysis was carried out by following PRISMA. The studies were obtained by scanning EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, Ovid, Web of Science and Scopus electronic databases. Twenty studies published between 2013 and 2023 were included.ResultsThe total sample size of the studies was 8254 (hydrotherapy: 2953, control: 5301). Meta‐analyses showed that the perception of pain decreased, comfort level and vaginal birth rate were higher and assisted vaginal birth rate and APGAR scores in the first minute were lower in women who underwent hydrotherapy. There was no difference between groups in terms of the duration of the first and second stage of labour, episiotomy, perineal trauma, intrapartum and postpartum bleeding amounts, use of pain medication and labour augmentations, APGAR scores in the fifth minute, positive neonatal bacterial culture and neonatal intensive care unit need.ConclusionThis study revealed that the results that hydrotherapy decreased the perception of pain and assisted birth, increased the rate of vaginal birth and comfort level and did not adversely affect the health of the mother and baby during the birth process.

Depression and anxiety are common mental health problems that negatively affect the quality of life. Functioning, social relationships, daily activities, and physical health are negatively affected. Therefore, it is very important to manage these problems and to investigate effective treatments for individuals to lead a healthy life. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hydrotherapy and balneotherapy on anxiety and depression. Randomized controlled trials published in the last 20 years comparing hydrotherapy and balneotherapy with active control or waiting lists in adults with anxiety and depressive symptoms were included. Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were searched until August 2023. The random effects model and fixed effects model were used for data analysis. The heterogeneity of the study was assessed using the I2 index, and publication bias was assessed using Egger and Begg tests and funnel plots. Seventeen eligible studies with a sample size of 977 participants were selected. After data analysis, the results showed that hydrotherapy and balneotherapy led to a statistically significant reduction in anxiety scores (SMD: 0.46 95% CI: 0.27, 0.65), depression scores (SMD: 0.53 95% CI: 0.38, 0.67). Subgroup analysis based on intervention type showed that balneotherapy reduced anxiety scores (SMD: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.27, 0.65) but not depression scores. Evidence suggests that hydrotherapy and balneotherapy can reduce anxiety and depression in adults. Based on these findings, hydrotherapy and balneotherapy can be applied as an adjunct to standard treatments to improve the mental health of adults.Registration: The study protocol was registered in the International Register of Prospective Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with accession number CRD42023448993.

Background/Aims In Indonesia, cultural beliefs affect holistic healthcare practices. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of cultural beliefs on maternity care and fetal wellbeing. Methods This study used an ethnographic-qualitative design and was conducted in a community setting in West Java, Indonesia. A total of 16 participants of Sundanese culture were recruited based on information from local health workers and community leaders. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and observation sheets were used to collect data on cultural beliefs that impacted pregnant women. Data were analysed using an editing analysis style. Results The seven themes were: dietary practices and restrictions during pregnancy, hygiene practices, managing sleep and drowsiness, sexual intimacy and interactions, cultural beliefs and religious devotion, family participation and challenges monitoring fetal wellbeing. Conclusions To ensure quality pregnancy and fetal care, and facilitate provision of basic needs and parental empowerment, healthcare workers must consider women's cultural beliefs.
