“…33 Low back pain (LBP) has a negative impact on pregnant women's QoL, whereas Progressive Muscle Relaxation exercises accompanied by music improve their QoL. 34 This is also true for the QoL of women receiving telephonesupported ergonomic education on pregnancy-related low back pain, except for physical functioning 35 which can be increased by receiving ear acupuncture for pregnancy-related LBP and/or posterior pelvic girdle pain (PGP). 36 Also, the lumbopelvic belt helps increasing the overall QoL in pregnant women with PGP, 37 but no significant difference in QoL between pregnant women receiving craniosacral therapy and those with standard treatment.…”

Purpose Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has emerged as a key concern in patient care. It has become one of the major objectives of clinical trials. Our study aims to describe the quality of life (QoL) during uncomplicated pregnancy and to assess its associated factors. Patients and Methods The search of articles was carried out using the online database of PUBMED and Web of Science with a limit of time between 2011 and 2021. Data were retrieved by two independent reviewers. Results 721 publications responding to keywords were identified, of which 73 articles on the topic were selected. The main countries that have published on this subject are Australia (n = 10) and China (n = 7). Twenty-three articles deal with QoL for pathological pregnancies. All the pathologies studied have a negative impact on the HRQoL of pregnant women, and its improvement depends on the type of treatment. Obesity, low back, and pelvic girdle pain, and hyperemesis gravidarum were the frequent pathologies during pregnancy. Socio-demographic characteristics related to improved well-being (favorable economic status, social support). Similarly, better sleep quality and moderate physical exercise were linked to an increased QoL. Physical and psychological factors were associated with a lower QoL. Conclusion The HRQoL refers to patients’ subjective evaluation of physical, mental, and social components of well-being. Optimizing the QoL during pregnancy necessitates a deeper understanding of their issues as well as counseling which provides support wherever needed.

“…Our findings suggest that time management interventions may be implemented using web-based methods. Previous researchers have reported that telehealth services provide better opportunities for communication between clients and healthcare providers (Cason, 2015; Pekçetin et al, 2019). Furthermore, there was no attrition in the intervention group of our study, which reflects healthy young adults’ readiness for web-based interventions.…”

Background. Restrictions implemented to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic may lead to disruptions in occupational balance among university students. Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based time-use intervention on the occupational balance of university students. Method. A total of 60 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received eight sessions of web-based time management intervention, while the control group received a single-session web-based time management intervention. Pre-and post-intervention occupational balance of the participants was evaluated with Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ). Findings. The eight-session intervention was more effective than the single-session intervention in improving OBQ total scores and all individual OBQ item scores except for “Having sufficient things to do during a regular week.” Implications. Occupational therapists can implement web-based time management interventions to promote the occupational balance of university students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
