“…[23] The present study is an essential addition in this area because there are not many studies that reveal awareness of vitamin D insufficiency in Saudi Arabian women. [24] Almost half of the participants in this study exhibited an overall high level of knowledge toward vitamin D and its role in health. Our findings revealed that almost half of the participants (49.5%) indicated they were unaware of the normal level of vitamin D; only 8.8% were able to give the correct answer (20-50 ng/mL), and only 26.5% could identify the recommended daily amount of vitamin D (600 IU).…”

Vitamin D deficiency is a common health problem among adults in Saudi Arabia, particularly females. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, and cognitive decline. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, awareness and practice of vitamin D deficiency among female students in Jazan University as well as to determine the sociodemographic related factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 204 female undergraduate and postgraduate students (18 years of age and older) in March 2022 from Saudi Arabia. Students completed a web-based survey about vitamin D and their demographic characteristics. Statistical analyses were conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Descriptive statistics, the Chi-squared test of homogeneity, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used. The results revealed that the participants had limited knowledge related to vitamin D normal level (49.5%), and the recommended daily amount of vitamin D (26.5%). Most of the participants were unaware of its benefits for vision, muscle integrity, weakness, and fatigue. Most of them recognized the importance of sunlight for maintaining suitable levels of vitamin D (94.1%). However, only 43.1% identified that decreased intake of foods rich in vitamin D is a cause of vitamin D deficiency. Participants (33.7%) preferred exposure to sunlight to improve their vita-min D levels, and 32.4% used vitamin D supplements. However, only 39.2% had ever examined their vitamin D status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models demonstrated a significant association between knowledge, and residence, and source of information (odds ratios = 3.48 and 2.79, respectively, P < .05). Most respondents had a basic understanding of vitamin D, vitamin D insufficiency, and the environmental and dietary factors contributing to it. Given the findings obtained, cognitive interventions need to be carried out.

“…To diagnose early, it is necessary to monitor pregnancy regularly, and pay attention to facial and extremity edema, weight gain, increased blood pressure, and proteinuria tests. Midwives can assist in spreading information and raising awareness of pre-eclampsia throughout pregnancy (Sharma et al, 2022;Kavitha & Raman, 2022).…”

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria that arises after a gestational age of 20 weeks. Pre-eclampsia is one of the obstetric diseases with the most severe complication rates. Research on increasing knowledge, causes, prevention, treatment of pre-eclampsia, and strong evidence of the traumatic impact on short-term and long-term psychological health has been widely undertaken. However, there has been relatively little study on mothers' experiences with preeclampsia. This Scoping Review aims to find out the experiences of mothers with pre-eclampsia. The method used is Scoping Review using Willey Online Library, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. The search results that match the criteria are then analyzed to generate these articles. The appraisal study uses Joana Briggs Institute (JBI), and the synthesis method uses PEOS modification. Of the 152 articles relevant to titles and abstracts, seven articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review discovered four themes that affect mother experience with preeclampsia: maternal reaction, obstacles, impact, and coping. This study contributes to the understanding that the condition of women with preeclampsia during pregnancy and childbirth still requires medical professionals' attention, particularly regarding awareness of perceived symptoms and information regarding pregnancy with preeclampsia.

“…It may occur from 2 weeks to 12 months after delivery but usually occurs within 6 months. The risk of postpartum depression is 10-15% but the rate is higher for people with a history of psychiatric disorder [5] .
