“…In the present study, the mean score of oral health behaviours in children was lower than the average. In this respect, the findings of this study were consistent with those reported by Nokhostin et al [24], Dehvari et al [25] and Yavari et al [26]. As the evaluation of oral health behaviours in this study included brushing, sugar consumption, and visits to dentists and because children in this age group follow mainly their parents, therefore empowering parents through providing information and education in the domain of dental health oral hygiene and teaching skills can help to improve oral health behaviours for the children.…”

“…To evaluate OHRQoL, we used the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHI). This instrument has translated and culturally adapted to assess OHRQoL of preschool children in some communities [22][23][24][25]. Jabarifar et al [22] translated this questionnaire into Persian and Proved in a study in 2-5 years old children, that the Persian version of ECOHI for assessing OHRQoL of preschool children has appropriate validity and reliability.…”

Background Dental and oral diseases can have negative impacts on children’s quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in the children aged 2–5 years old. Materials and methods A total number of 288 children aged between 2 and 5 years were selected and stratified by gender from three community health centres located in the city of Jahrom, south of Fars Province, Iran. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability was confirmed. The questionnaire was completed by parents/caregivers of the children. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed with quality of life as the dependent variable and, based on covariance structural analysis, evaluated the goodness of fit of the resulting structural equations models. Results The results showed that predisposing factors with a coefficient of 0.0457 (p = 0.015) and reinforcing factors ones with a coefficient of 0.2748 (p < 0.001) were correlated with the oral health behaviours. Moreover, there was a relationship between such behaviours with a coefficient of 0.1612 (p < 0.001) and oral health status and the given status with a coefficient − 0.9714 was correlated with OHRQoL (p < 0.001). Based on the covariance structural analysis, the resulting model was found to exhibit a reasonable goodness of fit. Conclusion The predictors of the children’s OHRQoL included predisposing, strengthening, oral health behaviours and oral health status. Therefore, planning to enhance supportive family behaviours and to boost predisposing factors including knowledge, attitudes, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy in parents and their oral health behaviours is recommended.

“…However, improvements and constant changes in the cosmetic industry and the limited evidence on the pregnancy-related effects of the hair dyes influence recommendations on using cosmetics during pregnancy. Even with the probability of toxic effects of cosmetics, to maintain beauty, women frequently dye their hair during pregnancy (3,17). In our study, 75.24% of participants dyed their hair, and mostly, they did it in the third trimester.…”

“…However, the results were inconclusive (18). We may assume that women who dye their hair in the third trimester would belong to the group of women who use hair colors frequently to enhance self-image on the due date (3,17). Hence, these women are more exposed to the chemicals in the hair dyes.…”

IntroductionPregnancy is a determining period for both mother and fetus. No mother would jeopardize her baby's health at any cost. Nowadays, most women dye their hair at some points in their lives, sometimes as early as 18 years old (1-3). It is not clear whether hair color would affect the fetus or not. Studies have shown a possible association between hair coloring during pregnancy, and low birth weight (LBW), neuroblastoma, and leukemia in the offspring (4-7). There is a report on increased neonatal abnormalities in mothers who used chlorinated solvents and glycol ether for hair dyeing during pregnancy. Still, the report was criticized because of the lack of biological plausibility (8). Blackmore-Prince et al failed to show the association of dyeing hair three months before pregnancy and during pregnancy with preterm labor or LBW in black women (9). Different studies raised concerns about the association of the effect of glycol ethers and oxygenated solvents which are used in cosmetic products with neurocognitive abnormalities and potential developmental effects on the male genital system (10,11), and thus far, studies have failed to prove the adverse association (12).Despite limited evidence on the adverse effects of hair coloring during pregnancy, with a justification of "minimal systemic absorption on healthy skin", hair dyes are considered to be safe during pregnancy (13,14). However, there is no convincing evidence aimed to examine the relationships between hair coloring during pregnancy and other unwanted outcomes. According to our clinical experience, most Iranian women believe that hair coloring during pregnancy would affect the child; however, if they want to dye their hair, they do it at the end of the third trimester. Considering these, the main goal of this study was to examine the association between hair coloring and intrapartum and neonatal outcomes such as preterm labor and Apgar scores. Materials and MethodsThis was an explorative cross-sectional study; therefore, we did not use a formal sample size calculation and evaluated all participants' data. The study was carried out in Talegani teaching hospital of Tabriz University of Abstract Objectives: Using hair dye has spread globally in recent years. Concerns have arisen about the safety of hair dyes during pregnancy. The primary goal of this study was to examine the association between hair coloring and pregnancy outcomes. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2040 pregnant women aged 14 to 48 years, in Talegani teaching hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to December 2019. Three trained midwives collected relevant information from the women on the admission to the labor room and recorded pregnancy outcomes. Chi-square test of independence with post hoc tests and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and contributing effect sizes were reported. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: The majority of participan...

“…[1][2][3] There is also evidence that certain chemicals in cosmetic products are also potential teratogens. [4][5][6][7][8] Only the medications prescribed by an obstetrician like vitamins, minerals and other supplements or medications to treat common symptoms during pregnancy should be taken. It is therefore of utmost importance that, prescription medications without the physician's prescription and over the counter medication is avoided in pregnancy.…”

Background: Inappropriate use of drugs and certain cosmetics can cause potential harm to the mother as well as the fetus. Good knowledge about drug use can help pregnant women make informed decisions. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude among pregnant women regarding the usage of drugs and cosmetics during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the antenatal clinic of a tertiary care centre from August to November 2018 in 384 randomly selected pregnant women. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Around 51.56% of pregnant women believed that drugs may have an effect on them or the fetus and 11.19% believed the same for cosmetics. More than half of them feel that drugs should mainly be avoided in the third trimester. Around 25% of women believed that the irrational use of drugs could cause congenital anomalies in the fetus. About 58.07% of women were of the opinion that pregnancy requires the consumption of many drugs and 34.11% preferred to use alternative medicine during pregnancy. The primary source of information in majority of women was doctors followed by media. Around 32.03% of women had taken drugs outside a doctor's prescription during their pregnancy. A decrease in cosmetic use was reported by 4.94% women. Conclusion: The knowledge regarding the correct use of drugs and cosmetics during pregnancy is poor. The use of non-prescribed medications is high. Educational programs for women to increase their knowledge of the potential risks to them as well as the fetus are necessary.
