“…The use of MWHs improves access to health care for pregnant and postpartum women and helps them get information to help them plan the place of delivery from health-care providers, as well as education about child immunization. [8][9][10][11][12][13] MWH living facilities are situated nearby health institutions, and are designed for pregnant women to stay in during the final days of their pregnancy, creating access to obstetric care, especially for women in rural settings. 8,14,15 The introduction of MWHs has enabled a significant reduction in deaths of women and neonates and the prevention of stillbirth in the African continent.…”

Background Maternity waiting homes (MWHs) can help women receive the necessary obstetric care and referral if needed. However, there is a lack of evidence on whether women have the desire to stay away from their homes and the sociocultural predictors of their decision in Somaliland. Objective The purpose of this study was to measure predictors of the intention of women to stay in MWHs using the theory of planned behavior in Hargeisa city, Somaliland. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from in April 2021 in Hargeisa health facilities among 422 randomly selected participants using an interviewer-administered and structured questionnaire. Data were transferred to Epi Data 4.6 and exported to SPSS 20 for further analysis. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used. ORs with 95% CIs were used to assess associations, and statistical significance was set at P <0.05. Results A total of 245 (58%, 95% CI 53.1%–62.8%) pregnant women intended to use an MWH. Multivariate analysis revealed that education (AOR 5.40, 95% CI 3.01–9.69), experience of using an MWH (AOR 3.80, 95% CI 2.32–6.27), multigravidity (AOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.16–4.29), subjective norms (AOR 1.8, 95% CI 1.05–3.11), indirect attitudes toward use of MWHs (AOR 1.9, 95% CI 1.01–3.92), and indirect subjective norms (AOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.16–3.60) were significantly associated with intention to use an MWH. Conclusion Using an MWH is not the preference of many women. Personal characteristics, such as education, multigravidity, and perceived social pressure are important predictors of intention to use MWHs. It is important to raise the awareness of women and the community about the benefits of using MWHs in the early management of obstetric complications.

IntroductionThis article examines the effectiveness of yoga in managing stress, with a particular focus on work-related stress. Yoga combines physical postures, breath control, and meditation, and has gained recognition for its potential to relieve stress.PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the motivating factors behind individuals adopting yoga exercises and to assess the effects of regular yoga practice, with a particular focus on age-related differences. Additionally, we aimed to compare participants’ expectations with the actual results of their yoga practice.MethodsTo achieve this, we conducted a comprehensive survey using an online form, which was completed by 520 yoga practitioners. Participants were surveyed about their motivation, the effects they experienced, and the type of yoga they practiced.ResultsThe results showed that the most common motivation for individuals practicing yoga was stress reduction. Additionally, the analysis of the effects of regular yoga practice demonstrated a significant reduction in stress levels, with experienced practitioners reporting lower stress levels compared to beginners. In conclusion, the study suggests that regular yoga practice can be an effective way to reduce stress levels.ConclusionDynamic forms of yoga, which incorporate fluid movements and synchronized breathing techniques, are highly effective approaches to stress management and relief. These findings highlight the value of yoga as a tool for individuals of all ages seeking stress relief and overall well-being. Another advantage of yoga practice is its affordability and lack of negative side effects.
