“…Quality sleep and rest support SQOL, and a healthy sex life also contributes to quality sleep and rest 62 . For example, in a study conducted with climacteric women, women with high fatigue were found to have low SQOL 63 . In this study, we also observed a strong negative relationship between fatigue level and SQOL.…”

Background: Sexual health is an important component of general health. Objective: To evaluate sexual function and sexual quality of life (SQOL) in women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in Turkey. Data were collected via a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and Sexual Quality of Life–Female (SQOL-F) questionnaire. Results: The mean FSFI score was 26.91±5.62, and 39.1% of the women had an FSFI score of 26.55 or lower. The mean SQOL-F score was 79.08±20.90. FSFI score was significantly associated with employment status (β=-0.661), partner education (β=1.698), sexual compatibility between partners (β=0.518), sexual satisfaction (β=0.230), fatigue level (β= -0.120), and frequency of sexual intercourse (β=0.160). In addition, SQOL-F score was significantly associated with sexual desire (β=2.625), satisfaction (β=1.338), pain or discomfort (β=1.274), age (β= -0.356), sexual compatibility between partners (β=1.984), and fatiguelevel (β=-0.981) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Less than half of the women participating in this study had sexual dysfunction, and overall SQOL was moderate to high. These results were associated with some descriptive characteristics of the women and were similar to those reported in pre-pandemic studies conducted in Turkey. Keywords: COVID-19; quality of sex life; sexuality; sexual function; women.

“…Many low-and middle-income countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa follow local traditions for postpartum care after childbirth, such as restricting maternal activities, limiting diet, staying warm, and relying on family members, among other traditional practices [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Background The postpartum period is critical for maternal health status after childbirth. The traditional Chinese postpartum confinement practice, “doing-the-month”, is considered especially effective in helping mothers recover during the postpartum period. However, research has not provided evidence to confirm its benefits. Postpartum depression is a common postpartum disease that seriously threatens maternal health. The systematic review aims to explore the association between “doing-the-month” and postpartum depression in the Chinese female population and to provide a scientific foundation for evidence-based postpartum maternal care. Methods Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were searched according to the protocol (INPALSY202320102). The JBI assessment tool was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Results Sixteen quantitative studies from China and Chinese female immigrants in other countries, including 15 cross-sectional studies and 1 randomized controlled study, were identified. Four studies indicated that “doing-the-month” rituals reduced postpartum depression risk while 2 studies showed opposite results; 10 studies did not show a significant association between “doing-the-month” practices and postpartum depression. Conclusion There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between “doing-the-month” and the likelihood of developing postpartum depression. Some studies have explored the impact of family ties, particular rituals, and specific stressors during the postpartum period on the occurrence of postpartum depression in Chinese women. According to current research, “doing-the-month” practice failed to show a significant protective effect on postpartum depression in the Chinese maternal population. Evidence-based medical health education for the Chinese postpartum female community is urgently needed.
