“…Although pregnancy is a normal physiological event, it signifies important changes in a woman’s life, and necessitates her adaptation to these changes (1). According to Kiehl et al women’s adaptation to motherhood roles during pregnancy positively affects their self-confidence and life satisfaction in the postpartum period (2).…”

BackgroundStudies have shown that educating mothers can improve their adaptation to pregnancy and motherhood roles. There are also studies that have investigated the effects of certain interventions on maternal-fetal attachment. However, studies on the effects of maternal adaptation training on maternal-fetal attachment in mothers with a history of fetal or baby loss are rare.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of a pregnancy adaptation training package on maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with a history of baby loss.Patients and MethodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted on 60 pregnant women with previous fetal or neonatal death in 2014. The women were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). The pregnant women in the experimental group received routine prenatal education in addition to four sessions of a pregnancy adaption training package. The control group received only routine prenatal education. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Cranley’s maternal-fetal attachment scale, and a prenatal self-evaluation questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of the study. The data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and spearman correlation coefficient tests.ResultsBefore the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in terms of maternal-fetal attachment (P = 0.280) and adaptation to pregnancy (P = 0.883). However, following the intervention, the mean score of the maternal-fetal attachment was significantly higher in the experimental group, when compared with the control (77.57 ± 7.23 vs. 61.53 ± 2.62; P = 0.001). In addition, the mean post-intervention adaptation to pregnancy score was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (118.89 ± 8.12 vs. 126.38 ± 4.17; P = 0.001).ConclusionsThe pregnancy adaptation training package increased the adaptation and maternal-fetal attachment scores in pregnant women with a history of baby loss.

“…In another study conducted in Saqqez, this figure was 62.9±15.3 in healthy pregnant women and 53.2±11.8 in women with restless leg syndrome (Ghanei Gheshlagh, Toloeipoor Lanjavani, Lazari, & Moslemi, 2014). In their other study in Kashan, Abbasszadeh et al reported the mean score of quality of life as 63.72±12.86 in non-depressed pregnant women and as 52.85±11.8 in depressed pregnant women (F. Abbaszadeh et al, 2013). …”

Women experience physical, chemical, endocrine gland and organ changes during pregnancy that limit their activities and reduce their quality of life. The present study was conducted to investigate the quality of life in pregnant women in Iran, the assessment scales used to measure this variable and the factors associated with it.The present study searched databases including Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, SID, Iranmedex, Mahiran, IranDoc and Google Scholar using keywords such as pregnant women, Iran, quality of life, pregnancy and prenatal and their Persian equivalents to find relevant articles conducted in Iran and ultimately found 20 articles to review without any regard for their time, language and publication site.Studies conducted in Iran to assess the quality of life in pregnant women have used four tools, including the SF-36, the WHOQOL-BRIEF, the SF-12 and the Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy-Specific Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire. The mean quality of life score obtained using these different tools varied from 61.18±13.21 to 66.48±15.57. Social support, socioeconomic status, the pregnancy being wanted, satisfaction with life and sexual function were related directly to the quality of life, while prenatal mental disorders, the severity of pregnancy nausea and vomiting and sleep disorders were related inversely to it.Given the lack of a specific tool designed to assess the quality of life in pregnant women, general tools were used for its assessment. Further studies are thus required to design a specific localized tool and to also assess the relationship between the quality of life and its associated factors.

“…In a study in which SF-36 was used on two different groups of pregnant women with and without depression, it was found that the pregnant women had poor life quality scores. It was determined that the life qualities and especially "mental health", "vitality" and "social function" sub-dimensions of pregnant women who are diagnosed with depressive disorder were much worse (34). Sleep quality and life quality were found to be inversely related in many fields.…”

Objectives: Examining the relation between sleep quality, quality of life, depression and anxiety levels with some endocrinological parameters in pregnancy. Methods:The oral glucose loading test and thyroid function test results of the pregnant women who were in the 24-29th weeks of pregnancy were used in the study. Non-pregnant women, who were matched with the study group in terms of sociodemographic data, were also included in the study as the healthy control group. All participant completed a standardized sociodemographic data collection form and the following scales; Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PDCA), Quality of Life Scale (SF-36).Results: No significant differences were detected between the sociodemographic data of the participants except for the educational status and living area. As a result, statistically significant differences were detected between the "sleep latency" (p=0.016), "usual sleep activity" (p=0.004), "sleep disorder" (p=0.000) subcomponents compared to the control group. For SF-36, on the other hand, the results of the pregnant group in "physical function" (p=0.000), "physical role limitation" (p=0.002) and "pain" (p=0.000) sub-dimensions were worse than the control group. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) value was positively correlated with "sleep time" (r=0.233); the "fasting blood glucose" was positively correlated with "pain" sub-dimensions (r=0.497); and the "physical function" sub-dimension was negatively correlated (r=-0.192). Conclusion:Our data suggest that the depression and anxiety scores of the pregnant women were high, and life and sleep quality was impaired in certain sub-dimensions.
