“…The Salah prayer has stronger implications for mindfulness and a positive relationship with mental wellness (Saniotis, 2018 ; Sayeed & Prakash, 2013 ). In the religion of Islam, Salah prayer, and its components dhikr, where prayers are repeated and recited from the Quran, particularly in the mystical orientations, such as Sufism, mindfulness is an essential component of prayer and contemplation to appreciate God’s work and for consciousness (Kocak et al, 2012 ).…”

The goal of our study was to explore how first-generation immigrant/refugee Muslim women experience prayer and mindfulness in relation to their mental health. Participants were nine women from an urban city in the Midwestern USA. The women completed a structured demographic survey and a virtual semi-structured interview in a focus group. Using qualitative thematic analysis, we obtained four overarching themes from the data: (a) Prayer helps to build community, (b) Prayer promotes wellbeing, (c) Prayer increases faith, and (d) Prayer encourages intentional awareness. The findings demonstrate that prayer involves awareness and has a strong influence on the mental health of the women participants.

“…Remarkably, prayer enables emotional compatibility with pain by transforming feelings of fear and discomfort into comfort, trust, hope, and optimism (Asadzandi, 2019). Prayer significantly reduces pain among labor women (Kocak et al, 2022) and cholecystectomy patients (Maarof et al, 2022). A possible mechanism for the synergistic effect of dhikr and prayer might be the effects of feeling relaxed on the stimulated neurotransmitters: serotonin, melatonin, and endorphins.…”

et al. 2023

Purpose: Dhikr and prayer reduce pain and improve a patient's vital signs. However, the interactions among these require further clarification in patients undergoing appendectomy. This study aimed to assess the effects of the combination of dhikr and prayer on pain, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. Study design: Quasi-experimental design. Method: Pain, pulse, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were measured via clinical examination immediately after leaving the recovery room at 1 and 2 hr after surgery in both the experimental and control groups. In total, 88 eligible participants were allocated to two groups: participants who received both dhikr and prayer ( n = 44), and those who received routine care without analgesic therapy ( n = 44). The chi-square test, independent t test, and general equation model were employed. Results: Respondents showed a significant interaction between group and time to decrease in pain, pulse, respiratory rate, and improved oxygen saturation, except for pain within 1 hr. The differences in all outcome scores between the groups after 1 and 2 hr were statistically significant, except for oxygen saturation after 1 hr. Conclusion: The combination of dhikr and prayer effectively decreased pain and improved vital signs. This helped nurses implement this procedure by promoting an essential culture of spiritual care for appendectomy patients.

Epidural analgesia (EA) provides the most effective labor analgesia, however, it significantly affects the process of childbirth, so finding out the true frequency of adverse outcomes in the case of EA during vaginal birth is relevant.The objective: to establish the frequency of use of EA in maternity healthcare institutions of Ukraine, to determine the relationship between the development of adverse perinatal outcomes in women with vaginal births and use of EA, and the introduction of alternative methods of analgesia for vaginal births.Materials and methods. The frequency of adverse outcomes was analyzed in the group of women who had a vaginal birth and who did not use EA (n=27 503) and in the group of women who had a vaginal birth with EA (n=22 214). The frequency of EA use in vaginal births in 2023 was studied during premature births at 22–25 weeks of pregnancy, 26–32 weeks and 32–37 weeks, pregnancies with preeclampsia, diabetes, breech presentation of the fetus, and the presence of a uterine scar.The data of the medical records of the electronic health care system of women who had vaginal births during 2023 served as the information base. Bibliosemantic, analytical, epidemiological, statistical and conceptual research methods were used.Results. The use of EA is a common method of analgesia for childbirth in Ukraine. EA during childbirth significantly increases the chances of a woman having a prolonged labor (odds ratio (OR) 4.71; p<0.001), weakness of labor (OR 3.52; p<0.001), stimulation of labor (OR 2.36; p< 0.001), instrumental vaginal births (OR 2.76; p<0.001), rupture of the perineum of the 2nd degree (OR 1.24; p<0.001), cervical rupture (OR 1.15; p=0.011), vaginal rupture (OR 1.17; p<0.001), episiotomy (OR 1.71; p<0.001), delayed separation of the placenta (OR 1.32; p<0.001) and fetal distress (OR 1.8; p<0.001).An alternative to EA can be effective non-pharmacological pain management (NРPM), which has numerous advantages in terms of the absence of complications. Effective implementation of NPPM in practice requires the development of a comprehensive approach, including improved education and support for women, availability of resources, and promotion of dissemination of knowledge about NPPM among health care providers.Conclusions. In the study, reliable results were obtained regarding a higher frequency of adverse outcomes in women who received EA compared to women who did not receive EA, namely: prolonged labor, weakness of labor, stimulation of labor, instrumental vaginal delivery, second-degree perineal rupture, cervical rupture, vaginal rupture, episiotomy, delayed separation of the placenta, and fetal distress.These results indicate the need for a balanced approach to the use of EA, based on the benefits and risks for the woman and the fetus. The use of NPPM is a promising alternative that potentially improves the birth experience, reduces adverse effects, and improves outcomes for both mothers and newborns.These methods use the natural pain-relief mechanisms of the organism and promote relaxation, comfort, reduced anxiety, and increased labor satisfaction. In addition, their use has a minimal number of side effects and risks, which makes them an attractive option for most women.
