“…The results of this study also revealed that gender of the household head had a significant association with children's nutritional status only after adjusting for household type, particularly in rural areas. Previous studies in Ethiopia found that female headship increased the likelihood of stunting and underweight among preschoolers (38) and also increased the vulnerability to household food insecurity (39) . In most developing countries, female-headed households are prone to poverty, and they have less access to both job opportunities and government services which then will affect child's outcome (38,40) .…”

Objective: To examine the association of household type and household composition with concurrent stunting and overweight in young children from urban and rural Indonesia. Design: This study is a secondary data analysis using a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. Household structure was analyzed as household type, household size, number of working adults, number of dependent adults and children, and household head’s gender. We defined ‘concurrent stunting and overweight’ as height-for-age Z-score <-2 and weight-for-height Z-score >+2 based on WHO growth standards. Multivariable logistic regression to test the aforementioned association was performed separately for urban and rural areas. Setting: Data were from Indonesia Basic Heath Research 2013. Participants: Children aged 2–5 years (n 45,050). Results: The prevalence of concurrent stunting and overweight children was 5.6%. In rural areas, this prevalence differed significantly by household types and the highest prevalence was among children in nuclear two-parent households (6.8%). In rural areas, children in extended households had lower odds of concurrent stunting and overweight than those from nuclear households (OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.59, 0.92). In urban areas, household size and number of working adults were significantly associated with the decreased odds of concurrent stunting and overweight in children. Conclusions: Household structure was associated with children’s concurrent stunting and overweight in urban and rural regions of Indonesia. The patterns of the association might differ between urban and rural regions, but no significant interaction term was found.

“…It's been reported the incidence of surgical site infection after cesarean section is relatively high, which ranges from 8.18 [7] to 39.17% [8]. Surgical site infection not only affect the prognosis of pregnant women, but also may involve abdominal organs, and even induce diffuse abdominal infections, thereby prolonging the length of hospitalization, and bringing greater psychological and economic burden to the mothers and their families [9][10][11]. Therefore, it's essential to promptly detect the risk factors of surgical site infection after cesarean section, and to understand the etiological characteristics of surgical site infection after cesarean section.…”

Background Surgical site infections after cesarean section are very common clinically, it is necessary to evaluate the risk factors of surgical site infections after cesarean section, to provide evidences for the treatment and nursing care of cesarean section. Methods This study was a retrospective cohort study design. Patients undergone cesarean section in a tertiary hospital of China from May 2017 to May 2020 were identified, we collected the clinical data of the included patients, and we analyzed the infection rate, etiological characteristics and related risk factors of surgical site infection after caesarean section. Results A total of 206 patients with cesarean section were included, and the incidence of surgical site infection in patients with cesarean section was 23.30%. A total of 62 cases of pathogens were identified, Enterococcus faecalis (33.87%) and Escherichia coli (29.03%) were the most common pathogens. Both Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli were highly sensitive to Cefoperazone, Meropenem, and Levofloxacin. Logistic regression analyses indicated that Age ≥ 30y (OR 4.18, 95%CI: 1.23–7.09), BMI ≥ 24 (OR 2.39, 95%CI: 1.02–4.55), duration of cesarean section ≥ 1.5 h (OR 3.90, 95%CI: 1.28–5.42), estimated blood loss ≥ 400 ml (OR 2.35, 95%CI: 1.10–4.37) and the duration of urinary catheter ≥ 24 h (OR 3.18, 95% CI: 1.21–5.71) were the independent risk factors of surgical site infection after cesarean section (all p < 0.05). Conclusions Age, BMI, duration of surgery, blood loss and urinary catheter use were associated with higher risk of the surgical site infection after cesarean section. Clinical preventions and interventions are warranted for those population to reduce the occurrence of surgical site infection.

“…Most previous studies [8][9][10][11][12] on female-headed households have focused on cases where women inevitably become head of households in situations of war or in crisis situations in socioeconomically vulnerable countries. However, as South Korea is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the vulnerability experienced by female-headed households in Korea means that it is different from these countries.…”

The female-headed household is a new vulnerable group associated with health inequality. The purpose of this study was to analyze psychological well-being and related factors among Korean female-headed households based on age stratification. This was a secondary analysis of data extracted from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2017), which included a total of 9084 female-headed households. Their psychological well-being was measured by the WHO-5 well-being index. A total of 39.8% of female-headed household workers were psychologically unhealthy. Among them, 2.2% of those aged 15–30 years old, 8.1% aged 30–50 years old, and 29.5% over aged 50 years old were unhealthy. In the age group of 15–30 years old, depression/anxiety was negatively associated with psychological well-being. In the age group of 30–50 years old, living alone, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and depression/anxiety were negatively associated with psychological well-being. In the age group over 50 years old, low education level, living alone, low income, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and depression/anxiety were negatively associated with psychological well-being. The psychological well-being perceived by female households is complex and goes beyond economic poverty and dependent burdens. Therefore, a multidimensional support strategy should be included in the concept of social deprivation, and a preventive approach is needed to establish a support system.
