The aim of this study was to explore healthcare providers’ (HCPs) views about postnatal follow-up care (PNFC) offered to women in Oman.</span><br /><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Methods: </span></strong><span lang="EN-GB">This qualitative study was performed from May 2021 to January 2022; 29 individual participated in semi-structured telephone interviews with staff nurses (N=20), nurse/midwives (N=5), and doctors (N=4) from Khoula and Ibra hospitals and Al Amerat, Muttrah and Al Qabil health centers in Oman. Conventional content analysis was guided by Erlingsson and Brysiewicz. </span><br /><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Results: </span></strong><span lang="EN-GB">Seventeen sub-categories and four categories emerged from the data; they included communication and timing of PNFC, provision of PNFC with various components, challenges and needs for providing PNFC, and the impact of COVID-19 on PNFC. </span><br /><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Conclusion: </span></strong><span lang="EN-GB">Providing postnatal follow-up care in Oman is challenging for HCPs due to lack of clinics dedicated to postnatal care, no scheduled appointment times for women, very limited guidance within the National Maternity Care guideline, and some HCPs (i.e., nurses) with no formal education on the components of postnatal care. These hinder the ability to provide information, education, support, and services to women. </span>https://ijcbnm.sums.ac.ir/article_48843_66ce8898874aef42a83a9a9e3236ed1e.pdfShiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IranInternational Journal of Community Based Nursing & Midwifery2322-247611120230101The Effect of Palm Pollen Extract on Sexual Disorders in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial14224882310.30476/ijcbnm.2022.95809.2086ENMarzeyehLoripoorDepartment of Midwifery, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Elderly Care Research Center, Rafsanjan

While these are joyful moments for many, some physical and psychological issues have been reported during labour and pregnancy. This study was conducted to explore the coping experiences of Nigerian women during pregnancy and labour.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> This is an exploratory qualitative study using the content analysis. The study was conducted from November 2021 to January 2022 in Ekiti State and Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 women selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection was stopped when we reached data saturation. Data were analyzed through content analysis using the NVIVO software version 12.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Two themes emerged from the study including coping strategies during pregnancy and trying to endure labour pain. The theme, coping strategies utilized during pregnancy, included obtaining the relatives’ experiences, seeking information, religious practices, and engaging in exercise. The theme, trying to endure labour pain, consisted of exercising for pain relief, relying on God, Positive imagination, giving psychological support, and behaving according to the accepted cultural beliefs.<br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Findings suggested that women utilized many non-pharmacological methods for coping. Interventions to support women during pregnancy and labour should consider these strategies during planning and implementation.https://ijcbnm.sums.ac.ir/article_48854_2d0959e11d7b607aba641e1369265521.pdfShiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IranInternational Journal of Community Based Nursing & Midwifery2322-247611120230101Effect of Health Promotion Interventions in Active Aging in the Elderly: A Randomized Controlled Trial34434889210.30476/ijcbnm.2022.96246.2117ENSeyedeh ReyhaneDavodiDepartment of Community Health of Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Mashhad University of

This study aimed to investigate the concerns and experiences of Iranian pregnant women in the fetal anomaly screening process.<br /><strong>Methods: </strong>This qualitative study was performed from September 2018 to June 2019 in Tehran, Iran. Twenty pregnant women who referred to prenatal care clinics, four specialists, and two midwives took part in this study. The sampling was done purposefully until data saturation. Qualitative interviews were analyzed using the content analysis approach and Graneheim and Lundman’s method. The MAXQDA 10 was used for data management.<br /><strong>Results: </strong>The pregnant women who participated in the study were 22-40 years old. The following 4 themes were obtained from the analysis: the challenge of deciding to perform the tests, bitter pregnancy experience, challenges of facing an abortion, and unmet needs of pregnant women by the health system.<br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings indicate that pregnant women need real information and support. Designing and implementing interventions that reduce the psychological impact of performing fetal anomaly screening tests can highlight the potential benefits for pregnant women’s health.https://ijcbnm.sums.ac.ir/article_48824_d221563cf369f6b12f588b2139bf86c6.pdfShiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IranInternational Journal of Community Based Nursing & Midwifery2322-247611120230101High Risk-pregnant Women’s Experiences of Risk Management: A Qualitative Study57664888310.30476/ijcbnm.2022.96781.2148ENTalatKhadivzadehNursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad,

There is a dearth of information about the experiences of high-risk pregnant mothers in self-mitigation of the risk in the socio-cultural setting of Iran.<strong> </strong>This research was conducted to explore the risk management experiences of high-risk pregnant mothers.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> This Qualitative study was conducted in educational hospitals in Mashhad, Iran, from July 2018 to December 2020. The purposive sampling method was used to recruit the participants based on medical or obstetric high-risk conditions in pregnancy. Qualitative data were obtained from in-depth and semi-structured 29 interviews. Mothers’ experiences of pregnancy in a risky condition were asked, and the interview continued until data saturation. Data were analyzed using the MAXQDA 10 software and the Elo and Kyngäs method.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Maternal experiences for risk management in pregnancy were formed by nine sub-categories and three categories: the excitement of emotion including: “feeling worry and despair”, “gladness in the shadow of hope and optimism”, “momentary shocking and excitement”, and “inactivity and helplessness”; self-contemplation including: “active analysis of the ways of moderating the risk”, “cognitive denial”, and “ignoring the risk”; and witnessed action including: “problem-focused and rational actions”, and “avoidance and inefficient engagements”.<br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Risk management experiences of pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies include a wide range of positive and negative feelings, effective and ineffective thoughts, and behaviors. Mutual collaboration between mothers and midwives/obstetricians by providing high-quality risk management counseling can lead to choosing effective risk management strategies.https://ijcbnm.sums.ac.ir/article_48883_ea24df07a54e1c19e2ac3fcfa4e31245.pdfShiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IranInternational Journal of Community Based Nursing & Midwifery2322-247611120230101The Role of Psychodrama in Reducing Cesarean Rates and Fear of Childbirth67684889810.30476/ijcbnm.2022.97541.2190ENFadimeBayri BingolDepartment of Midwifery, Health Science Faculty, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey0000-0002-0304-6165Journal Article20221219https://ijcbnm.sums.ac.ir/article_48898_b80eb3c43bf7a17d6d7ea8ed65ed263f.pdfShiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, IranInternational Journal of Community Based Nursing & Midwifery2322-247611120230101The Role of Community-based Health Services in Sexual and Reproductive Needs of Transgender People69704889910.30476/ijcbnm.2022.97523.2188ENFarnazFarnamDepartment of Reproductive Health, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tehran University of Medical
