Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Little is known about Arab women’s (AW) perceptions of medication use in Kuwait. Women with cardiovascular disease (CVD) manage their condition in the context of their lives and responsibilities, so a culturally adapted intervention may have a greater impact on individual behaviour. This study aims to assess adherence to CVD medications among Arab women with cardiovascular disease (AW-CVD), to explore barriers to adherence from the perspectives of both patients and healthcare providers (HCP), to examine possible service developments and to make recommendations to optimise treatment

Abstract:

In this study, I focus on the changing gender relationships between women and men and on women’s political rights in Kuwaiti society in particular. Specifically, I measure Kuwaiti citizens’ attitudes toward Kuwaiti women in political roles after Kuwaiti women gained their political rights, especially after May 16, 2005. Gender relationships continue to change, and in order to understand these changes it is important to examine the current cultural context in which they are occurring. This context includes political change, cultural development, the impact of the media and economic systems, as

Abstract:

Regular breastfeeding surveillance is essential to determine to what extent national breastfeeding targets are being met and how breastfeeding practices change over time. There have been irregular infant feeding studies or national surveys carried out in Kuwait so it is difficult to assess secular trends in breastfeeding practices. The objective of the Kuwait Infant Feeding Study (KIFS) was to identify the incidence and prevalence of breastfeeding up to 26 weeks postpartum among a population of women living in Kuwait and to identify the factors associated with the initiation and duration of br

Abstract:

Background: Oral health is a concern in pregnancy because of local oral effects such as gingivitis and the potential to have an adverse effect on pregnancy outcomes. In Kuwait, evidence suggests that expectant mothers have poor oral health, are fearful of dentistry, have little awareness of oral health and are in need of dental health education (DHE). In order to design an intervention aiming to change the oral health behaviours of pregnant Kuwaiti women, it was important to have contemporary evidence on the relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and adverse birth outcomes (ABOs), and a

Abstract:

<p>According to the salutogenic theory put forth by Antonovsky, an individual’s sense of coherence (SOC) is central for maintaining health. The present study used data from middle-aged women being part of a longitudinal research program to investigate how SOC relates to health status (in terms of self-rated health and medicine consumption) and a set of lifestyle factors (physical exercise, alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption and dietary habits). Women with a strong SOC were hypothesized to exhibit better health profiles, consume less medication, and lead a healthier lifestyle than women

Recent research has focussed on providing a better understanding of subjective experiences of people with CLBP; however, emphasis continues to be geared towards the physical restrictions associated with CLBP. There is a scarcity of literature that considers the relation between self and identity, and people‟s experiences with CLBP. Moreover, studies have concentrated on the experiences of people in Western contexts; to date, no studies have been carried out in Middle Eastern sociocul
