Abstract:
Background In Nepal, 1 - 2 % of the population suffers from severe mental illness, 5 % from moderate mental problems, while 20 - 30 % of all the patients coming to health institutions have some problems related to mental illness. Aims The aim of the study was to describe the socio-demographic profile and problems of the female patients with depression attending psychiatry OPD of Western Regional Hospital & Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara Settings and Design The study was carried out in the Out Patient Department of Psychiatry at Manipal Teaching Hospital and Western Regional Hospital, Pokhara, from May 2005 to April 2006. Material and Method Cohort data of 50 patients from MTH and 50 patients from WRH were collected. The screening criteria for cases for inclusion in the study were as follows: Female patients with headache, mental tension, feeling of hopelessness and persisted sadness in women with abnormal behavior. The diagnosis and management of all the cases were done by the Psychiatrists and doctors of MTH and WRH. The primary source of data was interview of the patients, their relatives and doctors and observation by the study group Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS, version 16, statistical analysis program (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). Results 71.51% female patients and 48.29% male patients visited psychiatry OPD at MTH during the study period. Likewise, compare to male patients (47.5%), female patients (52.5%) were higher in WRH during the study period. Most of the women in depression were in productive age group in both the hospitals ; 42% between 21-30 yrs followed by 33% in 31- 40yrs, 16% in 41-50yrs and 4% in 51-60 yrs . 17% women were service holder in different fields, 39% were housewives, 7% in Business, 33% were working in Agriculture / laborer and 4% were in miscellaneous fields. Conclusion Higher caste women suffered more from depression and incidence is more in rural than in urban areas. Due to lack of awareness, most of the mental disorders go unreported.

Abstract:
Background: Postpartum depression is the most prevalent postpartum mental health problem. Risk factors for postpartum depression include psychosocial stressors. One of these psychosocial stressors could be intimate partner violence. Co-occurrence of intimate partner violence and postpartum depression is considered deadly co morbidity because it can increase the risk of homicide and suicide. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between intimate partner violence and depression among postnatal women attending postnatal and infant welfare clinics of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 postpartum women who attended postnatal and infant welfare clinics of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Osogbo using Composite Abuse Scale (CAS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Socio-demographic questionnaire. Respondents that were found to be EPDS positive as well as 10% of EPDS negative respondents were further assessed with Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) (depression subscale) to diagnose depression.Results: Respondents that experienced intimate partner violence were five times as likely to have postpartum depression compared to those that did not experience IPV. Logistic regression showed that intimate partner violence independently predicted postpartum depression in respondents (OR 4.799, CI 1.844-12.493).Conclusions: Postpartum depression was significantly higher among women that experienced intimate partner violence. This observation has implications for mental health of women, therefore, any woman with suspected postpartum depression should be asked about IPV as this could be a pointer to IPV.

Abstract:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education included school closures and the implementation of virtual teaching and teleworking without the knowledge or resources needed to do so. This situation accentuated the inequality in accessing quality education and generated high rates of stress, anxiety, and general discomfort in teachers. This study aimed to explore the mental health of teachers who were forced to telework because of COVID-19, and to analyze the association with sociodemographic, teacher-related, and working conditions. The sample was 278 classroom teachers in Chile who teleworked more than 50% during the 2020 academic year. The participants were mostly women (82%) who entered the teaching profession at age 30 or younger (87%) and worked two or more unpaid overtime hours per day (67%). The dependent variable was mental health measured through the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The independent variables were sociodemographic, teacher-related, and work conditions. The internal structure of the mental health construct was evaluated using the Rasch model. Crude odds ratios (cORs) and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were estimated using logistic regression models. A high rate of poor mental health was identified in teachers (58%). The variables associated with poor mental health were working in a private–subsidized school (aOR = 2.89; 95% CI: 1.16–7.22), working two or more unpaid overtime hours (aOR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.11–4.59), and being absent due to sickness (aOR = 3.82; 95% CI: 1.53–9.58). These results provide evidence suggesting the need for actions to improve the working conditions of teachers who telework in order to improve their mental health, and thus have a positive impact on the entire educational community.

Abstract:
Introduction: With the beginning of comprehensive abortion care service in Nepal, since 2004, safe abortion services in the first trimester are available in all 75 district hospitals of Nepal. Nepal has expanded comprehensive abortion care into the second trimester in 2007. This study tries to investigate the reasons for using comprehensive abortion care service and to know the post-abortion contraceptive acceptance among women presenting at first and second trimester of gestation.Materials and Methods: This hospital-based prospective study was conducted among women seeking comprehensive abortion care service at first and second trimester of gestation in the outpatient department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital from July 2017 to July 2018. Data collection was done by filling proforma and was analyzed.Results: There were a total of 171 clients, out of which 78.95% (n=135) were in the first trimester and 21.05% (n=36) in the second trimester of pregnancy. The reason in the first trimester was completed family (39.25%) and the main reason for the second trimester was maternal mental health (48.71%). Among the total study population, 16.37% (n=28) accepted contraception. The most common accepted contraceptive method was implant (n=14; 8.1%), followed by inj. depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (n=8; 4.6%).Conclusions: The prevalence of second-trimester abortion is high despite the availability of first-trimester comprehensive abortion care service. The main reason for induced abortion in first trimester was completed family and in second-trimester was maternal mental health. Post-abortion contraceptive acceptance among comprehensive abortion care clients was very low.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the implementation and evaluation of interventions for women firesetters in high secure mental healthcare at the UK’s National Women’s Service. Design/methodology/approach Two types of Arson treatment programmes for women, one delivered to individuals, the other within a group context, were developed, delivered and evaluated. The evaluation incorporated qualitative and quantitative data, including psychometric measures. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings The evaluation evidenced very high engagement with and attendance at treatment programmes, and several post-treatment gains. Participants’ ratings of programmes and qualitative feedback were similarly very positive. The study demonstrated that engaging women firesetters in their treatment is paramount and can be facilitated by consistent boundaries around therapy provision balanced with sensitivity, empathy and flexibility; providing interactive and varied teaching methods; ongoing service user involvement and recognising participants’ achievements; employing a mixed cognitive analytic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy therapeutic approach; having input from fire service staff; and maintaining organisational support for firesetting interventions. Practical implications In all, 12 key recommendations are made for clinicians considering offering treatment programmes for women firesetters. Originality/value Amid few published papers on treating women firesetters this paper guides forensic clinicians in establishing and delivering interventions for women firesetters.

Abstract:
This case-control study evaluated whether UI in the puerperium compromises the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and if so, in which aspects. The study included 344 women (77 case group and 267 control group) up to 90 days postpartum, who were attended the Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic of a public teaching hospital, for the postpartum follow up consultation. A socio-demographic and clinical data questionnaire formulated and validated for the study, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short-Form (ICIQ-SF), the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), were applied. The mean score of the ICIQ-SF was 13.9 (SD: 3.7). The case group presented high mean scores in the domains Impact of the Incontinence, Emotions, Daily Activity Limitations and Physical Limitations, of the KHQ. The groups differed significantly in the domains Physical Aspects, Pain, General Health Status, Vitality, Social Aspects and Mental Health of the SF-36. It is concluded that UI significantly affects the physical and mental health of puerperae.

Abstract:
This article offers a novel approach to conceptualising ballet practice as a leisurely activity that exudes pleasure. It argues that the notion of pleasure in ballet has been neglected in scholarly research which criticises ballet for its negative impact on the physical and mental health of dancers, its authoritarian teaching methods and its trivial aesthetic that objectifies the female body and perpetuates the construction of stereotypical gender roles within a patriarchal society. This study focuses on the lived experiences of female amateur ballet participants, emphasising their agency. It provides first-hand accounts to illuminate the significance of ballet in women dancers’ personal growth, development and psychological wellbeing, drawing on sociologist Roger Caillois's categorisation of pleasures involved in games and play. Overall, the article highlights the multiple types of pleasure associated with ballet dancing as a key motivational factor and rationale for participation.

Abstract:
Using an instrument developed in the United States to assess students' knowledge of mental health in old age, the present study tested 179 Australian undergraduates who varied in age, sex, and the frequency of their contact with aged people at home, at work, and in the neighborhood. As predicted, women scored higher than men and scores rose with age and with contact when age was partialed out. Unexpectedly, Australian students averaged two more items correct than the American students for whom the test was developed. Implications for teaching are considered.

Abstract:
This study aims to determine the spiritual empowerment in Sepuh Payaman Cottage, Magelang. Spiritual empowerment is an effort to reduce the anxiety of the elderly about death. In old age humans are often associated with death that is getting closer. Preparing elderly mental health in the face of death is a basic requirement for the community in addition to physical and social health. In this study used a qualitative method approve case study, with the process of collecting data using interviews and observations. In order to analyze the data we used the disengagement theory of social gerontology. The findings in this study that spiritual empowerment was carried out within 24 hours and framed through ritual and social worship. The teaching pattern is emphasized in lecture-listening and learning by doing. The motivation of the elderly and family support is a driving factor for the elderly, while the decline in physical function is a limiting factor. In the pattern of spiritual empowerment, implications are found including, 1) Obtaining inner peace; 2) Getting closer to God; 3) Increasing the faith of the elderly; 4) Able to read Al-Qur’an; 5) Growing humanity; and 6) Establishment of new relations. The findings of this study can be used as an alternative and answer to reduce the level of anxiety in the elderly related to death.

Abstract:
In this qualitative study, we examined perceptions of the strong Black woman (SBW) or superwoman role in a sample of 30 Black women. We found that participants conceptualized the SBW/superwoman role through five characteristics: independent, taking care of family and others, hardworking and high achieving, overcoming adversity, and emotionally contained. Most participants were ambivalent about their relationship with this role, given historical accounts and familial examples of Black women. Many participants appropriated the SBW/superwoman role by redefining it in ways that were more empowering and freeing. Several participants were critical of and rejected the SBW/superwoman role, focusing on its problematic and rigid view of strength. All of these perspectives underscore the importance of increasing awareness of restrictive gendered and racialized role expectations as well as the desire to maintain connections to the cultural legacy of Black women. Several important contextual factors (e.g., social status, family relationships) emerged that are relevant to the identified themes. Results from this study highlight how the discourse of strength and familiarity with the SBW/superwoman role are pervasive among Black women. Our findings underscore the need for practitioners to understand the complexity in how Black women make meaning of this role relative to help seeking for physical and mental health.

Abstract:
Asian women and mental health has largely been a neglected area of research. International and national research on self-harm and suicide suggests that South Asian women are at an increased risk. Mental Health services acknowledge their lack of involvement with this population group and have instigated initiatives to increase South Asian women’s contact with their services. One such initiative is to carry out further research with South Asian women to help understand their distress and examine implications for Mental Health services. The first paper in this thesis reviews the relevant literature that explores reasons for self-harm and attempted suicide in British South Asian women. The Literature review provides a methodological critique and implications for further research in this field. The second paper in this thesis is an empirical paper which adopts a grounded theory approach, exploring mental health issues in a non-clinical sample of British South Asian women. The third paper is also an empirical paper which adopts a phenomenological approach in order to explore a unique British South Asian woman’s experience of self-harm and attempted suicide. The final paper is a reflective paper which explores my research journey.

Abstract:
Impulsivity is considered a major contributor to various antisocial behaviours (Nofziger, 2010) and is present in many mental and personality disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Given that clear sex differences have been observed in such behaviours and disorders (Nofziger, 2010; Struber, et al., 2008), it is of interest to explore whether similar sex differences are observed in impulsivity. This thesis explores sex differences in impulsivity and its sub factors, as well as the potential role of impulsivity in explaining sex differences in antisocial behaviours and affective disorders. Using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, 11a version (BIS-11a; Barratt, 1994), a self report measure of impulsivity, we compared men and women on their total BIS total scores and factor scores, and examined whether sex moderated the association between impulsivity and criminal justice involvement, aggression, substance dependence, depression and mania.The analyses were conducted using data gathered through a large Epidemiological Catchment Area study of mental health in Montreal, Canada. The sample was randomly selected among residents living in the southwest of the city and consisted of 2,419 participants, between the ages of 15 and 69. Each participant was administered a variety of assessment measures including the BIS-11a, the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, a self report version of the Modified Overt Aggression Scale and a self-report criminal justice involvement scale. One-way analyses of covariance revealed no sex differences in impulsivity, even after controlling for age and socioeconomic status. In terms of the factors of impulsivity, both careful planning and coping stability were marginally higher in men. Additionally, logistic regression analyses showed that impulsivity was a predictor of criminal justice involvement, aggression and substance dependence but not of depression and mania and that sex was predictive of criminality, self-aggression and substance dependence (both alcohol and drug) in the past twelve months. Sex, however did not moderate the relation between impulsivity and any of the other variables, as was originally anticipated. In conclusion, if men were more prone than women to engage in such behaviours, their propensity is probably due to other factors such as heightened opportunity to engage in antisocial behaviours. Alternatively, the BIS-11a might not measure all components of impulsivity such a sensation seeking trait which may be directly linked to sex differences in antisocial behaviours and affective disorders. Future studies should include additional measures of impulsivity in order to get a clearer picture of the role sex might play in the association between antisocial behaviours, affective disorders and impulsivity as a whole.This large scale epidemiological study is the first to our knowledge in North America to look at sex differences and similarities in the measurement of impulsivity as well as the correlates of the latter. This study will allow us to make inferences about the relation between impulsivity and sex in the general population.<br>L'impulsivité est considérée comme un facteur contribuant fortement aux comportements antisociaux (Nofziger, 2010). Ce trait est également présent dans plusieurs troubles de santé mentale et de la personnalité (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Prenant compte que des différences inter sexe ont été observés dans ces comportements et troubles mentaux (Nofziger, 2010;. Struber, et al, 2008), il est intéressant d'examiner si ces mêmes différences pourraient être observées en ce qui a trait à l'impulsivité. Cette thèse explore les différences inter sexe dans l'impulsivité et ses sous-facteurs, ainsi que le rôle potentiel que ces différences ont sur les comportements antisociaux et les troubles affectifs. Utilisant l'échelle d'impulsivité de Barratt (BIS-11a; Barratt, 1994), nous avons comparé les hommes et les femmes dans leurs scores totaux et dans les scores de leurs sous-facteurs. Nous avons aussi examiné si le sexe était un facteur modérateur de l'association entre d'une part l'impulsivité et d'autre part, la criminalité, l'agression, la dépendance aux substances, la dépression et de manie. Les analyses ont été effectuées à partir des données recueillies dans le cadre d'une vaste étude Épidémiologique portant sur la santé mentale à Montréal, Canada. L'échantillon aléatoire était composé de 2,419 participants, âgés de 15 à 69 ans, résidant dans le sud-ouest de Montréal. Nous avons administré une série d'instruments aux participants, y compris la BIS-11a, la « Composite International Diagnostic Interview », la « Modified Overt Aggression Scale » et un questionnaire de criminalité auto-rapporté. Une analyse de covariance n'a révélé aucune différence entre les sexes dans l'impulsivité et ce, même en contrôlant l'âge et le statut socio-économique. En ce qui concerne les facteurs d'impulsivité de « planification minutieuse » et « stabilité pour faire face aux problèmes », les résultats étaient légèrement plus élevés chez les hommes. En outre, des analyses de régression logistique ont montré que l'impulsivité était un facteur prédicateur de la criminalité, des comportements agressifs ainsi que de la dépendance aux substances mais pas de dépression et de manie. Le sexe était lui aussi un facteur prédictif de la criminalité, de l'auto-agression et de la dépendance aux de substances. Le sexe, n'était toutefois pas une variable modératrice de la relation entre l'impulsivité et les variables d'intérêt. Nous pouvons donc conclure que si les hommes sont plus aptes que les femmes à perpétrer ces comportements, leur propension est probablement due à d'autres facteurs tels que, l'occasion accrue de s'engager dans des comportements antisociaux. Alternativement, la BIS-11 ne mesure peut-être pas toutes les composantes de l'impulsivité et il s'agit peut-être de d'autres sous facteurs de l'impulsivité comme la recherche de sensations fortes qui sont directement liées aux différences inter-sexe observées dans les comportements antisociaux et des troubles affectifs. Les études futures devraient donc inclure des mesures supplémentaires d'impulsivité dans le but d'obtenir une image plus claire de l'association entre le sexe, les comportements antisociaux et l'impulsivité. Cette étude épidémiologique est la première étude à notre connaissance, en Amérique du Nord à étudier les différences inter sexe dans l'impulsivité, ainsi que l'effet modérateur que ce trait a sur les comportements antisociaux chez les hommes et les femmes. Cette étude nous permettra de faire des inférences sur la relation entre l'impulsivité et le sexe dans la population générale.

Abstract:
Background: Family planning is a crucial issue for all women of reproductive age, but in women with severe mental illness (SMI) there may be particular challenges and concerns. As primary care-based mental health care is expanded in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is an opportunity to improve family planning services for women with SMI. However, research exploring unmet family planning needs of women with SMI in such settings is scarce. Aim: To explore the family planning experiences, unmet needs and preferences of women with SMI who reside in a predominantly rural area of Ethiopia Methods: A qualitative study design was used. Women with SMI who were participating in the ongoing population-based cohort study in Butajira were selected purposively on the basis of responses to a quantitative survey of current family planning utilization. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 women with SMI who were of reproductive age until theoretical saturation was achieved. Audio files were transcribed in Amharic, translated into English and analysed using a Framework Approach using Open Code qualitative data analysis software. Results: The findings were grouped into four main themes. The first theme focused on the broader context of intimate relationships and sexual life of women with SMI. Sexual violence, assault and exploitation were reported by several respondents, underlining the vulnerability of women with SMI. Lack of control over sexual contact was associated with unwanted pregnancies. The second theme (childbearing and SMI) was around attitudes towards childbearing in women with SMI. Respondents described negative views from community members and some health professionals about the capacity of a woman with SMI to give birth and bring up a child. In most cases, it was assumed that a woman with SMI should not have a child at all. In the third theme (family planning for women with SMI), respondents spoke of their low access to information about family planning and systematic exclusion from existing services. In the fourth theme (preferred family planning services), the respondents had concerns about the ability of primary care workers to understand their specific family planning needs, but also valued proximity of the service and privacy. The importance of addressing health worker and community attitudes was emphasized. Conclusion: This study has provided in-depth perspectives from women with SMI about the broader context of their family planning experience, needs, barriers and how integrated primary care services could better meet their needs. Empowerment of women with SMI to access information and services needs to be an important focus of future efforts to improve the reproductive experiences of this vulnerable group.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is aimed at exploring mental health services for low-income women in the West Coast I Winelands Region of South Africa. In order to understand the extent to which such services are empowering, the accessibility and theoretical underpinnings of these services are investigated. It was found that although services appear to be available, they are often not very accessible. They also often lack a specific gender focus. In certain instances, services need to increase their accessibility in order to accommodate the restrictive environments of women in this region. As such, it is believed that services require greater integration in their approach to intervention concerning both gender and the origins of mental health problems. Results of this study also highlight areas on which future research could focus. These areas include language of service provision, how organizations understand available theories surrounding service provision, and the service needs of women in this region themselves.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is gemik op die ondersoek van geestesgesondheidsdienste vir vroue van lae-inkomste groepe in die Weskus I wynverbouingstreek van Suid Afrika.

Bevindinge toon dat dienste, albeit beskikbaar voorkom, dikwels nie baie toeganklik is nie. Dienste toon ook meestal 'n gebrekkige fokus ten opsigte van 'n spesifieke geslag. In sekere gevalle behoort die toeganklikheid van dienste verbeter te word in 'n poging om die beperkende omstandighede van vroue in hierdie streek tegemoet te kom. As sulks benodig dienste 'n hoër mate van integrasie in hul benadering tot intervensie, beide wat geslag en die oorsprong van geestesgesondheidsprobleme betref. Bevindinge lig ook areas uit waarop toekomstige navorsing kan fokus. Hierdie areas sluit die volgende in: die taal van diensvoorsiening, hoe organisasies beskikbare teorieë ten opsigte van diensvoorsiening verstaan, en die behoefts van die vroue in hierdie streek self ten opsigte van dienste.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the modern world, psychological problems like anxiety and depression are common phenomena in society. Dharma therapy is a Buddhist teaching-based therapeutic intervention which utilizes the Buddhist model of ending suffering to help clients to deal with psychological issues. In many cases, it has been shown to be effective. The present case study illustrates how the client, Mr. Peter Chan, who was suffering from anxiety, benefited from going through the intervention of Dharma Therapy. The article will describe what is Dharma Therapy, Mr. Chan’s psychological issues and how the seven steps of Dharma Therapy helped Mr. Chan to deal with his sufferings. Psychological tests administered before and after the therapeutic intervention showed improvement in all aspects of anxiety.

Abstract:
AbstractBackground: Sex work social cohesion (SWSC) is associated with reduced HIV vulnerabilities, yet little is known of its associations with mental health or violence. This is particularly salient to understand among gender-diverse sex workers who may experience criminalisation of sex work and same-gender sexual practices. This chapter explores SWSC and its associations with mental health and violence among sex workers in Jamaica.Methods: In collaboration with the Sex Work Association of Jamaica (SWAJ) and Jamaica AIDS Support for Life, we implemented a cross-sectional survey with a peer-driven sample of sex workers in Kingston, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was conducted to examine direct and indirect effects of SWSC on depressive symptoms and violence (from clients, intimate partners, and police), testing the mediating roles of sex work stigma and binge drinking. SWAJ developed an in-depth narrative of the lived experiences of a sex worker germane to understanding SWSC.Results: Participants (N = 340; mean age: 25.77, SD = 5.71) included 36.5% cisgender men, 29.7% transgender women, and 33.8% cisgender women. SEM results revealed that SWSC had significant direct and indirect effects on depressive symptoms. Sex work stigma partially mediated the relationship between SWSC and depressive symptoms. The direct path from SWSC to reduced violence was significant; sex work stigma partially mediated this relationship.Implications: Strengths-focused strategies can consider the multidimensional role that social cohesion plays in promoting health and safety among sex workers to further support the ways in which sex workers build community and advocate for rights.

Abstract:
Introduction: Trust in government to take care of its citizens may affect mental health outcomes such as anxiety and depression, particularly as measures become more stringent. The study aimed to investigate the associations between stringency of COVID-19 social distancing policies and mental health outcomes, and the moderating effects of trust in government and gender. Methods: The study consisted of secondary analysis of publicly available cross sectional data from a global online survey COVID-19 survey conducted between 20 March and 7 April 2020. There were 106,497 adult participants (18 years of age and over) from 58 countries. The main outcome measures were indices for depression and worries. The exposure measure was the stringency index. The effect modifier measures were gender and trust in government. Multivariable regression was conducted to determine the three-way interaction between the exposure, modifier and outcome measures, adjusting for age, income and education. Results: The median age of participants (56.4% women) was 37 years. Women had higher worries and depression than men. The proportion of people trusting (44%) and distrusting (45%) the government was almost the same. Among those who strongly trusted the government, an increase in policy stringency was associated with an increase in worries. Among men who distrusted the government, an increase in policy stringency was associated with an increase in depression, but in distrusting women there was an inversed Ushaped association between policy stringency and both worries and depression. Once policies exceeded the 50-point mark on the stringency index, women benefited from the most stringent policies, yet men did not, particularly men who strongly trust or distrust the government. Conclusion: As the stringency of public health measures increases, so too do depression and worries. For safe and effective public health measures, governments should develop strategies to increase trust in their actions.

Abstract:
Background: Maternal mental health problems, most often depression and anxiety, remain a major public health concern during the antenatal and postnatal periods. Some studies reported that high level of self-efficacy in pregnant women might improve maternal prenatal care. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family support and self- efficacy among pregnant women in Yogyakarta. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Kotagede I Community Health Centre, Yogyakarta from October 2017 to July 2018. A total of 30 primigravida dan multigravida women with the third trimester of gestational age was selected for this study. The dependent variable was self-efficacy of pregnant women. The independent variable was family support. The study subjects were selected by accidental sampling. The primary data were collected using family support and maternal confidence questionnaires. The data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: A total of 93.3% of pregnant women had strong family support. The majority of pregnant women possessed high levels of self-efficacy (90%). Good family support increased the self-efficacy of pregnant women (OR= 113.40; 95% CI= 6.26 to 2054.00; p &lt;0.001). Conclusion: Good family support increases the self-efficacy of pregnant women.

Abstract:
Background. Untreated maternal mental health disorders can have devastating sequelae for the mother and child. For women who are currently or planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding, a critical question is whether the benefits of treating psychiatric illness with pharmacologic interventions outweigh the harms for mother and child. Methods. We conducted a systematic review to assess the benefits and harms of pharmacologic interventions compared with placebo, no treatment, or other pharmacologic interventions for pregnant and postpartum women with mental health disorders. We searched four databases and other sources for evidence available from inception through June 5, 2020 and surveilled the literature through March 2, 2021; dually screened the results; and analyzed eligible studies. We included studies of pregnant, postpartum, or reproductive-age women with a new or preexisting diagnosis of a mental health disorder treated with pharmacotherapy; we excluded psychotherapy. Eligible comparators included women with the disorder but no pharmacotherapy or women who discontinued the pharmacotherapy before pregnancy. Results. A total of 164 studies (168 articles) met eligibility criteria. Brexanolone for depression onset in the third trimester or in the postpartum period probably improves depressive symptoms at 30 days (least square mean difference in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, -2.6; p=0.02; N=209) when compared with placebo. Sertraline for postpartum depression may improve response (calculated relative risk [RR], 2.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95 to 5.24; N=36), remission (calculated RR, 2.51; 95% CI, 0.94 to 6.70; N=36), and depressive symptoms (p-values ranging from 0.01 to 0.05) when compared with placebo. Discontinuing use of mood stabilizers during pregnancy may increase recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 2.2; 95% CI, 1.2 to 4.2; N=89) and reduce time to recurrence of mood disorders (2 vs. 28 weeks, AHR, 12.1; 95% CI, 1.6 to 91; N=26) for bipolar disorder when compared with continued use. Brexanolone for depression onset in the third trimester or in the postpartum period may increase the risk of sedation or somnolence, leading to dose interruption or reduction when compared with placebo (5% vs. 0%). More than 95 percent of studies reporting on harms were observational in design and unable to fully account for confounding. These studies suggested some associations between benzodiazepine exposure before conception and ectopic pregnancy; between specific antidepressants during pregnancy and adverse maternal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and spontaneous abortion, and child outcomes such as respiratory issues, low Apgar scores, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, depression in children, and autism spectrum disorder; between quetiapine or olanzapine and gestational diabetes; and between benzodiazepine and neonatal intensive care admissions. Causality cannot be inferred from these studies. We found insufficient evidence on benefits and harms from comparative effectiveness studies, with one exception: one study suggested a higher risk of overall congenital anomalies (adjusted RR [ARR], 1.85; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.78; N=2,608) and cardiac anomalies (ARR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.17 to 4.34; N=2,608) for lithium compared with lamotrigine during first- trimester exposure. Conclusions. Few studies have been conducted in pregnant and postpartum women on the benefits of pharmacotherapy; many studies report on harms but are of low quality. The limited evidence available is consistent with some benefit, and some studies suggested increased adverse events. However, because these studies could not rule out underlying disease severity as the cause of the association, the causal link between the exposure and adverse events is unclear. Patients and clinicians need to make an informed, collaborative decision on treatment choices.
