NCT06520566
The study aims to build on the knowledge of the United States' ongoing maternal health crisis for Black birthing people. The study team will take a holistic focused approach to build on the experiences of Black women perinatal nurses, Black women/birthing people, and their care partners enrolled in the Holistic Care Partner Program (HCP) to understand the program's feasibility and acceptability. HCP was developed at NYU Langone Health by Blank women-led perinatal nurses to address the effects of obstetric racism and the associated fear of pregnancy and birth faced by Black women and birthing people. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study will focus on understanding HCP's acceptability and feasibility via surveys and qualitative interviews with Black women and birthing people and their partners/support persons to identify strategies and recommendations for intervention improvement. Exploratory analysis of maternal and infant outcomes will be conducted using a propensity score matched historical control group.
NCT05474534
This pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a mobile neurofeedback intervention for increasing maternal overall well-being, and measuring whether mothers experience any subsequent reductions in trauma symptoms and parenting stress and enhancements in regard to emotional regulation, parenting sensitivity and positive parenting behaviors, as well as infant socio-emotional development and behavioral outcomes (i.e., crying, fussing) among postpartum mothers with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The investigators hypothesize that mothers who receive the neurofeedback intervention will demonstrate larger decreases in mental health symptoms, greater improvements in emotional regulation and observed parenting behaviors, increased feelings of parenting competency, decreased feelings of parenting stress, and reductions in the potential for child maltreatment than mothers in the control group. The investigators also hypothesize that infants of mothers who receive the neurofeedback intervention will demonstrate less crying and fussiness and higher scores on socio-emotional developmental assessments than infants of mothers in the control group at the posttest interval.
NCT06054412
The proposed study will collect novel data evaluating the feasibility of the NFB training program delivered in an outpatient mental health setting and its influence on mothers' overall sense of well-being, and further investigate whether enhanced well-being is associated with positive changes in emotion regulation capacities, trauma-related mental health symptoms, parenting behaviors and attitudes, and infant behavioral outcomes (i.e., crying, fussing) among postpartum mothers with a history of childhood trauma and clinically concerning trauma-related mental health symptoms.
NCT06655207
Oli is a predictive, non-invasive device, intended to be placed on the participant's maternal abdomen during the intrapartum period, which can alert healthcare professionals of an impending cumulative blood loss of ≥500 ml (abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding) or cumulative blood loss of ≥1000ml (postpartum haemorrhage) at least 1 hour in advance of birth. This study is being undertaken to assess the performance of Oli measuring cumulative blood loss ≥500ml and ≥1000ml, as well as evaluate its safety profile.
NCT04421235
The number of women who are incarcerated in the U.S. has increased dramatically over the past 20 years-over 750%, or from 13,258 in 1980 to 111,616 in 2016. Arkansas incarcerates 92 women per 100,000 population compared to 57 per 100,000 average across all states, ranking the state as the 8th highest in the nation. Over 75% of incarcerated women are of childbearing age and about 4% are pregnant upon intake. However, little is known about the population of women who have become incarcerated while pregnant in Arkansas - including the outcomes of these women and their children and how these outcomes may vary in relation to services that are received during incarceration. This research study aims to first expand knowledge on incarcerated women in Arkansas by using administrative data to retrospectively examine the health status and outcomes of pregnant women who were incarcerated in state prison by Arkansas from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2019 (a five-year cohort; Aim 1). Then, we will lay the groundwork for and subsequently analyze data on outcomes and perspectives of women who have been incarcerated in Arkansas while pregnant (Aims 2 and 3). We will also seek to understand the feasibility and acceptability of elements of an enhanced support program for incarcerated pregnant women recently launched via a collaboration between Arkansas Department of Corrections and UAMS.
NCT04601987
See https://studypages.com/s/healthy-moms-study-765273 This individual-level randomized trial involves pregnant women followed for at least 6 months after delivery, to compare the effects of providing two "attention-control" counseling interventions designed to increase pregnant women's awareness of either: 1. the maternal health benefits of breastfeeding, or 2. the health benefits of smoke-free homes
NCT06537973
Purpose of the research: This study aimed to examine the effects of individualized care and counseling given to mothers in the first trimester after birth on maternal attachment, maternal self-efficacy and maternal function. In this context, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: 1. Individualized care and counseling does not have a significant effect on the level of maternal attachment. 2. Individualized care and counseling does not have a positive effect on mothers\' self-efficacy perceptions. 3. Individualized care and counseling does not have a significant effect on the gain of maternal function. The study consists of experimental and control groups. The mothers of the experimental group will be interviewed in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th postpartum weeks, and various surveys will be administered through counseling. Control group mothers will not be given any training or counseling by the researcher other than the standard care and services offered in the hospital. The measurement tools applied to the experimental group mothers will be simultaneously applied to the control group mothers.
NCT05782660
During the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts held a lottery to allocate cash benefits to its residents for ten months. Using data from the Chelsea Eats program, the investigators propose to study the impact of the cash benefit on reproductive and perinatal health.
NCT05365815
This study is being conducted to determine if a multi-level intervention for delivering maternity care can improve patient trust and engagement among Black birthing people.
NCT04514276
Due to the fetoneonatal pathway it is possible to identify pregnant women with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction or pre-eclampsia in early stages (from 10th week of pregnancy). Women whose pregnancy is considered high-risk receives risk-adapted prenatal treatment as well as certain treatments for their newborn and infant until 1 year of age. The tasks of all involved persons are defined by standard operating procedures (SOP)
NCT02862912
This study aims to determine whether or not spinal anesthesia with the local anesthetic drug, chloroprocaine, wears off faster than the local anesthetic drug, bupivacaine, and results in faster discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit after surgery.
NCT03890653
The World Bank and the government of Nigeria are implementing a results-based financing (RBF) project for the states of Nasarawa, Adamawa, and Ondo. This project provides incentives for improving performance at critical levels within the Nigerian health system and aims to address some of these challenges. The primary goal of the impact evaluation of this project is to determine if providing financial incentives linked directly to performance increases the quantity and quality of maternal and child health (MCH) services. In each of the three selected States,the project finances the following interventions: 1. Performance incentives to State Government and Local Government (LGA) agencies that are triggered by Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) that reflect strengthened supervision and enhanced operational support for improving health systems performance. These performance incentives would be paid out on an annual basis. 2. In half of the LGAs in each state, one facility per ward will receive Performance-Based Financing (PBF) wherein payments are made directly to individual health facilities based on the quantity and quality of a set of pre-defined services provided by each facility. These performance incentives would be paid out on a quarterly basis. 3. In the other half of the LGAs in each state one facility per ward will receive Decentralized Facility Financing (DFF) or equivalent financing that is not be linked to any service delivery targets. These payments would be made on a quarterly basis. The evaluation of the PBF arm, which consists of making payments to health facilities conditional on performance, but within an environment of comparable levels of overall financing, will rely on experimental assignment. The effect of the PBF intervention will be identified by comparing outcomes in the LGAs receiving PBF versus those receiving DFF in the three project states. In each of these three States, the LGAs will be randomly assigned to either the PBF package or to the DFF package.
