Women's experiences of maternity care in high-income countries during the pandemic health system shock: A follow-up systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis
Introduction: COVID-19 disrupted healthcare systems globally, particularly challenging maternity services which continued to be operated as an essential service. Reconfigurations were implemented to continue providing care in a safe manner and in line with infection control restrictions. This systematic review of women's experiences of maternity care during the COVID-19 pandemic in high-income countries (HICs), aimed to synthesize published liter…
Preconception Perceptions, Knowledge and Behaviours of Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Study
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications. While considerable attention has been paid to the management of GDM during pregnancy, women's perceptions of GDM, knowledge of associated risk factors and health behaviours before and between pregnancies are less well understood, despite their importance for informing diabetes prevention programmes. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: To explore women's knowledge of G…
Understanding care-seeking of pregnant women from underserved groups: A systematic review and meta-ethnography
Mothering Mobilities and Maternalised Landscapes: Towards Mum‐Friendly Cities
This paper argues for the importance of centring mothers in the design and conceptualisation of ‘care‐full’ and compassionate cities and communities. Focusing primarily on the experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood ‐ particularly in relation to babies and toddlers ‐ it reviews and unites literature on motherhood on the move and ‘caringscapes’, including caring and care‐full cities and compassionate communities. While existing literature on…
Knights in shining armour and (M)others in life jackets: Women’s experiences of advocating for care alone when suffering recurrent early pregnancy loss during the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic
This study affirms recent findings of devalued maternity care during the pandemic, and magnification of pre-pandemic issues with EPL care, such as a lack of support or perceived empathy
Freedom for some, but not for Mum: The reproductive injustice associated with pandemic ‘Freedom Day’ for perinatal women in the United Kingdom
Introduction: Healthcare services for pregnant and postpartum ('perinatal') women were reconfigured significantly at the advent and for the duration of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and despite the United Kingdom announcing 'Freedom Day' on 19 July 2021 (whereafter all legal lockdown-related restrictions were lifted), restrictions to maternity (antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal) services remained. This study presents data from eight perinatal wome…
Postpartum recovery after severe maternal morbidity in Kilifi, Kenya: A grounded theory of recovery trajectories beyond 42 days
INTRODUCTION: The burden of severe maternal morbidity is highest in sub-Saharan Africa, and its relative contribution to maternal (ill) health may increase as maternal mortality continues to fall. Women's perspective of their long-term recovery following severe morbidity beyond the standard 42-day postpartum period remains largely unexplored. METHODS: This woman-centred, grounded theory study was nested within the Pregnancy Care Integrating Trans…
Experiences of successful physical activity maintenance among adults with type 2 diabetes: A theory-based qualitative study
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 70% of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) fail to achieve the 150 minutes of weekly physical activity (PA) recommended for self-management. Interventions to promote PA adoption in T2D rarely achieve stable maintenance. Analysis of lived experiences of adults with T2D who have successfully transitioned to long-term PA maintenance can build understanding of factors influencing long-term maintenance. DESIGN: Semi-structured i…
Easier, but not easy: Testing a grounded theory of breastfeeding experiences among women with larger birthweight infants
OBJECTIVE: Grounded Theory has previously been used to explore breastfeeding practices amongst average birthweight infants and these working hypotheses can be 'tested' in new contexts. A pre-existing Grounded Theory was applied to the context of women who gave birth to larger birthweight infants (≥4,000 g) to understand whether perceptions and practices of infant feeding were distinct. DESIGN: A nested qualitative study analysed data from N = 10 …
Psychosocial and Clinical Associations of Fatigue Severity and Fatigue-Related Impairment in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Debilitating fatigue is common in people living with kidney disease and often persists after a kidney transplant. Current understanding of fatigue is centered around pathophysiological processes. Little is known about the role of cognitive and behavioral factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of these factors to fatigue among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). A cross-sectional study of 174 adult KTRs who completed onli…
Vivre un décès périnatal en contexte de pandémie
La COVID-19 a entraîné des changements dans les services de santé périnataux. Une étude transversale mixte réalisée auprès de 58 femmes québécoises ayant vécu le décès de leur enfant en période périnatale durant la pandémie permet d’identifier les enjeux de ce parcours parental complexifié et de proposer une offre de soins et services sécuritaires lors d’autres crises sanitaires
Psychological Distress in Women Living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Role of Illness Perceptions
Illness perceptions predict distress in patients with chronic kidney disease
Illness perceptions hold a principal role in explaining distress in CKD, relative to other traditional covariates. For this reason, illness perceptions should be addressed as a primary modifiable component in the development of distress in CKD
Infant feeding practices among macrosomic infants: A prospective cohort study
The health benefits of breastfeeding are well recognised, but breastfeeding rates worldwide remain suboptimal. Breastfeeding outcomes have yet to be explored among women who give birth to macrosomic (birthweight ≥4000 g) infants, a cohort for whom the benefits of breastfeeding may be particularly valuable, offering protection against later-life morbidity associated with macrosomia. This longitudinal prospective cohort study aimed to identify whet…
Project20: Interpreter services for pregnant women with social risk factors in England: what works, for whom, in what circumstances, and how
The findings of this study contribute to concerns highlighted in previous literature around interpreter services in the wider healthcare arena, particularly around the lack of regulation and access to high-quality interpretation. This is thought to have a significant effect on pregnant women who are living socially complex lives as they are not able to communicate their concerns and access support. This not only impacts on their safety and pregna…
Addressing inequities in maternal health among women living in communities of social disadvantage and ethnic diversity
The response to the coronavirus outbreak and how the disease and its societal consequences pose risks to already vulnerable groups such those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and ethnic minority groups. Researchers and community groups analysed how the COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated persisting vulnerabilities, socio-economic and structural disadvantage and discrimination faced by many communities of social disadvantage and ethnic diversit…
Psychological flexibility, self-compassion and daily functioning in chronic pain
To what extent does maternal body mass index predict intentions, attitudes, or practices of early infant feeding
Public health guidelines recommend women establish and maintain exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months postpartum. Women with a body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) in the overweight or obese range are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than healthy weight women. Evidence for psychological mechanisms of this association using validated methods of measurement is limited, but factors such as attitudes and intentions for infant feeding are im…
Measures of psychosocial factors that may influence help-seeking behaviour in cancer: A systematic review of psychometric properties
Advanced stage cancer is frequently attributed to delays in presentation to a healthcare professional. To reduce undue delay, it is imperative to understand the reasons underlying help-seeking behaviour and to measure those using valid and reliable tools. This systematic review aimed to identify how studies have measured psychosocial factors affecting time to presentation for (potential) cancer symptoms. A total of 35 studies were included. Most …
A pilot randomised test of a self-affirmation implementation intention intervention to reduce dietary salt intake
Self-affirmation may reduce defensive processing towards health messages. We tested the effects of a self-affirmation implementation intentional intervention with regard to salt risk message acceptance, estimates of daily-recommended intake and self-reported intake. Participants ( n = 65) who consumed over 6 g/day of salt were randomised into three conditions: self-affirmation, self-affirming implementation intention and control. Participants att…
Brief report: Self-compassion, physical health and the mediating role of health-promoting behaviours
To test the hypothesis that self-compassion predicts better physical health and that this is partially mediated through health-promoting behaviours, 147 adults completed self-report measures of self-compassion, health-promoting behaviours and physical health. Self-compassion and health-promoting behaviours were negatively associated with physical symptom scores. Self-compassion was positively associated with health-promoting behaviours. A bootstr…

Illness Perceptions in Patients on Predialysis Care: Associations With Time Until Start of Dialysis and Decline of Kidney Function
OBJECTIVES: Illness perceptions in patients with end-stage renal disease are associated with nonadherence and increased mortality. However, no data are available regarding the relationship between illness perceptions and accelerated disease progression in predialysis patients. METHODS: A total of 416 incident predialysis patients participating in a prospective cohort (PREPARE-2, Predialysis Patient Record-2) completed the Revised Illness Percepti…
Social cognitive predictors of intention to test for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in those affected by haemophilia and other clotting disorders
Individuals with bleeding disorders are at increased risk of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. This study explored social cognitive predictors of screening intentions. Ninety men and women with bleeding disorders, recruited through the Haemophilia Society, completed an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour questionnaire to predict intention to screen for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Extended Theory of Planned Behaviour variables accounted f…
Illness representations and concurrent depression symptoms in haemodialysis patients
We examined the association between illness perceptions and depression symptoms in established haemodialysis patients (HD). Two hundred and fifteen patients completed the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI). Patients with a BDI ≥ 16 were termed as 'depressed'. Lower personal control and illness coherence, and greater perceived consequences were all related to depression significantly increasing the …
