Impact of integrating family planning with maternal and child health on uptake of contraception
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of integrating family planning with maternal and child health (FP-MCH) on the uptake of modern contraceptive methods (MCMs) and related health outcomes in two rural districts of Sindh, Pakistan using a quasi-experimental control before-after study design. Intervention package integrated FP with MCH in the existing public sector at facility and community levels. This included capacity building of health care…
Parent’s experiences of the impact of ethnicity and skin pigmentation on perinatal care
These findings underscore the urgent need for systemic reforms aimed at ensuring culturally safe and anti-racist practice, addressing communication barriers, and reducing discriminatory practices to enhance healthcare experiences and outcomes for ethnic minority parents. This includes training all healthcare staff around cultural safety
Predictors of voluntary uptake of modern contraceptive methods in rural Sindh, Pakistan
The use of modern contraceptive methods (MCMs) has been stagnant for the last decade in Pakistan. The second most populous province, Sindh reports 25% of MCMs use. Various factors including demographics and health services utilization are associated with the uptake of family planning services. This research aimed to identify and assess specific predictors of MCMs among women aged 15–49 in two districts of Sindh-Matiari and Badin. A cross-sectiona…
Association of child weight with attendance at a healthy lifestyle service among women with obesity during pregnancy
Women with obesity during pregnancy are at increased risk of excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) and other maternal and infant adverse outcomes, which all potentially increase childhood obesity. This study explored infant weight outcomes for women with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2 who were offered an antenatal healthy lifestyle service. A retrospective cohort study, including linking data from two separate health care Trusts, was undert…
Cutaneous Perfusion Dynamics of the Lower Abdomen in Healthy Normal Weight, Overweight and Obese Women
Cutaneous 'perforator' mapping of the abdomen (via hot spot appearance) in healthy women, as a potential and future method for risk of perfusion-dependent wound healing complications, reveals that bedside mapping of skin perfusion is feasible over a short interval. Hot spot number was not influenced by BMI or indicators of central fat distribution (abdominal circumference) indicating variability in an individual's vascular anatomy. This study pro…
Inter-Generational Differences in Perinatal Health Behaviours
This study ethnicity and migration identifies some important differences between ethnic groups with different migration histories, therefore indicating that healthcare professionals should consider eliciting full migration histories to improve care. The impact of these differences on perinatal outcomes is a priority for future research

Migrant women’s experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and maternity care in European countries
The weight-loss experience
Weight loss was a difficult task, with physical, social, behavioural and environmental elements that appeared to assist and inhibit weight-loss efforts concurrently. Health professionals might need to better understand the day-to-day challenges of dieters in order to provide more effective, tailored treatments. Future research should look to investigate the psycho-social consequences of weight-loss dieting, in particular self-imposed social exclu…
Undergraduate UK nutrition education might not adequately address weight management
Objective Weight management appears to be multidimensional and complex, and registered nutritionists might work to educate, promote and provide weight-management services to communities, groups and individuals. However, nutrition education might not adequately reflect the weight-management requirements of individuals and groups. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the Association for Nutrition’s undergraduate core competency framew…
