Objective: The aim of this study was to explore parents' experiences of their relationships and interactions with healthcare professionals (HCPs) during care related to prenatal diagnosis and termination of pregnancy for foetal anomaly (TOPFA).
Methods: A qualitative approach was used. Participants included 33 parents (23 women and 10 men) from Northern Ireland (n = 11) and Ireland (n = 22) who had a TOPFA.
Aims: We synthesised the best-available evidence on economic evaluations of gender-transformative interventions that prevent unintended pregnancy and promote sexual-health in adolescents. We also assessed the methodological quality of the economic-evaluation studies and identified gaps in the economic-evaluation evidence.
Design: A systematic review (SR) of economic evaluations reported using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 2020.
Background: The need to engage boys in gender-transformative relationships and sexuality education (RSE) to reduce adolescent pregnancy is endorsed by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of on the avoidance of unprotected sex and other sexual health outcomes.
Design: A cluster randomised trial, incorporating health economics and process evaluations.
Background: Research highlights the importance of compassionate communication, adequate delivery of information, and professional support to help alleviate parental distress following pregnancy loss. However, many healthcare professionals do not feel sufficiently trained to deal with pregnancy loss in practice. We aimed to address this deficiency with an evidence-informed educational intervention to increase knowledge, skills, self-awareness, and confidence regarding pregnancy loss among UK nursing students.
