Prenatal coparenting and attachment style in Japanese pregnant women: A cross-sectional survey.

Developing prenatal coparenting is important for preparing couples for parenting immediately after childbirth, but knowledge of prenatal coparenting remains limited. Adult attachment style has been shown to be one of the factors during pregnancy that predict coparenting after childbirth, as well as a significant factor in the developmental process of the coparenting relationship. The present study mainly examines the relationship between prenatal coparenting as perceived by pregnant women and their attachment style.

Changes in Correlates of Health-Related Quality of Life Between Children with Spina Bifida and Their Parents as Influenced by Their Level of Independence in Toileting Self-Management: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Spina bifida (SB) leads to various complications, such as bladder and bowel disorders, which can significantly impact quality of life (QOL). Parents of children with SB are often heavily involved in bladder and bowel management, which can affect their own QOL. Therefore, transitioning to independent bladder and bowel management is pivotal because it influences the QOL of both children with SB and their parents.

Parent-youth interactions: Transitioning to toileting self-management in spina bifida patients.

Purpose: Spina bifida (SB) involves neurogenic bladder and bowel deficits. While parents manage the bladder and bowel disorders of their youth in the early years, the youth themselves must eventually take responsibility for their own management. However, the experience of shifting responsibility for complex toilet management from the parents to the youth has not been thoroughly investigated.

Development and Validation of the Japanese Version of Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Children (QUALAS-C-J).

Background: We previously developed the Japanese version of The Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Teenagers, a health-related quality-of-life instrument specific to children aged 13-17 years with spina bifida (SB). The Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Children is a version of this questionnaire for children aged 8-12 years. The purpose of this study was to develop a Japanese version of the Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Children (QUALAS-C-J) and verify its reliability and validity.

Development and validation of the Japanese version of the Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Teenagers (QUALAS-T-J).

Background: Spina bifida (SB) is the second-most common birth defect in Japan. In recent years, health-related quality of life measurements have been used to assess the psychosocial status of children with SB. The Quality of Life Assessment of Spina Bifida in Teenagers (QUALAS-T) is a self-reported questionnaire for subjects aged 13-17 years with SB.

Feasibility and short-term impact of the "case study in-house group training program for family nursing" at medical facilities.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and short-term impact of case study training in family nursing care targeting midlevel nursing professionals. The intervention group participated in four 90-minute case study training sessions over 6 months, while the control group participated in two 90-minute lectures. Using primary outcome variables as evaluation indexes, we measured the participants' total scores on the Family Importance in Nursing Care Scale and 4 subitems 3 times (before, immediately after and 1 month after training) from May 2014 to March 2015 and then conducted 2-way repeated-measure analysis of variance.

Living with stillborn babies as family members: Japanese women who experienced intrauterine fetal death after 28 weeks gestation.

My purpose in this qualitative research was to describe the meaning of fetal death in the lives of Japanese women in a local community by interviewing women who experienced intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) after 28 weeks of gestation in chronological order from the time they were told of the fetal death to the present day. The study included 17 women who had experienced fetal death and who raised the dead child through "the development process of becoming a parent" and "the grieving process after the loss of a child," comprising a year-long grieving process.
