Article Synopsis
- A growing number of women are being hospitalized for high-risk pregnancies due to various medical and societal factors, leading to increased uncertainty and stress.
- The study aimed to translate and adapt the USS-HRPV scale to systematically measure these feelings in women living in German-speaking areas.
- The process involved translating the scale, conducting interviews with affected women and midwives, and using the Content Validity Index to modify the instrument, resulting in the removal of 44 original items and changes to 28 for better clarity.
Introduction: Although clinicians recognize that postoperative wound management in patients with vulvar cancer (VC) is challenging, the prevalence and risk factors for different types of short-term wound complications (WCs) remain unclear. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the period prevalence of postoperative short-term WCs and (2) to identify risk factors associated with short-term WCs in patients with VC.
Method: In a cross-sectional study in a Swiss University Hospital, a sample of 108 patients with VC treated surgically (and free of WCs at the time of admission) was included.
