Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to assess how routine screening and treatment for psychiatric, psychosocial, and substance use issues among pregnant women in the Netherlands can improve outcomes for vulnerable children, as part of the national initiative 'The first 1000 days.'
- - It uses data from midwifery and hospital practices that employed the Mind2Care screening tool, analyzing information from over 22,000 pregnant women to identify risk factors and care recommendations.
- - Results show that 24% of women have at least one risk factor for these issues, with 31% receiving specific advice based on their screening, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary care despite the challenges in integrating such systematic approaches into obstetrical care.
The effect of offering a third-trimester routine ultrasound on pregnancy-specific anxiety and mother-to-infant bonding in low-risk women: A pragmatic cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of offering third-trimester routine ultrasounds on pregnancy-specific anxiety and mother-to-infant bonding among 1,275 low-risk women in a Dutch trial.
- While there was no overall effect found on anxiety or bonding, women with higher depressive symptoms or greater satisfaction with the ultrasound experienced slightly improved bonding.
- The findings suggest limited psychological benefits from routine ultrasounds for most women, indicating that there is no strong justification for offering them to all pregnant women solely for mental health reasons.
Purpose: This study aimed to reveal information that can be used for composing a prehabilitation program tailored to elderly gynecological oncological patients and is applicable to healthcare professionals. We investigated possible content and indications for prehabilitation, and what potential barriers might exist.
Materials And Methods: Because of the primary exploratory study aim, inductive thematic template analysis on semi-structured interviews with gynecologic oncological patients aged ≥60 years and healthcare professionals were used.
