A mixed methods study protocol to develop an educational program based on salutogenesis theory to improve the postpartum quality of life among nulliparous women.

Research on postpartum quality of life (QoL) often focuses on preventing adverse health outcomes rather than promoting positive health and well-being (salutogenesis). While Salutogenesis theory (ST) has been shown to enhance the sense of coherence (SOC), its application in pregnancy and childbirth is limited. This paper presents a mixed-methods protocol for developing a salutogenic educational program to improve postpartum QoL and maternal health outcomes.

Comparative efficacy of transdermal nitroglycerin and oral nifedipine in managing preterm labor: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Preterm delivery is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of transdermal nitroglycerin and oral nifedipine in managing preterm labor.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for the randomized controlled trials comparing the effectiveness of nitroglycerin vs.

Healing Rates and Dressing Frequency of Silver Foam Dressings in Paediatric Burns: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Silver foam dressings have been extensively used in the management of burn injuries; however, its application in children requires elucidation. A literature search was conducted from database inception to October 2023. Eligible studies reported paediatrics patients under 21 years of age receiving silver dressings for burns or scalds.

Evaluating the impact of undergraduate ophthalmology education on medical students' competency in eye care: a cross-sectional study in Jordan.

Background: Ophthalmology is a crucial aspect of primary care, often featuring prominently in both general practice and emergency settings. With over 2 billion individuals worldwide affected by visual impairment, proficiency in basic ophthalmology is essential for general practitioners and emergency physicians.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 624 medical students from six universities in Jordan.

Benefits of negative pressure wound therapy in skin grafts: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a widely used adjunct for wound healing and an alternative to conventional dressings for skin grafts. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effectiveness of NPWT versus conventional dressings in this population through randomised control trials (RCTs).

Methods: A literature search in several databases was conducted from inception to October 2023.
