Resumption of sexual activity after childbirth and its related factors in Spanish women, a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: The resumption of sexual activity (RSA) after childbirth is problematic for many women; however, it is rarely addressed as a whole in consultation with a midwife.

Objective: to describe the sexual function of women in the postpartum period and its relationship with their personal characteristics. To make a proposal adapted to their needs in conjunction with a midwife.

Does the birth plan match what is relevant to women? Preferences of Spanish women when giving birth.

Background: To support women in making shared decisions, it is important to know what is relevant to them. The aim is to explore which of the options included in birth plans (BP) are of most interest to women, and which are more controversial. In addition, the possible association of this variability with personal characteristics.

Anxiety and depression in pregnancy: associated variables during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Objective: To assess the association between age, parity, nationality, educational level, employment and partner support with depression and anxiety during pregnancy. To determine the impact of the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic on the anxiety and depression levels of the participants.

Method: Cross-sectional descriptive correlational study carried out in the Osakidetza/Basque Health Service, Primary Care, Bizkaia (Spain).

Development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of a digital questionnaire for the evaluation of perinatal psychosocial needs.

Background: If the purpose of maternal education is for women to take control of their own health and that of their family in the process, it is essential to have a simple instrument that allows them to self-assess, globally, how prepared they are to face future childbirth and maternity. As there is nothing similar in our area, the objective of this study was to design a complete, specific measurement questionnaire, with good metric quality and in digital format, for the assessment of perinatal psychosocial needs.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, to evaluate the psychometric properties of a digital measurement questionnaire.

Development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of a digital questionnaire for the self-management of health and well-being in the postpartum period.

Background: Despite the fact that the Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health (2016-2030) recognises the special importance of care for women during the postpartum period, thus highlighting the need to identify and measure any condition that may affect the welfare of pregnant women in any way, this is one of the most neglected stages in the health system. Given the absence in our area of global, efficient instruments, the objective of this study was to design a complete, specific measurement tool with good metric qualities in digital format for the evaluation of self-reported health and well-being during the puerperium, to conform to what was proposed by the ICHOM.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of a digital measurement tool.

Coping strategies during pregnancy and their relationship with anxiety and depression.

How individuals perceive and cope with stressful situations may determine their level of anxiety or depression. The identification of coping strategies (CS) in pregnancy could help prevent depression and anxiety (D&A), and their consequent effects on the health of the mother and the baby. A cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was conducted to identify the CS most commonly used by pregnant women in a Spanish population and to evaluate the association of these CS with D&A.

Attitudes toward medicalization in childbirth and their relationship with locus of control and coping in a Spanish population.

The dominant model of childbirth in most Western countries is medicalized childbirth. Women's beliefs about whether childbirth should be a medicalized process to a greater or lesser degree may be related, in addition to contextual factors, to internal factors. The objective of the study is to find out if women's locus of control (LC) and stress coping strategies (CS) are related to having a more favourable or less favourable attitude towards medicalization (ATMC).

Design of the Maternal Website EMAeHealth That Supports Decision-Making During Pregnancy and in the Postpartum Period: Collaborative Action Research Study.

Background: Despite the benefit maternal education has for women, it needs new tools to increase its effectiveness and scope, in tune with the needs of current users.

Objective: We attempted to develop a multifunctional personalized eHealth platform aimed at the self-management of health in relation to maternity, which can be considered a flexible and adaptable maternal education tool.

Methods: The International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) were applied.

Development of two instruments for assessing maternity health needs: protocol of a clinimetric study.

Background: There is an unquestionable need to adapt health care to the needs of each woman, to foster her self-confidence and provide her with the autonomy to manage her own maternity. This involves empowering her to choose and face her model of childbirth and childcare responsibly. The range of self-management health needs tests offered by the scientific community at this stage of life is practically non-existent.

Engaging primary care professionals in collaborative processes for optimising type 2 diabetes prevention practice: the PREDIAPS cluster randomised type II hybrid implementation trial.

Background: There is a lack of evidence concerning the effectiveness of different strategies to engage healthcare professionals in collaborative processes that seek to optimise clinical practice. The PREDIAPS project aims to assess the effect of different primary health care (PHC) providers' engagement procedures in the creation and execution of a facilitated interprofessional collaborative process to optimise the integration of the recommended clinical practice for the prevention of type-2 diabetes (T2D) in routine PHC.

Methods: This will be a randomised cluster type II hybrid implementation trial.

Efficiency of "Prescribe Vida Saludable", a health promotion innovation. Pilot phase.

Objective: "Prescribe Vida Saludable" (PVS) is an organisational innovation designed to optimise the promotion of multiple healthy habits in primary healthcare. It aims to estimate the cost effectiveness and cost-utility of prescribing physical activity in the pilot phase of the PVS programme, compared to the routine clinical practice of promoting physical activity in primary healthcare.

Methods: An economic evaluation of the quasi-experimental pilot phase of PVS was carried out.

Framework for the establishment of a feasible, tailored and effective perinatal education programme.

Background: Antenatal education needs to be renewed and adapted to the needs of women.

Objectives: to assess women needs, identify factors that influence the desired outcomes, and propose a framework for developing new perinatal education based on the guidance published by the UK Medical Research Council for the development and evaluation of complex interventions in primary care.

Methods: For this study: (a) four focus group sessions were held from October to November 2010 in Bizkaia (Spain) with 30 women exploring their needs during pregnancy and postpartum; (b) two literature reviews were conducted on women's needs at these times and theoretical models of healthcare education; and (c) seven discussion and consensus sessions were run with a group of experts composed of midwifes, gynaecologists, paediatricians, and paediatric and postpartum nurses.
