Women's experiences of interventions for fear of childbirth in the perinatal period: A meta-synthesis of qualitative research evidence

IssueFear of childbirth (FOC) can be debilitating, impacting women's lives in pregnancy, the puerperium and beyond. Research investigated various interventions for FOC in the perinatal period, but there been no synthesis of the experiences of women who engaged with these interventions, which would inform clinical practice guidance and the development of future interventions.AimTo conduct a review and synthesis of qualitative studies of interventions for fear of childbirth in the perinatal period and women's experiences of them.MethodsA meta-synthesis was performed to examine all relevant qualitative studies describing women's experiences of interventions for FOC, in all languages. A comprehensive search of relevant databases from 1978 to 2019 was conducted. In total, following appraisal, seven qualitative studies were eligible for inclusion. The findings were integrated using thematic synthesis for the final stages in the thematic analysis.FindingsOne overarching theme “Ownership of Childbirth” and three analytical themes “Facing the fear”, “Feeling empowered”, “Managing the fear with a sense of security” were generated through the synthesis. There were no studies outside of Scandinavia located.DiscussionThis meta-synthesis provides a new way to describe the process of moving from fear to “Ownership of childbirth”. The first step in the process appears to be acknowledging and identifying the individual's fears. Women can be empowered to self-manage FOC but may be influenced by external factors such as the support of partners and staff.ConclusionThese findings provide evidence to inform the development of future interventions for FOC and highlight the need for further qualitative research globally.     

Comfort with discussions about death,religiosity, and attitudes about end‐of‐life care

In end‐of‐life (EOL) care research, death anxiety and religiosity are often overlooked. Terror management theory (TMT) may provide a useful conceptual model with which to examine how comfort discussing death and religiosity influence attitudes related to EOL care. A telephone‐based survey was conducted among community‐dwelling adults in the Unites States. Via random sampling, with over‐sampling of Hispanics/African Americans, 123 completed survey interviews (response rate = 46%) were analyzed. Respondents were more likely to have better attitudes toward EOL care if they were older or white, religiously active, and comfortable with the subject of death. Religiosity and comfort discussing death were correlated with each other and remained significant predictors of attitudes about EOL care even without demographic covariates. Findings suggest that promoting an open dialogue about mortality may improve attitudes about EOL care and utilization of palliative care services. The study also provides evidence about the utility and applicability of TMT for EOL care.     

大学生应对幽默和社交焦虑与心理健康的关系研究

探讨大学生应对幽默、社交焦虑和心理健康之间的关系,选用应对幽默量表、社交焦虑量表和SCL-90问卷,对600名大学生进行调查,结果是应对幽默与大学生社交焦虑呈负相关,即应对幽默水平有助于减轻社交焦虑;社交焦虑水平与大学生心理健康水平相关,社交焦虑水平越高,心理健康状况越差。因此,应对幽默水平作为一种应对方式对大学生心理健康水平有正面影响。

语音焦虑与英语学习成绩调查分析

本文提出语音焦虑是一种外语学习中不可忽略的焦虑形式,语音焦虑源自于英语学习起始阶段语音知识的缺失导致的语音缺陷和诵读困难。语音能力的强弱不仅影响听说能力,也影响阅读能力和其他外语技能。在论证语音焦虑同外语成绩呈负相关的同时还指出,受方言发音影响的少量稳定的英语语音错误比大量不稳定的英语语音错误对学习成绩的影响小。     

经典的焦虑--当前文艺思潮的审视

文学中的经典是指那些在文学史上具有典范意义和深远影响的代表作品.文学经典在文学发展史上既具有确定文学标准尺度的作用,又能在很大程度上满足不同时代读者的审美需求.文学经典作品在近年来出现大量重版、改写和重评,成为当前文艺思潮的突出现象.这既是消费时代社会心理对于经典作品的需要的反映,同时也一定程度上反映了精英文化层对于当今经典缺失的焦虑.     

解构主义文学误读理论辨正

解构主义文学误读理论的"误读"主要存在于两个方面,有必要对其进行辨正:第一,误读理论并不只是强调读者的阐释活动,同时关注的是一个更为宏观的经典文本的历时性差异运动,而在这种运动之中,"作者的焦虑"才是关键所在;第二,误读理论在肯定所有阅读都不是单一解释的同时,又指出在对文本进行解释的时候存在界限,超出这一界限所作的解释是不合理的,误读的界限就源于"文本"。     

理工科硕士毕业生就业焦虑研究——以合肥市高校为例

针对理工科硕士毕业生就业焦虑,采用状态-特质焦虑量表和应对方式量表,对合肥市211高校和985高校503名理工科硕士毕业生进行问卷调查,研究理工科硕士毕业生就业焦虑状况及其与群体性质、应对方式等要素之间的关系。调查数据分析表明:理工科硕士毕业生的就业焦虑情况比较严重,群体性质对就业焦虑影响呈现不同的特点,就业焦虑与应对方式显著相关,解决问题、自责、幻想和退避对就业焦虑的各要素及焦虑总分均有显著的预测作用。同时还发现,在就业焦虑方面,存在学院类别和有无找工作经历的差异,而且差异十分显著。文中最后给出若干应对研究生就业焦虑的措施。
