Purpose: This study is intended to examine the difficulties facing mothers of young children (early childhood) and to understand the associated factors.Method: We analyzed 1,003 data items of women with children under age 2 who participated in a prenatal and early-childhood home visitation program in Seoul from 2016 to 2019. For our research, we used self-administered registration and service monitoring data. The difficulties the women faced as mothers were measured using the “Being a Mother Scale” (BaM-13). This analysis considered covariates including maternal and infant ages, their number of children, economic conditions, presence of disabilities, single motherhood, multicultural migration background, employment status, unintended pregnancy, instrumental and emotional support, and depression scores.Results: The average score for being a mother was 14.45 (standard deviation=6.61), and higher scores were recorded for women with spouses, Korean women (as opposed to multicultural immigrant women), women whose pregnancies were unplanned, women without instrumental support, and severely depressed women.Conclusion: Motherhood poses great difficulties to women with children under age two. To help women transition from motherhood, it is important to understand their situations in relation to their social and psychological characteristics, as well as the cultural, social, and contextual perspectives they bring to motherhood.

Purpose: This study has sought to determine the levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and attachment among fathers raising high-risk infants and to identify the factors influencing paternal attachment.Methods: The participants were 85 fathers who were raising high-risk infants aged 6 months or younger and visiting a general hospital in Busan Metropolitan City. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect information on the general characteristics of fathers and children, PTSD, depression, and attachment. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with paternal attachment.Results: The average scores reported by fathers were as follows: 4.68±0.27 out of 5 for attachment, 19.51±15.40 out of 88 for PTSD, and 13.21±10.07 out of 60 for depression. Among fathers, 29.4% and 20% experienced PTSD and depression, respectively. The first model revealed that the use of a ventilator, the age of the infant, and desired sex of the infant were associated with paternal attachment, predicting 30% of the variance. In the second model, in which PTSD and depression were added, PTSD influenced paternal attachment. This model predicts a 52% variance.Conclusion: The formation of paternal attachment, which begins immediately after a child’s birth, plays a crucial role in a child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. To enhance the attachment of fathers raising high-risk newborns, neonatal nurses should screen fathers for PTSD early and plan appropriate interventions.

With an increasing trend toward low birth rates and premature births, the importance of managing the health of high-risk infants has received constant emphasis. It is necessary to establish a family-centered care culture in neonatal intensive care units where high-risk infants are hospitalized. This study is intended to examine the current status of family-centered care and the direction of the role played by healthcare professionals, focusing on the characteristics of high-risk infants and their families. Healthcare professionals should listen to the needs of the family and facilitate their involvement to improve the performance of family-centered care and systematic support. Specific guidelines are required to strengthen the competence and leadership of healthcare professionals. The paradigm shift toward family-centered care for high-risk infants is a challenge for healthcare professionals and parents, but it will serve as a vision and strategy to improve the health of high-risk infants and their families by including the family in the healthcare process.

Thyroid hormone is known to play a crucial role in implantation and embryonic development, as well as in the development of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems of fetus. In particular, thyroid dysfunction is associated with various pregnancy-related complications such as miscarriage, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. Previous studies have primarily focus on the adverse effects of hypothyroidism on fetal neurodevelopment. However, the physiological and metabolic alterations occurring during pregnancy in thyroid physiology make it difficult to diagnose thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, obstetricians should have a comprehensive understanding of physiological changes of the thyroid and be familiar with the latest guidelines regarding the complications and management of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy.

Although cervical polyps are benign, they may cause atypical symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, and localized infection. A recent study found that the detection of polyps in early pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm delivery before 28 weeks and at 34 and 37 weeks of gestation. Furthermore, cervical polyps are also are highly associated with cervical insufficiency (Hirayama et al., 2022). Another study found that the risk of preterm delivery before 37 weeks of gestation and spontaneous abortion are higher in pregnant women with decidual polyps than in those with endocervical ones (Tokunaka et al., 2015). A 2021 retrospective cohort study of 4,172 pregnant women included 92 patients diagnosed with cervical polyps before 12 weeks of gestation who had not undergone polypectomy. This study reported that the incidence of spontaneous preterm birth before 34 weeks of gestation was higher in pregnant women with cervical polyps than in those without them (5.4% vs. 0.7%, p<0.01). Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that cervical polyps are an independent risk factor for spontaneous preterm birth before 34 weeks of gestation, with an odds ratio of 4.09 (Wakimoto et al., 2022). Despite these findings, continued research on cervical polyps is required because studies on the effects of cervical polyps during pregnancy are limited, and their management remains controversial. Polyps observed in the cervix during pregnancy are benign gynecological neoplasms found in 2%-5% of women of child bearing age (Farrar & Nedoss, 1961; Younis et al., 2010). Cervical polyps can be asymptomatic during pregnancy but often cause repetitive vaginal bleeding. Moreover, they can cause preterm labor, infection, chorioamnionitis, and increased bleeding during labor (Golan et al., 1994; Wakimoto et al., 2022).
虽然宫颈息肉是良性的，但它们可能引起非典型症状，如阴道出血、阴道分泌物增多和局部感染。最近的一项研究发现，在妊娠早期发现息肉是妊娠28周前、34周和37周早产的危险因素。此外，宫颈息肉也与宫颈功能不全高度相关(Hirayama et al.， 2022)。另一项研究发现，患有蜕膜息肉的孕妇37周前早产和自然流产的风险高于宫颈内息肉孕妇(Tokunaka et al.， 2015)。2021年的一项回顾性队列研究对4172名孕妇进行了研究，其中包括92名在妊娠12周前被诊断为宫颈息肉且未接受息肉切除术的患者。本研究报道宫颈息肉孕妇在妊娠34周前自发性早产的发生率高于无宫颈息肉孕妇(5.4%比0.7%，p<0.01)。此外，回归分析显示宫颈息肉是妊娠34周前自发性早产的独立危险因素，比值比为4.09 (Wakimoto et al.， 2022)。尽管有这些发现，由于对妊娠期间宫颈息肉影响的研究有限，其治疗仍存在争议，因此需要继续对宫颈息肉进行研究。妊娠期子宫颈息肉是一种良性妇科肿瘤，发生率为2%-5%的育龄妇女(Farrar & Nedoss, 1961;Younis et al.， 2010)。宫颈息肉在怀孕期间可能没有症状，但经常引起反复的阴道出血。此外，它们可导致早产、感染、绒毛膜羊膜炎和分娩时出血增加(Golan等，1994;Wakimoto et al.， 2022)。

Purpose: To compare the perinatal outcomes among the majority of physicians who manage pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), particularly those who require insulin treatment.Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving 206 singleton pregnant women diagnosed with GDM between January 2017 and September 2022. The study participants were divided into 2 groups according to the majority of physicians (obstetrics vs. endocrinology). We compared the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes between the 2 groups and performed a subgroup analysis of preterm birth cases.Results: During the study period, 206 pregnant women were diagnosed with GDM and 36.9% (76 of 206) required insulin treatment. Among the GDM A2 pregnancies, 26 patients visited or consulted endocrinologists, and 50 patients were managed by obstetricians. There were no significant differences in maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes between the two groups. Eighteen infants were delivered before 37 weeks of gestation (12 in the obstetrician group and 6 in the endocrinologist group). In preterm-delivered patients, the birth weight was heavier in the endocrinology group (median [range], 2.66 [1.98–3.77] vs. 3.71 [2.48–4.17], p=0.025) despite similar gestational age at delivery (median [range], 35.5 [33.1–36.5] vs. 36.0 [34.2–36.6], p=0.511). However, there were no significant differences in perinatal outcomes, including the rate of neonatal hypoglycemia, oxygen treatment and the duration of neonatal intensive care unit admission.Conclusion: Our data show that GDM can be managed by obstetricians even in cases requiring insulin treatment.

Purpose: This phenomenological study aimed to comprehend the altered parenting experience of nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Method: Using a qualitative approach, the research design employed a phenomenological methodology. The participants were 6 nurses with elementary school-aged children. The nurses were employed in tertiary general hospitals, working on rotating shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In-depth interviews were conducted to collect individual data, which were then analyzed using Colaizzi phenomenological method.Results: Analyzing the collected data led to 178 significant results, from which 13 themes were derived. These 13 themes were further integrated into 5 distinct theme clusters: (1) struggling as a nurse-mom, (2) providing a supportive presence, (3) facing challenges in facilitating children's learning activities, (4) navigating parental roles in a chaotic situation, and (5) pursuing physical safety. These clusters were subsequently categorized into four overarching categories: “suffering,” which encompassed the themes of pressure of infection and providing a supportive presence, as well as “controlling,” “parenting,” and “seeking,” representing the remaining clusters, respectively.Conclusion: The parenting experiences of shift nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic encompassed various aspects, including the challenges posed by the pressure of infection, the importance of providing a supportive presence, difficulties in managing children’s learning activities, navigating parental roles amid chaotic circumstances, and the pursuit of physical safety. These experiences significantly impact the stability of shift nurses’ caregiving abilities for both their patients and their children. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a comprehensive nationallevel care support system in times of disaster situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.
