Background: The study was conducted to determine the frequency of menstrual irregularity in women with diabetes in the reproductive period and to reveal the relationship between menstrual irregularity and premenstrual syndrome by comparing women with diabetes to women without diabetes. Methods: In this cross-sectional and comparative study included 98 women with diabetes and 98 women without diabetes, aged 15–49 years. The study was carried out in a university hospital in Turkey between 01 June-30 September 2021. The data were obtained by using the woman identification form, the menstrual irregularity evaluation form, and the premenstrual syndrome scale. Student t-test and chi-square test were used to evaluate the data. Results: It was determined that women with diabetes had a higher rate of menstrual irregularity than women without diabetes (54.1% vs. 39.8%). Oligomenorrhea and menorrhagia were found to be more common in women with diabetes than in women without diabetes ( P < 0.05). It was determined that women with diabetes had a moderate premenstrual syndrome experience level, and nearly half (55.1%) of them experienced premenstrual syndrome. It was determined that there was no difference in terms of premenstrual syndrome symptoms between women with diabetes and women without diabetes ( P > 0.05). Conclusions: One out of every two women with diabetes in the reproductive period experienced menstrual irregularity, and oligomenorrhea and menorrhagia were more common in these women than in women without diabetes. In order to improve women's health and improve the quality of life in women with diabetes, it is recommended to examine the menstrual irregularity status in addition to diabetes management.

Background: Prenatal iron and folic acid supplementation is an economical strategy for reducing iron and folic acid deficiency anemia among expectant mothers in resource-limited countries like Uganda. This study aimed to assess the level of compliance with iron and folic acid supplementation (IFAS) and identify associated factors among mothers receiving prenatal services in Lira district, Uganda. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the antenatal clinic of Lira Regional Referral Hospital, involving 252 pregnant mothers. Adherence levels to IFAS were evaluated using a visual analogue scale, and associated factors were collected through an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, and the results were presented in tables. Results : Only 46% of the mothers attending the antenatal clinic adhered to IFAS during the 30 days preceding the study. Participants who had good knowledge of IFAS before recruitment (odds ratio (OR) 1.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12–1.97), utilized reminder techniques (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.09), and received support from their partners or relatives (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.07–2.29) were more likely to have good adherence. The main reasons for missing IFAS were forgetfulness and fear of taking too many tablets. Conclusions: There was a low adherence rate to IFAS among mothers attending antenatal clinics in Lira district. Further investigations are recommended to identify barriers to adherence, and comprehensive health education programs should be provided to pregnant mothers.
背景:在乌干达等资源有限的国家，产前补充铁和叶酸是减少孕妇缺铁性和叶酸缺乏性贫血的一种经济策略。本研究旨在评估乌干达里拉地区接受产前服务的母亲对铁和叶酸补充(IFAS)的依从性水平，并确定相关因素。方法:在里拉地区转诊医院产前门诊进行横断面研究，涉及252名孕妇。使用视觉模拟量表评估IFAS的依从性水平，并通过访谈者管理的问卷收集相关因素。数据采用SPSS软件进行分析，结果以表格形式呈现。结果:只有46%参加产前诊所的母亲在研究前30天坚持使用IFAS。在招募前对IFAS有良好了解的参与者(优势比(OR) 1.49, 95%置信区间(CI) 1.12-1.97)，使用提醒技术(OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09)，并得到伴侣或亲属的支持(OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.07-2.29)，更有可能具有良好的依从性。错过IFAS的主要原因是健忘和害怕服用过多的药片。结论:在里拉区产前诊所就诊的母亲中，IFAS的依从率较低。建议进一步调查，以确定坚持的障碍，并应向孕妇提供全面的健康教育计划。
