Barriers and facilitators for healthy lifestyle and recommendations for counseling in endometrial cancer follow-up care: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: We propose the following intervention functions: education, persuasion, training, environmental restructuring, and enablement. Suitable behavior change techniques to deliver the intervention functions include information about the consequences of certain behavior, feedback on behavior, credible source, graded tasks, habit formation, restructuring of the environment, prompts/cues, goal setting, action planning, and social support. Including these recommendations in lifestyle counseling could aid lasting lifestyle change since it suits the needs and preferences of patients.PMID:38622864 | DOI:10.1080/0167482X.20...

Impact of first-trimester anomaly scan on health-related quality of life and healthcare costs: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Women experience anxiety in anticipation of the FTAS result and following a reassuring FTAS result, anxiety returns to the baseline level. FTAS seems to be a reassuring experience. The included studies on costs showed the addition of FTAS is likely to increase the number of detected anomalies against an increase in healthcare costs per pregnancy.Review registration: PROSPERO CRD42016045190.PMID:38511633 | DOI:10.1080/0167482X.2024.2330414 (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology)
