This study assessed maternal bonding (MPAS), depressive and anxious symptoms (EPDS; STAI), and parenting stress (PSI) at 3 months postpartum in a community sample of 105 women (M (SD) = 32.60 (4.18) years old). Spearman's correlation analyses showed moderate to high correlations between these factors. The three mediation models run showed that mother's MPAS partially mitigates the effects of EPDS (b = 0.71; SE = 0.217; 95% CI = 0.290/1.136) and STAI State (b = 0.39; SE = 0.113; 95% CI = 0.178/0.625) on PSI, and totally mediated the relationship between STAI Trait and PSI (b = 0.59; SE = 0.155; 95% CI = 0.303/0.912). Matern...

Reflections on the group dynamic in a group cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for young adult women with moderate to severe dysmenorrhea: a qualitative analysis
This study aimed to use qualitative analyses to explore participants' reflections about the intervention's group dynamic. Participants included 20 young women ages 18-24 years with average menstrual pain of 8.0 (SD = 1.1) on a 0-10 (0 = none, 10 = worst pain possible) numeric rating scale. Semi-structured individual and group interviews were conducted after the intervention. Researchers then conducted deductive, iterative thematic analysis using a template analysis approach. Two themes were generated: benefit and logistics. The benefit theme included two sub-themes: (1) camaraderie (an emotional, psychological, or social c...

Understanding cyberchondria in pregnant women: longitudinal assessment of risk factors, triggers, and outcomes
This study aimed to explore the risk factors, triggers, and outcomes of cyberchondria in pregnant women. A total of 149 participants completed an online questionnaire longitudinally across three stages of pregnancy: early (14-19 weeks), mid (24-29 weeks), and late pregnancy (34-39 weeks). The findings revealed that health anxiety and the cognitive component of anxiety sensitivity are risk factors for cyberchondria during pregnancy. Pregnancy concerns related to motherhood emerged as triggers for cyberchondria. While a connection between cyberchondria and fear of birth was observed, fear of birth did not appear to be a dire...
