    (Karger, 2014) Simavli, Serap; Gumus, Ilknur; Kaygusuz, Ikbal; Yildirim, Melahat; Usluogullari, Betul; Kafali, Hasan
    Background/Aims: The control of labor pain and the prevention of suffering are major concerns of clinicians and their patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of music on labor pain and anxiety, maternal hemodynamics, fetal-neonatal parameters and postpartum analgesic requirement in primiparous women. Methods: Overall, 156 primiparous women who expected vaginal delivery were recruited and randomly assigned to a music group (n = 77) or a control group (n = 79). Women in the music group listened to music during labor. Pain intensity and anxiety level were measured using a visual analogue scale (0-10 cm). The two groups were compared in terms of pain severity, anxiety level, maternal hemodynamics, fetal-neonatal parameters and postpartum analgesic requirement. Results: Mothers in the music therapy group had a lower level of pain and anxiety compared with those in the control group at all stages of labor (p < 0.001). A significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of maternal hemodynamics and fetal heart rate after intervention (p < 0.01). Postpartum analgesic requirement significantly decreased in the music therapy group (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Listening to music during labor has a positive impact on labor pain and anxiety, maternal-fetal parameters and analgesic requirement. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel

    Effect of music therapy during vaginal delivery on postpartum pain relief and mental health
    (Elsevier, 2014) Simavli, Serap; Kaygusuz, Ikbal; Gumus, Ilknur; Usluogullari, Betul; Yildirim, Melahat; Kafali, Hasan
    Background: Childbirth is an important experience in a woman's life, and unfavorable birth experiences have been shown to negatively impact postpartum maternal health. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of music therapy on postpartum pain, anxiety level, satisfaction and early pospartum depression rate. Methods: Totally 161 primiparous women were recruited and randomized either music group (n=80) or a control group (n=81). Women in the music group listened to self-selected music during labor. Postpartum pain intensify, anxiety level and satisfaction rate were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS), postpartum depression rate was assessed with Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) at postpartum day one and day eight. Results: Mothers in the music therapy group had a lower level of postpartum pain and anxiety than the control group and it was statistically significant at all time intervals (1, 4, 8, 16 and 24 h, p < 0.001). A significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of satisfaction rate (p < 0.001) and postpartum depression rate at postpartum day one and day eight (p <005). Limitations: We only measured the effect of music therapy on early postpartum depression rate. Effect of music on late postpartum depression rate should be investigated in future. Conclusions: Using music therapy during labor decreased postpartum anxiety and pain, increased the satisfaction with childbirth and reduced early postpartum depression rate. Music therapy can be clinically recommended as an alternative, safe, easy and enjoyable nonpharmacological method for postpartum well-being. Published by Elsevier B.V.

    The role of human Dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis infections
    (Springer, 2014) Usluogullari, Betul; Gumus, Ilknur; Gunduz, Esra; Kaygusuz, Ikbal; Simavli, Serap; Acar, Muradiye; Oznur, Murat
    Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is defined as having four or more symptomatic vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) attacks within a year. This study aimed to investigate whether Human Dectin-1 Y238X Gene Polymorphism plays a role in RVVC pathogenesis. In order to examine and explore this aim, an experimental study was undergone. The clinical study design was conducted with 50 women diagnosed with RVVC and had four or more symptomatic VVC attacks who were included in the experimental group; while 50 women who did not have previous RVVC history and diagnosis and did not have vaginal discharge and itching in the past year were included in the control group. Blood samples were collected from these patients and transferred to EDTA tubes, to investigate the Dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism, and stored at -80A degrees. When Dectin-1 genotypes were compared, there was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.452, p = 0.615, p = 0.275). History of familial RVVC was significantly higher in the experimental group (p = 0.001). When the multivariate analysis was used to evaluate factors that could determine RVVC frequency, history of familial RVVC was found to increase the frequency of RVVC attacks by 3.3 units. This study is the first-of-its-kind to investigate the correlation between Dectin-1 Y238X polymorphism, which has not been previously studied in the Turkish population, and RVVC. The result of this study suggests that there is no correlation between this polymorphism and RVVC.
