(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2023-03) Bembey, Raghavi Abhilesh; Jha, Rajesh Ranjan
Introduction and aim. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare but life-threatening illness that can affect middle aged, young and pregnant women. It is a cardiac emergency and can mimic many other life threatening conditions like myocardial infarction, acute myocarditis, peripartum cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy and is diagnosed by exclusion. Description of the case. Here we report a rare case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a young 28 year old female immediately post vaginal delivery of her normal full term twin pregnancy, who was otherwise a healthy female. She went on to develop complication of left ventricular heart failure and cardiogenic shock, which were successfully managed by conservative treatment leading to a full recovery. Conclusion. Takotsubo or stress cardiomyopathy is a rare entity and often a missed diagnosis, which if caught on time and treated leads to great prognosis. Our patient made a full recovery and is living a healthy life.

(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024-12) Özkoç, Melike; Tandoğan, Özden
Introduction and aim. Baby care training given to mothers can help them feel more secure and make their motherhood role more effective. The aim was to determine the effect of early postnatal infant care training on the maternal role and anxiety in first-time mothers. Material and methods. The study involved 60 mothers of which n=30 were in a control group with treatment as usual and n=30 were in the intervention group receiving special training on infant feeding, basic hygiene practices, baby’s sleep patterns and basic care skills. Training took place in the first 8 and 24 hours after birth and mothers were followed up 5 weeks later. The “Barkin Maternal Function Inventory (BMFI)” and “Postpartum Anxiety Scale (PAS)” were used to measure maternal roles and postpartum anxiety at 6 weeks after birth. Results. Participants were usually between 28–32 years of age and were first-time mothers. Six weeks after birth, there was a statistically significant difference in BMFI total scores between the experimental and control groups (p<0.001), while the experimental group scored higher (89.8±11.01). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of postpartum anxiety. Conclusion. Significant improvements were observed in the anxiety levels and mothering skills of mothers who received training. It is recommended that similar training programs be implemented on a larger scale and their effects be monitored long-term.
