Cross Sectional Survey of Ob/Gyn Residents' Graduated Experience With Robotic Surgery.

Study Objective: Obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) resident experience with robotic gynecologic surgery has been evaluated at time of graduation, but no specific surgical procedures were identified to differentiate the experiences of residents at each level. This study proposes to determine which factors are correlated with more hands-on robotic surgery experience and resident satisfaction.

Design: An Investigational Review Board-approved, 15-question survey was distributed electronically.

Abortion Stigma and Its Relationship with Grief, Post-traumatic Stress, and Mental Health-Related Quality of Life After Abortion for Fetal Anomalies.

Background: Despite the prevalence of abortion stigma in the United States, few studies have examined the relationship between stigma and psychological well-being postabortion among women who undergo abortion for fetal anomalies.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of women who underwent second-trimester abortion for pregnancy complications to assess the association between abortion stigma and psychological outcomes. We asked women to retrospectively report self-judgment and perceived community condemnation at the time of their abortion and evaluated present-day grief, post-traumatic stress, and self-reported mental health.

Offering routine trichomonas vaginalis testing to patients presenting for abortion at an urban hospital-based clinic.

Introduction: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend considering screening asymptomatic women for trichomonas in high-prevalence settings. Whether urban abortion clinics constitute such a setting is unknown.

Material And Methods: We offered trichomonas screening to patients presenting for abortion from October 2018 to February 2019 as a practice improvement and conducted a chart review.

The impact of gravidity, symptomatology and timing of infection on placental malaria.

Background: Placental malaria is associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. While primigravidity has been reported as a risk factor for placental malaria, little is known regarding the relationship between gravidity, symptomatology and timing of Plasmodium falciparum infection and the development of placental malaria.

Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of placental malaria and gravidity, timing of infection, and presence of symptoms.

Provider Practices and Young Women's Experiences with Provider Self-disclosure during Emergency Contraceptive Visits.

Background: Research on the impact of providers disclosing personal contraceptive experiences with patients is limited. In this study, we examine patient and provider perspectives about provider self-disclosure (PSD) of personal contraceptive experiences and its effects on contraceptive decision making and the provider-patient relationship.

Methods: We conducted 18 one-on-one telephone interviews with clinicians who provide contraceptive services to young women and 17 patients seeking emergency contraception from three Bay Area community-based, youth-friendly clinics regarding their contraceptive counseling practices and experiences, respectively.

Inequality and Innovation: Barriers and Facilitators to 17P Administration to Prevent Preterm Birth among Medicaid Participants.

Objectives Strategies to prevent preterm birth are limited. 17 Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate (17P) injections have been shown to be effective, but the intervention is under-used. This mixed methods study investigates barriers and facilitators to 17P administration among Medicaid and CHIP participants enrolled in Strong Start for Mothers and Newborns, a federal preterm birth prevention program.

Facilitators and Barriers to Healthy Pregnancy Spacing among Medicaid Beneficiaries: Findings from the National Strong Start Initiative.

Background: Closely spaced, unintended pregnancies are common among Medicaid beneficiaries and create avoidable risks for women and infants, including preterm birth. The Strong Start for Mothers and Newborns Initiative, a program of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, intended to prevent preterm birth through psychosocially based enhanced prenatal care in maternity care homes, group prenatal care, and birth centers. Comprehensive care offers the opportunity for education and family planning to promote healthy pregnancy spacing.
