- ObjectiveTo explore fear of childbirth (FOC) during pregnancy and one year after birth and its association to birth experience and mode of delivery.DesignA longitudinal population-based study.PopulationPregnant women who were listed for a routine ultrasound at three hospitals in the middle-north part of Sweden.MethodDifferences between women who reported FOC and who did not were calculated using risk ratios with a 95% confidence interval. In order to explain which factors were most strongly associated to suffer from FOC during pregnancy and one year after childbirth, multivariate logistic regression analyses were used.ResultsFOC during pregnancy in multiparous women was associated with a previous negative birth experience (RR 5.1, CI 2.5–10.4) and a previous emergency caesarean section (RR 2.5, CI 1.2–5.4). Associated factors for FOC one year after childbirth were: a negative birth experience (RR 10.3, CI 5.1–20.7), fear of childbirth during pregnancy (RR 7.1, CI 4.4–11.7), emergency caesarean section (RR 2.4, CI 1.2–4.5) and primiparity (RR 1.9, CI 1.2–3.1).ConclusionFOC was associated with negative birth experiences. Women still perceived the birth experience as negative a year after the event. Women's perception of the overall birth experience as negative seems to be more important for explaining subsequent FOC than mode of delivery. Maternity care should focus on women's experiences of childbirth. Staff at antenatal clinics should ask multiparous women about their previous experience of childbirth. So that FOC is minimized, research on factors that create a positive birth experience for women is required.

- Data from a Swedish PISA-sample were used (1) to identify a digital reading factor, (2) toinvestigate gender differences in this factor (if found), and (3) to explore how computergame playing might relate to digital reading performance and gender. The analyses wereconducted with structural equation modeling techniques. In addition to an overall readingfactor, the hypothesized digital reading factor was identified. When the overall readingperformance was taken into account, a relative difference in favor of the boys fordigital reading was indicated. This effect was mediated by a game-playing factorcomprising the amount of time spent on playing computer games. Thus, the boys’better performance in digital reading was explained by the computer game-playing factor.
