Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A study within a multinational collaborative study (Barriers and Incentives to Prenatal Care in Europe) showed that out of 3 278 women in Sweden who delivered during a 12-month study period, 5 % had registered late (after 15 gestational weeks) at the prenatal care centre or had visited the centre less than three times. Compared to the control group, these women were more likely to be young, single, multipara, immigrant, not fully employed, or having an unplanned pregnancy. The results indicate that their contact with prenatal services could be facilitated by access to interpreters and by transcultural competence among centre staff .

- Seven out of ten of the adolescents included in the study had experienced unsafe sex with a new partner. Afterwards, 48 % worried about STD and 31 % worried about pregnancy.Teenagers calculate the risk of contracting STD from the looks and the reputation of a new partner.Young women and men agree, that both share responsibility for the use of condoms, but more often the young women initiate the use of condoms.Many participants found it more embarrassing to buy condoms than to use them.The participants hoped for improved education in schools and less expensive condoms. The adolescents possessed good knowledge concerning how to protect themselves, but changes in attitudes are needed. School and youth clinics play important roles in this process.

- The aim of the present study was to investigate, in a descriptive study, how healthy women experienced early discharge from hospital, 6-12 hours, after normal deliveries. Expecting couples were prepared for early discharge during pregnancy. The women delivered at the University Hospital in Uppsala. All infants had two obligatory medical examinations, one before leaving the hospital and one for metabolic screening after four or five days. Both mothers and infants received postpartum care at home by midwives. One hundred and three women participated and answered a questionnaire four to five days after delivery. Twenty of the women were additionally interviewed by telephone four months after delivery. The average length of stay at the hospital after delivery was 8 hours. The families had, on average, 1.9 visits at home. All women considered that they had received sufficient care and advice from the midwives, although 40 percent felt uncertainty about something in the postpartum period. Questions frequently raised concerned breast-feeding. Two infants were readmitted to hospital due to mild neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. All but three women wanted to repeat very early discharge after a future uncomplicated delivery. Ninety-five percent of the women were still breast-feeding after four months. We conclude, that antenatal preparation and a well-organised, adequate postpartum home-care is of the greatest importance, to establish safe early discharge after uncomplicated deliveries. This concept of early discharge from hospital, with midwifery home care provided, is safe and appreciated by the new parents.

Gene expression of cytochrome P450 1B1 and 2D6 in leukocytes in human pregnancy

- We investigated the influence of human pregnancy on gene expression of two cytochrome P450 enzymes in white blood cells. Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) catalyses oestradiol 4-hydroxylation, and may participate in the endocrine regulation of oestrogens. Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolises many commonly used drugs, and previous studies have suggested that it is induced during pregnancy. CYP1B1 and CYP2D6 were therefore considered to be of interest in human pregnancy. As it is not ethically possible to take liver biopsies from healthy mothers during pregnancy, easily accessible cells that express the genes were used as a surrogate tissue. White blood cells were collected from eighteen pregnant women, and were used to measure CYP1B1 and CYP2D6 ribonucleic acid (RNA). The analysis was repeated after pregnancy, the women, thus, serving as their own controls. Real-time reverse transcriptase - polymerase chain reaction methods were used with 18S ribosomal RNA as an internal control. A slight, but not significant, increase in gene activity of CYP1B1 was detected during pregnancy. Expression of CYP2D6 in blood was extremely low, and induction of CYP2D6 during pregnancy could not be confirmed. In conclusion, gene expression of CYP1B1 and CYP2D6 in leukocytes was not significantly up-regulated in the third trimester of pregnancy, but a trend indicating an altered metabolism during pregnancy was detected.

“Safe sex advice is good - but so difficult to follow”. Views and experiences of the youth in a health centre in Kampala : From Kiswa Youth Clinic, Kampala, Uganda

- Background Young people in Uganda are advised by the Ministry of Health and other authorities to abstain from sex in order to avoid the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and early pregnancies. If they cannot abstain they should use condoms and they should stay faithful to their partner. Objective To find out how young people perceive this advice and if they find it possible and realistic to follow. Method In May and June 2000 twenty informants were selected by purposeful sampling and were interviewed in English. Given items were discussed. The interviews were recorded on tape, transcribed, extracted and sorted into categories in a qualitative research method. Results Most of the interviewed youth claimed that the advice is good and helpful but there are many obstacles. The results showed that information given in schools about condom use and safer sex behaviour is not always adequate. However, despite lack of clear health education messages, the risk of being HIV positive is of major concern to many youth. In addition, the expected lack of support if the test is positive is a common reason for abstaining from HIV testing. Conclusions More discussions in society are needed to create consensus on safe sex messages presented to young people. HIV infection is a major concern but many young people abstain from testing, as they expect to receive inadequate support.
