Summary: This study examined the validity of three validated questionnaires when administered remotely, aiming to confirm their effectiveness outside of an office setting. The questionnaires were administered by phone and in person to women with and without incontinence, and the scores were found to be generally comparable. This suggests that remote administration of these questionnaires can be useful for assessing women with incontinence who may be difficult to reach through traditional office visits.

Summary: Urinary incontinence (UI) is common during pregnancy and can impact quality of life, yet many pregnant women do not seek professional help. Assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of pregnant women regarding UI is important for interventions. A new scale was developed and validated to assess the KAP of pregnant women related to UI, which was approved by experts and can be used as a valid tool.

Summary: The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of a booklet in increasing the knowledge of pregnant/puerperal women living with HIV for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, compared to usual care. The results showed that the booklet was effective in improving the knowledge of pregnant women in the intervention group in both the short-term and long-term. However, there was no difference in knowledge between the intervention group and the control group. Further research is needed to prove the effectiveness of the booklet.
