Objective:To systematically integrate the lived experiences of women regarding decision-making participation and informed choice during intrapartum care, providing evidence-based guidance for improving obstetric healthcare management and service quality, and enhancing women′s childbirth experiences.Methods:Computerized searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative studies on women′s experiences of shared decision-making participation and informed choice during childbirth. The search period spanned from January 1, 1997 to August 15, 2024. Literature quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research. Meta-aggregation was employed to synthesize findings by grouping similar results into new categories and integrating outcomes based on logical relationships between categories.Results:Eleven studies were included, yielding 47 key findings synthesized into 10 categories and further integrated into four overarching themes: complex emotional experiences in intrapartum decision-making participation; Diverse coping strategies for intrapartum decision-making participation; multiple stressors faced during intrapartum decision-making participation; multifaceted support needs in intrapartum decision-making participation.Conclusions:Midwives and healthcare providers should deliver education on shared decision-making and informed choice during the third trimester. Continuous attention to maternal emotional shifts regarding decision-making participation and informed choice during labor is essential. Comprehensive decision support, effective intrapartum communication, and initiatives to promote maternal autonomy through empowerment and capacity building should be prioritized.

Objective:To explore the status of psychological resilience in female infertility patients and analyze its influencing factors, providing a basis for developing effective intervention measures in clinical practice.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to select female infertility patients who visited the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of South China from March to October 2024 as the research objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Data Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Herth Hope Index, the Infertility Stigma Scale, Family Resilience Scale and Perceived Social Support Scale. The random forest algorithm was used to rank the importance of variables, Lasso regression was used to further screen variables, and the selected variables were included in multiple stepwise regression analysis to analyze the influencing factors.Results:Ultimately, 322 female infertility patients aged (30.40 ± 4.50) were included. The psychological resilience score was (64.29 ± 10.05) points, which was above the medium level. The top 6 influential factors in the importance of variables were stigma, family resilience, age, social support, infertility cause and hope level. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age, infertility cause, hope level, stigma, family resilience and social support were the main influencing factors of mental resilience of female infertility patients ( t values were -8.32 to 6.85, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The psychological resilience of female infertility patients is above the medium level, and the psychological resilience of infertile women is affected by many factors such as individual characteristics, family environment and social support. Medical staff should take targeted intervention measures to improve the psychological resilience of female infertility patients.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of social skills and problem behaviors of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as the association with core symptoms.Methods:A total of 409 patients aged 5-18 years old with ASD or ADHD in the outpatient department of Nanjing Brain Hospital from 2023 to 2024, and 344 children and adolescents with typical development(TD) were recruited.All participants were matched in a ratio of 1∶1∶1 (ASD∶ADHD∶TD) according to gender and age, and 97 participants were included in each group for analysis.The Chinese version of the social skills improvement system rating scales(SSIS-RS-C) was used to evaluate social skills and problem behaviors, and autistic child behavior checklist(ABC), childhood autism rating scale(CARS), the Chinese version of the social communication questionnaire(SCQ) and the Chinese version of Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, version Ⅳ scale-parent form(SNAP-Ⅳ) were used to evaluate the core symptoms of ASD and ADHD, respectively. SPSS 26.0 software was used to perform variance, Chi-square test, Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:The social skills score of ASD group was lower than ADHD group ((61.53±24.26) vs (80.89±15.19), P<0.05), while the problem behavior score of ASD group was higher than ADHD group ((38.82±11.92) vs (34.00±12.45), P<0.05). In ASD group, the scores of ABC, CARS and SCQ were negatively correlated with the score of social skills ( r=-0.26--0.55, P<0.05). In ADHD group, the total score and each subscale of SNAP-Ⅳ were positively correlated with the score of problem behavior ( r=0.25-0.65, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that empathy was a negative influencing factor of ASD ( B=-0.246, OR=0.782, P<0.05), and hyperactivity/inattention was a positive influencing factor of ASD ( B=0.589, OR=1.802, P<0.01), while only hyperactivity/inattention was a positive influencing factor of ADHD( B=0.779, OR=2.180, P<0.01). Conclusion:Children and adolescents with ASD and ADHD both have defects in social skills and problem behaviors, and these defects are associated with the core characteristics of their respective diseases.
