Number of significant life events and perinatal depression in a diverse rural population: A brief report of a cross-sectional study.
No full textBACKGROUND: Significant life events (SLEs) correlate with perinatal depression (PD) risk; however, little is known about this association in rural populations.
OBJECTIVES: Using the Neuman systems model, we hypothesized that individuals with higher SLEs would have higher PD risk, and we evaluated this association with data collected from six of Utah\u27s diverse rural health districts.
DESIGN/METHODS: This cross-sectional study included pregnant and postpartum individuals visiting six rural public health clinics who completed screening with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and an 8-item SLE assessment in Spanish or English. Multinomial logistic regression assessed the association between SLEs (0, 1, and ⩾2) and PD risk status (EPDS ⩾9).
RESULTS: Data from 4245 screening surveys identified 2 primary racial groups: white (79.8%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (7.6%), with 20.2% of individuals identifying as Hispanic. Overall, 49.4% of individuals reported one SLE and 10.5% reported two or more SLEs. Significant predictors for PD risk included 1 SLE (OR = 1.84, 95% CI [1.56, 2.15]) or ⩾2 SLEs (5.18, 95% CI [4.31, 6.23]), regardless of racial/ethnic background.
CONCLUSION: Screening for PD risk in a rural population should include an assessment of SLEs, given the relationship between the two. Improving culturally appropriate local resources to support individuals and their families during the childbearing year should be considered, particularly for those experiencing SLEs
Angels & Demons: What the Bible Says about Spiritual Creatures
No full textChristians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text—and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblically about the spiritual realm, especially because many books on angels teach speculative views or borrow their ideas from other religions of the ancient near east.https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/faculty_books/1269/thumbnail.jp
