Methods
A cross-sectional study among married women who
visited the psychology clinics. Study was carried out inMarch 2013.
A total of 356 women were interviewed.
Results
Our study indicates that descriptive statistics and logis-
tic regression were used to measure relations between attitudes
towards domestic violence and several variables. Many women
(66%) reported different types of domestic violence against them
in the last six months. The most common types of reported vio-
lence were verbal abuse (73%) and emotional abuse (47.5%) were
themost violence reported, followedwith several non-physical vio-
lence (35%). Whereas physical violence were reported among (11%)
of the sample.
Conclusions
The study shows frequent types of domestic violence
against women. Increasing women’s authorization, mainly provid-
ing the proper education about her right, may protect women from
such violent behavior in the future.

Introduction
Perinatal mental illness is one of the most frequent
complications of pregnancy and the postpartum period. During the
puerperium, the risk of developing a mental disease, such as a psy-
chotic episode, is higher than in any other time in a woman’s life.
Objectives
The twomain objectives are to describe a case series of
4 patients diagnosed with pospartum psychosis, and to synthesize
themost important facets of thismental illness based on a literature
review.
Aims
The aim is to provide an overview of the clinical and epi-
demiological aspects of postpartum psychosis.
Methods
The four clinical cases are presented by describing the
similar as opposed to the differential aspects between all patients,
using the information obtained through successive clinical inter-
views and the case file. Researchwas accomplished through Clinical
Key and PubMed (2005-2015) using the keywords: postpartum
psychosis.
Results
In all four cases, the patients developed symptoms of
sleep disturbance, mood fluctuation, altered thinking process with
delusions or obsessions, and bizarre behaviours. This occurred
within the first four weeks after labour, which was in all cases an
obstrutced labour. The data suggests that postpartum psychosis is
a presentation of bipolar disorder. Clinical aspects and risk factors
related to this perinatal complication all coincide with the cases
presented.
Conclusions
Postpartum psychosis is a rare presentation of peri-
natal mental illness. However, it presents itself, as a psychiatric
emergency, and the early and correct assessment are crucial to reset
the development of the mother–child bond.

Introduction
Nursing is a job with high level of load, so nurses
must have well health to deal with their job challenge. Mental
health is easier ignored than physical health, thus, the risk factors
of mental health is valued to pay attention.
Objective
The objective of this study was to explore the related
factors of mental health on female nurses in southern Taiwan.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study design, and all female
nurses in two southern Taiwan hospitals are invited. We use
structured questionnaires to collect information. Mental health,
perceived stress, and job stress were measured with the five-item
Mental Health Index (MHI-5; a subscale of the SF-36), Perceived
Stress Scale (PSS), and Job Content Questionnaires (JCQ), respec-
tively. All subjects provided informed consent as approved by the
Ethics Review Board.
Results
A total of 943 female nurses from two hospitals in Taiwan
were recruited. Eight hundred and seventeen questionnaires were
completed, and the response ratewas 86.6%. Major of subjects were
30 or less years old (48.0%), married (67.1%), and university edu-
cational level (96.4%). The mean score of MIH-5 and PSS was 56.23
(percentage of full marks is 56.23%) and 20.14 (50.35%). The mean
score of job control, mental demand, and social support was 63.5,
35.4, and 23.5, respectively. After adjusting confounders, PSS and
social support were significant factors related with mental health.
Conclusions
Mental health of nurses was common, thus, the
strategies must be developed to reduce the perceived stress and
promote social support in the future. (The publication is partial

Background
This study is designed to investigate the relationship
between first-time-mother postpartum parenting education and
its effectiveness on the quality of mother–infant interaction and in
turn, sense changes of parenting competence.
Methods
Eighty-one healthy first-time-mother infant dyads
were recruited. The control group (
n
= 40) received normal postpar-
tumcare, being themedical and cultural norms practiced in Taiwan.
The experimental group (
n
= 41) received extra education by way
of a 40-minute videotape on infant states, behaviors, communica-
tion cues, and a handout about play practices. Data was collected
at five time periods: around first week, followed by the first, sec-
ond, third and sixth month after birth. Assessment scales used for
this study were the Chinese Version of the Parenting Sense of Com-
petence Scale (C-PSOC), the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale
(EPDS), and the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCATS),
in order to score videotaped mother-infant interactions.
Results
The results of the study between these two groups
showed that there was an increase in the quality of mother–infant
interaction within the experiential group. In addition, it was found
that at the five points of assessment, therewere no significant sense
