Postural management is a highly important issue in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP), but its use has not been thoroughly examined in the Middle East. The objective of this research was to determine how proper wheelchair choice could help in improving quality of life (QoL) of children with spastic cerebral palsy in Saudi Arabia. The sample used consisted of 35 children that were in a stable medical condition and had a Gross Motor Functional Measurement (GMFM) score of 3-5. The children whose parents did not consent were also excluded as well as those children who could not respond to the questionnaires of the study. The participants were all evaluated at three points namely baseline, after two weeks, and four weeks following a postural management program based on a wheelchair recommended by WHO. The findings showed that five, out of seven, domains of QoL showed statistically significant positive changes with a p-value of less than 0.001. These results will emphasize the great advantages of proper wheelchair choice in enhancing the QoL of children with cerebral palsy. Besides, the present research highlights the need to strengthen the understanding of postural management, paediatric rehabilitation, and how physiotherapy and occupational therapy may possibly optimize the treatment of children with CP.

Infertility is a distressing condition that can significantly affect women’s quality of life, leading to emotional, psychological, and social challenges. Women struggling with infertility often experience elevated stress levels, anxiety, and depression, which can negatively influence their overall well-being and interpersonal relationships. The impact extends beyond mental health, as diminished quality of life may also affect physical health, marital satisfaction, and social functioning. This narrative review aims to examine the psychological stress and quality of life among infertile women, while highlighting the consequences of infertility and the supportive role of nursing in enhancing care and well-being.
