First Time

Background: The postpartum or puerperium period is the first 6 weeks after giving birth to an infant. The postpartum period can have negative implications, especially in first-time mothers. With their transition into motherhood, new mothers adopt new lifestyles, which can affect their physical wellbeing. Childbirth has physical, psychological, and emotional effects on women as they try to adapt to their new roles in order to get through this period with no or minimal health issues. Study Aim: The current study aims to explore primiparous adaptations with postpartum health issues in Jeddah City at Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The research design is quantitative cross-sectional. A structured questionnaire was developed to collect data in relation to depression and weight gain, which consider the most common postpartum health issues. The inclusion criteria of the participants are: primipara, 2 to 6 months postpartum, and living in Jeddah. Results: 140 participants were included in the study. Mothers gained approximately 9.2 kg within the fifth to ninth month after giving birth. Discussion: Postpartum weight retention is a primary challenge in the majority of primiparous mothers and results in reduced quality of life. Nurses were always available to answer questions related to the postpartum health issues and explained the expectations to the family members. Conclusions: Childbirth and the postpartum period for first-time mothers are crucial in their lives as they try to adapt to a new way of life. The postpartum period can have negative implications, especially in first-time mothers. With their transition into motherhood, new mothers adopt new lifestyles, which can affect their physical wellbeing. More research is needed to explore the impact of postpartum health issues in Saudi Arabia.

Econometric Approach

This study aims to analyze the conspicuous consumption of luxury goods in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve this, the descriptive analytical and econometric approach was employed to describe the phenomenon, and review the theoretical and applied literature, to come out with the most important motivations of this type of consumption. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to 712 individuals in Jeddah city. Through analyzing and estimating the consumption function to measure the effect of disposable personal income, alongside: gender, marital status, age, educational level, and employment status, on the consumption of luxury goods. The results indicated that the disposable personal income is a major determinant of luxury goods consumption. The marginal propensity to consume was estimated at 0.045, while the elasticity of income demand is 0.431, indicating that luxury goods are considered as necessary for Saudi consumer. The study concluded that economic rationalization requires more social awareness to distinguish between what is necessary and luxury, and between productive consumption and conspicuous unrationed consumption. Consequently, the study recommended the necessity of raising the level of awareness of the need to rationalize consumption and the importance of saving and investment. This in addition to the importance of developing an approved classification for the consumption’s items. It is also important to provide detailed statistical data, to support and stimulate in-depth research in the areas of household consumption expenditure and its ordinary and conspicuous patterns, so as to guide reform policies that effectively contribute to achieving the country’s aspirations and long-term strategies.
