During recent decades, research in Iran in the area of the Quran and medical science has been seriously engaged in. With respect to the tendency toward spirituality and alternative medicine, we tried to find other aspects of the influence of the Quran.
This study aimed to determine the effect of vocalizations of the Holy Quran with and without translation on the consequences of pregnancy (the prevalence of preterm delivery, caesarean delivery, and neonatal anthropometric indices) in women admitted to health care centers in Urmia, Iran.
This was a three-armed parallel-group randomized clinical trial in which 168 pregnant women (25-28 weeks) in their first and second pregnancies were divided into three groups of 56 (Holy Quran with translation, Holy Quran without translation, and control group) by randomized blocking. The intervention was implemented once a week for three weeks in the health center, and on other days of the week, the participants listened at home to a CD they were given. The intervention and the control groups all received routine pregnancy care once a week. These mothers were tracked during their labor. Outcomes including gestational age at delivery, delivery type, and neonatal anthropometric indices were recorded based on the mother's records.
There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic and obstetric characteristics before the intervention. In comparison with the control group, the probability of preterm delivery was lower in the Holy Quran with translation group (odds ratio: 0.3, CI 95%: 0.1-1.2) and in the Holy Quran without translation group (0.6, 0.2-1.9) as compared to the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant. Similarly, the probability of caesarean delivery was lower in the Holy Quran with translation group (0.6, 0.3-1.4) and the Holy Quran without translation group (0.5, 0.2-1.2) as compared to the control group. Based on one-way ANOVA, there was no statistically significant difference between the study groups regarding the infants' anthropometric indices.
Based on the results of this study, despite the lower prevalence of preterm labor and caesarean section in the intervention groups as compared to the control group, no statistically significant effect was seen. This was apparently due to the small sample size.
近几十年来,伊朗在《古兰经》与医学领域开展了深入研究。鉴于人们对灵性与替代医学的倾向,我们试图探寻《古兰经》影响的其他方面。
本研究旨在确定有翻译和无翻译的《古兰经》诵读对伊朗乌尔米耶医疗中心收治的孕妇妊娠结局(早产、剖宫产发生率及新生儿人体测量指标)的影响。
这是一项三臂平行组随机临床试验,168名首次及第二次怀孕的孕妇(孕周25 - 28周)通过随机区组法分为三组,每组56人(有翻译的《古兰经》组、无翻译的《古兰经》组和对照组)。干预在健康中心每周进行一次,持续三周,在一周的其他日子里,参与者在家听提供给她们的CD。干预组和对照组每周均接受一次常规孕期护理。在这些母亲分娩期间对其进行追踪。根据母亲的记录,记录包括分娩时的孕周、分娩方式和新生儿人体测量指标等结局。
干预前,各组在人口统计学和产科特征方面无统计学显著差异。与对照组相比,有翻译的《古兰经》组早产概率较低(优势比:0.3,95%置信区间:0.1 - 1.2),无翻译的《古兰经》组(0.6,0.2 - 1.9)与对照组相比也是如此。然而,这种差异无统计学显著性。同样,与对照组相比,有翻译的《古兰经》组剖宫产概率较低(0.6,0.3 - 1.4),无翻译的《古兰经》组(0.5,0.2 - 1.2)。基于单因素方差分析,各研究组在婴儿人体测量指标方面无统计学显著差异。
基于本研究结果,尽管干预组早产和剖宫产的发生率低于对照组,但未观察到统计学显著效果。这显然是由于样本量较小。
