Title: Exploring the Lived Experience of Mothers of Children with Leukemia: A Qualitative
Study from Iran
Version: 1 Date: 01 Jul 2024
Reviewer:  Wulandewi Marhaeni
Reviewer's report:
Thanks for the response to the previous comment.
Background:  the author had written ==>To the best of our knowledge, there was no qualitative
study in Iran assessing the lived experiences of parents of children with Leukemia, after the
Coronavirus disease in the 2019 pandemic. Did you have similar research before the pandemic?
If there is previous similar research, it would be better as a comparison.
The limitations of the study included the lack of cooperation of some participants,==> Does the
age of the sick child and the age of the parents affect this? how about the level of education?
Overall better
Title: Perceptions of patients and healthcare providers regarding barriers and enablers of HIV
anti-retroviral therapy among women at a regional hospital in Ghana: Implications for national
HIV/AIDS control
Version: 1 Date: 29 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
Methods
The study design and approach are acceptable.
The population needs to be clearly articulated, who they are and the inclusion criteria.
Data collection needs revision on the following aspect.
• Recruitment of the participants
• Who are the research assistants?
• Where was data collected?
• Langue used to collect data.
• Was the tool for in-depth interview and FGD the same
• Data saturation.
• How long did each interview takes
• Clarify on how focus group was conducted.
• How many?
• Were the research assistants also conducting the focus group?
• In authors contribution you mentioned that “ASI collected the data” - is this person a research
assistant?
• Elaborate how you piloted data tool.
• Briefly describe measures of trustworthiness and bias if any.
Ethical considerations
Too brief, it would be interesting if the following were briefly elaborated.
• How informed consent and Voluntary participation was obtained.
• How confidentiality was maintained
• What do you mean by pseudonyms – results it is not appearing as such.
Results
Well presented, however the presentation is little bit confusing in this sense:
It would have been better if the researchers indicated whether the tool for collecting data
among healthcare providers was different from the individual interview participants. Why am I
mentioning this? FGD reporting started from line 329, all along it was the women participants.
Hence, I suggest that the methodology need to be clear.
Discussion
Take care of spelling errors
Title: Perceptions of patients and healthcare providers regarding barriers and enablers of HIV
anti-retroviral therapy among women at a regional hospital in Ghana: Implications for national
HIV/AIDS control
Version: 1 Date: 15 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors
Thank you for submitting this report for consideration. Below are my comments.
1. The topic highlights an important area in the fight against HIV in SSA.
2. Abstract: The objectives of the study are not stated. They are important to check for alignment
with the study results.
3. Background: lines 52-59 are rather historical. Rather focus on HIV in SSA and issues around
access to ART in SSA and Ghana.
4.  Aim/Objectives: The study's aim or objectives are not mentioned. They are important to
check alignments with the study results.
5. Study population: Mention the inclusion criteria of the study population e.g. age range,
number of years providing ART, etc
6. Study design: Mention the study design in a combined manner e.g. a qualitative
phenomenological design was used to ......
7. Sample size: Some expectations guide qualitative studies in addition to the data saturation.
Read more on these and explain what guided the selected of the focus groups.
8. Ethical considerations: You need to explain how the study addressed the three ethical
principles. How was the collected data managed?
9. Results: You need to provide a description of the healthcare providers. were they doctors,
nurses, etc. How many were males vs females? What was the age distribution of the PLHIV?
You only provided the mean.
Emerging themes: Start with the enablers and then describe the challenges. Explain each theme
and how many sub-themes were developed. The excerpts must clearly align to the sub-themes
and only the relevant extracts should be used. E.g. lines 87-99 needs to be split as it addresses
more than 1 sub-theme.
Develop the themes to answer the research objectives i.e. from the information collected from
both the PLHIV and healthcare providers what are the drivers/enablers and challenges?
10. Discussion: this will be revisited as per the revised results section.
11.  Conclusion: Is it possible to address the barriers through policy? if so elaborate so that it
is clear.

Reviewer's report:
From my point of views, the manuscript has been improved and acceptable for publication.
It would be better in future to submit a clean manuscript with no track changes but highlighted
with differential color. The way it is presented now cause difficulties to follow it. However, all
the comments were implemented and clarified.

COMMENTS TO AUTHORS
Thank you for this very interesting paper that I enjoyed reading. It is well written and structured,
and I have some relatively minor comments that I hope are useful.
INTRODUCTION
This section provides a helpful background and justifies your study. A few things to mention:
• I recommend that the citation (3)(line 60) is updated, using a primary source (e.g., UNAIDS)
– there will be much more recent data available (given 2017 is 7 years ago…).
• Lines 89-91 – contrary to what you say, there is quite a lot of data around how HIV affects
women, and their experiences of taking ART, though perhaps not so much in Ghana specifically.
Can this be reworded?
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This section provides a useful overview of your study, and I note that the study received ethical
approval and that robust measures were in place to protect the participants.
My comments here:
• When were the data collected? It would be important to know.
• Data analysis – did you use any software to aid your analysis? There will be a lot of narrative
text derived from 16 interviews and a focus group. Did you code the data manually? Or with
software?
• Line 131 – I would recommend using ‘genders’ here rather than ‘sexes’.
• Line 161 – a minor point, but this should be ‘data were’ (check this throughout – it also appears
in the abstract.
RESULTS
This section provides useful insights into your findings – and I appreciated the illustrative
excerpts from the interviews. The themes you identified seem appropriate, and I especially
enjoyed reading about the ‘Model for Hope’ approach to maximise ART adherence, and its
positive impact.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
You pull your findings together and discuss them in some depth. I note that you cite other studies
with similar findings to yours, which is helpful especially for a qualitative study.
I would strongly recommend adding some limitations to your study – the obvious being that as
a qualitative study, so all the findings are based on people’s experiences in a single location.
There may be other limitations you need to include.
REVIEWER RECOMMENDATIONS
1. BACKGROUND: Ensure the most up to date citations are used to reflect current data, and
that the value of this study is its focus on Ghana.
2. METHODS: Confirm when the data were collected, clarify whether software was used to
assist the analysis, and replace ‘sexes’ with ‘gender’ on line 131.
3. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Add the limitations of your study, as you see them.
Title: Exploring Women's Perception and Attitude Towards Antidepressant Use: A Cross-
Sectional Study
Version: 1 Date: 01 Jun 2024
Reviewer:  Naseem Akhtar Qureshi
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
First I would like to congratulate all of you for conducting  a cross sectional study in pregnant
and  non-pregnant  women in KSA setting , first of its kind  , for exploring  their perceptions
and attitudes  towards antidepressants use.
Abstract, keywords, introduction, methods ,self tailored scales, data collection using online
method, statistical  analyses  and result  described well,  however  we found contradictory
remarks  and repetition  scattered  in this manuscript. Tables appear to be longer  than expected
with  shorter comments.
Discussion needs to be well organized with  positive and negative findings  should be placed in
right perspectives,  and limitations are  rightly highlighted .
This is a very simple study  and we feel  English writing  needs  further improvement.

Title: The mediating effect of self-efficacy on social support and cancer screening behavior
among Chinese women:a cross-sectional study
Version: 2 Date: 29 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled " The mediating effect of self-efficacy on social
support and cancer screening behavior among Chinese women:a cross-sectional study" which
falls within the aim of the Journal.
Although the manuscript can be considered already of good quality, I would suggest following
recommendations:
- I suggest round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve readability;
- Prevention and screening of oncological disease are still challenges. Considering the topic
and results of this study, I suggest reading and adding current evidence about gynecological
cancer, in particular cervical cancer, and the state of the art on HPV infections. I would be
glad if the authors discuss this important point with PMID: “State of the art on HPV-related
cervical lesions, Tullio Golia D’Augè, Ilaria Cuccu, Andrea Etrusco, Antonio D’Amato, Antonio
Simone Laganà, Ottavia D’Oria, Giorgio Bogani, Violante Di Donato, Ludovico Muzii, Andrea
Giannini, doi: 10.36129/jog.2024.16.
- HPV infection is a significant problem worldwide, and the persistence of HPV infection is
a challenge due its crucial role on precancerous gynecological and not gynecological lesions
progression. Considering the result of this study, I would be glad if the authors discuss this
important point with PMID: 37747763 and
Because of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Considering all these
points, I think it could be of interest to the readers and, in my opinion, it deserves the priority
to be published after minor revisions

Reviewer:  Indira Karibayeva
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
Thank you so much for the detailed reply to the previous round of review. I only have minor
suggestions:
1. In page 2  line 7 and page 13 line 21 please add a space: "The mean(standard deviation)."
"behavior for cancers.These findings "
2. Page 5 line 5 please revise to "...self-efficacy is an important individual belief."
Title: Physical activity and sleep quality among pregnant women during the first and second
trimesters are associated with mental health and adverse pregnancy outcomes
Version: 1 Date: 21 Mar 2024
Reviewer's report:
To the author
This is an epidemiological study investigating the relationship between exposure and outcome.
The study follows two groups of pregnant women in first or second trimester of the pregnancy
to observe the association between the exposure physical activity and sleep, and the outcomes
anxiety and depression in mid-pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The results revealed
that physical activity above a certain level and good sleep quality at first and second trimester was
beneficial to midpregnancy anxiety and depression. Further the incidence of adverse pregnancy
outcomes was higher in pregnant women with low physical activity and poor sleep quality.
The authors present the topic in a reliable way and the study in a structured manner. However,
I have some major and minor concerns:
MAJOR CONSERNS
- The aim of the study is described as a desire to investigate the effect of physical activity and
sleep on mental health and pregnancy outcomes, but the study design of the current study does
not support to investigate the effect of the exposure. To investigate the effect of an exposure on
an outcome, the study design should have an experimental design and contain an intervention.
I perceive the current study to be a cohort study and I suggest using a different term than effect
throughout the paper.
- It will strengthen the paper if the method is described in more detail, such as the recruitment
process and information about when the various measurements took place. E.g. “The sleep
quality of participants was all recorded” (page 7). When was this recorded during the study
period?
- There is no information about the missing data, and how these were treated.
MINOR CONSERNS
- Strengths and weaknesses of the study are presented and discussed in conclusions, but usually
this is presented in a separate section in the discussion section.
Title: A new treatment for Robert's uterus with adenomyosis: A case report and review of
the literature
Version: 2 Date: 01 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention.
Nevertheless, authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and
novel key articles about the topic.
Authors should consider the following recommendations:
- Manuscript should be further revised by a native English speaker.
-     It is a fairly good study; however, the manuscript needs extensive editing, and we suggest
you get assistance from a professional. Moreover, the title should reflect the research question,
and the Keywords should be based on MeSH terms.
- What are the actual clinical implications of this study? it is important to report the results
obtained by the authors in the context of clinical practice and to adequately highlight what
contribution this study adds to the literature already existing on the topic and to future study
perspectives.
-    The authors, referring to the following PMID: 37837497, should briefly discuss current
therapeutic options for the medical treatment of adenomyosis.
-    Adenomyosis can be found in both syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital uterine
anomalies and may result from different etiologies. Authors of a paper such as this one
under review should necessarily discuss the hypothesis that obstructions in congenital uterine
anomalies increase uterine pressure and promote the development of adenomyosis. Please refer
to the following PMID: 37240886.
Title: Effect of Whatsapp-based BETTER model sexual counselling on sexual function and
sexual quality of life in breast cancer survivors: A randomized control trial
Version: 1 Date: 08 Apr 2024
Reviewer:  Marzieh Bagherinia
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors
The study is "Effect of Whatsapp-based BETTER model sexual counselling on sexual function
and sexual quality of life in breast cancer survivors: A randomized control trial ". While the
study appears to be reasonably well conducted, the paper would benefit from careful revision
and additional study outcomes. I have the following specific suggestions.
1)The literature is insufficient. The signifiance of present study is not supported adequately using
literature. The researhers did not explaine that why they examined this study sufficiently. It is
not considered on value for the literature of this study.
2)The primary and secondary outcomes have not been determined #
3)Why is the sample size calculated based on the quality of sexual life variable? Is this variable
the main outcome of the study?
4)The inclusion and exclusion criteria are very strict and seem a little unrealistic. This should at a
minimum be justified. For example, the occurrence of any physical or mental illness or accident
and psychological trauma affecting sexual performance - what is meant? Why is this a criterion?
5)Many of the exclusion criteria would have happened during the study - were participants
excluded after randomisation? Exclusion criteria are criteria that exclude participants before the
are eligible to consent to take part and be randomised. Participants should not be excluded after
randomisation, but any events that occur after randomisation should be recorded and reported.
6)The results of the main analyses need to include reported effect sizes with confidence intervals
to show the size and certainty of the effect. P-values alone are not sufficient. It is difficult to
judge the validity of the conclusions without these results.
7) The strengths and limitations of the study should have been outlined and its implications for
day to day clinical practice and future research should have been explored.

Reviewer's report:
Dear Author,
I have some question about your manuscript.
1- In inclusion criteria, why you enter women in reproductive age?? Your study is about sexual
issues Not reproductive issues. I think all of the women in any age after breast cancer can face
several sexual challenges.
2- Would you please illustrate your method of intervention clearly? I could not understand what
did you do for intervention stage via WhatsApp.
3- I think your discussion should have more interpret illustration. You just talked about the
outcomes of previous researches.

Reviewer's report:
Dear authors
In line 27, "in a randomized control trial" should be better deleted.
in the abstract: The mean score of Female Sexual Function Index and The sexual quality of life-
female, before and after the intervention, should be mentioned in two groups .
The sample size formula should not be in the form of a photo.
The description of Table 1 should be shortened and the statistical test should be mentioned below
the table.
It is more attractive to show the change of mean score of Female Sexual Function Index and
The sexual quality of life with a graph.

Reviewer:  Neda Mohammadinia
Reviewer's report:
This study is interesting and valuable but you should pay attention to the following points, please.
1-The literature in introduction ,for to confirm the change in sexual function due to cancer
is insufficient. The importance of the subject and the reason for doing , present study is not
supported adequately.
2-In study design " Participants completed questionnaires prior to, immediately after and one
month after the intervention"
Please, explain why one month after the intervention ??
Because usually, three months after is fallow up after intervention.
3-where was the study done? City??
4- some of references are more than ten years ago . It is better to replace the article and reference
with a more up-to-date one.(2004,2011,2013,2014 ,..)
