In our survey of 500 mothers with children 0-5 years involving telephone interviews (n = 450) and focus groups (n = 50), we showed that 87% of mothers telephone surveyed used a pram for incidental activities, whilst 47% used the pram specifically for exercise. Factors preventing mothers exercising more included poor weather, lack of time, and poor quality paths. Ninety-two percent of mothers believed that pram walking would increase mental well-being, and 87% felt that it would help to reduce postnatal depression (PND). However, feedback from focus groups expressed less confidence in the program's ability to potentially benefit mothers with PND. Programs will have to be marketed carefully to avoid the stigma associated with PND and successfully target mothers at risk.
在我们对500名有0至5岁孩子的母亲进行的调查中，采用了电话访谈（n = 450）和焦点小组访谈（n = 50）的方式。我们发现，接受电话调查的母亲中有87%会使用婴儿车进行一些日常活动，而47%的母亲会专门使用婴儿车进行锻炼。阻碍母亲更多锻炼的因素包括天气不好、时间不足以及道路质量差。92%的母亲认为推婴儿车散步能增进心理健康，87%的母亲觉得这有助于减少产后抑郁症（PND）。然而，焦点小组的反馈表明，对该项目可能使患有产后抑郁症的母亲受益的能力信心较低。必须谨慎推广这些项目，以避免与产后抑郁症相关的污名，并成功针对有风险的母亲群体。
