To evaluate the effect of a weight-gain restriction programme for obese pregnant women on sickness absence days and pregnancy benefit days during pregnancy and postpartum.
A prospective, controlled intervention study. The Swedish Social Security Agency's records were utilized to compile sickness absence and pregnancy benefit information.
Antenatal care clinics in the south-east of Sweden.
One hundred fifty-five obese pregnant women who participated in a weight restriction program with weekly structured motivational and behavioural talks combined with aqua-aerobics during pregnancy. A total of 193 obese pregnant women with no intervention served as controls.
Sickness absence benefits and pregnancy benefits expressed as a percentage.
On average women in the intervention group had 76.68 total full days of sickness absence benefit compared with 53.09 days in the control group. Total full days of pregnancy benefits were 39.66% days and 41.41% for the intervention and control groups respectively. For the women who were on sick leave there were no differences between the groups in the amount of days taken.
Given the complexity of factors that have an influence on sickness absence leave, it is possible that programmes that do not address the influence of social aspects and attitudes towards sickness absence have limited effect.
评估肥胖孕妇增重限制方案对孕期和产后病假和妊娠津贴天数的影响。
前瞻性、对照干预研究。利用瑞典社会保险局的记录编制了病假和妊娠津贴信息。
瑞典东南部的产前保健诊所。
155 名参加体重限制计划的肥胖孕妇，该计划每周进行结构化的动机和行为谈话，并在孕期进行水上有氧运动。共有 193 名肥胖孕妇未接受干预作为对照组。
病假津贴和妊娠津贴的百分比表示。
干预组平均有 76.68 天的全休病假，而对照组为 53.09 天。妊娠津贴的总天数分别为 39.66%和 41.41%。对于休病假的女性，两组的休假天数没有差异。
鉴于影响病假的因素复杂，不解决社会方面的影响和对病假的态度的方案可能效果有限。
