Recent social media trends have demonstrated increased interest in dancing during the final weeks of pregnancy and labor. However, there is limited evidence about dancing during labor and its impact on labor pain and duration as well as patient satisfaction. Before conducting a prospective study, given that enrollment is often challenging, our feasibility study aimed to assess the willingness of pregnant women to participate in a future study evaluating low-impact dance during labor. We anonymously surveyed a convenience sample of English-speaking/reading pregnant women who presented for prenatal care at 1 of 3 clinics from June 2019 to July 2019. Questions related to women's interest in dancing during labor and limited demographic information were collected and analyzed. Overall, 88.6% of pregnant women who completed the survey expressed interest in participating in a future study on low-impact dance during labor, with Caucasian patients and those ≥35 years of age being less interested in future participation (P<0.05 for both). Interest in participating was not influenced by any other demographic characteristic, pregnancy history, or current activity level. Given sufficient interest among pregnant women in participating in a study aimed at evaluating the potential benefits of low-impact dance during labor, enrollment numbers may be easier to achieve than previously expected.
近期社交媒体趋势显示，在怀孕后期及分娩期间，人们对跳舞的兴趣有所增加。然而，关于分娩时跳舞及其对分娩疼痛、分娩时长以及患者满意度的影响，证据有限。在开展前瞻性研究之前，鉴于招募受试者往往具有挑战性，我们的可行性研究旨在评估孕妇参与未来一项关于分娩时低强度舞蹈研究的意愿。我们对2019年6月至2019年7月期间在3家诊所中的1家进行产前检查的会说英语/能读懂英文的孕妇便利样本进行了匿名调查。收集并分析了与女性在分娩时对跳舞的兴趣以及有限的人口统计学信息相关的问题。总体而言，完成调查的孕妇中有88.6%表示有兴趣参与未来一项关于分娩时低强度舞蹈的研究，白种人患者以及年龄≥35岁的患者对未来参与研究的兴趣较低（两者P均<0.05）。参与兴趣不受任何其他人口统计学特征、妊娠史或当前活动水平的影响。鉴于孕妇对参与一项旨在评估分娩时低强度舞蹈潜在益处的研究有足够兴趣，招募人数可能比之前预期的更容易实现。
