To describe pregnant women's experiences and perceived facilitators/barriers of a prenatal yoga intervention to prevent excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG).
Pregnant women (N = 13) were interviewed after participation in a 12-week prenatal yoga intervention to prevent EGWG. Interviews were summarized using thematic analysis.
Twelve themes were identified and organized into four categories: 1) experiences of prenatal yoga (positive experience/enjoyment, pain relief, connecting to body), 2) prenatal yoga and weight (increased mindfulness/self-awareness, increased physical activity, weight management), 3) barriers to prenatal yoga (physical body, commute/traffic, schedule), and 4) facilitators of prenatal yoga (healthy pregnancy, support from other pregnant women, the feeling from prenatal yoga).
Prenatal yoga may relieve pain and help women be more connected to their bodies. Prenatal yoga may also help women become more aware of their health behaviors and increases their physical activity which may have important implications for reducing EGWG.
描述孕妇参与预防妊娠体重过度增加(EGWG)的产前瑜伽干预的体验,以及她们感知到的促进因素/障碍。
在参与为期 12 周的预防 EGWG 的产前瑜伽干预后,对孕妇(N=13)进行了访谈。使用主题分析对访谈进行总结。
确定了 12 个主题,并将其组织成四个类别:1)产前瑜伽体验(积极体验/享受、缓解疼痛、与身体连接);2)产前瑜伽与体重(增加正念/自我意识、增加身体活动、体重管理);3)产前瑜伽的障碍(身体、通勤/交通、日程安排);4)产前瑜伽的促进因素(健康妊娠、来自其他孕妇的支持、产前瑜伽的感觉)。
产前瑜伽可能缓解疼痛,帮助女性更好地与身体连接。产前瑜伽还可能帮助女性更加了解自己的健康行为,增加身体活动,这对减少 EGWG 可能具有重要意义。
