Despite scientific evidence on health benefits of an active lifestyle during and after pregnancy, a gap still exists between current and recommended practice in physical activity counselling. Undergraduate education in midwifery is fundamental for physical activity promotion in professional practice. The aim of this article is to present pedagogical aspects, preliminary results and discuss the relevance of the educational program Move Your Baby.
Between 2018 and 2020, 23 midwifery students (BSc) participated in the program at the School of Health Sciences (HESAV), HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western, Lausanne, Switzerland. Theoretical and practical workshops as well as adapted physical activity sessions, in direct contact with pregnant women, were offered and supervised by professional midwives and one expert in adapted physical activity. Data analysis based on an exploratory self-administered questionnaire was performed to rate pedagogical effectiveness, perceived skill level and identify barriers and facilitators to promote physical activity in their future profession.
Midwifery students perceived improvement in their knowledge, skills and confidence to promote physical activity during pregnancy. They rated the program as pedagogically effective. However, several barriers were identified such as lack of time and material resources to promote physical activity in professional practice.
This community-oriented educational program based on interplay of theory, hands-on experience and interprofessional collaboration was rated successful. Teaching physical activity in real-life settings facilitates midwifery students to identify with their professional role in the field of health promotion. Midwifery students require more opportunities to promote physical activity in their professional practice.
尽管有科学证据表明孕期及产后积极的生活方式对健康有益，但在体育活动咨询方面，当前实践与推荐做法之间仍存在差距。助产本科教育对于在专业实践中促进体育活动至关重要。本文旨在介绍教学方面、初步结果，并讨论“动起来，宝贝”教育项目的相关性。
2018年至2020年期间，23名助产专业学生（理学学士）参加了瑞士洛桑西部应用科学与艺术大学健康科学学院（HESAV）的该项目。由专业助产士和一名适应性体育活动专家提供并监督理论与实践工作坊以及与孕妇直接接触的适应性体育活动课程。基于一份探索性自填问卷进行数据分析，以评估教学效果、感知技能水平，并确定在未来职业中促进体育活动的障碍和促进因素。
助产专业学生认为他们在促进孕期体育活动方面的知识、技能和信心有所提高。他们认为该项目在教学上是有效的。然而，也发现了一些障碍，比如在专业实践中缺乏促进体育活动的时间和物质资源。
这个基于理论、实践经验和跨专业合作相互作用的面向社区的教育项目被认为是成功的。在现实生活环境中教授体育活动有助于助产专业学生认同他们在健康促进领域的专业角色。助产专业学生在其专业实践中需要更多促进体育活动的机会。
