The Effects of a Self-Management Program on Weight Control Behaviors and Appropriate Weight Gain among Overweight and Obese Pregnant Women
Keywords:
Overweight/Obesity Pregnant Women, Self–Management Program, Weight Control Behavior, Appropriate Weight GainAbstract
This pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate the effects of a self-management program on weight control behaviors, and appropriate weight gain, in overweight or obese pregnant women. Participants consisted of overweight or obese pregnant women who received antenatal care services at Jainad Narendra hospital from September 2020 to January 2021. Samples who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected into either the experimental group (n = 25) or the control group (n=25). Data were collected by using a self-administered weight control behavior questionnaire. The instrument had a content validity index of 1.00. and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .87. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, chi-square, Fisher’s Exact test, Mann-Whitney U, and t-test.
The results indicated that the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score of weight control behaviors than those in the control group (t48=3.91, p<.001). Additionally, the participants in the experimental group had a proportion of normal weight gain significantly higher than those in the control group (c2=15.71, p<.001).
Therefore, nurses in the antenatal care units could apply this self-management program to modify the weight-control behaviors of overweight or obese pregnant women. This might improve their appropriate weight gain as well, as it is recommended.
