RESUMO
Objective:Constructing a physical fitness test index system for pregnant women to fully understand their physical fitness level and provide a reference for exercise prescription for this population.Methods:The system was established by way of literature review and Delphi survey, which was further validated on 60 pregnant women undergoing prenatal examination at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing Haidian District from November 7, 2019, to January 7, 2020. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction of pregnant women with the process and results of the physical fitness test. The test and survey data adopted the descriptive analysis. Paired sample t test was used for statistical analysis. Results:The index system of maternal physical fitness test during pregnancy was established through three rounds of expert discussion, and consists of three first-level indexes, 11 second-level indexes, and 23 third-level indexes. All 60 subjects completed the test successfully and no complaints or discomfort were reported. There was no significant difference in the fetal heart rate before and after the test [(142.1±3.8) vs (142.1±4.5) bpm; t=－0.025, P=0.980]. The average test duration was (32.6±3.4) min, and the average load consumption was (300.1±41.2) kcal (1 kcal=4.184 kJ). The questionnaire showed that all subjects were satisfied with the test process and results. Conclusions:The index system of physical fitness test for pregnant women established in this study is scientific, practical, and safe, which is a potential evaluation tool of the physical fitness level for pregnant women.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the mediating effect of the childbirth self-efficacy between mindfulness level and fear of childbirth in pregnant women.@*Methods@#A total of 285 pregnant women were measured with five facet mindfulness questionnaire(FFMQ), childbirth attitude questionnaire(FOC), and the short form of the Chinese childbirth self-efficacy inventory(CBSEI-C32).@*Results@#The scores of mindfulness level, fear of childbirth, outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy were(127.51±11.12), (31.44±8.84), (109.36±30.52)and(110.02±30.03), respectively.Pearson correlation analysis showed that mindfulness level was positively correlated with outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy(r=0.247, r=0.235, both P<0.01), while negatively correlated with fear of childbirth(r=-0.274, P<0.01). Outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy were negatively correlated with fear of childbirth(r=-0.251, r=-0.233, both P<0.01). The mediating effect of outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy between mindfulness level and fear of childbirth was significant(P<0.01), and the mediating effect sizes were 17.8% and 15.6%, respectively.@*Conclusion@#Childbirth self-efficacy partly mediates mindfulness level and fear of childbirth in pregnant women.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the mediating effect of the childbirth self-efficacy between mind-fulness level and fear of childbirth in pregnant women. Methods A total of 285 pregnant women were measured with five facet mindfulness questionnaire(FFMQ),childbirth attitude questionnaire(FOC),and the short form of the Chinese childbirth self-efficacy inventory(CBSEI-C32). Results The scores of mindful-ness level, fear of childbirth, outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy were ( 127. 51 ± 11. 12), (31. 44±8. 84),(109. 36±30. 52) and(110. 02±30. 03),respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that mindfulness level was positively correlated with outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy ( r=0. 247,r=0. 235,both P<0. 01),while negatively correlated with fear of childbirth(r=-0. 274,P<0. 01). Outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy were negatively correlated with fear of childbirth ( r=-0. 251,r=-0. 233,both P<0. 01). The mediating effect of outcome expectancy and self-efficacy expectancy between mindfulness level and fear of childbirth was significant(P<0. 01),and the mediating effect sizes were 17. 8% and 15. 6%, respectively. Conclusion Childbirth self-efficacy partly mediates mindfulness level and fear of childbirth in pregnant women.
