Abstract
Objective
To explore the feasibility, acceptability, and potential benefits associated with a mind–body intervention and varied delivery styles among women during the postpartum period.
Design
Mixed-methods feasibility study.
Setting
Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
Participants
Forty-three women (93% White), with an average age of 32.1 (SD = 2.9) years, who had given birth within the last 6 months.
Methods
Participants were randomized to three physical activity groups. Validated questionnaires were administered before and after the 12-week intervention. Attendance and feasibility metrics and qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted to assess the intervention.
Results
The intervention and trial were partially feasible, and retention to the intervention was high; however, adherence as assessed by attendance was lower than expected. There was high acceptability among those in the group-based, in-person intervention. There was moderate acceptability among those in the individual, home-based asynchronous program.
Conclusion
Findings highlight the necessity of better understanding what is desired by this population or simply providing more options to participants so that we can tailor physical activity to their needs and provide the necessary support.
