Abstract

The vast amount of online health resources accessible to the public and the pregnant population shows their high interest in using online health resources for their pregnancies. In this study, we specifically aimed to understand the experience and use of online pregnancy health information among Hispanic individuals, who are at higher risk of gaining outside of the recommended guideline of gestational weight gain (GWG) than the overall U.S. childbearing population. We conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 20 childbearing-age Hispanic individuals (who were either pregnant or non-pregnant) in the Austin area to explore seeking, understanding, and using online information about recommendations for GWG, diet, and physical activity during pregnancy. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we identified both user perspectives and website features that affected the participants' engagement with and application of online pregnancy information. We conclude that the benefits of online resources fill gaps left by healthcare providers. Nurses as care providers and content creators of health information can help translate guidelines into behaviors that Hispanic people could apply in their everyday lives.

西班牙人对孕期体重增加、饮食和身体活动在线信息的看法：一项定性研究。

公众和孕妇可以访问大量的在线卫生资源，这表明他们对使用在线卫生资源进行怀孕非常感兴趣。在这项研究中，我们特别旨在了解西班牙裔个体对在线妊娠健康信息的体验和使用情况，这些个体比美国总体生育人口有更高的妊娠期体重增加推荐指南（GWG）的风险。我们对奥斯汀地区的20名育龄西班牙裔个体（怀孕或未怀孕）进行了面对面的半结构化访谈，以探索寻求、理解和使用有关怀孕期间GWG、饮食和体育活动建议的在线信息。使用反身性主题分析，我们确定了影响参与者参与和应用在线怀孕信息的用户视角和网站特征。我们的结论是，在线资源的好处填补了医疗保健提供者留下的空白。护士作为护理提供者和健康信息的内容创造者可以帮助将指南转化为西班牙裔人可以在日常生活中应用的行为。
