Abstract
Problem: To determine whether body changes described and evaluated by women with preterm labor differed from those of women with normal pregnancies.
Methods: Experiences of weight, appetite, activity, and mood change experiences for four sequential time intervals of pregnancy from 41 women with preterm labor and 23 women with normal pregnancies were analyzed using log-linear procedures.
Findings: The pregnancies of women with preterm labor were characterized by greater frequencies of worrisome body changes up until the 28th week.
Conclusions & implications for nursing: Preterm labor was discussed as a problem of body image organization. Women with preterm labor have greater difficulty assimilating and accommodating to the body changes of pregnancy. A model of body change for preterm labor pregnancy was described. Study findings emphasized the importance of psychoemotional phenomena in preterm labor childbearing outcomes.
