Abstract

Introduction: In the last decade, yoga has attracted much attention from researchers. Although there are many studies on yoga, research on the effect of prenatal yoga on pregnancy-related symptoms is limited. This study aimed to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on pregnancy-related symptoms.

Methods: The study was conducted at antenatal care services between June 2018 and October 2018 in Turkey. Simple random method was used to assign participants to the study arms. The yoga group attended a prenatal yoga program for 60 min once a week for 4 weeks. The control group received routine care. Data were collected before and after the intervention using the Descriptive Characteristics Form and Pregnancy Symptoms Inventory. Data analysis used descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation/standard error, and percentages), χ2, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests. Significance was set at p < 0.05.

Results: The study was completed with 70 participants (the yoga group: 35; the control group: 35). The yoga group had a significantly lower posttest Pregnancy Symptoms Inventory Symptom Frequency Total Score than the pretest score (38.42 ± 18.76 vs. 32.77 ± 16.55, p < 0.05). The total score of the yoga group's gastrointestinal, respiratory, and mental health symptoms was reduced after the intervention (respectively, 6.74 ± 4.32 vs. 5.31 ± 3.38; 1.48 ± 1.26 vs. 1.05 ± 1.13; 7.08 ± 4.59 vs. 5.22 ± 3.48, p < 0.05). The yoga group had significantly lower mental health symptom scores than the control group (5.22 ± 3.48 vs. 7.34 ± 4.02, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the control group's pretest and posttest Pregnancy Symptoms Inventory Symptom Frequency Scores.

Conclusion: Pregnancy-related symptoms were significantly reduced in the yoga group. It is thought that prenatal yoga may be effective on pregnancy-related symptoms. Yoga can be recommended to cope with pregnancy-related symptoms and support activities of daily living.

产前瑜伽对妊娠相关症状的影响：一项试点准实验研究。

引言近十年来，瑜伽备受研究人员的关注。虽然关于瑜伽的研究很多，但产前瑜伽对孕期相关症状的影响研究却很有限。本研究旨在确定产前瑜伽对妊娠相关症状的影响：研究于2018年6月至2018年10月期间在土耳其产前护理服务机构进行。采用简单随机法将参与者分配到研究组。瑜伽组参加产前瑜伽课程，每周一次，每次 60 分钟，为期 4 周。对照组接受常规护理。使用描述性特征表和妊娠症状量表收集干预前后的数据。数据分析采用描述性统计（平均值、标准差/标准误差和百分比）、χ2、Mann-Whitney 和 Wilcoxon 检验。显著性以 p < 0.05 为标准：研究共有 70 人参加（瑜伽组 35 人；对照组 35 人）。瑜伽组的妊娠症状量表症状频率总分在测试后明显低于测试前（38.42 ± 18.76 vs. 32.77 ± 16.55，P < 0.05）。瑜伽组的胃肠道、呼吸道和心理健康症状总分在干预后有所降低（分别为 6.74 ± 4.32 vs. 5.31 ± 3.38；1.48 ± 1.26 vs. 1.05 ± 1.13；7.08 ± 4.59 vs. 5.22 ± 3.48，P < 0.05）。瑜伽组的心理健康症状得分明显低于对照组（5.22 ± 3.48 vs. 7.34 ± 4.02，p < 0.05）。对照组在测试前和测试后的妊娠症状量表症状频率得分没有明显差异：结论：瑜伽组的妊娠相关症状明显减少。结论：瑜伽组的妊娠相关症状明显减轻，产前瑜伽可能对妊娠相关症状有效。建议通过瑜伽来应对与妊娠有关的症状，并支持日常生活活动。
