摘要

背景:产前抑郁是产后抑郁和随后的母婴依恋受损的最大危险因素。产前瑜伽可以改善怀孕期间的身心健康,并支持母婴依恋。然而,由于缺乏标准化,将其纳入围产期护理仍然有限。这项研究主要评估了由伦敦国王学院和国家心理健康和神经科学研究所(NIMHANS)共同开发的产前瑜伽模块的可行性。本研究旨在评估第一个严格设计,科学支持的产前瑜伽模块对心理健康和母婴依恋的可行性。方法:我们通过初步患者和公众参与(PPI)以及与NIMHANS的为期3个月的合作项目共同开发了PRENAYOGA干预措施。最后的瑜伽模块包括在伦敦南部进行为期8周的每两周1小时的课程,有15名少数民族女性参加。在基线、4周和8周收集数据。可行性结果,包括干预的可接受性、适当性和出勤率,使用有效的措施和焦点小组数据进行评估。临床探索性结果,如心理健康和母胎依恋、生活质量、社会支持和自我效能感也进行了评估。结果:研究结果证明了参与者和利益相关者对适应性瑜伽模块的接受性和适当性。出勤率和流失率以及定性分析强调了持续参与的障碍和推动因素。参与者报告说,他们的身心健康、灵活性和身体疾病得到了改善。对训练频率和持续时间的研究表明,每周两次1小时的训练,持续8周是可行的模式,80%的人每周至少参加一次。瑜伽老师强调社区建设方面,并根据学员的独特需求调整课程。初步的临床研究结果表明,心理健康和母婴依恋有所改善,尽管这些还需要进一步的研究。结论:这些初步结果表明严格发展产前瑜伽对少数民族人群的潜在益处。这些发现支持需要进行更大规模的试验来评估该模块的临床有效性和可扩展性;这样的研究将有助于为代表性不足的人群提供基于证据的产前护理。试验注册:ClinicalTrial.gov标识符:NCT05824208。

Co-designing and evaluating a prenatal yoga intervention for ethnic minority women: a feasibility study.

Background: Prenatal depression is the greatest risk factor for postnatal depression and subsequently, impaired mother-infant attachment. Prenatal yoga may improve both mental and physical health during pregnancy and support mother-fetal attachment. However, its integration into perinatal care remains limited due to a lack of standardization. This study primarily assessed the feasibility of a prenatal yoga module co-developed by King's College London and the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the first rigorously designed, scientifically backed prenatal yoga module for mental health and mother-fetal attachment.

Methods: We codeveloped the PRENAYOGA intervention through Preliminary Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and a 3-month collaboration project with NIMHANS. The final yoga module consisted of biweekly 1-h sessions for 8 weeks in South London, with 15 ethnic minority women. Data were collected at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. Feasibility outcomes, including intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and attendance, were assessed using validated measures and focus group data. Clinical exploratory outcomes, such as mental health and maternal-fetal attachment, quality of life, social support, and self-efficacy were also evaluated.

Results: The findings demonstrated the acceptability and appropriateness of the adapted yoga module among participants and stakeholders. Attendance and attrition rates alongside qualitative analyses highlighted both barriers and enablers to sustained engagement. Participants reported enhanced physical and mental health, flexibility, and relief from physical ailments. Insights into session frequency and duration suggested that two 1-h sessions per week for 8 weeks are a viable model, with 80% attending at least once weekly. Yoga teachers highlighted the community-building aspect and adapted sessions to participants' unique needs. Preliminary clinical findings suggested improvements in mental health and maternal-fetal attachment, though these require further investigation.

Conclusions: These preliminary results indicate the potential benefit of rigorously developed prenatal yoga for ethnic minority populations. These findings support the need for larger trials to evaluate the module's clinical effectiveness and scalability; such research would contribute to evidence-based prenatal care for underrepresented populations.

期刊介绍: Pilot and Feasibility Studies encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of pilot and feasibility studies in biomedicine. The journal publishes research articles that are intended to directly influence future clinical trials or large scale observational studies, as well as protocols, commentaries and methodology articles. The journal also ensures that the results of all well-conducted, peer-reviewed, pilot and feasibility studies are published, regardless of outcome or significance of findings. Pilot and feasibility studies are increasingly conducted prior to a full randomized controlled trial. However, these studies often lack clear objectives, many remain unpublished, and there is confusion over the meanings of the words “pilot” and “feasibility”. Pilot and Feasibility Studies provides a forum for discussion around this key aspect of the scientific process, and seeks to ensure that these studies are published, so as to complete the publication thread for clinical research.
