Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on weight gain, dietary habits, fatigue and pregnancy stress, blood pressure, and neonatal birth weight, using Cox¡¯s interaction model of client health behavior for overweight and obese women.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. A total of 52 patients who met the selection criteria, including 25 in the experimental group and 27 in the control group, were the subjects of the study; they comprised overweight and obese pregnant women who were receiving prenatal care at A and B women¡¯s hospital in J province. The lifestyle intervention program ran for 12 weeks in total and consisted of interactions involving affective support, health information, and professional/technical competencies. The data collection period was from February 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017.
Results: This study showed differences in the appropriate weight gain rate (c2=6.17, p =.013), suppression of an increase in fatigue (t=-2.32, p =.012), and an increase in pregnancy stress (t=-1.87, p =.034). Yet, no differences in physical activity, dietary habits change, blood pressure, and neonatal birth weight (p >.05) were found.
Conclusion: The study findings indicate that this program could be an effective intervention for the control of appropriate weight gain, fatigue, and pregnancy stress. Therefore, a lifestyle intervention program based on Cox¡¯s interaction model of client health behavior could be an efficient strategy for a positive health outcome of overweight and obesity pregnant women.
