초임부의 임신경험과 임신 중 체중변화에 대한 태도와의 관계

Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to examine the correlations between pregnancy experience and attitude re\x1fgarding weight change during pregnancy.\nMethods: This correlative study was conducted from July 2017 to October 2017 by involving 156 primigravida women who were over pregnancy 20 weeks in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do province. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which included questions on demographic data, experience during pregnancy, and attitude regarding weight change during pregnancy. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Also, independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson s correlation coefficients were used for data analysis.\nResults: The mean age of the participants was 30.62 years and their score of attitude regarding weight gain during pregnancy was low. Moreover, a significant correlation was found between the pregnancy experience and attitude regarding weight gain during pregnancy in primigravida women.\nConclusion: As a result of analyzing the correlation between pregnancy experience and attitude towards weight gain during pregnancy, it is apparent that attitudes toward weight change are dif\x1fferent according to experience during pregnancy in women. Based on these results, it can be con\x1fcluded that nursing intervention programs are necessitated to enhance the attitude of pregnant primigravida women towards pregnancy and weight gain.
