Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine physical activity and life quality levels of pregnant

women and to examine relations between them.

Materials and Methods: A total of 210 women were included in this study. Sociodemographic

characteristics of the women were obtained by using the demographic information form. The

International Physical Activity Questionnaire—Short Form was used to investigate the women’s

physical activity levels and the Nottingham Health Profile to assess their life quality.

Results: There was a low negative correlation between physical activity level and the Nottingham

Health Profile total, energy level, social isolation and sleep subparameters (for total r =

-0.19, p = 0.007; for energy level r = - 0.17, p = 0.01; for social isolation r = -0.16, p = 0.01; and

for sleep r = -0.14, p = 0.03). When life quality and physical activity were compared on the basis

of gestational trimester, a significant difference was observed in the Nottingham Health Profile

total, emotional reactions, social isolation and physical activity parameters and the International

Physical Activity Questionnaire—Short Form values (p<0.05).

Discussion and Conclusion: In this study we found a negative relation between physical activity

and life quality levels. We are in the opinion that there is need to perform studies on larger

samples by using a physical activity questionnaire developed specifically to assess physical

activity in pregnancy.

Gebelerde Fiziksel Aktivite ve Yaşam Kalitesi Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada gebe kadınlarda fiziksel aktivite ve yaşam kalitesi seviyelerini belirlemek ve

bunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya gebelik nedeniyle başvuran toplam 210 kadın dahil edildi.

Çalışmada kadınların sosyodemografik özellikleri demografik bilgi formu ile toplandı. Kadınların

fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi—Kısa Formu ile, yaşam kaliteleri ise

Nottingham Sağlık Profili ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Fiziksel aktivite seviyesi ile Nottingham Sağlık Profili toplam, enerji seviyesi, sosyal izolasyon

ve uyku alt parametreleri arasında negatif yönde düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir korelasyon

vardı (toplam için r = -0,19; p = 0,007; enerji seviyesi için r = -0,17; p = 0,01; sosyal izolasyon için

r = -0,16; p = 0,01 ve uyku için r = -0,14; p = 0,03). Gebelik trimesterlerine göre yaşam kalitesi

ve fiziksel aktivite karşılaştırıldığında Nottingham Sağlık Profili toplam, emosyonel reaksiyonlar,

sosyal izolasyon, fiziksel aktivite parametreleri ile Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi—Kısa Formu

değerlerinde anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,05).

Tartışma ve Sonuç: Çalışmamızda fiziksel aktivite seviyesi ile yaşam kalitesi arasında negatif

yönde ilişki olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Daha geniş örneklemler üzerinde, gebelerde fiziksel aktiviteyi

değerlendiren gebeliğe özgü bir fiziksel aktivite anketi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilecek çalışmalara

ihtiyaç olduğu düşüncesindeyiz.
