Descrição detalhada
Maternal overweight and obesity is a growing public health concern in Singapore. A recent Singaporean prospective cohort study examined 724 pregnant women and reported that 26.2% of the women had a total gestational weight gain (GWG) which exceed the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 2009 guidelines. When examined based on body mass index (BMI), overweight and obese women had significantly increased risk of gaining gestational weight above IOM recommendations, compared to normal weight women. Higher GWG have previously been linked to adverse maternal and infant outcomes including higher rates of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and primary caesarean delivery, large for age (LGA) infant, macrosomia and increased risk of childhood overweight/obesity. Given the impact of maternal GWG on pregnancy and infant outcomes, there is a need for a targeted behavioural intervention. As effective health behaviour change requires early initiation and maintenance of change, women before, during and after pregnancy should be targeted. Furthermore, high pre-pregnancy BMI have been shown to be linked with increased risk of GDM and type 2 diabetes post-delivery, and higher infant birthweight, child obesity and atypical child neurodevelopment. Accordingly, this highlights the need for early behavioural intervention beginning with women trying to get pregnant. Current studies have focused predominantly on individual factors contributing to maternal obesity in relation to infant outcomes, both immediately postpartum and prospectively into early childhood. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological model, key contextual factors involving the micro-, meso-, exo-, macro- and chronosystem are important factors contributing to the efficacy of digital means on health behavioural change among pregnant women. From this theoretical orientation, understanding individual factors involving motivation and contextual influences is central to facilitating health behaviour change. Specifically, elucidating the proximal (e.g. peers, family) and distal factors (e.g. community, health services) embedded within specific cultural contexts ensure sustainability of behaviour change among pregnant women.
As Singapore is a culturally diverse society, there is a need to understand the impact of cultural factors on maternal behaviours and decision making. Accordingly, the current study will consist of a qualitative assessment of 60 participants who will undergo semi-structured interviews with the aim to understand motivations and contextual influences that induce and sustain behaviour change, so as to inform future interventions for women before, during and after pregnancy. As digital health intervention in pregnant women has been shown to be cost-effective and scalable, the current study also aims to understand women's usage of technology throughout the process of trying to conceive, being pregnant and being a new mother within the local Singapore context.

Experiences and technology usage among women
Prazo: 1 year
|
We will conduct semi-structured interviews with women who are either trying to conceive, pregnant or have a child aged 0 to 2 years.
The interviews seek to find out about the participants' pregnancy/maternal-related experiences including the challenges faced, lifestyle changes made, support systems and experience with the health system.
Participants will also be asked about their previous and current experiences with technology usage, such as the type of technology used and the purposes of technology usage.
Additionally, there will also be two questionnaires, conducted pre- and post-interview, on the participants' demographics and their opinions on technical aspects of digital platforms.
