29 juni 2022 uppdaterad av: Assoc. Prof. Nur Islami Bt Mohd Fahmi Teng, Universiti Teknologi Mara

The Effectiveness of Nutrition and Physical Activity Intervention on Psychosocial Well-Being of Mothers With Preterm Infants in Selangor

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of nutrition and physical intervention to improve psychosocial well-being of postpartum mothers with preterm infants. The focus was highlighted towards the mothers of preterm infants who were cared in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as these parents might have a higher stress level than the full-term infants. The intervention consisted of a module designed for postpartum mothers, incorporating nutrition and physical activity entitled Mommies can Eat & Exercise with No Stress (MomEENS).

Detaljerad beskrivning

The intervention is aim to encourage the participant to have better nutrition intake and engage in low to moderate-intensity exercise on 3 to 5 days per week, for 8 weeks in order to improve their psychosocial well-being. After being informed about the study and potential risks, the participants will be screened according to their eligibility criteria. The participants who are eligible to participate in the study will be contacted again and asked for consent to join the study. After obtaining the consent, the participant will undergo a baseline assessment, and subsequently, the investigator will assign the participant to their respective groups, the intervention and control groups. All of the health assessments will be conducted at baseline, 4th week and 8th week.

In intervention group, the participant will be provided an educational module entitled "Mommies can Eat and Exercise with No Stress" (MomEENS), in which the module will be delivered through a booklet and video. The MomEENS module incorporated achievement-based objectives for five key recommendations: 1. Eat healthy foods ;2. Eat foods rich in iron and folic acid; 3. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids; 4. Increase steps in a day and; 5. Increase body flexibility and strength. All the key recommendations will be explained in the booklet, while the video will provide full guidance on how to exercise during postpartum at home, explaining key recommendations 4 and 5.

Face-to-face consultation with the participants will be held at baseline and 4th week to enhance the participation and motivation of the participants towards the intervention. Besides, Whatsapp and Facebook page group is developed as a step to enhance the compliance of participants towards intervention. The group will be created soon after the participants undergo the baseline phase. Whatsapp group provides a medium for participant to ask, share, and communicate with other participants (only within the intervention group) regarding the intervention activities they commit. On the other hand, Facebook page group will provide a forum to support and additional related information. In addition to the continuity of the compliance, telephone follow-up calls will be at least administered once for every two weeks, lasting for about 5 to 10 minutes for each call. It is aimed to monitor the participant's progress while engaging in appropriating self-management behaviours.

The participants in the control group will be received advice on the standardised Malaysian food pyramid and be instructed to follow their usual standard care as suggested by their healthcare provider. Postpartum women in Malaysia typically attend postpartum healthcare visits with an exam on day 30 after childbirth but receive no other routine care following this appointment unless a specific health problem has been identified. Participants in the control group performed the same evaluations. They received the same incentives as those in the intervention group, but they did not receive any educational module and contact from the investigator during the 8 weeks follow-up.

Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Depression Screening Status at 8 weeks
The presence of depressive symptoms will be assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). The EPDS is a 10-item self-administered questionnaire designed specifically to measure postpartum depression. All items will be rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale, with a total score ranging from 0-30. Categories of response are scored 0,1,2, and 3 based on increased symptom severity. EPDS can only be used for screening but not for the clinical diagnosis of depression. The Malay version of the scale was validated in the local setting with the cut off 11/12 was used to determine a woman at risk of having depressive symptoms. Score of ≥12 indicates the presence of postpartum depression whereas <12 indicates absence of postpartum depression.

Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Perceived Stress Status at 8 weeks
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was developed by Sheldon Cohen & Williamson (1988), designed to measure the degree to which circumstances of an individual are considered stressful via their feelings and thoughts in the past month. The item asked regarding the current levels of stress, unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded events, unexpectedly occur during their lives. The PSS consist of 10 items, derived from 5-point Likert scale (0= never, 1= almost never, 2= sometimes, 3= fairly often, 4= very often). Four items that are positively stated (item 4,5,7, and 8) are scored reversely (0= very often, 1= fairy often, 2= sometimes, 3= almost never, 4= never). The total score is calculated from the sum of 10 items, whereas higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress. In this study, Malay version of PSS-10 is used to enable participants to understand the questions asked and to make the assessment more culturally appropriate.

Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Sleep Quality Status at 8 weeks
The Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS) consists of 14 item scale, designed to assess subjective sleep quality during postpartum periods. Two domains were developed from the PSQS: "Factor 1: Infant night care-related daytime dysfunction", and "Factor 2: Physical symptoms related sleep inefficiency". Factor 1 explained how having care of infants at night impacted the quality of postpartum woman's sleep and the ability to handle daytime activities. Factor 2 described the physiological factors underlying sleep and sleep inefficiency symptoms of a woman. The PSQS found to be a valid and reliable tool, as previous study had demonstrated PSQS have adequate internal consistency between the item (Cronbach's α= 0.88; Factor I α =0.89, Factor II α= 0.82).

Positive Affect Balance Scale (PABS)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Psychosocial Well-being Status at 8 weeks
This scale consist of 10 item scales, which 5 items were developed for each positive and negative affect components, asking the psychological reactions of people respond to their daily lives, and individual's ability to cope with daily stresses. "Positive affect" questions are associate to social participation, satisfaction with social life, and engagement in activities. Three-point scale of "never", "sometimes", or "often" are answers made to the questions represents the past week's experiences. All calculations of positive affect score, a negative affect score and a total affect balance score can be made. The positive impact score (ranging from 5 to 15) with 15 being the highest (most positive result) will be used in this study. PABS has been proven to be a reliable tool for measuring psychosocial well-being, as reported by previous study.

Multiple Pass 24-Hour Diet Recall
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Dietary Intake at 8 weeks
A multiple pass 24-hour diet recall will be performed to assess the dietary intake of the mother. Multiple pass 24-hour diet recall found to maximise recall accuracy for quantitation, with the used of the following algorithm: The first pass encourages the respondent to freely report all food and drink consumption for the previous 24 hours without any interruption. In second pass, the researcher probes for greater details on the exact time, type and quantity of food and drink consumed, and in the final pass, the researcher reviews all food reported in order, prompting for omissions and clarifying the ambiguities. Nutrient analysis software, the Nutritionist Pro Diet Analysis, will be used to calculate the average nutrients intake, which is based on the Nutrient Composition of Malaysian Foods database and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foods database.

Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy -Short Form (BSES-SF)
Tidsram: Change from Baseline Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy at 8 weeks
The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form (BSES-SF) is a self-report instrument developed to measure breastfeeding confidence. BSES-SF consist of 14 items, with each item is followed by the phrase "I can always". The answer option is assisted with a 5-point Likert-type scale where 1 indicates not at all confident and 5 indicates always confident. The sum of all items will be in the range of 14 for the minimum score, and 70 is the maximum score, which indicates the data as continuous. BSES-SF is a very excellent measure of breastfeeding efficacy as it has shown a high reliability (with Chronbach's Alpha value is 0.97) and validity score (BSES-SF is significantly correlated (p< 0.05) with other theoretically related concepts (self-esteem, postpartum depression and perceived stress).
