简要总结
Investigating the influence of an early postnatal mother and baby yoga programme on maternal mental health and relationship with baby: a randomised feasibility study.
It is thought postnatal mother and baby yoga decreases levels of depression and anxiety and increases subjective experience of maternal-infant bonding. This project will provide the necessary data to determine whether a regular programme would be beneficial to mothers.
The research study is an eight-week online programme incorporating gentle postnatal mother and baby yoga involving women 6-12 weeks following birth (at recruitment/study commencement). The outcome measures include mothers' feelings about their mental health and bond with their baby.
详细描述
The intended research is an eight-week online programme incorporating gentle postnatal mother and baby yoga.The project will provide essential pilot data to help determine whether mother and baby yoga would be beneficial if offered as a regular service. To achieve this aim, the following study objectives will be addressed:
- Identify possible links between participation a in programme of mother and baby yoga and maternal subjective experience with mental health
- Verify whether mother and baby yoga can influence mothers feelings about the bond with their baby
- Request feedback from the participants to examine the feasibility of running a similar larger study
The outcome measures include mental health and feelings about bonding. The project will provide essential pilot data to help determine whether parent and baby yoga would be acceptable and beneficial if offered as a regular service. Pregnant women and new mothers have suffered negative mental health impacts of COVID-19. An online course has been designed to mitigate anxieties associated with the pandemic, enabling women to follow the course in their own time within a safe environment.
The mental health of women during and after pregnancy is of major concern to health professionals, families and society. 20% of women develop mental health problems during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth. Mental health is the third largest cause of direct maternal deaths during or within 42 days of pregnancy. Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death within a year of giving birth.
Perinatal mental health problems in the UK cost £8.1 billion per year. The average cost to society of one case of perinatal depression is around £74,000, of which £23,000 relates to the mother and £51,000 relates to the impacts on the child. The cost of mental health to the public sector is five times more than the cost of improving mental health services.

结局指标
主要结局
Maternal subjective experience of their mental health during and post online yoga
时间窗: 8 weeks
This is an explorative feasibility study which will expand current knowledge on the link between participation in a mother and baby yoga program \& maternal subjective experience with mental health. Mental health related outcomes are measured using the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (a score of \>112 requires further evaluation). Using well-established scales allows for comparison with other studies. A short two weekly questionnaire is sent to all participants for the duration of the study. Many studies have found the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (scores range from 10 - 50 on both scales with higher scores on the positive affect scale representing higher levels of positive affect, and lower scores on the negative affect scale representing lower levels of negative affect) to be a reliable and valid tool.
