Abstract: (1267 Views)
Background & Aim: Women of reproductive age, especially after giving birth, are prone to overweight. Excess weight in the postpartum period is a problem for public health. آealth promotion is a process that enables people to have control over their health and mostly emphasis on disease prevention and self-care abilities. Considering that women are at the center of family health and are the main model of teaching and promoting a healthy lifestyle to the next generation, this study aimed to determine the health-promoting behaviors in postpartum women with High Body Mass Index in Urmia City, Iran.
Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 104 women who gave birth with a high body mass index, who were covered by health centers, were selected by available sampling method. The data collection tool was Standard Walker's Health Promotion Lifestyle Questionnaire, completed by self-report via WhatsApp. The data were then analyzed with SPSS-16 software, using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The mean age of the participants in the above study was 27.07±5.96 years and their average BMI was 27.82±1.6 years. The total score of health-promoting behaviors was 110.42±10.66, which was at the desired level. The highest mean score was related to interpersonal relations subscale (20.42±2.75) and the lowest mean score was for physical activity subscale (15.01±2.25).
Conclusion: In the current study, even though women's health-promoting behaviors are desirable, there is a need to promote health-promoting behaviors, especially in the field of eating habits and physical activity. Health education with various methods is a suitable tool to motivate and correct incorrect lifestyles. As a result, appropriate interventions to encourage health-promoting behaviors should be designed and implemented.
