The impact of exercise and nutrition on body weight during the pregnancy

Obdobje nosečnosti predstavlja za žensko eno najlepših obdobij, zato je pomembno, da je nosečnica seznanjena o zdravem prehranjevanju in telesni aktivnosti v času nosečnosti, ter o ustreznem povečanju telesne teže v posameznih trimesečjih. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti pomen zdrave uravnotežene prehrane in telesne aktivnosti v času nosečnosti na počutje in zdravje nosečnice ter na razvoj in zdravje ploda, ter z raziskavo ugotoviti, koliko pridobijo nosečnice na telesni teži v času nosečnosti, kako se prehranjujejo in koliko so telesno aktivne. Raziskovalna metodologija: Raziskavo smo opravili v Zdravstvenem domu Dr. Adolfa Drolca v Mariboru med 100 ženskami, ki so pred kratkim rodile in so prišle na pregled v ginekološko ambulanto. Kot instrument raziskovanja smo uporabili anketni vprašalnik, ki je vseboval 20 vprašanj. Rezultati: Na podlagi analize pridobljenih rezultatov smo ugotovili, da se je večina nosečnic prehranjevalo zdravo, ter da je večina nosečnic pridobila v času nosečnosti primerno število kilogramov. Večina nosečnic je bila seznanjenih o vlivu prekomerne telesne teže na nosečnico ter na plod, kar pomeni, da nosečnice dobijo s strani zdravstvenega osebja dovolj informacij o zdravem načinu življenja v času nosečnosti. Sklep: Pomembno je, da nosečnica v času nosečnosti upošteva načela zdrave prehrane ter da je telesno aktivna, saj se lahko na ta način izogne težavam in boleznim v času nosečnosti, pri tem ima kot zdravstveni vzgojitelj pomembno vlogo tudi medicinska sestra.Platform: The pregnancy period is for a woman one of the most beautiful periods, so it is important that the pregnant woman is acquainted with healthy nutrition and physical activity during the pregnancy, and about the appropriate increase in body weight in the individual quarter.
