Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of clinical Pilates on delivery outcomes in pregnant women. Materials and Method: Eighty-three pregnant women were included in the study. The study comprised pregnant women who voluntarily agreed to perform Pilates (n: 26, age: 28.77 ± 4.43 years) and a control group (n: 57, age: 28.18 ± 4.69 years) that did not perform Pilates. Pilates training was provided by a physiotherapist two days a week (1 h/session). Height, weight, weight gained during pregnancy, hemoglobin level, education level, duration of labor, type of delivery, birth week, induction requirement and duration, birth weight of infants, and APGAR (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace response, Activity, Respiration) scores were retrospectively recorded from the patient files. Results: It was found that Pilates did not have a negative effect on gestational age, birth week, birth weight of infants and APGAR scores. Pregnant women who performed Pilates gained less weight during pregnancy compared with those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study supports the conclusion that Pilates performed by pregnant women has a positive effect on delivery outcomes.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, gebelerde klinik pilatesin doğum sonuçları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereçler ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya seksen üç gebe dahil edildi. Çalışma grupları, pilates yapmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden (n: 26, yaş: 28.77 ± 4.43 yıl) çalışma grubu ve pilates yapmayan (n: 57, yaş: 28.18 ± 4.69 yıl) kontrol grubundan oluşturuldu. Pilates eğitimi haftada iki gün fizyoterapist tarafından sağlandı (1 saat / seans). Retrospektif olarak boy, kilo, gebelikte kazanılan kilo, hemoglobin düzeyi, eğitim düzeyi, doğum süresi, doğum şekli, doğum haftası, indüksiyon gereksinimi ve süresi, bebeklerin doğum ağırlığı ve APGAR (Görünüm, Nabız, Grimace yanıtı, Aktivite, Solunum) puanları hasta dosyalarından kaydedildi. Bulgular: Pilates'in gebelik yaşı, doğum haftası, bebeklerin doğum ağırlığı ve APGAR skorları üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi olmadığı bulundu. Pilates yapan gebeler hamilelikte kontrol grubuna göre daha az kilo aldı (p <0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, hamile kadınlar tarafından yapılan pilatesin doğum sonuçları üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğu sonucunu desteklemektedir.
