Effects of prenatal control on healthy eating in pregnant women
Keywords:
prenatal controls, healthy eating, pregnant women, EcuadorAbstract
Introduction: Prenatal control involves specific actions that a professional health team offers to the pregnant woman. One of these actions falls on the process of healthy eating, which can lead to better health indicators for the pregnant woman.
Objective: To assess the effect of prenatal control on healthy eating in pregnant women.
Methods: Quasi-experimental quantitative research. 41 pregnant women are studied, classified into two independent homogeneous groups (control group: n=20 and experimental group: n=21), all with normal weight in their third week of gestation. The experimental group underwent periodic medical visits for systematic prenatal control, which included general recommendations, with emphasis on nutritional ones.
Results: the group not subjected to systematic prenatal control had variations in body weight. Of the 20 mothers studied, 50% suffered notable variations in their weight. The Friedman test showed significant differences (p=0.020) in the control group, and not significant in the experimental group (p=0.472), while the Wilcoxon test also showed differences in the control group (p=0.011) and no differences in the experimental one (p=0.317) when comparing the initial test with the final one.
Conclusions: the advantages of a systematic process of prenatal control at home are evidenced, for which the medical team can personalize the recommendations and treatments directly related to the maintenance, decrease and percentage increase of the body mass index.
