Device-Based Measures Of Maternal Physical Activity, Pregnancy Nocturnal Glucose, Postpartum Sleep, And Infant Adiposity, Bethany R. Hallenbeck
Device-Based Measures Of Maternal Physical Activity, Pregnancy Nocturnal Glucose, Postpartum Sleep, And Infant Adiposity, Bethany R. Hallenbeck
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation presents physical activity, sedentary behavior, and bedrest (sleep estimation) data from ActiGraph devices worn during pregnancy and postpartum. Analyses of these data consider how these behaviors may relate to each other and health outcomes in the mother and child. The research aims to bridge the gap in understanding the intricate relationship between physical activity health behaviors and maternal and infant health metrics during the critical phases of pregnancy and postpartum. For this work, we employed repeated measures mixed modelling and integrated device-based, research-grade, ActiGraph data with clinical measures and survey responses to elucidate the multifaceted dynamics influencing a …

Perinatal Health In North Dakota: Emerging Issues, Grace N. Njau
Doctoral Dissertations
Preterm birth, newborn screening refusal, and postpartum depression represent three emerging areas of concern that have not been previously investigated in North Dakota. Their potential impact creates significant social, behavioral, and economic burdens. Although various studies have investigated preterm birth and postpartum depression, to the best of my knowledge, newborn screening refusal in the United States has not been previously investigated. In alignment with the role of Title V of the Social Security Act (Maternal and Child Health) Programs to conduct ongoing statewide needs assessments, the objectives of this study was to investigate and identify predictors of preterm birth, newborn …

EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is diagnosed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy and can usually be managed by healthy diet and exercise. There is currently a lack of clinical consensus regarding exercise prescription for GDM management. The current study aimed to elicit thoughts and feelings about exercise in women with GDM to inform the development of behavioral exercise intervention.
Methods: The research team conducted 20-minute semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. Interview questions were on the description of a typical day, opportunities to engage in exercise, challenges to exercising during pregnancy, exercise preferences during pregnancy, and thoughts about the …
Communication, Control, And Time: The Lived Experience Of Uncertainty In Adolescent Pregnancy, Elizabeth Dortch Dalton
Communication, Control, And Time: The Lived Experience Of Uncertainty In Adolescent Pregnancy, Elizabeth Dortch Dalton
Doctoral Dissertations
This study qualitatively examined the lived experience of uncertainty among pregnant adolescents. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, long interviews were conducted with 10 pregnant adolescent women between the ages of 15-18 years. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the process of phenomenological explication. Data, emergent themes, memos, and a detailed audit trail were maintained using the qualitative data analysis package Nvivo 10 for Mac (beta version). Findings can be summarized with eight themes that underlie the essence of uncertainty in adolescent pregnancy: suspicion and denial, disclosure and reactions, controlling the flow of information, relational renegotiation, the emerging reality of pregnancy, information …

The Energy Expenditure And Feasibility Of Two Prenatal Yoga Programs, Doree Lynn Gardner
Masters Theses
Purpose: To determine the energy expenditure and feasibility of two different DVD-‐ based prenatal yoga programs (static yoga practice and vinyasa practice). Methods: Participants were 25 women in their second trimester (13-‐28 weeks) who werescreened for pregnancy-‐related risk factors. The two DVDs used were “Prenatal Yoga with Shiva Rea” (DVD A) which is a static yoga practice, and “Jennifer Wolfes Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga” (DVD B) which is a flow yoga practice. Both DVDs were approximately 50-‐55 minutes, and included three phases (warm up, main, cool down). Each subject completed both prenatal DVD routines approximately two weeks apart. The …
