Abstract
Purpose: The study was conducted to examine healthy lifestyle behaviors and perceived prenatal stress level and affecting factors in obese pregnants.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 159 obese pregnants with a gestational age of 37 weeks and above, with a BMI of 30 and above, who applied to the obstetrics clinic of a university hospital in Izmir between December 2020 and July 2021. Data were collected using the Individual Identification Form, the Prenatal Perceived Stress Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors II Scale.
Results: It was found that the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors II Scale mean scores of the obese pregnants included in the study were low and their perceived prenatal stress levels were high. It was determined that there was a negative, significant and high correlation (r= -0.715; p= 0.000) between the mean total score of the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors II Scale of obese pregnants and the mean scores of the Prenatal Perceived Stress Scale.
Conclusion: With a multidisciplinary team, care should be given to obese pregnants to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors and to avoid or manage stress.
