ABSTRACT The postpartum period is a vulnerable time for the onset of excess weight, especially in primiparous (first-time) mothers. Co-Active Life Coaching (CALC) is a cognitive behavioural technique that has shown utility for enhancing health in populations with obesity. While the Co-Active model has been grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), no empirical studies have investigated CALC as it relates to the fulfilment of SDT’s basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness). Using this theoretical lens, the purpose of this study was to explore qualitatively the experiences of primiparous women participating in a telephone-based CALC intervention. Nine first-time mothers engaged in eight-weekly sessions delivered by Certified Professional Co-Active Coaches. Semi-structured interviews were conducted following the intervention and analyzed using deductive thematic content analysis. Several detractors from (e.g., motherhood-specific challenges) and supporters of (e.g., being kind to oneself) SDT’s basic psychological needs were discussed in the context of health behaviour change. The coaching relationship and delivery mode were deemed especially helpful (e.g., providing a need-supportive environment, facilitating accountability). When provided by telephone, this coaching style may be a useful health promotion tool for primiparous mothers: a population with unpredictable schedules and multifaceted responsibilities. A larger sample size with a longer follow-up period is now recommended.

“善待自己-因为你做得很好”:使用自决理论探索参与主动式生活教练干预的初产女性的健康相关经历

摘要产后时期是超重发作的脆弱时期,尤其是在初产(初次)母亲中。积极生活教练(CALC)是一种认知行为技术,已显示出可用于增强肥胖人群健康的效用。虽然“共同主动”模型基于自决理论(SDT),但没有任何实证研究对CALC进行调查,因为它与SDT基本心理需求(自主性,能力和相关性)的实现有关。使用这种理论视角,本研究的目的是定性探索初次妇女参与基于电话的CALC干预的经验。九名初学者的母亲参加了由认证专业合作教练指导的每周八次的会议。干预后进行了半结构式访谈,并使用演绎主题内容分析进行了分析。在健康行为变化的背景下,讨论了一些抵制(例如,针对特定的母性挑战)的反对者和(如对自己友善)SDT基本心理需求的支持者。教练关系和交付模式被认为特别有帮助(例如,提供需要支持的环境,促进问责制)。如果通过电话提供,这种教练方式对于初产妈妈可能是一个有用的健康促进工具:计划时间表不可预测且职责多元的人群。现在建议采用较大的样本量,并延长随访时间。在健康行为改变的背景下,讨论了特定于母亲的挑战)和SDT基本心理需求的支持者(例如,对自己友善)。教练关系和交付模式被认为特别有帮助(例如,提供需要支持的环境,促进问责制)。如果通过电话提供,这种教练方式对于初产妈妈可能是一个有用的健康促进工具:计划时间表不可预测且职责多元的人群。现在建议采用较大的样本量,并延长随访时间。在健康行为改变的背景下,讨论了特定于母亲的挑战)和SDT基本心理需求的支持者(例如,对自己友善)。教练关系和交付模式被认为特别有帮助(例如,提供需要支持的环境,促进问责制)。如果通过电话提供,这种教练方式对于初产妈妈可能是一个有用的健康促进工具:计划时间表不可预测且职责多元的人群。现在建议采用较大的样本量,并延长随访时间。促进问责制)。如果通过电话提供,这种教练方式对于初产妈妈可能是一个有用的健康促进工具:计划时间表不可预测且职责多元的人群。现在建议采用较大的样本量,并延长随访时间。促进问责制)。如果通过电话提供,这种教练方式对于初产妈妈可能是一个有用的健康促进工具:计划时间表不可预测且职责多元的人群。现在建议采用较大的样本量,并延长随访时间。
