mHealth-Based Diabetes Prevention Program for Chinese Mothers With Abdominal Obesity: Randomized Controlled Trial

mHealth-Based Diabetes Prevention Program for Chinese Mothers With Abdominal Obesity: Randomized Controlled Trial

Mothers rarely had free time to participate in face-to-face health promotion programs [10], albeit abdominal obesity is highly prevalent among middle-aged mothers with a normal BMI [11,12]. How to prevent diabetes among abdominally obese people has become an increasingly critical question in China, especially among mothers. A healthy lifestyle, including low-calorie diets, high levels of physical activity, and self-management to lose weight or WC, benefits high-risk groups with diabetes.

A Simple and Systematic Approach to Qualitative Data Extraction From Social Media for Novice Health Care Researchers: Tutorial

Furthermore, Facebook is popular among mothers who are seeking parenting information [28] and is unique in terms of its various groups, such as Facebook mother’s groups, in which the members can participate. Given all these points, Facebook was selected as the social media platform for the study. After selecting the social media platform that aligns with the target population, the next step is to identify the data to be extracted for subsequent analysis.

Photos Shared on Facebook in the Context of Safe Sleep Recommendations: Content Analysis of Images

Photos Shared on Facebook in the Context of Safe Sleep Recommendations: Content Analysis of Images

Mothers especially seek community and informational support—often found in online environments [8,13]. Given the breadth of information shared on social media, analyzing data from this source can identify concerns and practices of specific populations. Due to the stagnation in the prevention of SUID [1,2], we believed it would be helpful to complete a qualitative content analysis on Facebook and assess how mothers discuss SUID and safe sleep.

Understanding the Tensions of “Good Motherhood” Through Women’s Digital Technology Use: Descriptive Qualitative Study

Understanding the Tensions of “Good Motherhood” Through Women’s Digital Technology Use: Descriptive Qualitative Study

With such demanding sociocultural expectations placed on new mothers, it is foreseeable that mothers regularly report feeling guilty when they do not or cannot exude the narrowly defined social standards of good motherhood, which positions White, heterosexual, cisgender, and middle-class mothers as normative [14,16,17]. In fact, maternal guilt is so pervasive in North American culture that it is considered an expected, almost inherent aspect of mothering norms by some scholars [14,18].

Access to and Use of Mobile Phone by Postpartum, Married Women in Punjab, India: Secondary Analysis of mHealth Intervention Pilot Data

Significant logistical barriers prevent mothers from physically attending postnatal care appointments at facilities or other locations that may be far from their homes, particularly in India [8]. Common logistical challenges, such as difficulty obtaining transportation and with scheduling, are exacerbated in India by rural geographic distances, cultural and linguistic barriers to care, women’s practice of postnatal seclusion, and generally low levels of mobility for married women [9-11].

Both are fully digital, with pregnant women or new mothers enrolled by health professionals and subsequently contacted by SMS text message or email containing survey links. Previous evaluations of maternity survey data–collection models focused on comparing alternative models based around cross-sectional postal surveys [17].

Using Interactive Text Messaging to Improve Diet Quality and Increase Redemption of Foods Approved by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children: Protocol for a Cohort Feasibility Study

Using Interactive Text Messaging to Improve Diet Quality and Increase Redemption of Foods Approved by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children: Protocol for a Cohort Feasibility Study

Mothers shape the food environment by choosing which foods to buy and demonstrating what foods to eat through their own observed eating behaviors [6]. However, for many mothers, especially those living in low-income households, diet quality is suboptimal [3]. As such, many children consume sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts, and sweets from as early as the age of 4 months [7-11].

Use of Social Media for Cancer Prevention Through Neighborhood Social Cohesion: Protocol for a Feasibility Study

Finally, this study will focus on co-designing and implementing the intervention with mothers, given their ability to influence the health behaviors of their households. According to Yuma-Guerrero and colleagues [23], social cohesion may improve mothers’ engagement in physical activity, and thus directly impact individuals in that family because mothers make decisions that affect family health and model behavior for their children.
