Background: Obesity is a growing public health hazard worldwide. Among pregnant women, increased body mass index was associated with pregnancy related complications, including gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, caesarean birth and relatively high risk of maternal morbidity and mortality.
Aims & Objective: The principal aim of the study is to whether maternal overweight and obesity care package can influence metabolic markers, clinical parameters, anxiety, health related quality of life and pregnancy outcomes among antenatal women.
Materials and Methods: Randomised control trial with purposive sampling technique will be used in the present study. A planned enrolment of 220 participants, 110 per group, is randomly assigned to control and experimental arms. The intervention arm undergoing a planned breathing based aerobic exercise programs consisted of structured home-based diaphragmatic breathing and walking exercise, health education and provision of information booklet. Primary outcome measures include check is there any significance deference in the average value of the outcome variables (metabolic biomarkers, clinical parameters, anxiety and health related Quality of Life) across different time points as well as between experimental and control group.
Results: The nurse-executed MOOC package will significantly improve the health of antenatal women. Participants will show better control of metabolic markers and clinical parameters. Anxiety levels will decrease notably, while health-related quality of life will improve across physical, emotional, and social domains. Pregnancy outcomes will be more favorable in the intervention group, with reduced complications such as gestational diabetes and preterm births, along with improved neonatal health indicators.
Conclusion: The Nurse-Executed MOOC Package emerges as a promising and impactful intervention to enhance maternal and neonatal health. By equipping antenatal women with essential knowledge and support, it enhances their control over metabolic and clinical parameters, reduces anxiety, and boosts their overall health quality.
