| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The short- and long-tern effects of maternity yoga were examined in participants of a maternity yoga class. Salivary amylase activity (sAA) was used to measure the stress. Questionnaires were used to measure mental health condition (GHQ28) and childbirth self-efficacy (CSE). The effects of gestation age on GHQ28 and CSE were removed using the data of non-yoga class participants.
The data were provided by 170 yoga class participants and 286 non-yoga class participants who gave informed consent. Analysis of the data yielded statistically significant positive effects. As a short-term effect, yoga practice lowered the stress represented by sAA. As long-term effects, we found that a higher frequency of attending the yoga class improved the score of childbirth self-efficacy and a greater decrease of sAA by yoga practice improved her mental health score.
