摘要
The study reported here explored changes in optimism, power, and well-being over time in women who participated in a six-week prenatal yoga program during their second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The study was conceptualized from the perspective of Rogers' science of unitary human beings. A correlational, one-group, pre-post-assessment survey design with a convenience sample was conducted. Increases in mean scores for optimism, power, and well-being were statistically significant from baseline to completion of the prenatal yoga program. Findings from this study suggested that yoga as a self-care practice that nurses might recommend to promote well-being in pregnant women.
