Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention Targeting Mothers to Increase Tummy Time Practice and Maintain Healthy Weight in Infants
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Childhood obesity is a serious health problem worldwide evidenced by its high prevalence, specifically for the age group called the first 1000 days of life. This condition has serious consequences on the health of infants who suffer from it, being a precursor for the development of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. For this reason, international organizations have proposed physical activity as a priority component for the prevention of childhood obesity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effect of an intervention based on social cognitive theory aimed at Mexican mothers with children under six months of age to increase the practice of Tummy Time and maintain the healthy weight of the infant compared to usual care. The methodology will be a pilot randomized clinical trial with randomization to the Experimental Group and Control Group, the intervention will be with a single-blind approach and repeated measurements. A non-probabilistic sampling will be used for convenience and the sample will be 144 participants who will be dyads of mothers and children who are in the immediate postpartum hospitalized in a second-level hospital in Mexico.
