• W2601565611 abstract "Substantial benefits can be gained by participating in regular physical exercise, however onlya minority of women meet current pregnancy exercise recommendations and there is limitedunderstanding of women’s decision-making regarding exercise in pregnancy. The purpose ofthis constructivist grounded theory study was to develop a theoretical insight into the factorsthat influence women’s decisions regarding exercise in pregnancy and how they process theinfluences and multiple alternatives they encounter.The constructivist approach drew on the subjective researcher/participant interrelationship toco-construct meaning from the data and ultimately render the women’s experiences intotheoretical interpretations. The theory presented was built inductively from the experiences of10 pregnant women who exercised regularly, supplemented by insights from theoreticalsampling of fitness experts, internet forums and extant literature. Longitudinal, audio-recordedsemi-structured interviews occurred twice during each pregnancy and 6-8 weeks postnatal.Data generation and data analysis ran concurrently and iteratively using the constantcomparative method of analysis. Theoretical constructs generated by the data wereprogressively amplified and clarified through a series of inductive-deductive cycles andtheoretical sampling that drove the evolving interview schedules. Theorising ideas in the formof detailed memos was a fundamental part of the analysis and enabled a detailed audit trail tobe established.The resultant substantive theory of ‘Accommodating the pregnant self’ conceptualisespregnancy as a transitional period during which women’s self-identity is modified. ‘Theexercising self’ was a salient and valued facet of the women’s self-identity and continuing toexercise enabled women to maintain a degree of continuity and control that was integral totheir sense of maintaining and to a degree regaining their past valued self. Decisions regardingexercise were influenced by a complex interplay of contextual factors that simultaneouslyencouraged exercise and rest. This consequently triggered a degree of identity conflict betweentwo domains of their self-identity, ‘the exercising self’ and ‘the pregnant self’. The womenreacted to the challenges to their identity through the process of self-identity regulation.Through this process they gradually re-constructed their self-identity to accommodate theirpregnant self while contemplating possible future selves against various self and socialnormative standards.Negotiating conflicting identities was an integral component of the decision-making process,and ultimately resulted in many of the women modifying their activities to accommodate thepressures they faced to conform to social ideologies of ‘the pregnant self’. The theory exploresa range of strategies that the women used to deal with identity conflict, particularly drawingon selective perception and self-justification to resolve cognitive dissonance. It also highlightsa duality in the factors that influenced their decisions which suggests women’s identitycharacteristics resulted in a propensity for behaviour to be steered by either internal (personal)or external (relational and environmental) influences.The substantive theory underscores the significance of self-identity in steering the decisionmakingprocess. The findings provide insight into how women might be better supported tomake informed and assured decisions regarding lifestyle choices. The theoretical potential toinform interventions to enhance activity levels in a wider population is highlighted." @default.
