Description
Cai-Li Jia, Li-Jun Wang, Li-Hong Li, Ya-Juan Lu, and Yue Yang interviewed pregnant women with gestational diabetes about exercise in work published in 2025. This form of diabetes is a common problem in pregnancy and raises risk for mother and baby when uncontrolled. Exercise helps, yet many women do not keep it up.
Sixteen women at a Beijing hospital clinic took part in face-to-face interviews. Their accounts were sorted with a model that splits behavior into capability, opportunity, and motivation. Three themes and nine sub-themes emerged. Capability issues included no past exercise habit and body discomfort with few ways to cope. The findings aim to guide tailored support that helps more women reach advised activity levels.
