Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Several studies had investigated the importance and benefit of pelvic floor exercises (PFEs) to the pregnant women and their unborn babies, however, the concerns of antenatal women on the exercise have been sparsely investigated. This study examined the attitude and concerns of pregnant women towards engaging in PFEs in Ibadan, Nigeria.
UNASSIGNED: This was cross-sectional study of pregnant women aged ≥15 years. Participants were recruited at primary, secondary and tertiary health facilities. A face-to-face interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire with open and close-ended questions for data collection. Bivariate analysis was performed using chi-square and Fisher\'s exact test to investigate the association between categorical variables. Multivariate analysis was performed with log-binomial and multinomial regressions to select significant variables that affect the attitude of pregnant women.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 373 pregnant women recruited, 118 had ever practiced PFEs. A little below average (43%) performed PFE for less than 3 days a week. Ability to have easy childbirth was the most common motivator for practicing PFE. Participants were most concerned about abdominal pain. No association between any of the factors and participants\' attitudes.
UNASSIGNED: Though there was a positive attitude of pregnant women towards the PFE but the practice was low. This might be due to inadequate availability of information. We recommend health promotional messages to encourage pregnant women to engage in PFE as part of antenatal messages for healthy living.

摘要：
■一些研究调查了盆底运动（PFE）对孕妇及其未出生婴儿的重要性和益处，然而,产前妇女对这项运动的关注已经得到了很少的调查。这项研究调查了孕妇对在伊巴丹从事PFE的态度和担忧，尼日利亚。
■这是一项针对年龄≥15岁孕妇的横断面研究。参与者是在小学招募的，二级和三级卫生设施。使用带有开放式和封闭式问题的结构化问卷进行了面对面的访谈，以进行数据收集。使用卡方和Fisher精确检验进行双变量分析以研究分类变量之间的关联。使用对数二项和多项回归进行多变量分析，以选择影响孕妇态度的重要变量。
■在招募的373名孕妇中，118人曾经练习过PFE。略低于平均水平（43％）的人每周进行PFE少于3天。容易分娩的能力是练习PFE的最常见动机。参与者最关心的是腹痛。任何因素和参与者的态度之间都没有关联。
■尽管孕妇对PFE持积极态度，但实践较低。这可能是由于信息的可用性不足。我们建议健康宣传信息，以鼓励孕妇从事PFE作为产前信息的一部分，以实现健康生活。
