20.500.12556/RUL-185616 Telesna dejavnost in duševno zdravje v poporodnem obdobju Physical activity and mental health in the postpartum period Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali redna telesna dejavnost pomaga pri zmanjševanju duševnih stisk, predvsem anksioznosti in depresije. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali obstaja povezava med količino telesne dejavnosti in intenzivnostjo duševnih stisk. Podatke smo zbrali s spletnim vprašalnikom, ki je poleg demografskih podatkov in ugotavljanja stopnje telesne dejavnosti žensk po porodu vključeval tudi standardizirane merske instrumente za oceno anksioznosti (BAI) in depresije (BDI-II). V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 106 žensk v poporodnem obdobju. Rezultati so pokazali, da se simptomi depresivnosti pogosteje pojavljajo pri tistih posameznicah, ki so manj telesno dejavne. Povezava z anksioznostjo ni bila statistično značilna, vendar so bolj dejavne ženske v nekoliko večjem obsegu poročale o boljšem splošnem počutju, večji samozavesti in večji čustveni stabilnosti. Ob hujših duševnih stiskah si strokovno pomoč poišče zelo majhen delež žensk; pogosti razlogi so utrujenost, občutek preobremenjenosti in še vedno prisotna stigma, povezana z duševnim zdravjem. Ugotovili smo, da je telesna dejavnost lahko zelo uporaben in učinkovit način lajšanja duševnih stisk po porodu. Ženskam po porodu bi bilo treba ponuditi več informacij in podpore, in sicer ne le glede telesnega zdravja, temveč tudi duševnega. The aim of the research was to examine whether regular physical activity helps reduce psychological distress, especially anxiety and depression, and whether there is a correlation between the frequency of exercise and the intensity of mental health problems. Data were collected through an online questionnaire. In addition to demographic information and questions about postpartum physical activity, the questionnaire also included standardized instruments for assessing anxiety (BAI) and depression (BDI-II). A total of 106 women in the postpartum period participated in the study. The results showed that depressive symptoms were more common in women who were less physically active. Although the association between physical activity and anxiety was not statistically confirmed, more active women reported better overall well-being, higher self-confidence, and greater emotional stability. One of the more concerning findings was that only a small number of women sought professional help when facing more serious psychological challenges. The most common reasons for this were fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, and the lingering stigma surrounding mental health issues. Based on these findings, physical activity appears to be a valuable and effective way of coping with emotional difficulties after childbirth. It would be highly important to offer women during the postpartum period more support and clearer information, not only about physical recovery, but also about mental well-being. šport telesna aktivnost poporodno obdobje duševne stiske telesna vadba poporodna depresija stigmatizacija sport physical activity postpartum period mental health challenges physical activity postpartum depression stigmatization true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-08-13 10:18:21 2026-08-13 10:18:29 2026-08-14 04:03:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 41-48 št. 3/4 Letn. 73 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.01:616.895.4 3024-0603 10.52165/sport.73.3-4.41-48 265071875 SPORT+3-4-25_041-048_Antoncic.pdf SPORT+3-4-25_041-048_Antoncic.pdf 1 D677EFA0A35436444F536B527F6E37AF 59cf0166c8bc2c1bbe62250e2c8603d600e98aa229e4c5f56f3c3a47edba1a81 89a97565-96f3-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=244333 https://journals.uni-lj.si/sport/article/view/23688 1 47d69a2f-96ef-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=244330 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
