Abstract

Background: While most women perceive pregnancy to be a happy time, there are physiological, anatomical, biochemical, and psychological changes that can occur during this period. Pilates exercise is making strength and endurance for labor and birth. In this sense, this study's purpose was to systematically review the literature on the implication of pilates exercise on blood tests in pregnant women. Methods: Three databases were searched in order to find pertinent publications published up until December 31, 2023. Independently, paired reviewers went through the articles and took data from every study that was included. A meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate how pilates affected the blood test. To investigate heterogeneity, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses were carried out. Results: Ultimately, the meta-analysis containing 32 pregnant women included 4 studies totaling 160 pregnant women. The results of the study demonstrated a significant difference in the levels of total triglycerides (CI95%: -1.627 - -0.104; I2: 16%), total cholesterol (CI95%: -2.210 - 0.027; I2: 17%), and low-density lipoprotein (CI95%: -2.887 - 0.004; I2: 16%) between the pilates exercise group and the control group. The results of the research indicated that the high-density lipoprotein (CI95%: 1.278 - 0.201; I2: 17%) and C-reactive protein (CI95%: -0.556 - 0.579; I2: 18%) levels in the pilates exercise group were considerably lower than those in the control group. Conclusion: We found that pilates exercises are perfect for placenta growth. It can also reduce anxiety and improve physical condition in pregnant women. Therefore, further research and evaluation in clinical trials are needed.

Abstract

The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a leading instrument for assessing symptom severity and functional status in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), yet evidence of its validity among dentists in Indonesia remains limited. This cross-sectional study involved 55 dentists with confirmed CTS (positive Phalen and Tinel tests) in Samarinda who self-administered the Indonesian version of the BCTQ (11-item Symptom Severity Scale and 8-item Functional Status Scale). Construct validity was tested using Pearson correlation and internal reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. Subjects comprised 44 females (80.0%) and 11 males (20.0%) with a mean age of 44.7 years. All 11 Symptom Severity Scale items had correlation coefficients of 0.486–0.789 (p<0.01) and the 8 Functional Status Scale items 0.492–0.827 (p<0.01), all exceeding the critical r table value (0.266). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.884 for the Symptom Severity Scale and 0.870 for the Functional Status Scale, both classified as excellent. Therefore, the Indonesian version of the BCTQ is valid and reliable for use among dentists with CTS and is recommended as a screening and treatment outcome evaluation tool in this high-risk population.
