Description

This is the result of a cross-sectional study using an Internet survey to understand the situation of twin pregnant women driving a car. This allows us to understand what twin pregnant women find difficult while driving. Questions included: (1) age, history of pregnancy and delivery, driver's license (2) number of weeks of pregnancy when they last drove a car, (3) frequency of seat belt use before pregnancy, (4) seat belt use (before and during pregnancy), degree of mood while wearing a seat belt (feeling of pressure, fatigue, discomfort, anxiety), discomfort and feeling of pressure while wearing a seat belt presence and location, frequency of minor trouble symptoms, and whether or not information on seat belt use was provided. Statistical analysis,basic statistics of the obtained data were calculated, and χ-square tests were performed for categorical variables. Multiple comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni method.

Design A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using an online survey that sent a survey request to the Japan Cloud Panel, a membership site for survey monitors owned by GMO Research Inc. Women who agreed to participate in the study were asked to complete the survey. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our institution. Participants Women who had twin pregnancies in the past or were currently pregnant with twins were included in the study. Women who had not driven a car before pregnancy or did not have a car driver's licence were excluded. Survey Content The following items were surveyed. (1) Participant characteristics: Age, history of pregnancy and delivery, and possession of a driver's licence. (2) Number of weeks of pregnancy since last driving a car, frequency of seatbelt use before pregnancy, seatbelt use (before and during pregnancy), degree of feeling while wearing a seatbelt (pressure, fatigue, discomfort, anxiety), presence and location of discomfort and pressure while wearing a seatbelt, frequency of common pregnancy complaints, and whether information on seatbelt use is provided. Overall, seven patterns of seatbelt use were illustrated (Figure 1), and the respondents were asked to answer the corresponding number. a. Wearing a seatbelt that avoids the distended abdomen b. The waistlap belt crosses the most distended part of the abdomen c. The waist lap belt crosses the upper abdomen d. Shoulder belt across the upper abdomen e. Shoulder belt not worn f. Waist Lap belt across thighs g. Shoulder belt across the armpit (3) Those who continued driving during pregnancy were asked the following additional questions: frequency of driving (before and during pregnancy), frequency of wearing seatbelts during pregnancy, reasons for not wearing seatbelts for those who did not wear them, whether any innovations were made while wearing seatbelts, and whether they experienced a near miss. Statistical analysis Basic statistics of the obtained data were calculated, and χ-square tests were performed for categorical variables. Multiple comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni method.
