| description | Abstract Facilitators and barriers influencing weight management behaviours were identified in our meta-synthesis of qualitative research entitled “Facilitators and barriers influencing weight management behaviours during pregnancy: a meta-synthesis of qualitative research”. This manuscript is in response to the letter submitted by Sparks et al. regarding that work. The authors highlight the importance of including partners into intervention design when addressing weight management behaviours. We agree with the authors that it is important to include partners into intervention design and further research is granted to identify facilitators and barriers affecting their influence over women. As per our findings, the influence of the social context goes beyond the partner and we suggest that future interventions should address other relevant people in women’s contexts such as parents, other relatives, and close friends. |
