Associations between staff practices and staff characteristics (BMI, weight satisfaction)

  BMI Weight satisfaction
My advice influences how much weight my patients gain during pregnancy
β = −0.5, p=0.013
r =0.2, p= 0.5
I have enough time to counsel my patients properly about the risks of overweight/obesity during pregnancy
β = −0.3, p=0.071
r =0.02, p=0.9
I have sufficient knowledge to counsel my overweight/obese patients to improve their pregnancy outcomes
β = −0.2, p = 0.3
r =0.002, p=1.0
I would like more training about to help me counsel my overweight/obese patients to improve their pregnancy outcomes
β =0.02, p=0.9
r =−0.2. p=0.3
Nutrition and dietetic referrals are available for my overweight/obese patients
β =0.007, p=1.0
r =0.1, p=0.5
Once an overweight/obese woman is already pregnant, there is not much that she can do to change the risks of poor outcomes
β =0.04, p=0.8
r =0.1, p=0.5
My overweight/obese patients:
 
 
• are motivated to make changes to their health
β =−0.009, p =1.0
r =−0.1, p = 0.5
• have the resources they need to make the changes that I recommend
β =−0.1, p=0.6
r =0.54, p = 0.003
• find my advice helpful regarding weight management during pregnancy β =0.009, p= 1.0 r =−0.1, p = 0.7
