This study was conducted to examine the relationship between exercise health beliefs, happiness and quality of life among pregnant women, and to evaluate how sociodemographic characteristics are associated with these variables.

The study was conducted using a cross-sectional descriptive study design. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a convenience sampling approach. ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Exercise Health Belief Model Scale’, ‘Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form’ and ‘Short Form (SF-12) Quality of Life Scale’ were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics (mean, SD, percentage), Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression were applied.

The study was conducted at Family Health Centres located in a provincial centre in Eastern Turkey.

A total of 1090 pregnant women who visited the Family Health Centres participated in the study.

The mean score for the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale was 113.98±20.49, the mean score for the Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form was 18.45±4.05 and the mean score for the SF-12 Quality of Life Scale was 85.34±10.29. A positive and moderately significant correlation was found between exercise health beliefs, happiness and quality of life (r=0.31–0.38, p

Higher levels of exercise health beliefs were associated with increased happiness and quality of life in pregnant women. These findings suggest that nursing interventions aimed at strengthening exercise beliefs may contribute to maternal well-being during pregnancy.

Global migration has steadily risen, with 16% of the UK population born abroad. Migrants (defined here as foreign-born individuals) face unique health risks, including potential higher rates and delays in diagnosis of infectious and non-communicable diseases, compounded by significant barriers to healthcare. UK Public Health guidelines recommend screening at-risk migrants, but primary care often faces significant challenges in achieving this, exacerbating health disparities. The Health Catch-UP! tool was developed as a novel digital, multidisease screening and catch-up vaccination solution to support primary care to identify at-risk adult migrants and offer individualised care. The tool has been shown to be acceptable and feasible and to increase migrant health screening in previous studies, but to facilitate use in routine care requires the development of an implementation package. This protocol describes the development and optimisation of an implementation package for Health Catch-UP! following the person-based approach (PBA), a participatory intervention development methodology, and evaluates our use of this methodological approach for migrant participants.

Through engagement with both migrants and primary healthcare professionals (approximately 80–100 participants) via participatory workshops, focus groups and think-aloud interviews, the study aims to cocreate a comprehensive Health Catch-UP! implementation package. This package will encompass healthcare professional support materials, patient resources and potential Health Catch-UP! care pathways (delivery models), developed through iterative refinement based on user feedback and behavioural theory. The study will involve three linked phases (1) planning: formation of an academic–community coalition and cocreation of guiding principles, logic model and intervention planning table, (2) intervention development: focus groups and participatory workshops to coproduce prototype implementation materials and (3) intervention optimisation: think-aloud interviews to iteratively refine the final implementation package. An embedded mixed-methods evaluation of how we used the PBA will allow shared learning from the use of this methodology within the migrant health context.
