“…Satisfaction with sleep was the strongest factor associated with maternal fatigue during the first 6 months postpartum. This finding accords with that from Australia, where the strongest predictor of maternal fatigue across the postpartum period from three to 7 months postpartum was poor sleep quality (Giallo, Seymour et al., ). Sleep plays an important role in good health throughout one's life, regardless of age, sex and significant life events such as childbirth.…”

“…Financial burden was the fourth most common factor associated with maternal fatigue during the first 6 months postpartum. This was similarly reported to be associated with maternal fatigue in a previous study (Giallo, Seymour et al., ). Financial burden or lower socio‐economic status has a potential impact on mothers’ childcare ability in that they may be forced to manage childcare with limited resources.…”

“…Previous studies have identified several factors associated with maternal fatigue. Poor sleep quality was associated with severer fatigue at 1 month (Cheng et al., ) and three to 7 months postpartum (Giallo, Seymour et al., ). Perceived social support at 1 month postpartum (Cheng et al., ) and the amount of infant crying during the first 3 months (Kurth et al., ) were also associated with maternal fatigue.…”

“…Perceived social support at 1 month postpartum (Cheng et al, 2015) and the amount of infant crying during the first 3 months (Kurth et al, 2011) were also associated with maternal fatigue. Some demographic/clinical characteristics associated with higher levels of maternal fatigue are: lower socioeconomic status (Giallo, Seymour et al, 2015), caesarean delivery (Lai, Hung, Stocker, Chan, & Liu, 2015) and primiparity (Hattori & Nakajima, 2000).…”

AimsTo identify the course of maternal fatigue during the first 6 months postpartum and to determine factors associated with it.DesignA prospective cohort study.MethodsWomen (N = 2,697) in 13 Japanese hospitals provided longitudinal data using self‐report questionnaires at five time points. Maternal fatigue was assessed using the Postnatal Accumulated Fatigue Scale. We focused on the effect of maternal age and parity on the course of maternal fatigue and used a mixed between/within‐subjects analysis of variance. Factors associated with maternal fatigue were analysed using stepwise multiple regression.ResultsIn the 6‐month postpartum period, the level of fatigue was highest at 1 month and significantly decreased from 1–4 months postpartum. Primiparas showed a significantly higher level of fatigue than multiparas during hospital stay and their levels of fatigue more closely approximated the 1‐month peak. Multiparas showed significantly higher levels of fatigue than younger primiparas at 6‐month postpartum. Factors associated with maternal fatigue included satisfaction with sleep, concerns about child‐rearing, satisfaction with social support, financial burden and meal times per day.

“…Yorgunluk semptomu kişide gerginlik, endişe, korku, duygusallık, huzursuzluk, uykusuzluk, kendini değersiz hissetme ve depresyon gibi birçok psikolojik sorunların gelişmesine neden olabilmektedir. Ayrıca yorgunluk ev işleri, bebek bakımı ve ailenin isteklerini yerine getirmede yetersizliğe, sosyal ve seksüel aktivitelerde azalmaya veya yaşamdan zevk almamaya neden olabildiği gibi kişinin düşünme, karar verme ve sorun çözme gibi yeteneklerini de olumsuz etkilemektedir (12)(13)(14) .…”

ÖZAmaç: Araştırmanın amacı, kadınların doğum sonrası ikinci ayında görülen yorgunluk düzeyi, özbakım gücü, yorgunluk ile özbakım gücü arasındaki ilişki ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Araştırma analitik-kesitsel olarak gelişigüzel örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 313 doğum sonrası kadın ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri kadınların tanıtıcı ve bağımsız değiş-kenlerinin sorgulandığı soru formudur. Yorgunluk İçin Görsel Benzerlik Skalası, Özbakım Gücü Ölçeği, Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 25,36±3,67 (aralık: 18-35) idi. Kadınların %57,6'sının ilk ve orta eğitiminde ve %77,3'ünün ev hanımı olduğu ve % 31,0'ının sağlık güvencesinin bulunmadığı bulunmuştur. Kadınların yorgunluk puanı ile özbakım gücü (r= -0,183; p<0,001), sosyal destek (r= -0,131; p<0,05) ve enerji (r= -0,318; p<0,001) puanları arasında negatif, yorgunluk puanı ile doğum sonrası depresyon (r= 0,173; p<0,001) puanları arasında pozitif korelasyonun bulunduğu saptandı. Yorgunluk ve enerji semptom puanları ile ilişkili değişkenleri belirlemek için yapılan analiz yorgunluk ile eşin ortaokul eğitiminde olması ve enerji ile algılanan gelir düzeyi arasında pozitif ilişkinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Kadınların özbakım gücü ile sosyal güvencenin olmaması, yaşayan çocuk sayısı, yorgunluk, ev işlerinde ve bebek bakımında destek olan birinin bulunmaması arasında negatif ve algılanan sosyal destek, üniversite eğitimine sahip olma, eş yaşı ve anemi varlığı arasında pozitif ilişkinin olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu araştırma, doğum sonrası yorgunluğun annenin özbakım gücünü olumsuz etkilediği sonucunu ortaya koymuştur. Doğum sonrası bakım hizmetlerinin planlanması ve sunumunda, postpartum yorgunluğun değerlendirilmesi ve kadının yorgunluk semptomu ile baş etme yöntem-lerinin geliştirmesi ile anne ve bebek sağlığının korunması ve gelişimine katkı sağlayabilir.Anahtar kelimeler: Doğum sonrası dönem, yorgunluk, anne sağlığı, bakım, hemşirelik, ebelik ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study is to determine postpartum fatigue, self-care power, the relationship between self-care power of women and postpartum fatigue in the postpartum second month and related factors. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study and included 313 women in their postpartum second months determined with randomized sampling method. Research data were collected with a questionnaire including questions about tested demographic and independent variables of women, Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue, Self-Care Power Scale, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. Data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, correlation and multivariate regression analysis. Results: Mean age of the women included in the study was 25.36±3.67 years (range: 18-35). Of all women, 57.6% were primary or secondary school gradu...

A systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted to explore how parents perceive sleep quality in their infants aged 0-24 months and the factors that influence these perceptions. A systematic search of the databases Scopus, Embase, Cinahl, PsycInfo and MEDLINE, was undertaken to identify eligible peer-reviewed studies published between 2006-2021. Ten papers met inclusion criteria and were subsequently included in the review. Evaluation of papers with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist classified papers as weak, moderate or strong, with half considered strong. Thematic synthesis identified one superordinate theme, culture, and five interrelated subordinate themes regarding how parents perceive their infant's sleep and the factors that may influence these perceptions. These themes were: (1) Infants physical and emotional comfort; (2) Beliefs regarding safety; (3) Parental and familial wellbeing; (4) Perceived degree of infant agency; (5) Influence of external beliefs and opinions. The findings from this review may assist practitioners in providing parents with personalized and culturally sensitive information regarding infant sleep and may also inform antenatal and early
