“…To ensure the internal consistency of the scale, further reliability study among Arabic population including a larger sample size is required. Finally, research concerning participation in physical activity and exercise and its effects on fatigue, sleep quality, and resilience among expectant and new mothers should also be given focused attention, as exercise has been shown to be a cost-effective intervention with which to improve psychological well-being and prevent postpartum depressive symptoms [86,115,116].…”

Background Several factors can contribute to the development of postpartum depression (PPD) and negatively affect mothers’ mental and physical well-being. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between fatigue, sleep quality, resilience, and the risk of PPD development. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire distributed to mothers during their postpartum period. The risk of PPD was assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), postpartum fatigue (PPF) was assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and resilience was assessed using the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationship between the study variables. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to explain the contributions of PPF, sleep quality, and resilience as independent predictors of PPD development. Results A total of 1409 postpartum women were included in the analysis, with 75% of the participants reporting a risk of PPD, 61% reporting PPF, 97% reporting having sleep problems, and 36% being in the “low resilience level” category. In terms of correlations, the scores of FSS and the PSQI showed moderate positive relationships with the EPDS scores (r = 0.344 and r = 0.447, respectively, p = .000). The BRS scores were negatively associated with the EPDS scores (r = −0.530, p = 0.000). Fatigue, sleep quality, and resilience were predictors of depressive symptoms (β = 0.127, β = 0.262, and β = −0.393, respectively, R2 = 0.37, p = 0.000). The association remained significant in the regression model after adjusting for mother’s age, mother’s BMI, child’s age, smoking status, full-term pregnancy, having a chronic disease, and taking anti-depressant. Conclusions Mothers with higher levels of fatigue, poor sleep quality, and low resilience levels were at high risk of developing PPD. Healthcare providers should identify these factors and thus set better rehabilitation goals to improve overall maternal health.

“…Regarding the psychological variables, resilience, satisfaction, and coherence correlated weakly with healthy diet. Other studies are very unanimous: Greater resilience is associated with a healthier or more balanced diet (38,39). The notion that patients who are autonomously motivated to follow a healthy diet are more likely to feel more satisfied with their lives is supported by the authors Castillo-Mayen, et al (40) in patients with cardiovascular disease.…”

Background/Aim: People who are undergoing cancer treatment often ask themselves what they can do in addition to conventional medical therapy with regard to nutrition, activity, and complementary methods. However, we know little about the motivation why people opt for one or the other measure. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the extent of physical activity (PA), healthy nutrition, and the use of complementary methods in relation to both demographic and psychological data. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic data, resilience, coherence, self-efficacy, spirituality, satisfaction, and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) behavior, PA, and diet. Between March and July 2021, data from 446 patients were collected. Regression models and correlation analyzes were used to examine the associations between CAM use, diet and PA with the other variables surveyed. Results: CAM usage could only be predicted based on the patient's spirituality. Women used CAM more often and ate more healthily. Healthy eating was also related to younger age, shorter medical history, resilience, satisfaction, and coherence. In addition, the results showed that daily PA was related to the level of resilience, spirituality, and self-efficacy. Conclusion: Which people or why patients use CAM remains a question to be further investigated. Our data suggest that CAM seeks to address similar needs that others find in spirituality. In order to promote a healthy diet and PA in cancer patients in the future, various psychological variables seem conceivable. Resilience stands out, which is related to an overall healthier lifestyle.Many patients with cancer have a high interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) (1, 2), diets (3, 4), physical and other activities, which allow them to get active and to contribute to the therapy (5). Aims are heterogenous ranging from fighting cancer, improving prognosis to increasing quality of life, and reducing side effects (6-8).While evidence on physical activity (PA) is level 1A (9, 10), and healthy nutrition is also recommended to all patients 106

“…It may also be of value to consider studying the effects of lifestyle factors, such as diet, nutrition, physical activity, and family support, in the context of Saudi Arabia. In light of our intriguing findings on physical activity, further research on participation in physical activity, exercise, and the relationship with PPD risk among new mothers should also be conducted, as exercise has been previously shown to be a cost-effective treatment for improving mental health and well-being and mitigating PPD symptoms [22,23,26]. The impact of a difficult birth experience itself (birth trauma) and the potential emotional impact of the intention to breastfeed, breastfeeding success on perinatal mental health issues, and maternal wellness in general also need to be studied.…”

“…Several international studies have discussed lifestyle factors associated with better perinatal mental health outcomes that are considered major safeguards, such as maternal diet, physical activity, and behavioral strategies, e.g., smoking cessation, anxiety/stress reduction, and sleep quality improvement [5,12,[22][23][24][25][26][27]. Research has also addressed the impact and importance of maternal age, level of education, and social support in mitigating the risk of poor maternal mental health and wellbeing [8,11,12,16,28].…”

Women’s health issues are complex and require collaborative efforts to unravel some of these complexities. This study aims to identify the incidence risk of Postpartum Depression (PPD) in a national sample of women in Saudi Arabia and the relationship with several health status, lifestyle, and sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional study with an online questionnaire format assessed the risk of postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and included several questions on postpartum health status and lifestyle factors. Of the 550 women who responded to the survey 75% scored within range of risk for PPD (≥12). We found significant associations between family income, younger baby age, birth difficulty, having family support, level of physical activity, and the risk for PPD (p < 0.05). Urgent attention and resources should be directed towards screening and treatment for PPD in the healthcare system. The development of programs for awareness, education, and support of postpartum mothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also required.
