Study On The Fatigue Status Of Puerperal Women And Self-Relief Strategies

Objective1.To Investigate postpartum fatigue of puerperal women.2.To analyze the influencing factors of postpartum fatigue in puerperal women.3.To find ways to alleviate fatigue and the effectiveness of mitigation methods by puerperal women themselves.Methods1.This study was carried out in a Women and Children's Health Care Center in Wuhan Hubei Province from October 2018 to February 2019.Using convenient sampling,A total of 220 puerperal women who had been examined and reviewed routinely were selected as the research objects.2.The general data of puerperal women was collected through the self-compiled “maternal general situation questionnaire”,“The Postpartum Fatigue Scale”,“Chinese Perceived Stress Scale”,“Perceived Social Support Scale”,“the Fatigue Relief Scale--Chinese Version”were used to measure the postpartum fatigue status,stress level,social support level and self-relief strategies of fatigue.3.The independent sample t test,one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis were used to describe the status and related factors of postpartum fatigue.Results1.The incidence of postpartum fatigue in puerperal women was 88.6%,of which 29.1% was mild fatigue,34.1% was moderate fatigue and 25.5% was severe fatigue.2.The age of puerperal women,number of children,delivery mode,parity,feeding patterns,most commonly used breastfeeding posture,low birth weight,illness or hospitalization after birth,maternal low back pain / pelvic pain,sleep quality,baby crying time,Infant care workload showed statistically significant differences in postpartum fatigue scores during puerperal period,Puerperal pressure perception and social support were correlated with postpartum fatigue.3.The main influencing factors of postpartum fatigue in puerperal women were: pressure perception,feeding pattern,sleep quality,low birth weight and infant care workload,which jointly accounted for 43.9% of the total variation of the dependent variable.4.Research shows that sleep,lie down and take a nap are effective ways to relieve fatigue in puerperal women,But goes out to walk,participates in social activity,physical exercise alleviate the effect to be inferior.Conclusions1.Postpartum fatigue is common in puerperal women.2.The age of puerperal women,number of children,delivery mode,parity,most commonly used breastfeeding posture,low birth weight,illness and hospitalization after birth,maternal low back pain / pelvic pain,sleep quality,baby crying time,infant care workload,pressure perception,social support and Postpartum fatigue were correlated.3.Pressure perception,feeding pattern,sleep quality,low birth weight,infant care workload are the main influencing factors of postpartum fatigue.4.The most common and most effective self fatigue relieve methods among puerperal women are sleep,lie down and take a nap while the least common ones to use and mitigate the worst is to go for a walk,socialize and exercise.
