Objective:
The study was conducted to examine the relationship between fatigue, self-esteem, functional status, and dyadic adjustment in the postpartum period and the factors affecting them.
Methods:
The study was designed in cross-sectional type. It was carried out in the postpartum follow-up clinic of a hospital in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey between November 2021 and July 2022. Responses from a total of 328 mothers in the first 6 months postpartum were analyzed. Data were collected using a "Descriptive Information Form," the "Chalder Fatigue Scale," the "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale," the "Inventory of Functional Status after Childbirth," and the "Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale."
Results:
The mean scores of the mothers participating in the study on the total Chalder fatigue scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, Inventory of functional status after childbirth, and Revised dyadic adjustment scale were 13.65 ± 6.13, 1.33 ± 1.33, 10.57 ± 2.02, and 51.51 ± 9.49, respectively. It was determined that fatigue had a positive effect and dyadic adjustment had a negative effect on the postpartum self-esteem levels of the mothers. The progress of the postpartum period affects the functional status of mothers positively and significantly.
Conclusions:
According to the results of the research, the decrease in fatigue and the increase in dyadic adjustment in women positively affect the increase in self-esteem.
