The focus of this article is to draw the attention of nurses to the important role fatigue plays in the lives of postpartum women, and to the related roles nurses can play in practice, research, and healthcare policy formulation. Fatigue in the postpartum period has the capacity to adversely affect not only the woman's quality of life, but also that of her family. For two decades women have been ranking fatigue as a major concern during the postpartum period; we know that postpartum fatigue is a real problem and continues to be so for as long as 19 months after delivery. The antecedents of postpartum fatigue and measures to reduce it have barely been discussed in the literature, nor have they been empirically investigated. This article provides an overview of the concept of postpartum fatigue including its definition, significance, incidence, etiology, nature, and management. In addition, recommendations are made for nurses involved in practice, research, and healthcare policy.
本文的重点是提请护士注意疲劳在产后女性生活中所起的重要作用，以及护士在实践、研究和医疗保健政策制定中可以发挥的相关作用。产后疲劳不仅会对女性的生活质量产生不利影响，还会影响其家庭的生活质量。二十年来，女性一直将疲劳列为产后的主要担忧；我们知道产后疲劳是一个现实问题，并且在分娩后长达19个月的时间里一直存在。产后疲劳的成因及缓解措施在文献中几乎未被讨论，也未得到实证研究。本文概述了产后疲劳的概念，包括其定义、意义、发生率、病因、性质和管理。此外，还为参与实践、研究和医疗保健政策的护士提出了建议。
