To construct a substantive theory of postpartum fatigue.
Grounded theory.
Participants were recruited in the hospital after delivery and interviewed in their homes.
Thirteen primiparae (n=5) and multiparae (n=8) women between 2 and 5 weeks postpartum from diverse ethnic, age, obstetric, and financial contexts were theoretically sampled.
Persevering was the central human process around which the grounded theory emerged. The process of persevering was explained through the relationships of influencing factors, postpartum fatigue, coping techniques, self-transcendence, and caregiving. Participants persevered in caregiving of infants and older children in spite of an overwhelming desire to rest and sleep using self-identified coping techniques in combination with the belief that their children brought purpose and meaning to their lives.
The theory "Persevering Through Postpartum Fatigue" contributes a more complete understanding of the complex phenomenon of postpartum fatigue as it is expressed in the everyday lives of women during the postpartum period. The results may be used to develop and implement health-promoting nursing interventions to reduce postpartum fatigue and its health-related consequences.
构建产后疲劳的实质性理论。
扎根理论。
参与者在产后于医院招募，并在其家中进行访谈。
从不同种族、年龄、产科及经济背景中理论抽样选取了13名产后2至5周的初产妇（n = 5）和经产妇（n = 8）。
坚持是该扎根理论所围绕的核心人类过程。坚持的过程通过影响因素、产后疲劳、应对技巧、自我超越和照料之间的关系得以阐释。尽管极度渴望休息和睡眠，但参与者运用自我认同的应对技巧，并坚信孩子为其生活带来目标和意义，从而坚持照料婴儿及年长儿童。
“产后疲劳中坚持”这一理论有助于更全面地理解产后疲劳这一复杂现象，该现象在产后女性的日常生活中有所体现。研究结果可用于制定和实施促进健康的护理干预措施，以减轻产后疲劳及其与健康相关的后果。
