The aim of this study was to identify the changes of perceived health status, physical symptoms, and sleep satisfaction of postpartum women over time. A longitudinal design was used. Participants were 137 healthy postpartum women who had not been diagnosed with any medical diseases. Data were collected by a self-report questionnaire at three periods, the second day, 4-6 weeks, and 12-14 weeks postpartum. Women's perceived health status was lower at 4-6 weeks than on the second day after childbirth, physical symptoms were more frequent at 4-6 weeks than on the second day after childbirth, and sleep satisfaction was lower at 4-6 weeks than at 12-14 weeks postpartum. Tiredness or fatigue was the most frequent symptom experienced by postpartum women at all three periods. These results indicate that the period from 4 to 6 weeks postpartum is the most difficult time for mothers. Therefore, there is a need to develop nursing interventions to alleviate fatigue and other symptoms, and to help and support women during the period 4-6 weeks postpartum, a critical period for interventions.
本研究的目的是确定产后女性的感知健康状况、身体症状和睡眠满意度随时间的变化。采用纵向设计。参与者为137名未被诊断出患有任何疾病的健康产后女性。在产后第二天、4 - 6周和12 - 14周这三个时间段通过自我报告问卷收集数据。女性的感知健康状况在产后4 - 6周时低于分娩后第二天，身体症状在产后4 - 6周时比分娩后第二天更频繁，睡眠满意度在产后4 - 6周时低于产后12 - 14周。疲劳是产后女性在所有三个时间段最常出现的症状。这些结果表明，产后4至6周对母亲来说是最困难的时期。因此，有必要制定护理干预措施来缓解疲劳和其他症状，并在产后4 - 6周这一关键干预时期帮助和支持女性。
