Fatigue during labor concerns women and nurses alike, yet few studies have directly measured fatigue during childbirth. Many issues and difficulties with the conceptualization and measurement of fatigue have been raised because of the multidimensionality of the concept. Fatigue was conceptualized as including subjective, cognitive, and physical dimensions, and was therefore operationalized using multiple methods. In the two studies described, fatigue was measured using the Modified Fatigue Symptom Checklist (MFSC), the Pearson-Byars Feeling Checklist (PBFC), Visual Analogue Scales (VAS), the Digit Span Subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Test (revised R), and a hand held bulb dynamometer. These studies support the reliability and validity of the measures used to quantify fatigue during labor. These findings support the operationalization of fatigue as a multidimensional concept.
分娩期间的疲劳困扰着产妇和护士，但很少有研究直接测量分娩过程中的疲劳程度。由于疲劳这一概念具有多维度性，在其概念化和测量方面出现了许多问题和困难。疲劳被概念化为包括主观、认知和身体维度，因此采用多种方法进行操作化定义。在所描述的两项研究中，使用改良疲劳症状清单（MFSC）、皮尔逊 - 拜尔斯情感清单（PBFC）、视觉模拟量表（VAS）、韦氏智力测验数字广度分测验（修订版R）以及手持式握力计来测量疲劳。这些研究支持了用于量化分娩期间疲劳的测量方法的可靠性和有效性。这些发现支持将疲劳作为一个多维度概念进行操作化定义。
