Women's experiences during late pregnancy and the early postpartum period were examined relative to time of discharge from the hospital. Women who were discharged in 3 days or sooner were compared to women who were discharged after 3 days or sooner were compared to women who were discharged after 3 days, with respect to fatigue. A rest and activity questionnaire was completed by the women in the third trimester of pregnancy, in postpartum Week 1, and in postpartum Week 4. Few differences were found with respect to hours slept, number of sleep interruptions, perceptions of tiredness, and impact of tiredness on daily life; tiredness was a major aspect of women's experience, regardless of how long they stayed in hospital. The information will help nurses preparing women for their late pregnancy and postpartum experiences and will ease the concern of those who believe women will be more tired if they leave hospital soon after birth.
研究人员针对出院时间，对女性在妊娠晚期和产后早期的经历进行了调查。将在3天或更短时间内出院的女性与在3天后出院的女性在疲劳方面进行了比较。这些女性在妊娠晚期、产后第1周和产后第4周完成了一份休息与活动调查问卷。在睡眠时间、睡眠中断次数、疲劳感以及疲劳对日常生活的影响等方面，未发现明显差异；无论住院时间长短，疲劳都是女性经历中的一个主要方面。这些信息将有助于护士帮助女性为妊娠晚期和产后经历做好准备，并减轻那些认为女性产后很快出院会更疲劳的人的担忧。
