摘要

Fatigue in the postnatal period is such a common expe-rience for most mothers that the term "postpartum fatigue" (PPF) has been coined to describe it. When new mothers experience extreme fatigue, it follows that their physical health, mental health, and social wellbeing are negatively affected. It is interesting to note that there is a distinct lack of empirical investigations focusing on the link between PPF and increased risk of injury, par-ticularly when the links between fatigue and increased risk of road crashes are well documented. The purpose of this investigation was to undertake pilot research to develop an understanding of the duration of PPF and the performance impairments experienced by new moth-ers when involved in safety-sensitive activities such as driving a motor vehicle. Semistructured interviews were undertaken with women (N = 24) living in Southeast Queensland, Australia, at 12 weeks afer they had given birth. Key themes were identified, with a particular emphasis on understanding the link between the partici-pants' experience of PPF and the impact this had on their overall cognitive and physiological functioning as well as their experience of the driving task. Sleep-wake data were also collected, and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale was used to evaluate the potential crash risk for this group of mothers. It is proposed that the findings of this investigation could be used to improve current knowl-edge among new mothers and practitioners regarding the mechanisms and consequences of fatigue and to inform interventions that lead to a decreased risk of injury asso-ciated with PPF.
