Maternal Fatigue After Postpartum Anemia Treatment With Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose and Oral Iron Therapy

Postpartum Anemia is common after childbirth and may contribute to tiredness and reduced wellbeing in mothers.This randomized controlled trial will compare two treatments for postpartum iron deficiency:intravenous ferric carboxymaltose and oral iron therapy .This study will assess whether intravenous ferric carboxymaltose provides greater improvement in maternal fatigue during the first 6 weeks after childbirth compared to oral iron.Secondary outcomes will be assessment of depressive symptoms and breastfeeding self efficacy .Eligible postpartum women with iron deficiency anemia will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous ferric carboxymaltose or oral iron therapy and will be followed for six weeks.The study hypothesis is that intravenous ferric carboxymaltose will result in greater improvement in maternalfatigue and may also effect breastfeeding self efficacy .

Back Massage for Postpartum Fatigue and Maternity Blues After Cesarean Birth

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of back massage applied after elective cesarean birth on postpartum fatigue and maternity blues.

Postpartum fatigue and maternity blues were assessed on the second postoperative day before discharge.

Effect of Tele-Rehabilitation on Low Back Pain, Fatigue, and Psychological Well-being in Postpartum Women Following C-Section

The goal of this study is to learn whether tele-rehabilitation helps postpartum women recover from low back pain after a cesarean section (C-section). The study will also look at whether tele-rehabilitation helps reduce fatigue, improve psychological well-being, and make daily activities easier. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does tele-rehabilitation reduce low back pain in postpartum women after a C-section? * Does it reduce postpartum fatigue? * Does it improve psychological well-being? * Does it improve the ability to perform daily activities? Participants will: * Be selected using a computer-generated random sampling method from eligible postpartum women. * Complete assessments before and after the treatment program. * Receive therapeutic exercises and ergonomic education through tele-rehabilitation if assigned to the intervention group. * Receive ergonomic education about posture, breastfeeding, lifting, carrying, and back care if assigned to the control group. * Complete questionnaires about their pain, fatigue, psychological well-being, and ability to perform daily activities. The study may help determine whether tele-rehabilitation is a practical way to provide physiotherapy support to women recovering at home after a C-section.

Effects of Warm Shower on Lactation, Fatigue, and Maternal Burnout

Lactation is a physiological process in which various hormones, especially prolactin and oxytocin, play a role. Methods such as warm showers are preferred because they are easy to apply and have a quick effect, as well as being cost-effective. It increases the amount of milk by showing a direct effect on oxytocin and prolactin hormones in the breastfeeding process that strengthens the bond between mother and baby. It helps to make the breastfeeding process more enjoyable for mother and baby. Guidelines in the literature emphasize that the mother should be psychologically evaluated and that practices that can relax her according to her needs should be applied to increase breastfeeding success. In addition to hormonal regulation, a warm shower improves self-care. In this way, breastfeeding motivation increases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of warm showers in the morning and evening in the first 3 postpartum days on the amount of breast milk by shedding light on hormones and lactation process.
