Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of the duration of the active labor phase on postpartum fatigue and comfort.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a maternity hospital in Istanbul, Turkey date 2018. Nulliparous pregnant women without any risk (n: 120) participated in the study. Data were collected using the “Information Form”, the “Visual Analogue Scale”, the “Postpartum Comfort Scale” and the “Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue”, and statistically analyzed.
Results: The mean age of the women was 23.66±4.24 years. 22.5% felt very tired in the postpartum period. Their mean duration of active labor phase was 5.00±1.88 hours. Their Postpartum Comfort Scale and Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue mean scores were 131.30±13.39 and 96.67±47.82, respectively.
Conclusion: Duration of active labor phase did not affect postpartum fatigue and comfort of women
