| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the effectiveness of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF)intervention for reduction of psychological stress in women in the early postpartum period.On postpartum day 4,55 healthy subjects received a brief explanation about HRV-BF using a portable device.At 1 month postpartum,there was a significant decrease in total Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score(p<0.01)in the biofeedback group;this change was brought about mainly by decreases in items related to anxiety or difficulty sleeping.There was also a significant increase in standard deviation of the normal heartbeat interval(p<0.01)of the resting HRV measures in the biofeedback group after adjusting for potential covariates.
In conclusion,at 1 month postpartum women who implemented HRV-BF after delivery were relatively free from anxiety and complained less of difficulties sleeping.HRV-BF appears to be recommendable for many postpartum women as a feasible health-promoting measure after childbirth.
