| Research Abstract |
Mothers soon after childbirth are recovering physically and also taking on multiple roles. Early postpartum is an especially stressful and sensitive time for mothers as they focus on incorporating a new member into the family, lack of sleep, sleep deprivation and fatigue. However, their physical health has been relatively neglected both in research and practice. This research described the general health status of mothers in early parenthood longitudinally.
This study revealed subjectively and objectively that mothers in early parenthood were poor physical health, disturbed sleep frequently. Getting good quality sleep should important to maintain good health conditions and to accomplish better childcare for women who are in one or more years after childbirth.
