“…Sleep is a major preoccupation for new parents, with disrupted and reduced sleep, tiredness and fatigue being common during their child's infancy, requiring behavioural and mental adjustment [1]. Although post-partum fatigue (PPF) is sometimes narrowly defined as occurring within the first 6-weeks after giving birth [2], a recent review from the UK National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit [3] characterised PPF as a consequence of disrupted sleep due to night-waking infants, difficulties settling the baby and night-time feeding that up to two-thirds of women (64-67%) experience for up to 2 years post-partum. By analysing data from the 2014 UK National Maternity Survey the authors determined which UK women were most affected.…”

Disrupted parental sleep, presenting as post-partum fatigue and perceived as problematic infant sleep, is related to increased symptoms of depression and anxiety among new mothers and fathers. Previous research indicates that UK parents would value an approach that facilitates meeting their infants' needs while supporting their own sleep-related well-being throughout their infant's first year. Six initial stakeholder meetings were held with 15 practitioners and 6 parents with an interest in supporting parent-infant sleep needs, to explore existing service provision and identify gaps. The Possums Sleep Program developed and delivered in Brisbane, Australia in a GP clinic setting, was chosen as an appropriate approach. Working collaboratively with a stakeholder group, we translated the Possums Sleep Program into an intervention that could be universally delivered in the UK via NHS antenatal and postnatal practitioners. Parent and practitioner views of the initial materials were obtained via feedback questionnaires and the tool was revised. The intervention was then field-tested by 164 practitioners who delivered it to at least 535 new parents and babies over 5 UK locations, to capture anonymous parent and practitioner views of the intervention concept, the materials, and their experiences with both. The intervention helps parents recalibrate their expectations of infant sleep development, encourages responsive parenting and experimentation to meet their infant's needs, offers parents strategies for supporting the development of their babies' biological sleep regulators and promote their own well-being, and teaches parents to manage negative thinking and anxiety that can impede sleep using the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The 'Sleep, Baby & You' discussion tool, a 14 page illustrated booklet for parents, was field-tested and evaluated by practitioners and parents who offered enthusiastic feedback. Practitioners reported the 'Sleep, Baby & You' materials were easy for them to explain and for parents to understand, and were a good fit with the responsive parenting approaches they employed in other areas of their work. Parents who received the intervention postnatally understood the material and found the suggestions easy to follow. All parents who provided feedback had implemented one or

Doğum sonrası yorgunluk, doğumdan sonra haftalarca sürebilen, annenin hem kendi hem de bebeğinin bakımını etkileyebilen ve anne ve bebek sağlığını tehdit edebilen önemli ve yaygın görülen bir sorundur. Bu çalışmada, doğum sonrası yorgunluğun yönetilmesinde kullanılan müdahaleleri belirlemek ve bu müdahalelerin etkinliğini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu sistematik derlemede; PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science ve EBSCOhost veri tabanlarında 'yorgunluk', 'doğum sonrası yorgunluk', 'doğum sonrası yorgunluk ve müdahaleler ya da farmakolojik olmayan müdahaleler' ve 'doğum sonrası yorgunluğun yönetimi veya stratejileri ve randomize kontrollü çalışma' anahtar kelimeleriyle tam metnine ulaşılabilen, 2010-2021 yılları arasında yayınlanmış dokuz randomize kontrollü çalışma incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Yapılan inceleme sonucunda, doğum sonu yorgunluğun yönetiminde eğitim (n=2), eğitim ve egzersiz (n=1), egzersiz (n=1), aromaterapi (n=1), akupunktur (n=1), lavanta çayı tüketme (n=1), uyumaya yardımcı olma (n=1) ve ten tene temas (n=1) girişimlerinin uygulandığı görülmüştür. İncelenen çalışmaların çoğunda annelerin doğum sonu yorgunluk düzeyinin azaldığı bildirilmiştir. Sonuç: Doğum sonu yorgunluğun etkili bir şekilde yönetilebilmesine yönelik uygulanan girişimlere ilişkin sınırlı bilgi ve uygulama yer almaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, doğum sonu yorgunluğa yönelik müdahaleleri kapsayan daha büyük örneklemle kanıt düzeyi yüksek araştırmaların yapılması, bu araştırmaların içerik, müdahale ve yöntem açısından zenginleştirilmesi, doğum sonu yorgunluğun etkilerini azaltabilecek yeni stratejiler geliştirilmesi önerilir.
