Fatigue, Anxiety, and Mother-Baby Bonding and Effect of the Emotional Freedom
1\. Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue (VSSF): This is a visual analog scale designed to assess an individual's subjective level of fatigue. Participants are presented with a straight line anchored by the descriptors "not at all fatigued" (0 points) on one end and "extremely fatigued" (10 points) on the other. Participants are asked to mark the point on the line that best represents their current fatigue level. Scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10. Higher scores indicate a higher level of perceived fatigue. This scale is widely used in clinical settings due to its simplicity and efficiency.

2.State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-II) The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-II) consists of two subscales that measure state and trait anxiety, each using a four-point Likert-type response format. In the State Anxiety Scale, the response options are: (1) Not at all, (2) Somewhat, (3) Moderately so, and (4) Very much so. In the Trait Anxiety Scale, the options are: (1) Almost never, (2) Sometimes, (3) Often, and (4) Almost always. Higher scores on the inventory indicate a higher level of anxiety. The total score obtained from the scale ranges between 20 and 80. Scores between 20 and 39 indicate mild anxiety, scores between 40 and 59 indicate moderate anxiety, scores between 60 and 79 indicate high anxiety, and a score of 80 indicates a panic-level anxiety.

3.Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) The Mother-Infant Bonding Scale is designed to be used from the very first day after birth and allows the mother to describe her feelings toward her baby in a single word. The scale consists of 8 items and is structured as a 4-point Likert-type scale. Each item is rated using four response options ranging from (0) Very much to (3) Never. Items 1, 4, and 6 reflect positive emotions and are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3 respectively. Items 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 reflect negative emotions and are reverse scored as 3, 2, 1, 0. The total score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more negative effects on bonding between the mother and the baby.
