About this trial
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of the trainings included in the content of the practical guide for postpartum supporter training companions, which will be given to the companions of women in the postpartum period, on depression and fatigue on mothers. The research will be conducted in methodological and single blind randomised control design. The study will be conducted at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. A total of 70 puerperants will be included in the study as intervention (n: 35) and control (n: 35) groups. Introductory Information Form, Postpartum depression rating scale as data collection tools in the study: Motherhood Monitoring Scale by Parents (MMSP), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EDDS), Multidimensional Fatigue Rating Scale will be used. The research data will be collected three times as pre-test data, fourth day and tenth day. Number, percentage, mean and standard deviation will be used in the evaluation of descriptive data; Chi-square test will be used for the similarity of the descriptive characteristics of the experimental and control groups; Kolmogrow-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk will be used in the normality analysis of dependent variables; t test in independent groups (student t test) will be used to compare the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups; and ANOVA in dependent groups will be used to compare the pre-test-post-test mean scores of the experimental group and eta square will be used to calculate effect sizes. The results obtained will be tested at p\<0.05 significance level and bidirectionally. When the literature is examined, there is not enough data on the depression and fatigue of the companion caring for the woman in the postpartum period. This study aims to fill the gaps in the literature and to reduce depression and fatigue in mothers.
