About this trial

In this proposed study, the investigators hope to assess the quality of recovery after delivery in a local population that would take into account physiological and psychological parameters to better understand the recovery process after delivery. The investigators will identify risk factors, especially those that are modifiable and associated with a poorer ObsQoR score and hence a poor quality of recovery after delivery. This data may then be used to educate women and manage expectations in the postpartum period, and help develop potential therapeutic interventions.

Primary outcomes

1

Change of ObsQoR-10-Chinese after 60 mins

Time frame
Postpartum day 1; 1 day
2

Change of ObsQoR-10-Malay after 60 mins

Repeat of ObsQoR-10-Malay at 60 mins after the first postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Malay and its correlation to the previous hour ObsQoR-10-Malay (test-retest reliability)

Time frame
Postpartum day 1; 1 day

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Chinese and global health status

Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Chinese scores with EQ-5D-3L-Chinese scores and global health Visual analog scale (VAS) (GHVAS; how good or bad is patient's health today, in her opinion, from 100 'Best imaginable health state' to 0 'Worst imaginable health state')

Time frame
Postpartum day 1; 1 day
2

Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Malay and global health status

Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Malay scores with EQ-5D-3L-Malay scores and global health Visual analog scale (VAS) (GHVAS; how good or bad is patient's health today, in her opinion, from 100 'Best imaginable health state' to 0 'Worst imaginable health state')

Time frame

3

Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Chinese and recovery
