Clinical Trial Description

The postpartum (or postnatal) period begins after childbirth and is typically considered to last for six weeks. Postpartum period can be a challenging time for many women, as they often experience increased stress levels, fatigue, and a change in their overall quality of life. Stress is considered a response to any stressor within external or internal milieu, to stay in an adaptive mode using functional or dysfunctional coping skills. It initiates an alterable mode that ultimately becomes a prolonged adaptive struggle when an individual cannot find the right coping skills, which may then become a long term dysfunctional state, hence a chronic psychiatric condition. The study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Jinnah hospital, Lahore. This study will be completed in time duration of 5_6 months after the approval of synopsis. Non probability convenience sampling technique will be used and participants will be recruited in study after randomization. The subjects will be divided into two groups and the group A will receive progressive relaxation technique along with Benson relaxing technique. and group B will receive progressive relaxation technique and deep breathing exercises will be used as a baseline treatment. The tools that will be used for pre and post treatment assessment are Postpartum fatigue scale(PFS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS_10), WHOQOL-BREF Scale.
