Telerehabilitation in Postpartum Women

The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, developed by Cox and Holden, is used to determine the risk of depression in the postpartum period and to measure the change in level and severity. The scale is a self-assessment scale consisting of 10 questions in 4-point Likert type. The scores obtained from the scale vary between 0-30. The cut-off point is 13 and those who score 13 and above are considered to have depression risk/suspicion.

It was adapted from the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire to measure physical activity in women. In the scale, both how often the activities are done and how much time is spent on that activity are questioned. The survey consists of 38 questions in total. The questions in the survey are grouped under four main headings: "housework/care", "occupational", "active life", "sports and exercise". There are 11, 8, 4 and 15 questions in these categories, respectively. The questions are scored from 1 to 5. The scores of each category are averaged. It is then multiplied by the frequency, duration and MET value and summed up on all activities. The MET values of 3.5, 5 and 7, respectively, were used to represent the average MET values of activity in each intensity category. Categorical, total activity and weighted total activity scores are calculated.

It is a 53-item multidimensional symptom screening scale developed by Derogatis (1992). It consists of 9 subscales and 3 global indexes. These; It includes somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptom, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid thought, and psychoticism dimensions. The scoring of the items is in the liker type between 0 and 4. The total score range varies between "0-212". It is evaluated that the higher the score, the higher the frequency of mental symptoms. Subscale scores are obtained by dividing the sum of the scores given to the items forming each subscale by the number of items.

The scale evaluates physical, mental, social and environmental well-being and consists of 26 questions. Field scores range from 4 to 20, and the higher the score, the higher the quality of life.

The Scale is shown as the best example among one-dimensional scales. Each item of the scale, which consists of 9 items that patients can apply to themselves, is scored between 1-7 and the total score is calculated by taking the average of 9 items. The cut-off value for pathological fatigue was determined as 4 and above. The lower total scores mean less fatigue.

The scale is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disturbance in the past month. It consists of 24 questions, 19 questions self-report questions, 5 questions to be answered by the spouse or roommate. The 18 scored questions of the scale consist of 7 components. Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disorder, Sleeping Drug Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component is evaluated over 0-3 points. The total score of the 7 components gives the scale total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality".
