Abstract

Background

Fatigue is prevalent during the postpartum period and may be heightened in postpartum depressed women.

Purpose

To evaluate the efficacy of a home-based exercise intervention in reducing physical and mental fatigue scores in postpartum depressed women.

Methods

Eighty-eight women in the postpartum (4–38 weeks) obtaining a score ≥10 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were randomly assigned to a 12-week individualized home-based intervention (n = 46) or a control group (n = 42).
All participants completed a cardiovascular fitness test at baseline. Outcomes were physical and mental fatigue scores and were measured at baseline, posttreatment and 3 months posttreatment.

Results

On the basis of intent-to-treat analyses, compared to the control group, women in the exercise group showed significantly greater reduction in physical fatigue at posttreatment [mean change =  −4.07, (95% CI, (−5.15, −2.98)] and 3 months posttreatment [mean change = −4.24, (95% CI, (−5.36, −3.12)]. Significant reductions in mental fatigue with exercise were observed at posttreatment for women reporting lower physical fatigue at baseline.

Conclusions

Fatigue is a common symptom experienced in the postpartum that can be heightened by depression. The findings show that home-based exercise can reduce physical and mental fatigue in postpartum depressed women.
