@entity1 @entity308 @entity25
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between postpartum @entity25 and postpartum @entity308 and describe the characteristics and demographics of the samples. DATA SOURCES: Electronic databases Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, EPOC, CINAHL, ProQuest, and Psych INFO. In addition, hand searches of bibliographies supplemented the electronic search. STUDY SELECTION: English language primary studies on the relationship between postpartum @entity25 and postpartum @entity308 were included. Thirteen observational studies met the inclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Data that specified the relationship between @entity25 and postpartum @entity308 were extracted from the studies. The data were organized per author, year, @entity1 , setting, country, demographics, design, sample size, outcomes, evidence, and effect size. DATA SYNTHESIS: The effect size indicating the relationship between @entity25 and postpartum @entity308 across the studies ranged between 0.4 and 1.7. There was evidence of a strong relationship between @entity25 and postpartum @entity308 ; however, the @entity1 in the 13 studies were predominantly educated, middle class, older than age 30 years, and White. Likewise, the definition and measurement of postpartum sleep varied across the studies, which increased the possibility of bias. CONCLUSIONS: Further research within the postpartum period involving underserved, younger @entity1 and samples with more diversity in race and ethnicity are needed.
