What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the quality of recovery after childbirth by using a newly developed obstetric-specific recovery tool called ObsQoR-10. The study will focus on both physiological and psychological parameters to understand the recovery process better. It will involve translating the ObsQoR-10 questionnaire into Chinese and Malay, validating its effectiveness in these populations, and identifying modifiable risk factors associated with poorer recovery outcomes. A total of 112 postpartum women will be recruited to complete the translated questionnaires and additional assessments related to mood, anxiety, and pain.
