Abstract

Abstract:
Introduction: Working lactating women experience stress and exhaustion, which has an impact on the family's overall quality of life and raises the likelihood of workplace accidents.
Objective: The purpose of this research was to find out to what extent lactating female medical field personnel are impacted by stress and fatigue, as well as to investigate the link between fatigue and stress.
Methods: The fatigue assessment scale and the perceived stress scale were used to evaluate stress and fatigue of 60 breastfeeding medical females who were employed in the field.
Results: The findings revealed that lactating medical sector personnel experience high levels of stress and fatigue, as well as a substantial positive correlation between fatigue and stress.
Conclusion: There was a substantial positive association between fatigue and stress in employed lactating women, and there was a high degree of fatigue and stress among employed female doctors who were breastfeeding, so it is important to find effective treatments that can solve the problem.
