  The Postnatal Accumulated Fatigue Scale (PAFS) (Tsuchiya et al., 2016) was once used to investigate maternal fatigue and included questions masking the three areas of physical, emotional and cognitive fatigue. The PAFS involves thirteen objects with every coded on a three-point response ranking the place zero = rarely, 1 = sometimes and three = often. Total rankings vary from zero to 39 with greater ratings indicating a greater stage of fatigue. The PAFS consists of questions overlaying three areas of physical, emotional, and cognitive fatigue and has top validity and interior consistency.
