Abstract
Directed attention, the ability to focus and concentrate, is essential for effective functioning. Pregnancy, birth, and parenting place unique demands on attentional capacity, increasing the risk of attentional fatigue. A longitudinal quasi-experimental design was used to examine changes in attention in the third trimester of pregnancy and postpartum and to test a restorative intervention.
