Clinical Trial Summary

Immediately after cesarean birth, many women suffer from breastfeeding problems due to pain, fatigue, activity intolerance, anesthesia, and delayed onset of lactation. Because of these avoidable problems, the baby cannot get enough breast milk, and mothers' postpartum comfort decreases.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of reflexology on lactation and postpartum comfort in primiparas giving births through cesarean section.


Clinical Trial Description

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 women with first birth through cesarean section were investigated between May 2016 and May 2017. Expectant mothers were randomly included into an intervention and a control group. The intervention group consisted of mothers for whom reflexology was performed three times per day for 30 min every eight hours.

With face-to-face interviews, all participants were informed about the design, content and methods to be used in the study, and the sociodemographic data obtained self-reportingly from the primiparas were recorded. The data were collected between May 2016 and May 2017. In collecting the data related to primiparas and infants, a questionnaire structured by the researchers in light of literature was used, as well as The breastfeeding charting system (LATCH), The visual analogue scale (VAS) for signs of onset of lactation and The postpartum comfort questionnaire (PPCQ). ;
