Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of back massage application after cesarean section on women's pain, anxiety, sleep, breastfeeding, comfort, uterine involution process and physiological parameters. This research is a randomized controlled experimental type study with a pretest-posttest control group. In the research, after obtaining the necessary permissions and the ethics committee report, the application will be carried out to women who have given birth by cesarean section at the State Hospital and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. Personal Information Form, Richard Campbell Sleep Scale, Trait-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Postpartum Comfort Scale, Bristol Breastfeeding Evaluation Tool, Visual Analog Scale for Pain, Uterine Involution Evaluation Form, Physiological Parameter Form will be used in the research.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of back massage after cesarean section on women's pain, anxiety, sleep, breastfeeding, comfort, uterine involution process and physiological parameters. This research is a randomized controlled experimental type study with a pretest-posttest control group. Personal Information Form, Richard Campbell Sleep Scale, Trait-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Postpartum Comfort Scale, Bristol Breastfeeding Evaluation Tool, Visual Analog Scale for Pain, Uterine Involution Evaluation Form, Physiological Parameter Form will be used in the research. Collection of Data This research is a randomized controlled experimental type study with a pretest-posttest control group. The data of the research will be collected after the necessary institutional permission and ethics committee approval have been obtained. Data will be collected in three stages. Women who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will be informed about the method to be followed in the research. Those who want to participate in the research will read and sign the volunteer information form. First Stage: Women who apply to the selected hospital, meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be visited 12 hours after cesarean delivery, the women will be informed, verbal and written consent will be obtained from women who want to participate in the study, and pre-test data will be collected by the researcher. Before randomization to the intervention and control groups, the researcher will give general information to the mothers about the research at the 12th hour after cesarean section and their written informed consent will be obtained. The pre-test data of the research were collected face to face in an average of 20 minutes with the 'Personal Information Form', 'Trait-Trait Anxiety Inventory', 'Postpartum Comfort Scale', 'Bristol Breastfeeding Evaluation Tool', 'Uterus Involution Evaluation Form' and 'Physiological Parameter Form'. It will be filled in by the participants themselves using the interview technique. The height of the fundus section of the uterus, heart rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and blood pressure physiological parameters will be monitored by the researcher. Second Stage: 'Visual Analog Scala' and 'Physiological Parameter Form' data will be filled in again by the researcher one hour after massage for the intervention group (13 hours after cesarean delivery), and for the control group 13 hours after cesarean delivery. Third Stage: Post-test data 24 hours after the intervention group was massaged by the researcher; 'Richard Campbell Sleep Scale', 'Visual Analog Scala', 'Trait-Trait Anxiety Inventory', 'Postpartum Comfort Scale', 'Bristol Breastfeeding Assessment Tool', 'Uterine Involution Evaluation Form', 'Physiological Parameter Form' will be filled in again. . Participants in the control group will not receive massage and will receive routine nursing care. Pain, sleep, comfort, breastfeeding and heart rate, body temperature, anxiety, uterine involution, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood pressure physiological parameters of women in the control group will be measured at the same time intervals. ;
