• Only yoga nidra will not be applied to the control group. Other measurements and follow-ups will be carried out in parallel as in the experimental group.

Data collection tools:

• Introductory Information Form

• Visual Analogue Scale for Pain

• Patient Mobility Scale and Observer Mobility Scale

• Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale

• Note: Mobilisation distance will be measured with a metre.

Measurement time:

• Introductory Information Form will be filled out before application.

• Pain level will be measured immediately before the application.

• immediately after the application pain, mobilisation, first walking distance and maternal satisfaction will be measured.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Cesarean Pain	Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; It scores between 0 and 10, and the higher the score, the greater the pain.	immediately before yoga nidra application
Primary	Cesarean Pain	Visual Analogue Scale for Pain	immediately after yoga nidra application
Primary	Patient Mobilization	Patient Mobility Scale; The lowest and highest score that can be obtained from each item is between 0-15, and the total score is between 0-120. An increase in scale scores for the question answers in the study indicates an increase in pain and stiffness related to activity.	immediately after yoga nidra application
Primary	Observer Mobilization	Observer Mobility Scale; The lowest and highest score that can be obtained from each item of the scale is between 1-5, and the total score is between 4-20. An increase in the score indicates insufficient mobility.	immediately after yoga nidra application
Primary	Patient Satisfaction	Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale	immediately after yoga nidra application
Primary	Walking distance	The first walking distance of the mothers will be measured with a meter.	immediately after yoga nidra application
