Study type | Interventional |
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.

Primary | The breastfeeding charting system (LATCH) | As nurses are more likely to use a subjective criterion as poor /fair/ well to document and assess breastfeeding, LATCH provides a systematic method to collect information about individual breastfeeding sessions. The system is scored between 0 and 5 to indicate the key components of breastfeeding. Each breastfeeding session is assessed in light of the total score. A total score lower than 10 means that mothers are to be supported (Yenal and Okumus, 2003; Demirhan, 1997; Jensen et al., 1995). The letters of the acronym LATCH designate separate areas of assessment: ''L'' for how well infants latch onto the breast, ''A'' for the amount of audible swallowing,''T'' for mothers' nipple type, ''C'' for mothers' level of comfort, ''H'' for the amount of support given for infants to hold the breast. | Change from The breastfeeding charting system (LATCH) scores at first, second and third days after cesarean. | |
Primary | The visual analogue scale (VAS) for signs of onset of lactation | VAS was used to evaluate breast changes during the onset of lactation by mothers' self-reports, as in the study performed by Mauri et al. (2015). Initial signs of lactation were assessed as breast-tension, increase in breast-heat and breast-pain, and scored from 0 (no signs) to 10 (most powerful signs) (Mauri et al., 2015). | Change from The visual analogue scale (VAS) for signs of onset of lactation scores at first, second and third days after cesarean | |
Primary | The postpartum comfort questionnaire (PPCQ) | Constituted by Kolcaba in 1992, the General Comfort Scale (GCS) was adapted to Turkish by Kuguoglu and Karabacak in 2004 (Kuguoglu and Karabacak, 2008). Based on the Turkish version of GCS, the Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire (PPCQ) was developed by Karakaplan and Yildiz in 2010. Factor analyses were assigned to test the validity and reliability of GCS. The internal consistency in terms of reliability was tested, and the Cronbach's alpha was found as 0.78. PPCQ evaluates the physical, psychospiritual and sociocultural comfort of mothers after CS or vaginal delivery. These comfort areas also constitute the subdimensions of the scale. The scale using a 5-point Likert-type scoring includes 34 items, ranging from 5 (strongly agree) as the highest level of comfort to 1 (strongly disagree) as the lowest. Reverse coding is applied to the items with negative statements. The minimum and the maximum scores on the scale change between 34 and 170. The scores close to 170 indicate a high level of | At the end of 3rd day, The postpartum comfort questionnaire (PPCQ) was performed for all mothers. |
