Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: It will be performed to minimize the problems that the mother and the newborn may experience in the postpartum period by eliminating the negative symptoms related to postpartum pain and delayed intestinal motility.

Design: It will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. Method: It will consist of women who had cesarean section surgery at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between April and July 2024. The sample of the research; The sample will consist of women who meet the selection criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the research. Considering the possible 10% data loss in randomized controlled studies, a total of 50 women, 25 in each group, were planned to be sampled. Data will be collected using a personal information form and visual pain scale (VAS). . Immediately before coffee application (6-12-18 hours after surgery), women's pain intensity and bowel motility will be evaluated. Women will then be asked to consume 100 ml of unsweetened caffeinated coffee at 6, 12 and 18 hours after surgery. 6,12,18. Half an hour after coffee consumption, women will be evaluated for pain using VAS. In the control group, no procedure will be applied and pain assessment will be made with VAS at the same hours.

Conclusion: It is aimed to reduce the pain and increase intestinal motility of patients who consume coffee after cesarean section.

Description:

Cesarean section is one of the most common surgical operations in obstetrics and gynecology. While the caesarean section rate is 25-40% in developed countries such as the United States, Ireland, England and China, this rate is 48% in Turkey. For this reason, post-cesarean pain and delayed bowel motility are among the common problems due to the surgical intervention. Post-cesarean pain can delay return to normal daily activities and negatively affect the mother's psychological health, breastfeeding, and mother-infant bonding. In addition to pain, delayed bowel motility due to changes in the autonomic nervous system is among the most common problems experienced after cesarean section. Appropriate health care provided by medical personnel during the postpartum period can enable the woman to be discharged early. Therefore, non-invasive, low-cost and uncomplicated methods should be preferred to reduce pain in the postoperative period and ensure the first spontaneous passing of gas and early defecation. In the literature review, although there is no study determining the effect of drinking coffee on pain in the postoperative period, there are studies stating that coffee can contribute to early GI motility in the postoperative period after abdominal surgery and shorten the time for passing gas, defecation and discharge. Therefore, this research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with the aim of minimizing the problems that the mother and the newborn may experience in the postpartum period by eliminating the negative symptoms related to postpartum pain and delayed intestinal motility.
