The Effect of Foot Reflexology After Cesarean Section

NCT05268328 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Standardized, quality and evidence-based nursing care after cesarean section is important to prevent or minimize complications that may occur after cesarean section. This evidence-based care will contribute to the shortening of the recovery period of the mother, the early start of postpartum bowel movements, the decrease in the perceived pain level, and the increase in postpartum comfort, thus facilitating the adaptation to new life and roles. On the other hand, although a limited number of studies reported the effects of reflexology, no study investigating the effect of reflexology on pain, comfort level and GIS motility developed after SD was found. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology on pain, intestinal motility and comfort after cesarean section.

Hypothesis(s):

H1: Foot reflexology after cesarean section reduces the level of pain perception.

H2: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases intestinal motility. H3: Foot reflexology after cesarean section increases postpartum comfort.
