heat application

• Thermophore Application: Before the application, the thermophore was wrapped in a towel to prevent skin damage. Studies in the literature indicate that the surface temperature of the thermophore should be 38-45 °C. For this reason, water with a temperature of 70°C when measured with a thermometer was added into the thermophore. Similarly, studies in the literature indicate that thermophore application should be applied for 10-30 minutes. Therefore, the application takes 20 minutes. The researcher stayed with the woman for 20 minutes.
