Study Overview
Brief Summary
Mental simulations can motivate patients for their first verticalization after cesarean section, although perceived anxiety before verticalization may reduce a positive effect of mental simulations.

Arms & Interventions
process simulation group
an experimental group with process simulation with elements of relaxation
Intervention: mental simulation (Behavioral)
outcome simulation group
an experimental group with outcome simulation with elements of relaxation
Intervention: mental simulation (Behavioral)
control group
a control group with no process and outcome simulations, but with elements of relaxation
Intervention: mental simulation (Behavioral)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
duration of the first mobilization
Time Frame: Immediately after a single mental simulation
Time form the start of the measurement was set at getting out of bed from a sitting position, and the end of the measurement was set at the patient's return to bed.
willingness to verticalize
Time Frame: Immediately after a single mental simulation
Percentage of women who were willing to verticalize after listening to the recording. Assessed on a on a six-point scale.
verticalization
Time Frame: Immediately after a single mental simulation
Percentage of the success of verticalization after listening to the recording.
Secondary Outcomes
- pain level(3 time points (before and immediately after a single mental simulation, and immediately after verticalization.)
- anxiety(upon arrival at the recovery room, before and immediately after a single mental simulation.)
