详细描述
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of hand massage stimulation techniques applied to pregnant women with low back pain on pain and comfort.
Data will be collected from pregnant women who apply to the NST polyclinic in the gynecology and obstetrics clinic of the Adıyaman Gölbaşı State Hospital and complain of back pain. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate will be informed about the study and participants who fill out the "Minimum Informed Consent Form" will be included in the study. Data collection forms will be applied by the researcher, paying attention to patient privacy, and the pre-test data collection phase will be completed. After the pre-test data collection phase is completed, hand stimulation techniques (su-jok seed therapy) will be applied to the pregnant women in the experimental group by the researcher. Pregnant women will be invited to the pregnancy education class in the relevant hospital and detailed information will be given about the application, and pain points will be determined according to the reflections of the organs on the hand. Buckwheat seeds, one of the seeds used for back pain, will be fixed on the detected points and the fixed seed will be removed after 5-6 hours. This application will be done in 1 session and the post-test will be applied 15 minutes after the seed is removed. This intervention will be implemented by Esra Tan and the researcher has a basic level su jok therapy certificate. No intervention will be applied to the pregnant women in the control group, however, the Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Prenatal Comfort Scale and Oswestry Disability Index will be applied simultaneously with the experimental group.

主要结局
Prenatal Comfort Scale scores
时间窗: At baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately after completion of seed therapy]
The initial version of the scale consisted of 34 items, but was later revised by the authors and shortened to 15 items (21). The short version of the scale consists of 15 items and 5 sub-dimensions. Each item is scored between 0-5 (0=Strongly disagree, 1=Disagree, 2=Undecided, 3=Somewhat agree, 4=Agree, 5=Strongly agree). The scale is evaluated out of a total of 75 points.
