The Effect of Two Methods Applied to Mothers on Insufficient Milk Perception, Breastfeeding Motivation, Fatigue, Anxiety
- Conditions
- Caesarean Section
- Registration Number
- NCT06687447
- Lead Sponsor
- T.C. ORDU ÜNİVERSİTESİ
- Brief Summary
Although the World Health Organization predicts the caesarean section rate to be 10-15%, the caesarean section rate in Turkey is 52%, more than three times the international standard. It is very important to eliminate the physical and psychosocial problems experienced by women during this period, to encourage breastfeeding, and at the same time to protect and improve maternal health. Maintaining the mother's well-being after cesarean section and supporting pharmacological treatment with non-pharmacological practices have an important place in nursing care. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of oxytocin massage and reflexology applied to mothers in the post-cesarean period on the perception of insufficient milk, breastfeeding motivation, fatigue, anxiety and uterine involution.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Insufficient Milk Perception Scale 36 hours The Insufficient Milk Perception Scale consists of a total of 6 questions and a single subscale. The first question on the scale is whether the mother finds her milk sufficient. The first question is answered as yes or no. The other 5 questions are scored between 0-10. The given score indicates that as it approaches zero, the mother perceives her milk as inadequate, and as she approaches 10, she perceives enough. A minimum of zero points and a maximum of 50 points can be obtained from the scale. The high score indicates that milk is sufficiently perceived.
Primipar Breastfeeding Motivation Scale 36 hours The Insufficient Milk Perception Scale consists of a total of 6 questions and a single subscale. The first question on the scale is whether the mother finds her milk sufficient. The first question is answered as yes or no. The other 5 questions are scored between 0-10. The given score indicates that as it approaches zero, the mother perceives her milk as inadequate, and as she approaches 10, she perceives enough. A minimum of zero points and a maximum of 50 points can be obtained from the scale. The high score indicates that milk is sufficiently perceived.
Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) 36 hours The scale consists of 29 items and has a 7-point Likert type and 4 sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions; the value given to breastfeeding (items 1,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,15,20,24,25,28), self-efficacy (items 9,16,17,18,19,26,29 ), midwife support (items 21,22,23,27), success expectation (items 3,5,7,11,13). As the score obtained from each sub-dimension increases, the breastfeeding motivation level of that sub-dimension increases.
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) 36 hours The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a commonly used measure of trait and state anxiety. It can be used in clinical settings to diagnose anxiety and to distinguish it from depressive syndromes. It also is often used in research as an indicator of caregiver distress. Form has 20 items for assessing for state anxiety. State anxiety items include: "I am tense; I am worried" and "I feel calm; I feel secure." All items are rated on a 4-point scale (e.g., from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always"). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Uterine Involution Evaluation Form 36 hours This form is a form prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, in which the measurement of the length of the uterus is recorded and the uterine involution process of postpartum women is evaluated. The length of the uterus; It will be done by measuring the distance between the fundus of the uterus and the symphysis pubis with the help of a tape measure. When measuring uterine length, women will be ensured that their bladder is empty and the same tape measure will be used in all measurements.
Physiological Parameters Evaluation Form 36 hours In this study, heart rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and blood pressure values will be measured and recorded in the Physiological Parameters Form.
