Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and connective tissue massage on sleep, mother-infant attachment and psychological state in postpartum women.
Detailed Description
Postpartum period can affect the mental and physical health of women. Women may experience sleep problems and psychological problems due to hormonal changes and newborn care responsibilities. As a result, mother-infant attachment may also be affected. Physical activity and exercise should be encouraged in the postpartum period. It is known that aerobic exercises have positive effects on sleep and psychological problems. With the effects of connective tissue massage on the autonomic and circulatory system in the body, positive effects on sleep and psychological state can be achieved, but there are insufficient studies on this subject. In addition, no study has been found to the best of our knowledge comparing the effects of aerobic exercise and connective tissue massage in postpartum women.
