简要总结
Back pain caused by posture changes and increased weight on the breasts during breastfeeding may negatively affect breastfeeding success and self-efficacy. Kinesio tape application, which is an effective and cost-effective method, can provide a more comfortable breastfeeding experience by controlling this pain.
详细描述
Despite the universality of these globally valid recommendations for the promotion of breastfeeding, the frequency and prevalence of breastfeeding rates vary from country to country and even between regions within certain countries. Planning and successful implementation of interventions to promote breast milk is possible by controlling both positive and negative factors that affect the success and duration of breastfeeding. In order to control the physical problems associated with breastfeeding, existing approaches in the literature for pain management such as fullness of the breasts due to increased lactation, poor positioning during breastfeeding, backaches. Kinesio taping is one of these methods, and since it does not have any pharmacological content, it is a practice that does not have side effects on breastfeeding and lactation.

结局指标
主要结局
The first outcome measure of the study is to examine the effect of Kinesio tape application on back pain in the mothers in the experimental group.
时间窗: Average 2 weeks
The VAS pain scale will be used for this.Visual Analog Scale (VAS): The scale is used to measure pain intensity. The scale consists of a 10 cm or 100 mm long horizontal or vertical ruler showing "no pain" at one end and "the most severe pain" possible at the other end. At the left end of the line is the expression "No pain" or "Pain is completely gone", while at the right end is the expression "Unbearable pain" or "There is no decrease in pain". A score of 6 and above indicates that the pain level has increased.
Mother Introduction Form
时间窗: Average 2 weeks
This form was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature. The form consists of 9 questions that question about breastfeeding process and her baby' demographics.
次要结局
- The second outcome measure of the study is to determine the effect of the interventions on the breastfeeding self-efficacy of the mothers in the experimental group.(Average 2 weeks)
- The second outcome measure of the study is to determine the effect of the interventions on the breastfeeding success perception of the mothers in the experimental group.(Average 2 weeks)
