Cold application will be applied to the cesarean section site of the patient for 10 minutes in the experimental group, followed by a break of 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute application, and immediately after the application, the patient will stand up. Only the routine practice of the clinic will be applied to the control group. Data; will be collected using the introductory information form, visual analog scale (VAS) and cold application satisfaction evaluation form.
