简要总结
The act of giving birth can expose women to many risks during pregnancy and the birth process. It causes long-term emotional problems in pregnant women who experience labor pain and negatively affects their mental health. Episiotomy is a method applied to facilitate the birth of the baby by enlarging the vaginal opening. The postpartum period can significantly affect the lives of every mother, especially mothers who have had an episiotomy and vaginal birth. Many factors such as pain, fatigue and the negative effects of anesthetic drugs can negatively affect postpartum comfort and breastfeeding, causing late mother-baby bonding. With the support and information given to women during this period, women can be helped to make healthier and more accurate choices. They increasingly prefer natural methods to cope with problems that arise after birth. Some methods are used to accelerate recovery and prevent potential problems. Reflexology is an energy balancing system and special pressure method applied to reflex points with rubbing, squeezing and patting movements to increase rapid recovery.
详细描述
The researcher will apply the face-to-face interview method to women who have undergone episiotomy in the postpartum ward located within the additional service building of Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl City Hospital, Maternity and Child.
Experimental Group;
First Measurement: Personal Information Form, VAS and YİGBÖ will be applied 3 hours after birth. Then, the first foot reflexology lasting on average 30 minutes will be applied to these women.
Second Measurement: Immediately after the first foot reflexology, the pain intensity will be re-evaluated with VAS.
Third Measurement: 15 hours after birth, the pain level will be re-evaluated with VAS and then the experimental group will be applied foot reflexology for a second time lasting on average 30 minutes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group to apply foot reflexology technique to primiparas who underwent episiotomy
First Measurement: Personal Information Form, VAS and YİGBÖ will be applied 3 hours after birth. Then, the first foot reflexology lasting on average 30 minutes will be applied to these women.
Second Measurement: Immediately after the first foot reflexology, the pain intensity will be re-evaluated with VAS.
Third Measurement: 15 hours after birth, the pain level will be re-evaluated with VAS and then the experimental group will be applied a second foot reflexology lasting on average 30 minutes.
Fourth Measurement: VAS and YİGBÖ will be applied immediately after the second foot reflexology.
Fifth Measurement: DSİKÖ will be filled in at the 24th hour.
干预措施: reflexology (Behavioral)
Not Applying Foot Reflexology to Primiparous Women Who Underwent Episiotomy
First Measurement: Personal Information Form, VAS and YİGBÖ will be applied 3 hours after birth.
Second Measurement: Pain intensity will be re-evaluated with VAS immediately after the first foot reflexology simultaneously with the foot reflexology application chart applied to the experimental group.
Third Measurement: Pain level will be re-evaluated with VAS 15 hours after birth.
Fourth Measurement: VAS and YİGBÖ will be applied simultaneously with the foot reflexology application chart applied to the experimental group and immediately after the second foot reflexology.
Fifth Measurement: DSİKÖ will be filled out at the 24th hour before discharge.
结局指标
主要结局
Effect of Foot Reflexology on Perineal Pain, Fatigue and Quality of Recovery in Primiparous Women Undergoing Episiotomy
时间窗: up to 24. hours after birth
In primiparas who underwent episiotomy, the experimental group was the group to which foot reflexology was applied, while the control group was the group to which foot reflexology was not applied. A personal information form, Visual Analog Scale and Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue will be filled out for both groups. The VAS is numbered from 0 to 10. Findings have shown that VAS ratings of 0 to 4 mm per 100 mm can be considered no pain; 5 to 44 mm, mild pain; 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain; and 75 to 100 mm, severe pain. Scale ratings assess the effect of foot reflexology on episiotomy.
