简要总结
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of hand and foot massage on incisional pain, sleeping pattern, and anxiety among post-Caesarean mothers in selected hospitals. A structured intervention involving daily 15–20 minute massages was given for 3–5 days post-surgery. Results showed significant reduction in pain, improved sleep quality, and decreased anxiety levels in the intervention group compared to those who received standard care. The findings suggest that hand and foot massage is a simple, non-invasive, and effective supportive therapy for enhancing recovery in post-Caesarean mothers.

A final assessment was conducted at the end of the 5-day intervention to evaluate overall changes in incisional pain, sleep pattern, and anxiety.
