结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale - VAS
时间窗: 7th day
VAS is an effective rule is measuring the pain score. It ranges from 0 -10 cm line scale with the following description; 0 cm = no pain 1 - 3 cm = mild pain 4 - 7 cm = moderate pain 8 - 10 cm = severe pain (20). When assessing the validity of VAS, a good-to-excellent correlation was found (r = 0.941), this scale had excellent test-retest reliability. The intra - class correlation coefficients of the VAS was 0.97
Six Point Engorgement Scale - SPE
时间窗: 7th day
Six point engorgement scale was the scale for the determination of the breast engorgement. The reliability of tool engorgement was 0.948 (22). The score of this scale ranges from 1 - 6. Every score has a following description; 1. = no changes in breast / soft breast 2. = slight changes in breast 3. = firm but no breast tenderness 4. = firm with starting breast tenderness 5. = tender and firm 6. = very tender and very firm
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale - BSES
时间窗: 7th day
It includes the 14 items that measure the confidence of the breastfeeding. The divergent validity of the BSES-SF was proved via a significant negative correlation with scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (r = - 0.273, P \< 0.001). In sum, BSES-SF is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring breastfeeding self-efficacy
