简要总结
The study will be carried out in a randomized controlled manner in order to examine the effectiveness of acupressure applied in the late postpartum period in postpartum women who have had back pain and have had a cesarean delivery. The sample of the study will consist of 70 participants who applied to the family health center between 05.06.2023 and 05.12.2024, who had cesarean birth registered in the central family health center in Kocaeli province Kandıra district, who met the research criteria and agreed to participate in the research. Data in the research; It will be collected using the 'Participant Information Form', 'VAS (Visual Analog Scale for Evaluating Back Pain)', 'McGill Pain Questionnaire (Short Form)'. Participants in the acupressure group will be given 2 times acupressure application in the 1st week and 4th week postpartum. No application will be made to the participants in the control group. The research is planned to be carried out after obtaining the necessary institutional and ethical committee permissions.
详细描述
Aim: The study was planned to examine the effect of acupressure on back pain in the late postpartum period after cesarean section.
Hypothesis(s):
H0: Acupressure application applied to puerperant women who had a cesarean delivery in the late postpartum period has no effect on reducing the level of back pain.
H1: Acupressure application applied to puerperant women who had cesarean delivery in the late postpartum period reduces the level of back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual analog scale for assessing back pain
时间窗: This scale will be filled in by the participants after the application is made at the end of the first week after birth.
The application will be made at the end of the first week after birth. The participant marks his or her own pain on a 10 cm ruler, which says no pain on one end and the most severe pain on the other end. The participant is told that there are two endpoints and to mark anywhere between these points that matches the severity of the pain. The distance between the onset of no pain and this point marked by the patient is measured and recorded in centimeters. It is stated that VAS is more sensitive and reliable than other unidimensional scales in pain severity measurement. The VAS is more sensitive than the simple descriptive scale.
