Brief Summary

The main subject of this project is the problem of pain after cesarean section. It is known that the application of hot water reduces the pain of the patients, with the decrease of the pain, the vital signs of the patient are improved and the comfort level increases. Our project work is based on this subject.

Conditions

Cesarean Section

Keywords

Cesarean section; Hot Water; Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Pain assessed by VAS score

  Chancing in pain after cesarean section. The data will be obtained by using Visual Analog Scale. A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. For example, the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain.

  3rd and 6th hours after cesarean section

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change the comfort score

  12 th hours after cesarean section

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Hot water will be applied to the participants in the experimental group at the 2nd and 6th hours postoperatively. During the hot water application, the feet of the individual will be immersed in the hot water application device and kept in the device for 20 minutes. At the end of the 20th minute, the feet of the individual will be removed from the device and dried with a towel for 10 minutes and the application will be completed. The data will be obtained by using the Introductory Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Postpartum Comfort Scale and Post Cesarean Patient Evaluation Form.

Other: Hot water application

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Routine care will be given to the control group

Interventions

Hot water application OTHER

Hot application is applied by contacting any part of the body with a temperature of 40-45 degrees. Hot application stimulates the touch receptors and has a vasodilation effect. Thermoreceptors in the foot are stimulated by applying heat to the feet, and this stimulation is thought to be effective in reducing the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and thus reducing pain.
