Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of hot water foot bath applied in the early period after cesarean section on pain, fatigue and gas release.The sample of the research consisted of 80 women who gave birth by cesarean section. 'Descriptive Information Form', 'Numerical Rating Scale', 'Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue', 'Experimental Group Patient Follow-up Form', 'Control Group Patient Follow-up Form' were used as data collection tools. It was determined that the hot water foot bath applied in the early period after cesarean section reduced the level of pain and fatigue, and had no effect on gas release.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• The numerical rating scale (NRS)

  It is a frequently preferred scale because it is thought to be easy to apply. With this scale, the patient's pain is explained with numerical values. Pain severity assessment in numerical scales is applied as a rating starting with "0" and up to "10" level. Here, "0" means no pain, "10" means unbearable pain. In this assessment scale, the patient is asked to express the level of pain he/she feels at that moment with numbers.

  at the 3rd hour after cesarean section before hot water foot bath application

• The numerical rating scale (NRS)

  It is a frequently preferred scale because it is thought to be easy to apply. With this scale, the patient's pain is explained with numerical values. Pain severity assessment in numerical scales is applied as a rating starting with "0" and up to "10" level. Here, "0" means no pain, "10" means unbearable pain. In this assessment scale, the patient is asked to express the level of pain he/she feels at that moment with numbers.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

A 15 minutes hot water foot bath was applied to the experimental group patients 3 hours after the cesarean section.Data collection tools were applied at the 5th minute, 1st hour and 2nd hour after the hot water footbath and the gas output was questioned.

Other: Hot water foot bath

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group was given routine post-cesarean care without any intervention and data collection tools were applied at the same time as the experimental group.

Interventions

Hot water foot bath OTHER

A 15 minutes hot water foot bath was applied to the experimental group patients 3 hours after the cesarean section.
