Brief Summary

A healthy postpartum period is important for the health of the mother and baby. One of the main problems that occur after cesarean section, which is a major surgical procedure, is pain. However, since the mother is in the postpartum period, she may have problems in her own care, healing process and baby care due to pain. Non-pharmacological treatment is methods such as massage, acupressure, hot and cold application that can be applied at birth to support scientific medicine. The cold application examined in our research, is among these applications. participants will be determined by the block randomization method. Cold application will be applied to the cesarean section site of the patient for 10 minutes in the experimental group, followed by a break of 20 minutes, followed by a 10-minute application, and immediately after the application, the patient will stand up. Only the routine practice of the clinic will be applied to the control group. Data; will be collected using the introductory information form, visual analog scale (VAS) and cold application satisfaction evaluation form. When the studies were examined, no other study was found in the same application as our study. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of cold application on the patient's pain during the first leg, the need for painkillers and satisfaction, due to the higher first take-off pain after cesarean section.
