Brief Summary

In the literature, there are separate studies on massage, comfort, anxiety, and physiological parameters for massage practice, but there are no studies that measure the physiological parameters of comfort, pain, anxiety, blood pressure, pulse, fever, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate in the early postpartum period. In this study, the effect of back massage applied to mothers in the early postpartum period on comfort, pain, anxiety and physiological parameters will be examined. If it is determined that the massage application, which is easy to apply and effective, has a positive effect on physiological parameters such as comfort, pain, anxiety and blood pressure, pulse, fever, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, as well as other parameters measured in the postpartum period, it can be used in the field of application. This is where the originality of our work comes from. For this reason, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postpartum Comfort Scale

  Postpartum Comfort Scale consists of 34 items and is a 5-point Likert type. For each item, wording and scoring ranging from "completely agree" (5 points) to "strongly disagree" (1 point) were used. Accordingly, the lowest score from the scale can be 34 and the highest score can be 170. Positive expressions in the scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 31, 32) are coded as 1: I strongly disagree - 5: I completely agree. In the negative items (4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12,13, 16, 17, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33, 34), it is reversed as "I totally disagree, 5 I totally agree, 1". coded. The average value is determined by dividing the total score obtained from the scale by the number of items and the result is shown in the 1-5 distribution. Basically, low comfort is expressed as 1 and high comfort is expressed as 5.

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Massage will be applied to the intervention group by the researcher who has received training in classical massage techniques and has a certificate. The massage will start with effusion (stroking) and will end with effleurage (stroking). Baby oil will be used during the massage in order to provide slipperiness and to prevent mothers and babies from being affected by the smell. The oil used will be spread on the back by patting. The massage will last 20 minutes. Post-test data will be obtained by re-filling the forms after 3 hours (6 hours after Normal Birth) for the intervention group to whom massage is applied.

Other: massage

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention will be made to the control group, and the routine nursing practices of the clinic will continue. Pre-test and post-test will be applied.

Interventions

massage OTHER

Massage application; It will be done on the back, which is the five basic massage areas. Massage application will be started with eflorage. The massage will be continued with petrissage by grasping the subcutaneous tissue and muscle layer with the help of thumb and other fingers, starting from the waist circumference. Petrissage will be applied for 5 minutes. After petrissage, the massage was continued with friction movements, which is the other stage. Friction will be applied for 5 minutes. Tapotment will be done after friction. Tapotman will take 5 minutes. After taping, the entire back area will be finished by efflorescence for 2 minutes, just like at the beginning.
