Brief Summary

It is known that maintaining and maintaining normal body temperature in women after cesarean section facilitates the mother's adaptation to the postpartum period. One of the important problems after cesarean section is hypothermia. Therefore, various methods are used to maintain normal body temperature. One of these methods is the use of electric blankets. This study will investigate the effect of using electric blankets after cesarean section on postpartum comfort, pain, milk quantity and breastfeeding success.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Postpartum comfort scale

  Postpartum comfort scale, consists of 34 items. A 5-point Likert type scale scoring system was used. For each item, expressions and scoring ranging from "completely agree" (5 points) to "strongly disagree" (1 point) were made. Accordingly, the lowest score to be obtained from the scale is 34 and the highest score is 170.

• A Tool to Evaluate the Amount of Breast Milk the Baby Receives

  It consists of 5 sections: urine amount, breast condition, stool amount, weight and satisfaction, and the features of each section are collected in 3 groups and evaluated out of 0, 1, 2 points. A full score of 10 was considered as the score where breast milk was obtained in the best possible way, and 7 and below were considered as the scores where the breast milk was obtained insufficiently.

Interventions

electric blankets OTHER

While the patient is in surgery; An electric blanket will be placed under the bed mattress, and the bed will be placed on the electric blanket. The bed sheet will be laid, and the blanket used in the clinic will be laid on top of the bed sheet. -The electric blanket will be turned on at "hot" setting 20 minutes before the patient leaves the surgery. After the mother is placed in a heated bed, the electric blanket will be unplugged when the temperature reaches 36.5.
