Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• LATCH

  It was developed by Jensen and Wallace in 1994 in order to perform breastfeeding assessment objectively and systematically, to identify breastfeeding problems, to establish a common language among healthcare professionals and to be used in studies. It is similar to the apgar score system in terms of scoring method. This measurement tool consists of five assessment items. The word LATCH is a combination of the first letters of the English equivalents of these items.

  30 day

• Neonatal Stress Scale

  The neonatal stress scale developed by Ceylan and Bolışık consists of a total of 24 items in 3-point Likert type. The scale items include 8 subgroups including facial expression, body colour, respiration, activity level, comfort, muscle tone, extremities and posture and each subgroup is evaluated between 0-2 points in scoring. A minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 16 points are obtained from the scale. As the score increases, the stress level of the baby increases simultaneously.

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

Before starting the foot massage, the client is informed about the number, duration and time of the session. The average interview time with the patients in the experimental group will be 15-20 minutes. The first interview with the women in the experimental group will be held at any time after the birth when the woman feels well. Before the application, the researcher washes and dries her hands and warms them appropriately by massaging with baby oil and facilitates the process. First, a three-minute general massage is performed to prepare the feet, and then the correct points for each foot are massaged for 10 minutes. 'Introductory Information Form', "LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Measurement Tool", "Newborn Stress Scale" and "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)" forms will be filled. The woman's address and telephone details will be taken to meet again.
