The Effect of Two Methods Applied to Mothers on Insufficient Milk Perception, Breastfeeding Motivation, Fatigue, Anxiety
Sponsor: Ordu University
Summary
Although the World Health Organization predicts the caesarean section rate to be 10-15%, the caesarean section rate in Turkey is 52%, more than three times the international standard. It is very important to eliminate the physical and psychosocial problems experienced by women during this period, to encourage breastfeeding, and at the same time to protect and improve maternal health. Maintaining the mother's well-being after cesarean section and supporting pharmacological treatment with non-pharmacological practices have an important place in nursing care. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of oxytocin massage and reflexology applied to mothers in the post-cesarean period on the perception of insufficient milk, breastfeeding motivation, fatigue, anxiety and uterine involution.

Oxycotin Massage Group
Primiparous women will be visited 12 hours after cesarean delivery, women will be informed, verbal and written consent will be obtained from women who want to participate in the study, and pre-test data will be collected by the researcher. The pre-test data of the research were it will be collected by face-to-face interview technique in approximately 25 minutes. The height of the fundus part of the uterus will be measured with a tape measure. The woman's physiological parameters will be measured by the researcher. At this stage, the patient will receive an oxytocin massage for 10 minutes while in a sitting position. One hour after the application (13th hour after cesarean section), the physiological parameters of the patients will be measured again by the researcher. 24 hours after the application (36 hours after cesarean section), the data of the patients will be collected again by the researcher and uterine involution and physiological parameters will be evaluated.
Reflexology Group
Primiparous women will be visited 12 hours after cesarean delivery, women will be informed women who want to participate in the study, and pre-test data will be collected. The pre-test data of the research were it will be collectedapproximately 25 minutes. The height of the fundus part of the uterus will be measured with a tape measure. The woman's physiological parameters will be measured. In practice; The foot is first relaxed and warmed up with passive movements, then the sole of the foot is scanned with the thumb walking crawling technique. The application will be applied first to the right foot for 10 minutes and then to the left foot for a total of 20 minutes. One hour after the application (13th hour after cesarean section), the physiological parameters of the patients will be measured again. 24 hours after the application (36 hours after cesarean section), the data of the patients will be collected again and uterine involution and physiological parameters will be evaluated.
Control Group
Primiparous women will be visited 12 hours after cesarean delivery, women will be informed, verbal and written consent will be obtained from women who want to participate in the study, and pre-test data will be collected by the researcher. The pre-test data of the research were it will be collected by face-to-face interview technique in approximately 25 minutes. The height of the fundus part of the uterus will be measured with a tape measure. The woman's physiological parameters will be measured by the researcher. Patients in the control group will not undergo any intervention and will receive their routine care. One hour after the application (13th hour after cesarean section), the physiological parameters of the patients will be measured again by the researcher. 24 hours after the application (36 hours after cesarean section), the data of the patients will be collected again by the researcher and uterine involution and physiological parameters will be evaluated.
