Effects of Body Mechanics Training on Shoulder-Back Pain and Breastfeeding Ergonomics in Breastfeeding Mothers
Sponsor: Ege University
Summary
The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial and mothers in the intervention group will receive training on posture correction,breastfeeding positions, and shoulder and back muscle strengthening movements. If you agree to participate in this study, you will first be asked to fill out a form regarding your demographic information and health history.Then, the following scales will be applied to evaluate breastfeeding ergonomics, shoulder-back pain, and musculoskeletal system functions:Demographic and Health Data Form, Breastfeeding Ergonomics Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain Assessment,Low Back Pain Function Scale, and Neck Disability Indicator Questionnaire. Mothers in the intervention group will receive training on body mechanics including posture awareness,breastfeeding positions, and shoulder and back muscle strengthening movements.The training will be conducted in the hospital and at 6 weeks and 3 months after discharge

Randomization: The "Demographic and Health Data Form" will be applied to the participants by the researcher responsible for randomization, and the information obtained will be kept in consecutively numbered, closed, opaque envelopes. The block randomization method will be used when dividing the participants into intervention and control groups. In order to ensure balance in important demographic and health-related variables, the participants will be randomized by stratifying them according to age. The person responsible for collecting the study data will be unaware of the randomization process until the researcher responsible for randomization reports the results. Intervention group: After the initial data collection, the breastfeeding behaviors of the mothers in the intervention group will be observed. Then, the mothers will be given training on ergonomic breastfeeding, correct breastfeeding positions and body mechanics to strengthen the musculoskeletal system during the breas
to inform
Kontrol grubundaki anneler, hastanenin rutin bakım hizmetleri kapsamında emzirme danışmanı ebe tarafından verilen bilgilendirme ve destek hizmetlerinden yararlanacaklardır. Ayrıca bu anneler için emzirme döneminde doğru duruş ve emzirme pozisyonlarında dikkat edilmesi gereken durumlar konusunda bir broşür hazırlanacak ve kendilerine verilecektir. Kontrol grubunun izlem verilerinin telefon görüşmesi yöntemi ile toplanacağı belirtilerek bir görüşme-izlem planı anne ile birlikte oluşturulacaktır. Kontrol grubundaki anneler müdahale grubu ile eşzamanlı olarak doğum sonu 6. Hafta ve 3.aylarda aranarak sırt ve boyun ağrıları değerlendirilecektir.
