Sponsor: KTO Karatay University
Summary
This study is to assess the impact of sanitary pads infused with active oxygen and negative ions on episiotomy pain, wound healing, and postpartum physical symptoms in primiparous women. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group, utilizing active oxygen and negative ion pads, or the control group, employing normal postpartum pads. The research will assess pain intensity, recovery advancement, and physical manifestations during the initial postpartum phase. The objective is to ascertain if the intervention offers supplementary advantages relative to usual care.
