Detailed Description

One of the frequently encountered problems in breastfeeding is insufficient lactation. Numerous integrative treatments support to overcome this problem.

This randomized controlled experimental study will conduct to determine the effect of acupressure on lactation in non-breastfeeding mothers following preterm caesarean delivery.

The sample of the study will comprise of 64 mothers (32 acupressure-experimental and 32 control group), who will randomly select from among the primipara mothers of premature newborns delivered through cesarean section at Dursun Odabaş Medical Center of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University. Before the implementation, the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale and the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale will apply. In post-operative three days, 15-minute acupressure will implement in the morning/evening, for acupressure-group mothers and pump milking will apply; control group mothers will only milked in mornings and evenings. Lactation symptoms will evaluate with Visual Analog Scale and acupressure satisfaction with Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale, and milk quantities will record.
