Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pressure applied according to the principles of acupressure limits the pain limit, reduces the secretion of endorphins, which is a neurochemical, reduces the tension in the muscles, reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, and finally provides duration and relaxation. Acupressure application is becoming more and more common nowadays because it is a noninvasive, safe, easy-to-apply and effective method without side effects. It seems that there is a limit to the study in which group acupressure applications in the literature are examined together on pain and comfort after cesarean section. In these basic points, the expectations of achieving postpartum pain and postpartum comfort of acupressure applied after cesarean delivery in this study. The circle of the research; There will be women who will have repeated cesarean section in a private Obstetrics Clinic in Famagusta. Women will be separated from two groups, one group will continue acupressure and the other group will do routine care. Visual analog scale and end-of-birth comfort procedure will be applied to women before and after the application.

acupressure group

Women who are in acupressure will apply the application after cesarean section 2nd hour after applying the data collection forms (descriptive features formula, VAS, WHO). For women on acupressure, the application will be applied manually to the SP6, P6 and L14 points in the order indicated by the drawing with the index or middle finger, 1-1.5 cm depth for 5 seconds, pressing for 5 seconds, resting for 2 seconds and continuing for 2 minutes to go. will be with you. VAS will be filled again after the application.
