Sponsor's own description

Primiparous mothers after cesarean section often encounter insufficient milk production during breastfeeding. This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of acupressure and back massage on lactation in cesarean deliveries. The research will be carried out between July 2021 and July 2023 with mothers who had a cesarean section at Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital and Health Sciences University Derince Training and Research Hospital. The research will be carried out with three groups as acupressure, back massage and control group. The sample number was calculated using the G\*Power 3.1.9.2 program and the acupressure group: 24, the back massage group: 24, and the control group: 24. In order to increase the analysis power, the number of samples was increased by 25% and n=30 for each group (acupressure group: 30, back massage group: 30, and control group: 30). It is planned to collect the data with the Introductory Information Form, the Newborn Follow-up Form, the Mother's Follow-up Form, and the Visual Analogue Scale by which the Mothers Evaluate Lactation Onset Symptoms. The mothers will be given acupressure 4 minutes acupressure group, back massage group 3 minutes back massage, and no application will be made to the control group, once in the post-op 0th day, 2 times in the post-op 1st day and once in the post-op 2nd day. 15 minutes after the applications, the baby will be weighed while hungry and will be breastfed under the control of the researcher. Babies will be weighed again after breastfeeding. The data of the research will be evaluated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20.0 program. In the evaluation of the data; descriptive statistics will be given as percentage, arithmetic mean±standard deviation, median and minimum-maximum values, independent two-sample t-test for normally distributed variables and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables. Repeated measure covariance analysis will be applied to reveal the difference between the milk amounts of the mothers between the groups. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05.
