Sponsor's own description

Postpartum fatigue is common in women after cesarean section and it affects the woman and the baby. Many noninvasive applications help to overcome this problem. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of acupressure on postpartum fatigue in women who had a cesarean section. The research will be carried out between August 2021 and August 2022 with mothers who have had a cesarean section at Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital. The research will be carried out with two groups as acupressure and control group. The sample number was calculated using the G\*Power 3.1.9.2 program and the acupressure group: 60 and the control group: 60. In order to increase the analysis power, the number of people for each group was taken as 65 (n=130). It is planned to collect the data with the Descriptive Information Form and the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue. Acupressure will be applied to the mothers in the acupressure group once, once on the post-op day 0, twice on the post-op 1. day and once on the post-op 2. day, for a total of 4 times for six minutes, and no application will be made to the control group. Fatigue will be assessed with the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue before administration on post-op day 0 and after administration on post-op day 2. The data of the research will be evaluated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.0 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 will be used for normally distributed variables, and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed variables. Pearson Correlation test will be applied to determine the relationship between the fatigue severity of the experimental group and the tests and to determine the relationship between the tests. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05.
