“…It is common for women to lose their comfort after a cesarean delivery. Effects, such as pain due to the incision site after cesarean delivery, breastfeeding problems, abdominal tension and gas, cause a decrease in women's comfort after cesarean delivery 33 . In our study, TENS + PRE, TENS, and PRE applications significantly increased comfort after cesarean compared to the control group.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises (PRE) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation administered to women delivering via cesarean delivery on acute pain, breastfeeding success, and comfort levels.MethodsThis is a single‐blind, randomized controlled study. This study was carried out in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of a university hospital affiliated with the Ministry of Health in Turkey between August 20, 2018 and April 15, 2019. A total of 120 participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups, which included a transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS) group, a PRE group, a combined intervention group, and a control group. Data were collected with a Data Collection Form, The Visual Analogue Scale, The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Tool, and The Postpartum Comfort Scale.ResultsAccording to the findings of the study, it was determined that pain significantly decreased and comfort increased after having a cesarean delivery in all three intervention groups compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Regarding the breastfeeding success, while there was no statistically significant change in this behavior in the TENS group, it was significantly better in the PRE group and the combined intervention group, where TENS and PRE were administered together (p < 0.05).ConclusionsAccording to our study results, we recommend that TENS and PRE should be employed together after a cesarean delivery as safe non‐pharmacological methods in pain management, eliminating breastfeeding problems, and increasing comfort.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of primary and repeated cesarean births on breastfeeding success and maternal attachment level in postpartum women. The cross-sectional and comparative study sample consisted of 322 postpartum women who applied to a public hospital in eastern Turkey.Data were collected with the "Personal Information Form","LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool" and “Maternal Attachment Scale(MAS)".Descriptive statistics, independent group’s t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The average age of the puerperants with primary and repeat births included in the study was determined as 28.14±6.15, and 30.56±4.91, respectively.It was determined that the mean LATCH and MAS total scores of postpartum women who had primary cesarean delivery were lower than those of postpartum women who had repeated cesarean delivery,and the difference between them was statistically significant(p=0.000).It was found that there was a weak, positive relationship between the MAS and LATCH score averages of women who had primary and repeated cesarean deliveries, and as breastfeeding success increased, the level of attachment also increased. It was concluded that breastfeeding success and attachment levels were lower in primary cesarean births compared to repeated cesarean births,and as the breastfeeding success achieved in both groups increased,the level of attachment increased.
