These mothers were shown the hot application they would make during the use of milking pumps, they were provided with the application and a brochure was given explaining the application. The hot chest compress to be used in this group will be used in the Lansinoh brand Thera°Pearl® Hot Breast Therapy pad, which is sold in medical medicines in pharmacies approved by the Ministry of Health.

These mothers were shown breast massage and hot application during the use of milking pumps, they were provided with their own application and a brochure was given explaining the application. The breast milk follow-up form, in which they will record the amounts of milk they milk, was explained by the researcher in the hospital and how to fill it out when they were discharged, and they were asked to fill out a last-day anxiety scale. In the study, a MANDELA type milking pump was used, which belongs to the hospital where the work was carried out to milk the mothers. The milking pump setting of the mothers who participated in the study was also adjusted to moderate level. Where the research was carried out : The research was carried out in the cesarean clinic of Ankara Etlik Zubeyde Women's Obstetrics and Gynecology Education and Research Hospital. Universe and Sampling of The Research: The universe of this research is made up of patients who meet the criteria for inclusion in the cesarean clinic at Ankara Etlik Zubeyde Women's Obstetrics and Gynecology Education and Research Hospital and who agree to participate in the research. The sample size required for the research question created to examine the reduction of anxiety by increasing the amount of milk of the mother of breast massage, hot compress, breast massage-hot compress application to premature baby was examined in groups of thirtysomethings. Accordingly, the sample size of 120 people was grouped as Massage group \[n=30\], Hot group \[n=30\], Massage and Hot group \[n=30\] and Control group\[n=30\] as individuals. Randomization of groups was carried out through the computer randomization program Random Allocation Software program. Data Evaluation: The analysis was conducted through the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 package program. When evaluating the study data, frequency (number, percentage) for categorical variables and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum) are given for numerical variables. The assumptions of normality of numerical variables by groups were examined by shapiro wilk normality test and it was observed that some variables were not distributed normally. Therefore, both parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were used in the study.The relationships between the two Independent categorical variables are interpreted by The Square analysis. Fisher Exact test results were used in cases where the expected value assumption was not provided in the Square analysis. The differences between more than two independent groups were looked at with the Kruskal Wallis test for variables that showed normal distribution, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) for variables that did not have normal distribution. The differences between the Dependent Sample T Test and more than two dependent numeric variables for variables with normal distribution between two dependent numeric variables were examined with Friedman's Analysis.The power of the work is calculated by the GPower package program. In the study, the effect width was found to be 0.62 and the strength of the study, which was completed with a total of 120 people including 30 massages, 30 hot applications, 30 massages and hot treatments and 30 controls, was found to be 80.1% at the 0.05 significant level. Statistical signation was interpreted as 0.05 in the analysis.
