Brief summary

The effect of yoga nidra on pain, mobilisation, first walking distance and maternal satisfaction after caesarean section

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of yoga nidra on pain, mobilisation, first walking distance and maternal satisfaction after caesarean section. Sample size: * The sample size is 128 women. * The sample will include 64 mothers in the experimental group and 64 mothers in the control group. Application time: * Yoga nidra will be performed once in the sixth postoperative hour after caesarean section. * Yoga nidra will be carried out once for each mother by the researcher Ayşegül Kılıçlı. * The application will take 30 minutes. * Only yoga nidra will not be applied to the control group. Other measurements and follow-ups will be carried out in parallel as in the experimental group. Data collection tools: * Introductory Information Form * Visual Analogue Scale for Pain * Patient Mobility Scale and Observer Mobility Scale * Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale * Note: Mobilisation distance will be measured with a metre. Measurement time: * Introductory Information Form will be filled out before application. * Pain level will be measured immediately before the application. * immediately after the application pain, mobilisation, first walking distance and maternal satisfaction will be measured.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALyoga nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique that involves listening to audio readings. Yoga nidra application will be started at the 6th postoperative hour and will be applied one time. Yoga nidra is expressed as yoga sleep or deep relaxation. In this practice, it will be ensured that the mother will mentally visualise all parts of her body with the commands to be given during controlled breathing and emotionally feel the body parts. The Yoga Nidra application will last 30 minutes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cesarean Painimmediately before yoga nidra applicationVisual Analogue Scale for Pain; It scores between 0 and 10, and the higher the score, the greater the pain.
Patient Mobilizationimmediately after yoga nidra applicationPatient Mobility Scale; The lowest and highest score that can be obtained from each item is between 0-15, and the total score is between 0-120. An increase in scale scores for the question answers in the study indicates an increase in pain and stiffness related to activity.
Observer Mobilizationimmediately after yoga nidra applicationObserver Mobility Scale; The lowest and highest score that can be obtained from each item of the scale is between 1-5, and the total score is between 4-20. An increase in the score indicates insufficient mobility.
Patient Satisfactionimmediately after yoga nidra applicationNewcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale
Walking distanceimmediately after yoga nidra applicationThe first walking distance of the mothers will be measured with a meter.
