Cesarean Birth, Patient Education
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of individual education given after cesarean section on the levels of pain and anxiety in women in the postoperative period. The research is a randomized controlled trial with an experimental design, featuring a pre-test-post-test control design with experimental and control groups. The study will be conducted at Çorlu State Hospital. Data will be collected by conducting a pre-test within the first 6-12 hours after cesarean section, followed by education, and then a post-test before discharge (24-48 hours later). The Demographic Information Form, Knowledge Test, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Visual Analog Scale will be used to collect data.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): | 12 weeks | Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): The state anxiety inventory determines how a person feels at a specific time. The scale is answered on a scale of "1 (none), 2 (somewhat), 3 (a lot), 4 (completely)" according to the intensity of the individual's feelings at that moment. The trait anxiety inventory, on the other hand, determines how the individual generally feels and is answered on a scale of "1 (almost never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (most of the time), 4 (always)". The state anxiety scale has 10 reverse items, and the trait anxiety scale has 7 reverse items. To calculate the scale score, the total score obtained from the direct items is subtracted from the total score obtained from the reverse items. A constant value of 50 for the state anxiety scale and 35 for the trait anxiety scale is added to the resulting number. The possible score ranges from 20 to 80. The average score is between 36 and 41. As the score increases, the level of anxiety also increases. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | 12 weeks | The VAS is used to convert certain values that cannot be measured quantitatively into numerical values. It is a 10 cm scale with pain-free resolution at one end and the most severe pain possible at the other. In the VAS, which evaluates pain intensity, pain intensity is rated on a scale of 0 to 10. "No pain" is rated as 0 points and "very severe pain" is rated as 10 points. Pain intensity is indicated as "less than 3 points" for mild pain, "between 3-6 points" for moderate pain, and "more than 6 points" for severe pain. |
