    Giving side position with patient turning and movement system

    On the day she was admitted to the clinic, the pregnant woman was taken to the room with the turning and movement system, the system was introduced and the personal information form was filled. When she came to the clinic from the operating room, the puerperant was placed on the bed with the turning and motion system (side position) and a follow-up form for LATCH, GKO and Lactogenesis Free symptoms was filled in the first three breastfeedings. Before discharge, LATCH, GCS, and Lactogenesis symptoms follow-up forms were filled in the last three breastfeedings. WHO was filled 1-2 hours before discharge.

    It is a randomized study planned as a research. The sample of the study consists of postpartum women (75 experimental group, 75 control group) who had cesarean section. Breastfeeding success of postpartum women was evaluated with the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation tool. This scale consists of five evaluation criteria (L:Latch on the brest, A: Audible Swallowing, T: Type of Nipple, C:Comfort of Breast/ Nipple, H: Hold/ Position). Each item is evaluated between 0-2 points. The scale has no breakpoints. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 10 and the lowest score is 0. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates the success of breastfeeding.

    Time frame: two day

  2. The Effect of Turning and Movement System on Breastfeeding Success, Pain and Comfort in Postpartum Cesarean Section

    Postpartum pain was assessed with the Visual Comparison Scale. Painlessness on one head and the most severe pain on the other side were evaluated with a 10 cm ruler. An increase in the scale score indicates an increase in the severity of pain.
