This study was conducted to determine the effects of reflexology applied to mothers with headache due to spinal anesthesia after Cesarean delivery on pain, comfort and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels. The study, which was conducted with a single-blind, randomized controlled experimental design, was conducted between April 2024 and August 2024 at the Department of Obstetrics and Pediatrics, SBU Van Training and Research Hospital with mothers who had cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia and had postpartum headache (Intervention group=30, Control group=30). Foot reflexology was applied to the mothers in the intervention group for a total of 30 minutes, 15 minutes on each foot. The control group was not subjected to any intervention other than routine nursing practices. Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Postpartum Comfort Scale (PPSC) and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSSE) were used as data collection tools.
