The Effect of Post-Cesarean Section Acupressure on the Severity of Pain and First Mobilization Distance

The experimental group will start with LI4 points, and continue with P6 and SP6 points. The application will be carried out by determining the priority order of the points with the draw. Attention will be paid to the intensity and duration of the pressure deemed appropriate. Since the individuals' responses will differ, the stiffness and pressure will be adjusted according to the individual's sensitivity not to cause tissue damage. Before starting the application, around the area to be pressed for 20-30 seconds will be gently rubbed with palm. With the gentle rubbing of the surrounding tissue, the tension and tissue sensitivity in warming, relaxing and preparatory will be reduced, and the tissue will be relieved. After, the point determined will be pressed manually for 2 minutes.

In the control group, the application will start with the points 1.5 cm around the LI4, P6 and SP6 points. The application process will continue in the same way with acupressure group and the pressure intensity will be less.
