Nonpharmacological Method for Relief of Uterine Pain

A suitable environment will be prepared for mothers in terms of warmth and light, where privacy can be protected. The application points will be determined with the acu-point device by choosing the most comfortable position of the mother, leaving the application points open. The most preferred points LI4 and SP6 were selected among the points that were reported to be effective in relieving luterus pain by scanning the literature on the points to be compressed. Acupressure will be applied to the points (bidirectional, right and left) for 2 minutes, for a total of 8 minutes. Light pressure will be applied with the thumb of the practitioner's hand. Immediately after applying pressure for 2 minutes for each point, it is passed to the other point in the symmetrical region and the application is made without interruption. While practicing, the researcher will check the time using a digital wristwatch with a stopwatch.

No application will be made. The mothers in this group will fill in the visual analog scale, which evaluates postpartum uterine pain 3 times between 6-24 hours after birth.
