Abstract

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of yoga nidra on pain, mobilization, first walking distance, and care satisfaction after cesarean section.
Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected between 01 October–28 December 2023. Sample of the study consisted of 128 women (yoga nidra: 64, control: 64) who gave birth by cesarean section. Women were randomly assigned to the groups as 1:1. The yoga nidra group received a 30-minute yoga nidra session before the first mobilization after cesarean section. Yoga nidra was not applied to the control group. The primary outcomes of the study were the mean scores of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Patient Mobility Scale (PMS), Observer Mobility Scale (OMS), and walking distance for mobilization, and Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale (NSNCS) for satisfaction.
Results: In the yoga nidra group, the mean VAS pain score and the mean scores of PMS, OMS and sub-dimensions decreased more, women's mobilisation processes were more positively affected, women's mean first walking distance and their satisfaction with nursing care increased more than the control group (p<.05).
Conclusion: Yoga nidra can be used safely by midwives and nurses in postpartum care practices.

Yoga nidranın sezaryen sonrası ağrı, mobilizasyon, ı̇lk yürüme mesafesı̇ ve bakım memnunı̇yeti üzerine etkı̇si: Randomize kontrollü deneysel araştırma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada yoga nidranın sezaryen sonrası ağrı, mobilizasyon, ilk yürüme mesafesi ve bakım memnuniyetine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu randomize kontrollü deneysel bir araştırmadır. Veriler 01 Ekim-28 Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini sezaryen ile doğum yapan 128 kadın (yoga nidra: 64, kontrol: 64) oluşturmaktadır. Kadınlar gruplara rastgele 1:1 olarak atanmıştır. Yoga nidra grubuna sezaryen sonrası ilk mobilizasyondan önce 30 dakikalık yoga nidra seansı bir kez uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubuna yoga nidra uygulanmamıştır. Çalışmanın birincil sonuçları ağrı için Görsel Analog Skalası (VAS), mobilizasyon için Hasta Mobilite Skalası (PMS), Gözlemci Mobilite Skalası (OMS) ve yürüme mesafesi ve memnuniyet için Newcastle Hemşirelik Bakımından Memnuniyet Ölçeği (NSNCS) puan ortalamalarıdır.
Bulgular: Yoga nidra grubunda kontrol grubuna göre ortalama VAS ağrı skoru ile PMS, OMS ve alt boyut ortalama skorlarının daha fazla azaldığı, kadınların mobilizasyon süreçlerinin daha olumlu etkilendiği, kadınların ortalama ilk yürüme mesafesi ve hemşirelik bakımından duydukları memnuniyetin daha fazla arttığı belirlenmiştir (p<.05).
Sonuçlar: Yoga nidra doğum sonrası bakım uygulamalarında ebe ve hemşireler tarafından güvenle kullanılabilir.
