Abstract
This one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effectiveness of cold compress belly band on cesarean incision pain level and satisfaction toward the use of cold compress belly band among mothers in the post-operative period of cesarean section. A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 25 post-cesarean section delivered mothers, postpartum unit, Naradhiwasrajanagarindra hospital. The sample received cold compress belly band after 8 hours of post-cesarean section. A demographic record form, a numeric pain rating scale, and questionnaire mothers’ satisfaction toward the use of cold compress belly band were administered. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and repeated measure one-way ANOVA.
The result showed that mean scores of pain were significantly different between pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 4, 8, 12 and 16 hours after using cold compress belly band (p<.001). Also mean scores of pain reduced significantly at different time-points. Mothers reported high satisfaction towards using cold compress belly band. The findings suggest that nurse can apply cold compress belly band along with routine pain medication to increase effectiveness of pain management for post-cesarean section delivered mothers.
