Effectiveness Of Breast Crawl Technique On Intensity Of Episiotomy Suturing Pain Among Primi Mothers At Karpaga Vinayaga Institute Of Medical Sciences And Research Centre In Chengalpattu District

Abstract

“A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of breast crawl techniqueon intensity of episiotomy suturing pain among primi mothers at Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, in chengalpattu District”.

The objectives were, to evaluate the effectiveness of breast crawl techniqueon, to identify the effectiveness of breast crawl technique on intensity of episioto mysuturing pain among primi mothers, to associate the selected demographic and obstetrical variables intensity of episiotomy suturing pain among primimothers.

A randomized controlled trial with post test only design was chosen for thisstudy. By using purposive sampling technique a total of 60samples were includedfor the study. It consisted of 30 each in experimental and control group. Breast crawltechnique was implemented for experimental group participants along with routine care where as control group participants were only on routine care. Post test was donefor both experimental and control group participants. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis.

The results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between experimental and control group on intensityof episiotomy suturing pain at level p<0.001. These study findings implied that thesimple measure like breast crawl technique is easy to do and practice to reduce the intensity of episiotomy suturing pain among primi mothers.
