The Effect of Back Massage Applied to Mothers in the Early Postpartum Period on Parameters

In the literature, there are separate studies on massage, comfort, anxiety, and physiological parameters for massage practice, but there are no studies that measure the physiological parameters of comfort, pain, anxiety, blood pressure, pulse, fever, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate in the early postpartum period. In this study, the effect of back massage applied to mothers in the early postpartum period on comfort, pain, anxiety and physiological parameters will be examined. If it is determined that the massage application, which is easy to apply and effective, has a positive effect on physiological parameters such as comfort, pain, anxiety and blood pressure, pulse, fever, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, as well as other parameters measured in the postpartum period, it can be used in the field of application. This is where the originality of our work comes from. For this reason, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with this study.
