Özet

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nursing care based on comfort theory on women's postpartum comfort levels after C-sections. METHODS: A quasi-experimental design was used. The sample comprised 100 women who had C-sections (50 experimental, 50 control). RESULTS: A total of 27 nursing diagnoses were determined. The physical (p = .000), psychospiritual (p = .249), and sociocultural (p = .001) subdimension mean scores on the Postpartum Comfort Scale were higher in the experimental group than they were in the control group. The mean total scores on the Postpartum Comfort Scale were 138.70 +/- 8.79 in the experimental group and 131.06 +/- 9.30 in the control group (p = .000). CONCLUSION: Nursing care based on comfort theory for women having C-sections met their comfort needs and increased their postpartum comfort levels. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: It is recommended that nursing care outcomes be compared using different nursing models.
