Abstract
A study to compare the effectiveness of cabbage leaves Vs jasmine flowers on breast engorgement and pain among postnatal mothers in selected hospital at Kanyakumari District. The Study was conducted at PPK hospital in Marthandam at Kanyakumari District. Permission was obtained from the medical superintended of the hospital before data collection. The objective of the study was explained to the Medical officer, other paramedical professionals and subjects to get their cooperation during the study. Oral consent was obtained from all subjects. This was a quasi experimental study design, 60 subjects were selected on the basis of convenience sampling technique. 30 of them were in Experimental Group I and 30 of them were in Experimental Group II. Demographic profile of each subject was recorded in validated subject data sheet. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, Pretest was done for 30 mothers in experimental group I by assessing the level of breast engorgement through observational check list and 6 point breast engorgement scale. The level of pain was assessed using visual analogue scale. For experimental group I one to two cabbage leaves were applied over the breast for 30 minutes with 8 hours interval for 2 consecutive days. Post test was done for this group at the completion of intervention. On completion of first phase, Pretest was done for 30 mothers in experimental group II and then fifty cm of strings of jasmine flowers was applied over the breast for 30 minutes with 8 hours interval for 2 consecutive days. Similarly the post test was done for experimental group II. The date was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. There was a significant difference (P <0.05) on level of breast engorgement and pain between experimental group I and II. The mean post test score of breast engorgement among experimental group I was 1.8(±1.73), whereas in Experimental group II it was 6.53(± 3.47). The mean post test score of pain among experimental group I was 0.67 (± 0.69), whereas in Experimental group II it was 3.23(± 0.49). There was a significant association between level of breast engorgement and pain with age, type of gravid, postnatal day and type of delivery of experimental group II. The findings of the study shows that cabbage leaves are more effective than Jasmine flower on breast engorgement and pain among postnatal mothers.
