Abstract
A study to assess the effectiveness of vacuum bottle extraction among postnatal mothers with breast engorgement in selected hospitals at KanyaKumari district, was conducted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing, Christian College of Nursing, Neyyoor, which is affiliated to Dr. M.G.R. University, Chennai during the year 2009-2011. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of breast engorgement among postnatal mothers before vacuum bottle extraction. 2. To determine the effectiveness of vacuum bottle extraction among postnatal mothers with breast engorgement. 3. To associate the level of pain before application of vacuum bottle with selected demographic variables such as age, education, religion, type of family, parity, type of delivery and frequency of feeding. 4. To associate the level of breast engorgement before application of vacuum bottle with selected demographic variables such as age, education, religion ,type of family, parity, type of delivery and frequency of feeding. A quasi-experimental one group pre -test and post- test design were used for this study. The conceptual framework used for this study was based on Callista Roy’s adaptation model. The samples were selected by convenience sampling. The samples for the study were 30 postnatal mothers. The tool used for the data collection comprised of 3 sections • Demographic variables, • Visual analog pain scale, • Breast engorgement check list, The content validity and pilot study were done to find out the feasibility of the study. Data collections were done for 6 weeks. Based on objectives and hypothesis, the collected data were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: • Among 30 samples, 43.3% (13) of them were in the age group of 20-24 years. • In the present study the majority of samples, 73.3 %( 22) belong to nuclear family. • This study denotes majority of samples, 73.3% (22) were Primi Para mothers. • In the association between the level of pain and selected demographic variables such as age, education, religion, type of family & frequency of feeding have no significant association. • In the association between the level of Pain and selected Demographic, variables such as parity and type of delivery have significant association. • In the association between the level of breast engorgement and selected demographic variables such as age, education, religion, type of family, type of Delivery and frequency of feeding has no significant association. • There was a significant association between parity and level of breast engorgement. COMPARISON OF GROUP BEFORE AND AFTER VACUUM BOTTLE EXTRACTION: • The difference of Pre and Post test breast engorgement mean sore was 4.5 and the differences was statistically significant (paired ‘t’ = 21.468, d.f=29,p<0.01) • The difference of Pre and Post test pain mean score was 3.6 and the difference was statistically significant (paired‘t’ = 26.492, d.f=29,p<0.01). RECOMMENDATIONS: The previous reviews and the present study indicate the vacuum bottle extraction was the best option to reduce the breast engorgement since it has no side effects and non-invasive. Therefore, this study strongly recommended using vacuum bottle extraction to reduce breast engorgement among postnatal mothers. • A comparative study may be done between effectiveness of Vacuum bottle extraction and other pharmacological methods. • A comparative study may be done between effectiveness of Vacuum bottle extraction and other non-pharmacological methods. • Similar studies may be conducted in the early postnatal period. • Similar study may be conducted with a larger population. CONCLUSION: As for this research is concerned, the interventional study proved that there was a significant reduction of pain and breast engorgement among postnatal mothers. The difference of pre and post test breast engorgement’s means score was 4.5. The differences was statistically significant (paired‘t’ = 21.468 & p<0.01). The pain mean sore was 3.6 between pre and post test. The difference was statistically highly significant (t=26.492, p<0.01). Therefore the vacuum bottle extraction is very effective form of non pharmacological intervention to relieve pain and breast engorgement among post natal mothers as it is non invasive and no side effects. The findings of the present study agree with the findings of the previous clinical study, regarding vacuum bottle extraction.
