|---|---|---|---|---|
| mental simulation | Behavioral | Audio recordings with a mental simulation. The women listened to the text using headphones about 10-15 min before verticalization (5 h after arrival in the postoperative room, about 6 h after anesthesia). In each group, the mental training lasted for about 10 min. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| willingness to verticalize | Percentage of women who were willing to verticalize after listening to the recording. Assessed on a on a six-point scale. | Immediately after a single mental simulation |
| verticalization | Percentage of the success of verticalization after listening to the recording. | Immediately after a single mental simulation |
| duration of the first mobilization | Time form the start of the measurement was set at getting out of bed from a sitting position, and the end of the measurement was set at the patient's return to bed. | Immediately after a single mental simulation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| pain level | The average pain she experienced during upright standing. Measured with a 10-point numerical rating scale. | 3 time points (before and immediately after a single mental simulation, and immediately after verticalization. |
