Kinesio taping gently stretches the skin and creates a gap between the dermis and fascia, increasing lymphatic and vascular flow and reducing pain without restricting movement. It is used to provide rehabilitation after surgical operations. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of kinesio taping on the mother's pain and comfort after cesarean section. It is planned to include 60 women who gave birth by cesarean section in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Şırnak State Hospital. Research data will be collected with the visual analog scale and postpartum comfort scale. If the data shows normal distribution, Unrelated Samples t Test, Related Samples t Test and Repeated Measures ANOVA (Repeated Measures) tests will be used.
