The control group did not receive any treatment. Only Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Inventory and Surgical Fear Scale were applied (pre-test, post-test)

Women who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study and were provided emotional support were administered the Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Inventory and Surgical Fear Scale via face-to-face interview method on the first day of their hospitalization before the caesarean section (pre-test).

The Surgical Fear Scale, consisting of eight questions, is an 11-point Likert-type scale and is scored between 0 and 10. It consists of two sub-dimensions measuring short-term fears (items 1-4) and long-term fears (items 5-8) regarding the source of fear. The items in the scale are evaluated as "0: I am not afraid at all" and "10: I am very afraid". Increasing scores indicate increasing fear.

The inventory consists of four-degree evaluations ranging from "Not at all" to "Completely" in the Likert type. There are 20 items in the inventory, and the individual is required to define how he/she feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, and to respond by taking into account his/her feelings about the situation he/she is in. High scores indicate high anxiety levels, and low scores indicate low anxiety levels.

The scale is graded as 0-10 cm long, with 0=no pain, 10=the most severe pain. It is applied by the individual marking a point corresponding to the level of pain they feel. The distance between the determined point and the lowest part of the line is evaluated in centimeters. The value found indicates the patient's pain level.
