| pranayama breathing exercises | Behavioral | In this study, a pranayama breathing exercise protocol lasting approximately 14-15 minutes will be applied, aiming to increase relaxation and physiological well-being. Participants will prepare for the exercise in a supported and comfortable sitting position, breathing through the nose. The protocol consists of 3 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing, 5 minutes of alternate nostril breathing (Nadī Shodhana), 3 minutes of Ujjayi breathing, and 3 minutes of long, slow exhalation techniques. The exercises will be conducted with one-on-one guidance by a trained researcher; participants' comfort and any signs of discomfort will be monitored, and the exercise will be terminated if necessary. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline Post-Cesarean Postoperative Pain Intensity | Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-cm horizontal line where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst imaginable/unbearable pain." Higher scores indicate greater pain severity. Pain scores will be recorded at baseline (preoperative) and at predefined postoperative time points. The outcome measure is defined as the change in VAS pain score from baseline.Pain will be assessed with a 10 cm visual analog scale "0" means no pain and "10" means unbearable pain. The assessment will be done before and at the end of the study. | Pain assessments will be repeated at 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively in both groups. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Postnatal Comfort Level | Postnatal comfort will be assessed using the Postnatal Comfort Survey, a validated instrument designed to evaluate physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental comfort in the postpartum period. Higher scores indicate greater postnatal comfort. Accordingly, the lowest score that can be obtained on the scale is 34, and the highest score is 170. | Comfort assessments will be repeated at 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively in both groups. |
