Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the added effect of Mitchell relaxation with analgesics in reducing pain during functional activities after caesarean section. Women after caesarean section experience pain due to operative trauma in bed mobility, sit-stand, walking till few days. Pain management can be done pharmacological and non pharmacological. The Mitchell Relaxation technique is non pharmacological management for pain reduction. This was an experimental study with pre and post test design, randomly assign, two group study was conducted in BSTRH..Post caesarean section primigravida women who met inclusion criteria were assigned to either experimental (n=30) or control group (n=30). Women in the experimental group received Mitchell relaxation technique with analgesics and those in the control group were managed only with analgesic. The outcome measure was a patient specific functional scale in which bed mobility, sit-stand, walking where they painful functional activities. Pre values were taken prior to medication on 2nd post partum day and post values were taken on 4th post partum day after 2 hours of medications. Statistical analysis was done and the difference between the pre and post values of the experimental group was more significant than the control group.The study shows that added effect of Mitchell relaxation with analgesics is more efficient in the reduction of pain during functional activities in women after caesarean section.
