dc.description.abstract | Mothers after giving birth, will experience discomfort throughout the body and
post-delivery fatigue. This will inhibit the hormone oxytocin which plays a role in
the production and release of breast milk. Oxytocin massage is massage along the
spine to the fifth or sixth costae which functions to increase oxytocin, so that milk
can come out smoothly. The purpose of this senior practicum is to apply nursing
theories and concepts, especially maternity nursing in performing oxytocin
massage in nursing care for postpartum mothers after sectio caesarea. Nursing
care was carried out on July 3 2023 - July 29 2023 for three patients, namely
postpartum post SC mothers by doing oxytocin massage, non-pharmacological pain
management, and education to replace sleep deprivation. The results obtained after
nursing care were carried out, the three patients responded very well and
enthusiastically when given education and oxytocin massage. Patients and families
understand how to do oxytocin massage and its benefits, manage pain and manage
sleep deprivation by replacing it during the day. Education is provided to clients
and also their families to continue with oxytocin massage while at home so that
milk production remains smooth. | en_US |
