  • Abstract:
  • INTRODUCTION: Giving birth to a new life is the most painful experience in a woman’s life. After caesarean section, women reported Very High Levels of pain during the first 24 hours and most of them experience intense pain even after taking analgesics. Benson’s relaxation therapy is a simple and most effective way of relaxation. It is easy to follow and doesn’t need any assistance hence can be implemented in post caesarean mothers. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation technique on level of pain among post-caesarean mothers admitted at selected hospitals of Tirunelveli district. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the level of pain among post caesarean mothers. To determine the effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation technique on level of pain among post caesarean mothers. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: A quantitative approach with quasi experimental non-equivalent control group pretest post-test design was adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation technique on level of pain among post-caesarean mothers admitted at selected hospitals in Tirunelveli. The total number of samples selected was 60 (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group) by purposive sampling technique following inclusion, exclusion criteria. Chi-square test was used to find the association between the post-test level of pain among post caesarean mothers and selected demographic and obstetrical variables. FINDINGS: The data collected were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that in experimental group pretest mean score was 32.17 4.302 and the post-test mean score was 8.15 4.794. The mean pain reduction level was and the calculated test value is 20.04, which is higher than the table value 3.396 at p>0.001. Hence, the test was significant at the level of p>0.001. Hence, the findings indicated that after administering Benson’s relaxation technique in experimental group, there is significant decrease in level of pain Hence H1 hypothesis was accepted. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that Benson’s relaxation technique was much effective in reducing the level of pain among the post caesarean mothers.
