Abstract BACKGROUND: Women who had a cesarean section makes mothers positioning the baby for nursing more painful. The clutch-hold is a great hold for post cesarean nursing as the baby is not against the incision at all; the baby should rest on a pillow and be held along the side.
METHODOLOGY: A Quasi experimental- Time series nonequivalent control group research design was used to assess the effectiveness of clutch hold method of breastfeeding on comfort level of post cesarean mothers admitted in Shri Vinoba Bhave Civil Hospital, Silvassa. Total 60 mothers were assessed 30 in experimental and 30 in control group. The intervention was given every 2 hourly for duration of 8 hours for 2 days. Data was collected by using comfort assessment tool and numeric pain rating scale.
RESULT: In present study shows that effectiveness of clutch hold method of breastfeeding by repeated measures of ANOVA test in experimental group for comfort and pain level f value was 274.11(df=7), 454.19(df=7), and p value is <0.05 level of significance for comfort and pain level. Effectiveness by unpaired t test in 1st to 8th observations for comfort level (t=12.75, 13.41, 10.26, 11.33, 10.84, 17.99, 21.04, 21.87; p< 0.001) and for pain level (t=3.41, 6.65, 7.33, 10.03, 13.41, 13.25, 13.37, 14.65, p< 0.001). So calculated value of ‘t’ at various observations are very much higher than the table value T58= 2.00, at p<0.05 in comfort and pain level. Hence research hypothesis is accepted and inferred that clutch hold method of breastfeeding is effective in increase the comfort while breastfeeding after caesarean section.
CONCLUSION: The study clutch hold method of breastfeeding after cesarean section is a safe, easy and effective method for increasing the level of comfort. Here mothers require more guidance and support for using clutch hold method of breastfeeding as most mothers don’t know about this method.
