A Quasi-Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Kegel Exercise and Prone Position on Involution of Uterus Among Post Natal Mothers Admitted in Selected Hospital, Bhilai (C.G.)

Abstract

Postnatal exercise should be started as soon after delivery as possible in order to improve circulation, strengthen pelvic floor and abdominal muscles and prevent transient and long-term problems. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the kegel exercise and prone position on involution of uterus among postnatal mothers. The objectives were to assess the pre-test and post-test score of involutions of uterus among postnatal mothers in experimental and control group. To determine the effectiveness of kegel exercise and prone position on involution of uterus among postnatal mothers in experimental group. To compare the effectiveness of kegel exercise and prone position on involution of uterus among postnatal mothers in experimental and control group. To find an association between pre-test score of involutions of uterus among postnatal mothers with their selected demographic and obstetric variables. Methods: The study was conducted sample size for the study will comprise of 60 postnatal mothers. Out of which, 30 will be in experimental group and 30 in control group, Quantitative research approach will be adopted for present study, Quasi experimental Research design was adopted in this study with an experimental and control group. Sampling technique: Non-probability purposive sampling will be used to select the samples. Results: The study result shows that The obtained data from the experimental group total mean 78 and mean percentage is 3.33%, standard deviation is 0.61 whereas in control group total means 46, mean percentage 3.32, standard deviation is 0.725, and “t” test value is 6.29 which is more than table value (2.00) at p>0.05 level of significance at Df=58, it was highly significant. which shows that the intervention was very effective. In order to establish the reliability of the tool it was administered to post-natal Mothers reliability and it was calculated by using Karl Pearson, to test the reliability of the tool (r=0.85) the reliability of the tool was established the tool was found to be statistically reliable for the study. Conclusion: Subinvolution is a major problem remains in mothers after delivery problem in India. since nurses have a key role in preventive, curative, rehabilitative aspects of healthcare. nursing personnel should educate the mothers so that the quality of life will be improved. the intervention was found to be very effective in prevention of pains in mothers and fast involution of uterus.
