ABSTRACT:
Breast engorgement is a condition that affects breastfeeding mothers early in the postpartum. The discomfort and tenderness as a result of the engorgement is a major contributing factor to the early cessation of breastfeeding. The objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of cabbage leaf treatment on pain and hardness of the engorged breasts of post-partum women and its influence on the duration of breastfeeding in women with breast engorgement. The research design adopted was Quasi experimental. The conceptual framework applied for this study was J.W.Kenny’ Open System model, 1990. The study was conducted in Shree Sainath hospital Dharampur. The sample size was 40 as an intervention the cabbage leave application for one day intervention. The collected data were analyzed by using inferential statistical method. t test was used to evaluate the effectiveness of cabbage leaves application to reduce level of pain, hardness and breastfeeding level in breast engorgement among postnatal mothers admitted in selected hospital. Study shows as the pre-test level of pain among selected 40 sample of breast engorgement patient admitted in selected hospital, reported 40(100%) of postnatal mother were having severe pain.pre-test level of breast engorgement among selected 40 sample of breast engorgement patient admitted in selected hospital, reported 24(60%) of postnatal mothers were having severe breast engorgement, 16(40%) of postnatal mothers were having moderate level of breast engorgement.The pretest reported 21(52.5%) of postnatal mothers were having poor breastfeeding, 19(47.5%) of postnatal mothers were having moderate level of breastfeeding. While in post-test 24(60%) had good level of breastfeeding and 16(40%) had moderate level of breastfeeding. Mean difference between the pre-test and post-test was 2.05 and the standard deviation of pre-test level was 0.80224 and post-test was 0.82275 and the calculated ‘t” value was 23.472 and the table value was 2.042 and this value is significant at <0.001 level hence the hypothesis was accepted. It is inferred that cabbage leave application therapy was effective in reducing the level of breast engorgement and improving the quality of life among patients of breast engorgement admitted in selected hospital. Improvement in breastfeeding level.
