Between 6‐ and 12‐h postpartum, the women in the intervention group took a shower in a standing position at a water temperature of 37°C–41°C for 10–20 min, and the control group received standard care. Data were collected using the Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue, Visual Analogue Scale, Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire and Brief Mood Insight Scale.ResultsThe intervention group experienced a statistically significant decrease in fatigue, discomfort and negative mood levels compared with the control group after the intervention (p < 0.001). In addition, the intervention group had statistically significantly higher levels of energy, physical, mental and sociocultural comfort, and positive mood levels compared with the control group (p < 0.001).ConclusionTaking a warm shower in the postpartum 6th–12th hours was effective in decreasing fatigue, discomfort, and negative mood of women, while increasing comfort levels and positive mood. 10.1111/ijn.70039 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
