Effects of low-frequency acupoint electrical stimulation combined with six-step breast massage on breastfeeding,lactation function and postpartum psychological state of parturients undergoing cesarean section
Objective To explore the effect of low-frequency acupoint electrical stimulation combined with six-step breast massage on breastfeeding,lactation function and postpartum psychological state of parturients undergoing cesarean section.Meth-ods 120parturients who underwent cesarean section in our hospital from September 2022to December 2022were selected as the re-search objects.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group,60cases in each group.The control group was given six-step breast massage,and the observation group was given low-frequency acupoint electrical stimulation combined with six-step breast massage.Breast-feeding assessment tool(BAT),breastfeeding self-efficacy scale(BSES)and exclusive breastfeeding rate at 42days postpartum were used to evaluate breastfeeding.The initial time of lactation,the amount of lactation,the degree of breast distending pain at 48h after delivery and the serum prolactin(PRL)levels at 24,48and 72h after delivery were recorded.The edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS)was used to evaluate the postpartum psychological status at 72h and 42d after delivery.Results The BAT score,the success rate of first breastfeeding,the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 42days postpartum,and the BSES score at 72hours and 42days postpartum in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The initial time of lactation in the observation group was earlier than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The amount of lactation and the levels of PRL at 24,48and 72hours after delivery were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The degree of breast tenderness at 48hours after delivery was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The EPDS scores of the observation group at 72h and 42d after delivery were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low-frequency acupoint electrical stimulation combined with six-step breast massage can improve the breastfeeding rate and breastfeeding self-confidence of cesarean section women,improve breast distending pain,and promote lactation function and post-partum mental health.It is a postpartum breast nursing method worthy of promotion.
