Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in postoperative pain after caesarean section within 24 hours from baseline
Pain will be assessed using a 10 cm visual analogue scale. '0' means no pain, while '10' means unbearable pain. The assessment will be carried out at the start of the study, at 6-hour intervals, and at the end.
Time frame
Starting point, after intervention at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours2
Change in postoperative Bowel Motility after caesarean section within 24 hours from baseline
Bowel motility will be assessed using BFI. The Bowel Function Index (BFI) is a short and practical measure used to assess constipation, particularly in patients using opioids. It consists of three questions, each scored on a scale of 0 to 100. These scores are used to measure the degree of bowel dysfunction.
Time frame
Starting point, after intervention at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours3
Change in postoperative Psychological Well-being after caesarean section within 24 hours from baseline
Psychological Well-being will be assessed using Psychological Well-Being Scale. Based on the score obtained: 1.00-2.99 → Low psychological resilience, 3.00-4.30 → Moderate level, 4.31-5.00 → High psychological resilience.
