dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of Oketani massage on breastfeeding success and breast engorgement in mothers who give birth by cesarean section. The study is a randomized controlled, two-group comparison, experimental study conducted in a city hospital in eastern Turkey between December 2022 and April 2023 and 116 women participated. The LATCH score was 9.25 +/- 1.25 in the massage group and 8.08 +/- 2.38 in the control group. breast engorgement scale score was 1.26 +/- 0.48 in the massage group and 1.45 +/- 0.53 in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the massage group and the control group in terms of LATCH score and breast engorgement scale mean score. In this study, it was found that Oketani massage reduces breast engorgement, which is an important problem for the continuation of breastfeeding, and positively affects successful breastfeeding.
