Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of olive oil massage on post-operative cesarean pain and sleep quality. Design: randomized controlled trial. Sample: simple random sample of two hundred primiparous women was recruited in the study. The inclusion criteria was women who can read and write, their age ranged between 15-38 years, undergoing elective cesarean with spinal anesthesia, term pregnancy, have intact skin in the massage areas (i.e. scalp, neck, upper shoulder, hands and feet), no history of olive oil sensitivity, full consciousness after the surgery, willingness to participate, free from any medical disorders and post- cesarean section complications. Procedure: massage took place 8 hours post- cesarean section operation. Olive oil (5 ml) was applied for massaging each part of the woman's body (i.e. scalp, neck, upper shoulder, hands, and feet). Results: there were statistical significant differences between the study and the control groups related to levels of the post-operative cesarean section pain and fatigue after olive oil massage (p ≤0.05). Further, there were statistical significance differences between both groups related to mean of total sleep disturbance (t=-12.07, p≤ 0.0001) and total sleep effectiveness (t=15.77, p≤ 0.0001).Conclusion: Olive oil massage may act as positive intervention in managing the post-operative cesarean pain and sleep disturbance.
