Although the World Health Organization predicts the caesarean section rate to be 10-15%, the caesarean section rate in Turkey is 52%, more than three times the international standard. It is very important to eliminate the physical and psychosocial problems experienced by women during this period, to encourage breastfeeding, and at the same time to protect and improve maternal health. Maintaining the mother's well-being after cesarean section and supporting pharmacological treatment with non-pharmacological practices have an important place in nursing care. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of oxytocin massage and reflexology applied to mothers in the post-cesarean period on the perception of insufficient milk, breastfeeding motivation, fatigue, anxiety and uterine involution.
