Abstract:
Pain is one of the main problems experienced by post-section caesarean (SC)
mothers. Pain can have an impact on various things, including disrupting
maternal activities and bonding with the baby. There are several non-
pharmacological interventions to reduce pain, one of which is foot massage. This
literature review aims to evaluate the results of research on the effect of foot
massage in reducing pain intensity in post-SC mothers. Literature searches were
conducted electronically through Google Scholar and Pubmed. The keywords
used were massage, pain and post-section caesarean. There were 15 research
articles on foot massage to reduce maternal pain. The results of the literature
search showed that foot massage for 10-20 minutes on both feet in post-SC
mothers was beneficial in reducing the pain scale. Foot massage is a safe and
effective intervention for post-SC mothers.
