Summary

This study Maims to assess bowel motility, pain and psychological well-being in women in the post-cesarean period by mobilizing them early and encouraging them to consume coffee.

Detailed description

In the intervention group, the goal is to initiate bowel motility by mobilizing women early in the post-cesarean period. This increased bowel motility will facilitate gas expulsion, thus minimizing pain levels. Caffeine consumption will help keep pain levels at a minimum. By minimizing pain, women will experience positive psychological well-being.
