Abstract

Objective To study the effect of postoperative rehabilitation of meditation training on repeat cesarean section patients. Methods A total of 86 cases of repeat cesarean section from October 1st, 2014 to October 1st, 2016 were collected. The patients were divided into the observation group (43 cases) and the control group (43 cases) by random digits table method. The observationgroup received meditation therapy by a well-trained nurse based on the routine treatment. The control group was treated with routine treatment. The two groups were compared by postoperative pain score, anxiety and depression scores, the first breastfeeding time, the first urination time and satisfaction. Results After intervention, the postoperative pain visual scores of the observation group and the control group were 3.21±1.51 and 5.41±1.45 respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.817, P 6 h/failure: 2.32% (1/43) . While the data of the control group were 6 h/failure: 13.95% (6/43) , the differences were statistically significant (t=6.114, P < 0.05). The satisfaction of the observation group and the control group were 98.47% (42/43) and 91.69% (39/43) respectively, the difference was statistically significant. (χ2=7.679, P<0.01). Conclusions Meditation can effectively reduce the postoperative pain, reduce the incidence of anxiety, shorten the first time of breastfeeding and urination, and improve patients′ satisfaction.
