Implementation phase: In this phase, the selected parturient
were randomly assigned into two groups (45 for each).
The first group comprised of 45 postnatal who were encouraged
to administer warm compresses treatment for reducing
breast engorgement. Alternate warm moist sponge cloths
and warm shower were applied to the engorged breasts; the
cloths were replaced frequently after 1-2 minutes continued
for the duration of 15-20 minutes. The temperature of the
water for warm compresses ranged between 43C to 46C
and for the warm shower as assessed by a lotion thermometer
were replaced frequently after 1-2 minutes continued for the
duration of 15-20 minutes.
After the completion of this group, the next group comprised
of 45 postnatal women who were encouraged to administer
cold cabbage leaves treatment for reducing breast engorgement.
Cabbage leaves rinsed carefully before use. A patch
test was done by applying a small piece of cabbage leaf
on the skin to test sensitivity before starting the treatment.
Cabbage leaves were refrigerated in the freezer for approximately
20-30 minutes before application. Apply the cabbage
leaves directly to breasts, wearing them inside of the bra.
Cold cabbage leaves were placed inside the women bra for
15-20 minutes. Remove wilted leaves and reapplies fresh
leaves. Scientific evidenced mentioned that, cold green cabbage
(Brassica capitata) is used for engorgement therapy. In
addition, Cabbage is known to contain sinigrin rapine, mustard
oil, magnesium, oxylate and sulphurheterosides. And
has both antibiotic and anti-irritant properties.[31]
To assess the pain and engorgement score for both groups,
they were assessed before and after the two different methods
of nursing care. The duration of each intervention was 15-20
minutes. If the baby is unable to feed frequently enough, then
fully drain the breasts once or twice daily with an effective
breast pump until engorgement is disappeared.
