Abstract: Breast engorgement is a physiological condition characterized by painful swelling of the breasts. It results from sudden increase in milk volume, lymphatic and vascular congestion, and interstitial edema during the first two weeks following childbirth. It may also result from insufficient breastfeeding or any kind of obstruction in milk ducts. So, there is a need to disseminate information regarding efficacy of non-pharmacological intervention in breast engorgement. The current study was carried out to know the effect of chilled cabbage leaves vs. hot compression on breast engorgement among post natal mothers admitted in post natal wards of Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, Chandigarh. A total of 64 mothers with breast engorgement were enrolled in the study. Interventions were randomized by simple lottery method. Same kind of intervention was given to all the available subjects for one week and after that other intervention was given for next week. In the first week all the available subjects were given hot compression and at second week chilled cabbage leave were applied. Standardized tools i.e. numerical rating pain scale (N.R.S.) and 6 point breast engorgement scale were used to assess the severity of pain and engorgement level. The protocol for application of chilled cabbage leaves and hot compression was prepared and validated by experts. Pain score and engorgement score was compared between the groups and within groups. The analysis of data was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. At the end of intervention severity of pain and breast engorgement was decreased in both groups. Hence both the interventions were effective in relieving pain and reducing breast engorgement.
