This study was done to test the effects of Oketani breast massage on breast pain and breast milk pH of mothers, and sucking speed of neonates.
A nonequivalent control group and a pretest-posttest design was used. Postpartum mothers complaining of breast pain were recruited at a postpartum care center. The application of Oketani breast massage by an Oketani massage therapist was the experimental treatment. The control group received the conventional massage technique from a nurse at the postpartum care centre. The collected data were analysed using a chi2-test and a t-test with the SPSS WIN 12.0 program.
The participants were homogeneous in age, gestation period, and birth weight. Breast pain (t=8.384, p<.001) was significantly relieved, and breast milk pH (t=4.793, p<.001) was significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. The sucking speed of the neonates in the experimental group was significantly increased compared to the control group (t=9.920, p<.001).
These findings indicate that Oketani breast massage is effective in relieving breast pain and increasing breast milk pH as well as the sucking speed of neonates.
本研究旨在测试小谷乳房按摩对母亲乳房疼痛、母乳pH值以及新生儿吸吮速度的影响。
采用非等效对照组和前后测设计。在产后护理中心招募主诉乳房疼痛的产后母亲。由小谷按摩治疗师进行小谷乳房按摩为实验性治疗。对照组在产后护理中心接受护士的常规按摩技术。使用SPSS WIN 12.0程序对收集的数据进行卡方检验和t检验分析。
参与者在年龄、妊娠期和出生体重方面具有同质性。与对照组相比，实验组的乳房疼痛（t = 8.384，p <.001）明显减轻，母乳pH值（t = 4.793，p <.001）明显升高。与对照组相比，实验组新生儿的吸吮速度明显加快（t = 9.920，p <.001）。
这些结果表明，小谷乳房按摩在缓解乳房疼痛、提高母乳pH值以及新生儿吸吮速度方面是有效的。
