Abstract :
Pregnancy is a long and exciting special journey for an antenatal woman. A maternity service provides an important role in mother, baby and family during the antenatal period. 60(30 experimental group and 30 control group) postnatal mothers who met the inclusion criteria were selected by using purposive sampling technique. After selecting the sample, the investigator explained the purpose of the study and informed consent was obtained. Demographic variables were collected pre–test was done by using numerical pain scale (experimental and control group). For experimental group, infrared radiation application was given twice a day for three days. Control group receives the routine hospital care. On the third postnatal day post–test was done for experimental and control group. The data were tabulated and analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows in experimental group pre–test 0(0%) were mild, 12(40%) were moderate, 18(60%) were severe. Control group 0(0%) were mild, 5(17%) were moderate, 25(83.3%) were severe. The result shows in experimental group post–test 21(70%) were mild, 9(30%) were moderate, 0(0%) were severe. Control group 0(0%) were mild, 9(30%) were moderate, 21(70%) were severe. The calculated ‘t’ value significant at P<0.0005. The study indicate the application of infrared radiation application is effective for postnatal women with episiotomy.
