Abstract
(VAS) were applied to all women. Results: A total of 347 women, 178 (51.0%) in the intervention group and 169 (49.0%) in the control group, were included in the study. There was no difference between the intervention group and the control group in the scores obtained from the VAS before the ice application (6.0 (6.0-7.0) vs. 6.0 (6.0-7.0), p=0.530). On the other hand, a significant difference was found between the mean VAS scores of women in the intervention and control groups after ice application (4.0 (4.0-6.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0-6.0), p=0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that ice massage applied to the LI4 pressure point in the hands during episi-otomy repair significantly reduced the perceived pain level.
