This period is of great importance in terms of protecting the health of both mother and baby, meeting their care needs, and increasing their comfort. During the postpartum period, women experience physiological, psychological, and social changes; hormonal changes, assuming parental roles, changes in family dynamics, and increased responsibilities related to infant care can lead to adjustment difficulties. This can cause problems for the mother in both her own care and infant care.\n\nIn the postpartum period, mothers may experience various health problems such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, infections, breastfeeding problems, hemorrhoids, constipation, urinary incontinence, depressive symptoms, and mood swings. Pain, in particular, arises due to uterine contractions, breast engorgement, nipple tenderness, and other complications, negatively affecting the mother's mobility, sleep patterns, social interaction, and quality of life. Furthermore, stress and adjustment problems experienced during the postpartum period can lead to serious psychological problems such as delayed maternal bonding, postpartum blues, postpartum depression, psychosis, and communication problems between couples.\n\nPharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the management of these problems. However, due to the negative effects that pharmacological methods may have during breastfeeding, interest in complementary and alternative medicine practices has increased. Reflexology, aromatherapy, music therapy, acupressure, and Reiki are among these methods.\n\nReiki is an energy therapy method that aims to balance an individual's life energy and support the natural healing process, applied through touch or the placement of hands on specific points. Reiki application is reported to have positive effects on pain, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and coping skills. Although it is one of the preferred methods for adapting to changes and reducing problems experienced in the postpartum period, studies directly examining the effects of Reiki application on postpartum recovery quality, comfort, and mood are quite limited. Due to its low cost, ease of application, and lack of side effects, Reiki is considered an important complementary care approach that can be used in the postpartum period.\n\nThe aim of this study is to determine the effect of face-to-face Reiki treatment on the quality of postpartum healing, comfort level, and mood in women who have had cesarean deliveries, on days 1, 2, and 7 of the postpartum period.",[30,96,97,98],"Reiki Therapy","Mood","Comfort",[100],"Reiki Therapy, Postpartum Period, Mood, Comfort, Recovery of Function","2026-06-12",{"date":103,"type":43},"2026-06-17",{"date":105,"type":21},"2026-06-15",{"date":107,"type":21},"2027-01-01",{"name":109,"class":50},"University of Gaziantep",{"id":111,"slug":112,"hasResults":11,"nctId":113,"briefTitle":114,"officialTitle":115,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":116,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":117,"maxAge":118,"enrollmentInfo":119,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":121,"briefSummary":122,"conditions":123,"keywords":124,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":129,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":130,"startDateStruct":132,"completionDateStruct":134,"leadSponsor":136,"locationsCount":81},"100642994","effects-of-pilates-and-moderate-intensity-aerobic-exercise-on-postpartum-weight-loss-and-body-composition-100642994","NCT07642245","Effects of Pilates and Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Exercise on Postpartum Weight Loss and Body Composition","Effects of Pilates Versus Moderate Intensity Aerobic Exercises on Weight Loss, Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratio in Postpartum Period.","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women aged 20 to 40 years\n* BMI \\> 25kg\u002Fm2 at baseline\n* Medically cleared by a health professional to perform physical activity\n* Women 6 to 24 weeks postpartum\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women with complications during delivery (Cesarean complications, perineal tears grade 3 or 4)\n* Presence of chronic disorders (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disorders, severe anemia)\n* Neuromusculoskeletal disorders affecting physical activity\n* Currently participating in another fitness program\n* Postpartum depression or other psychological disorders that may affect adherence","20 Years","40 Years",{"count":120,"type":21},30,[24],"After childbirth, many women experience difficulty losing pregnancy-related weight, which can affect their health, self-esteem, and physical activity.

Hormonal changes, increased caregiving responsibilities, sleep disturbances, and potential social isolation during pregnancy and the postpartum period may increase vulnerability to stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common mental health concern that adversely affects maternal well-being, mother-infant interaction, and infant development, with insufficient social support identified as one of its most significant risk factors.\n\nMaternal self-efficacy, defined as a mother's perceived competence in caring for and responding to her infant's needs, is a key indicator of successful adaptation to the parenting role. Evidence suggests that maternal self-efficacy develops primarily within the first months after childbirth and tends to be lower in primiparous women. Low parenting self-efficacy has been associated with increased depressive symptoms, higher parenting stress, impaired mother-infant bonding, and negative developmental outcomes for the infant.\n\nAmong social support sources, partner support plays a particularly protective role during the transition to parenthood. Emotional, informational, and practical support provided by the partner has been shown to enhance maternal self-efficacy, reduce psychological distress, improve marital adjustment, and lower the risk of postpartum depression. Conversely, low perceived partner support and relationship difficulties are associated with an increased risk of PPD in primiparous mothers.\n\nThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived partner support and postpartum parenting self-efficacy and depressive symptoms in primiparous women.
