Objective
To investigate postpartum mothers’ experiences of receiving care using a pelvic belt as support for alleviating back pain within one month after childbirth.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews were conducted from January to March 2020 with 11 postpartum mothers. The obtained data were analyzed using a qualitative inductive method. The effects of the care were extracted from the data and classified.
Results
Results The responses to using belts and other support devices to alleviate back pain were categorized as follows: "reduces pain," "my back hurts when I take it off," "my back is fixed and stable," "there is less of a burden on my back," "it is easy to move," and "I feel secure”. The category "I don't know if it is effective" was also identified.
Consideration
We believe that the use of belts and other devices can help reduce the burden on the back and alleviate pain. It is also assumed that mothers experiencing pain can continue to use the belts to feel secure and to prevent their back pain from worsening.
