Statement: A Quasi-Experimental Study on Effect of ‘Clutch Hold’ Method of Breast Feeding on ‘Comfort Level’ of Post Cesarean Mothers Admitted in Obstetrics Units of Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, Chandigarh. Objectives: Main Objective- To study the effect of ‘clutch hold’ method of breast feeding on comfort level of post caesarean mothers. Sub-objectives- 1) To select tool and use it to measure comfort level in caesarean mothers while breast feeding. 2) To develop protocol of clutch-hold method for breast feeding and use it among experimental study subjects. 3) To assess and compare the findings. Methodology: A quasi- experimental research approach was used with cross-over study design. Population was 76 cesarean mothers who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted in obstetrics unit of Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, UT, Chandigarh (India). Result: The present study revealed that that comfort level in post caesarean mothers while breast feeding is independent of methods of breast feeding as it is evident by ‘p’ value 0.122, i.e., ‘p’ value is not significant. Mothers who were exposed to ‘clutch-hold’ & ‘cradle-hold’ methods of breast feeding after caesarean section, experienced no significant difference on comfort level while breast feeding.
