Aim of this study was to assess the effect of finger handheld relaxation technique on incisional pain intensity among post caesarean women. Subjects and Method. Study design: -Quasi experimental design study & control group was utilized in the current study. Setting: The study was conducted at the postpartum unit- maternity hospital at zagazig University Hospital, Subjects: A purposive sample of totally one hundred and two (102) postnatal women were recruited to participate in the study using a purposive sampling technique, 51 women as experimental group and 51 women as control group. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used for data collection; structured interviewing questionnaire, numerical rating scale & Likert Scale. Results: Indicated that; after the intervention, finger handheld relaxation technique significantly decreased pain intensity among post cesarean women in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that; the finger handheld relaxation technique was effective, inexpensive and simple method available to help post-c-section women with pain management.
