Summary

In fundus measurement of puerperium by a nurse, it is necessary to palpate the fundus while applying moderate pressure with fingers. Since there is no teaching material that clearly shows how to apply palpation pressure, in order to study the method of learning how to apply palpation pressure, we quantified the palpation pressure when midwives measured the uterine fundus of puerperal women, and examined its characteristics. clarified. As a result, it became clear that the palpation pressure applied to each finger used by midwives when finally determining the fundus height in the fundus measurement on the 3rd day of puerperium was not uniform.
