  5. Thepurpose of thisstudy is todeterminetheeffect of footreflexology on infantilecolic.

  6. Materials and Methods -Single blinded (Parent) -RandomizedControlledTrial -Thestudywasconducted on a tertiaryhospital in Turkeyin June2016 – March2017. -Infantswhohad infantile colic with regard to Wessel Criteria -20 controland 20 studygroupfor a total of 40 infants

  7. Data Collection Tools: • InfantileColicScale (ICS) • Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC)PainScale • Daily sleepfollowup form • Daily cryingfollowup form

  8. Ethics: • The data were collected by the researcher through the data collection tools after written consent was taken from Ethics Committee, and the hospital where the research has been carried out.

  9. Results

  10. Results-1 • After reflexology; • Infant Colic Scale average points, • FLACC average points, • Averages of crying time and violence • Averages of sleep time, • When feedback averages were analyzed, very meaningful differences were detected.

  11. Results-2 It is detected on study group infants; • Their colic situation had recovery, • Pain sense decreased, • Crying time and violence decreased, • Sleep time increased, • 60% of infants did not have crying attacks from infantile colic, • Crying time and frequency decreased in 40% of them. There was no meaningful difference on control group infants in all parameters.

  12. Negative medium strong relation was detected between crying and sleep times. When the crying time increased, sleep time decreased or vice versa interaction was defined.(PearsonCorrelation: -606).

  13. ICS Average Point Divisions According to Observations

  14. Comparison of Point Averages of FLACC Scale at All Observations
