Pre-test was conducted 4 hours after surgery and after that lumbar support was given for 1 hour for three days 0, 1st and 2nd POD to interventional group and after each intervention post-test was conducted among both interventional and routine care group. Results and discussion: The study findings stated that, the interventional group pre-test mean, and SD was 2.9 ± 0.4, the calculated‘t’ value was 0 at the level of p<0.05. On 1st post-test mean and SD was 2.8 ± 0.5 the calculated’ value was 1 at the level of p<0.05. 2nd post test mean and SD was 1.9 ± 0.4, the calculated‘t’ value was 9 at the level of p<0.05 and 3rd post-test mean and SD was 1.1 ± 0.5, the calculated‘t’ value was 17 at the level of p<0.05.
