Abstract

Postpartum mothers with an indication of episiotomy will experience a higher level of pain.
This birth canal trauma is acute and is expected to recover in a short period of time, can
be measured, and without serious complications. The aim of this study was to identify the
healing process of postpartum maternal perineal wounds. The intervention was carried
out on 31 postpartum mothers with the selection using purposive sampling technique.
Maternity cool gel pad (MCGP) which was applied to the perineal wound care intervention
on the 2nd and 3rd day after delivery showed the wound healing process was observed
using the REEDA measuring instrument and analyzed using the T one sample test. The
repair of the wound repair scale from the mean REEDA score (10.81 ± 2.98) occurred in
all wounds of the study respondents at post intervention (5.32 ± 1.73). Maternity cool gel
pad intervention assisted the wound healing process in post intervention data (P <0.005).
The results of this study can be indicative of an inflammatory response locally in perineal
wounds, but further research is needed to observe the impact of perineal wound healing
with a combination of methods that can help evaluate the perineal wound repair process
that can be done by mothers independently at home.
