Abstract

Background: Perineal lesions are one of the problems that are often experienced by postpartum mothers and are at risk of infection if not treated properly. The combination of personal hygiene and Kegel exercises is believed to speed up the healing of perineal wounds. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of personal hygiene in combination with Kegel gymnastics on the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers at TPMB Nina Rahayu Gedog Wetan Turen, Malang Regency. Methods: The study used a quasi experiment design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach. The number of samples was 32 postpartum mothers who were divided into intervention and control groups with total sampling techniques. The instruments used were the REEDA scale and data analysis using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: After the intervention, the intervention group showed a 50% increase in the healing of the well-defined perineal lesion, while the control group remained in the slow-healing category. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a value of p=0.000 and the Mann-Whitney test showed a value of p=0.000 which means that there was a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Personal hygiene combination Kegel exercises are effective in accelerating the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers.
