Abstract

High maternal birth with vaginal delivery causes high rate for perineal trauma and episiotomy. Epissiorraphy healing is prolonged in primiparous mother because lack of knowledge to care of their wound. It will interfere with the mother activity because of discomfort and pain on episiorrhaphy site. That is why non-pharmacologic management is recommended such as warm sitz bath therapy. Warm sitzbath therapy can increase blood flow to the perineal area through vasodilatation, increased capillary permeability, and reduced blood viscosity. Increased blood flows bring oxygen, nutrients and white blood cells to the wound that cause so the episiorraphy can heal faster The design of this research was pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group. The sample was 15 participant for the intervention group using lavender sitzbath therapy and 15 participant for control group using sitzbath therapy only. The instrument using REEDA scale. Bivariate statistical test using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney. The experiment group using lavender sitzbath therapy in pre-test “slightly healed” on the effectiveness of the lavender sitzbath therapy in terms of the healing process of episiorraphy on primiparous mother with the weighted mean 8.87 and the post-test “fully healed” with the weighted means 1.37. The result of pre-test and post-test had p-value of 0.001. it was interpreted that the lavender sitzbath therapy had a significant relationship in the healing process of primiparous mother. Lavender sitzbath therapy was effective on episiorraphy among postpartum mother
