| dc.description.abstract | Background: Postpartum period was the return of uterine implants such as before
pregnancy which takes 6 weeks after born. Good nutrition patterns would speed healing
wound perineum. The high nutritional content of calories, protein, fluids, and vitamins
needed for speed up perineal wound closure.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship of postnatal maternal nutritional
patterns with the healing of perineal wounds in Puri community health center Mojokerto.
Methods: Analytical research design with Cross-Sectional. The population used
postpartum mothers with perineal injuries. The sampling technique was through
consecutive. The sample size was 90 respondents. The independent variable was nutrition
pattern and the dependent variable was perineal wound healing. The instrument used was a
questionnaire sheet postpartum maternal nutrition pattern and observation sheets for
perineal wound healing.
Results: The results showed 56 respondents (63.3%) had good nutrition patterns and good
perineal wound healing, 27 respondents (30%) had poor nutrition patterns and moderate
perineal wound healing, as many as 7 respondents (6.7%) had nutritional patterns less and
bad perineal wound healing. Chi-Square statistical test results showed ρ (0,000) <α 0.05.
Conclusion: It could concluded that there was a relationship between the nutritional
pattern of the puerperal mother with the healing of perineal wounds. High caloric, protein,
fluid and mineral intake and vitamins in the puerperium mother will accelerate the process
of new cell regeneration so that the puerperal perineal wound heals faster. Postpartum
mothers are expected to maintain a nutritional pattern for healing the perineal wound and
not do certain food restrictions during the puerperium. | en_US |
