EFEKTIVITAS KONSUMSI PUTIH TELUR REBUS DENGAN PENYEMBUHAN LUKA JAHITAN PERINEUM PADA IBU NIFAS

Abstract

Factors of maternal mortality in Indonesia cause by various things. Bleeding and infection are one of
the highest cases of the death cause. The humid perineum and the wound which is not treated well can
improve the bacteria growth thus it can cause infection. Based on the results of a preliminary study
with interviews with 6 postpartum mothers who experienced perineal injuries, 4 mothers said they did
not know that consuming boiled egg whites could heal perineal wounds. The purpose of this study was
to determine the effectiveness of consuming boiled egg whites in healing perineal suture wounds in
postpartum mothers. This type of research uses a pre-experimental design with a Quasy Experiment
Design approach in July-November 2022 at TPMB Marwani SST Lampung Tengah. The independent
variable in this study is the consumption of boiled egg whites, while the dependent is perineal wound
healing. The population of this study were all postpartum mothers who experienced second degree
perineal injuries. The sampling technique in this study was non-probability sampling, purposive
sampling. The results of the bivariate analysis test used were the Mann Whiteney test with a p-value
0.009 < 0.05, which means that consumption of boiled egg whites is effective in accelerating the
healing time of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers. Suggestions from researchers are that it is
hoped that postpartum mothers can know how to treat perineal suture wounds so that infection does
not occur and further increase their knowledge about how to treat perineal suture wounds.
