The Effect of Early Mobilization on the Process of Wound Healing in the Inflammatory Phase of Post Sectio Caesarea

Abstract

Sectio caesarea is an artificial birth where the fetus is born through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterine wall provided that the uterus is intact and the fetus weights more than 500 grams. The incidence of sectio caesarea in Indonesia is 15.3%. Sectio caesarea surgery performed in an attempt to expel the baby will leave an incision wound condition. One of the factors that support the process of wound healing is early mobilization. Early mobilization carried out in stages will help to improve blood circulation so it can accelerate the healing process, especially during the inflammatory phase, so mothers can return to normal daily activities. This research aims to determine the effect of early mobilization on the wound healing process in the inflammatory phase of post sectio caesarea, The purpose of this research is to find out how early mobilization influences the wound healing process in the inflammatory phase of post sectio caesarea at Sufina Aziz General Hospital, Medan in 2023. This research used a quantitative research method with the Quasi Experiment Design Method with the One Group Pre-test Post-test Design. The population of all post sectio caesarea patients at Sufina Aziz General Hospital in Medan City with a sample of 15 respondents used the Accidental Sampling Technique. Data analysis in this research used the Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed that almost all respondents, namely 14 respondents, experienced wound healing in the inflammatory phase category either on the third day post sectio caesarea or after (post-test) early mobilization. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test obtained a p value (0.000) <? (0.05) which means that there is an effect of early mobilization on the wound healing process in the inflammatory phase of post sectio caesarea at Sufina Aziz Hospital, Medan City in 2023. Health workers are expected to increase professionalism in providing services to patients, especially in providing early post-sectio caesarea mobilization
