Description
Background: Caesarean Section (CS) is an action to cut the continuity or
connection of tissue with an incision to remove the baby and leave a scar
from the incision. Anxiety experienced by post-cesarean mothers is usually
related to new surgical wounds obtained in the patient's abdomen, what to
do, and limited body movements due to the surgical wounds felt by the
patient; these things can cause anxiety in caesarean patients. The proper
management to reduce post-CS maternal anxiety is through education.
Health education can increase maternal knowledge so mothers are more
confident and ready to heal wounds. Objective: To determine the results of
the implementation of wound care education on anxiety in post-cesarean
mothers at Ir. Soekarno Hospital, Sukoharjo Regency. Method: An
observational descriptive study with a case study method conducted on two
post-cesarean maternal respondents who underwent wound care education
to reduce anxiety, which was carried out in the first 12-24 hours postcesarean until the 2nd day, with 10-15 minutes of assistance. Results: The
anxiety scores of both respondents on the first day were at moderate
anxiety, and on the second day, after the implementation of education, the
anxiety score became mild anxiety. Conclusion: There was a decrease in
anxiety after the implementation of wound care education
