Egg, Postpartum, Perineal WoundAbstract
The postpartum period begins after the placenta is delivered and lasts approximately six weeks, during which mothers are vulnerable to complications such as puerperal infections. One contributing factor is perineal injury, particularly second-degree tears that commonly occur during childbirth. Optimal healing of these wounds is crucial to prevent infection, and adequate protein intake—including easily accessible sources such as egg whites—may help accelerate the healing process. In Indonesia, perineal ruptures remain common, occurring in a considerable proportion of mothers across reproductive age groups. This condition highlights the need for effective nutritional interventions to support postpartum recovery. This study aims to determine the effect of additional egg white consumption on the acceleration of second-degree perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers at PMB Utin Mulia Pontianak. Using a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, the study included 20 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between egg white consumption and wound healing. In conclusion, egg white supplementation was found to positively support the acceleration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers, indicating its potential as a simple and beneficial nutritional intervention during the postpartum period.
