effect of childbed gymnastic on decline the high of fundus uterine in postpartum mother
ABSTRACT
Puerperium is the period after the placenta is born and ends when the womb
tools back such as pre-pregnancy state. Health recovery process during puerperium
is very important for mothers after childbirth. One way to speed up the process of
uterine involution by doing childbed gymnastics to stimulate the uterine muscles to
function optimally, so it is expected to not occur postpartum bleeding. The most
common cause of postpartum hemorrhage 50% - 60% due to the weakness or
absence of uterine contractions. The majority of maternal morbidity and mortality
caused by the failure of the myometrium to contract completely, this was seen at
the RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang with bleeding events from year to year decline was
visible from 2011 as much (2.79%), in 2012 (2.52%), and in 2013 (2.86%).
This research aims to determine the effect of childbed gymnastic on decline high of
fundus uterine in postpartum mother. The research was conducted in RSUP Dr. M Djamil
Padang, the type of experimental research using Post Test only control group design,
with a population of postpartum maternal spontaneous. The samples were
spontaneous postpartum mothers who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The sample consists of group that perform childbed gymnastics for 6 days and
group who do not implement the childbed gymnastics and then measurements of
fundus height were taken at day 1, day 3 and day 6.
The results of the research using the test of General Linear Model (GLM) there is a significant
influence on the function of the uterine fundus between the intervention group and the control group (P =
0.05).
