Abstract

Early mobilization is an important component of postpartum care that may influence the speed of uterine involution. Delayed uterine involution can increase the risk of postpartum complications, including hemorrhage and prolonged recovery. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between early mobilization and uterine involution among postpartum mothers at Gandasuli Public Health Center. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from September to November 2025. The study population consisted of 56 postpartum mothers, selected using a total sampling technique. The independent variable was early mobilization, categorized based on the type of activity performed, while the dependent variable was uterine involution assessed through uterine fundal height reduction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kendall’s tau-b correlation test. The results showed that most respondents practiced early mobilization, particularly standing and walking, and the majority experienced rapid uterine involution. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between early mobilization and uterine involution (τ = -0.321; p = 0.010). In conclusion, early mobilization is significantly associated with faster uterine involution among postpartum mothers. Promoting early mobilization should be emphasized as part of routine postpartum care to support maternal recovery.

Abstract

Breast milk production in the early postpartum period is a crucial factor for successful breastfeeding, particularly among primiparous mothers who often experience lactation difficulties during days 3–7 after childbirth. Non-pharmacological interventions such as oxytocin massage and breast care are considered effective approaches to support milk production by enhancing hormonal release and breast stimulation.This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study was conducted at the Sahu Public Health Center, West Halmahera, involving 20 primiparous breastfeeding mothers on days 3–7 postpartum selected through purposive sampling. Oxytocin massage and breast care were administered according to standardized procedures. Breast milk production was assessed before and after the intervention using observational indicators of milk flow. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in breast milk production after the intervention. The mean breast milk production score decreased from 1.95 before the intervention to 1.15 after the intervention, indicating smoother milk flow. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in breast milk production before and after oxytocin massage and breast care (Z = −3.358; p = 0.001). Oxytocin massage combined with breast care significantly improves breast milk production among primiparous breastfeeding mothers during days 3–7 postpartum. These non-pharmacological interventions are safe, practical, and effective, and are recommended to be integrated into routine postpartum care to support early lactation success.
