Abstract

The postpartum period is the six-week recovery period for the uterine organs after childbirth. A common phenomenon is discomfort due to perineal rupture, experienced by approximately 83% of women giving birth in Indonesia. Perineal pain can hinder early mobilization, disrupt rest patterns, and impede mother-infant interaction. Data from Salatiga Regional Hospital (2024-2025) recorded 634 cases of spontaneous labor with perineal wound pain. This scientific paper aims to describe the management of postpartum discomfort using non-pharmacological pain management (cold compresses). The researchers used a descriptive case study method to address the nursing problem of postpartum discomfort. The case subjects were women who spontaneously underwent postpartum labor experiencing perineal wound pain. The chosen intervention was cold compress, a form of skin stimulation is using low temperatures to produce analgesic effects, reduce edema, and stimulate endorphin release. Implementation was carried out for three days to reduce pain levels as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Previous research has shown that cold compress therapy can significantly reduce pain intensity from moderate (scale 4) to no pain (scale 0). Cold compresses were more effective in reducing pain than the control group that did not receive cold compresses. It is recommended that the public, especially postpartum mothers, independently apply cold compresses as an inexpensive and easy method to reduce perineal pain. Healthcare institutions are expected to use the results of this study as a source of information to improve the quality of maternity nursing services through non-pharmacological methods that are safe for both mother and baby.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or action, with one of its complications being skin integrity disorders such as diabetic ulcers, which are difficult to heal because of peripheral  neuropathy and circulatory impairment. Wound care using the moist wound healing method is a modern approach that maintains wound moisture, thereby accelerating the healing process and reducing the risk of infection. This study aims to describe the management of skin integrity disorders in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus through moist wound healing care at Pandan Arang Hospital, Boyolali. The method used is descriptive with a nursing case study approach on one patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and diabetic ulcer treated in the Akar Wangi Ward, with data collected through interviews, observation, physical examination, and medical record documentation over three days. The results showed that the patient had a stage III wound measuring 8×6 cm with a random blood glucose level of 778 mg/dl, and after three days of moist wound healing care, improvements were observed in the form of granulation tissue formation, reduced swelling, decreased tissue damage, and reduced pus, although the wound size remained unchanged. The conclusion of this study is that moist wound healing is able to improve wound conditions and enhance the tissue healing process, although skin integrity problems have not been fully resolved, thus requiring continued care.
