This study was conducted to determine the effect of using antibacterial gel of bidara leaf extract on episiotomy wound healing in the working area of HAMS KISARAN RSU. Based on the results of statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test, it is known that the p value (0.005) < (0.05) means Ho is rejected, so there are differences in episiotomy wound healing before and after the use of antibacterial gel of bidara leaf extract. These results prove that there is a significant effect of using antibacterial gel of bidara leaf extract on episiotomy wound healing at HAMS Hospital Kisaran.
