Abstract

Postpartum maternal pain increases with injuries to the birth canal. Some cases of postpartum infections are caused by improper perineal wound care, which causes bacterial growth. If the perineal wound is not treated with proper care, it can lead to infection and even death in some cases. Traditional plant as nonpharmacological therapy such as Jatropha multifida L. could be one of alternative therapy for wound healing. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of secondary metabolites found in the Jatropha multifida L. plant as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory as an effort to heal perineal wounds in postpartum mothers. This study used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis) method. Five literatures was obtained from several literature search engines, namely Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, and ProQuest. The keywords used in the search were "Jatropha multifida" and "Wound healing". The results of a literature review related to Jatropha multifida L. showed that this plant has the potential to be used as a therapy for healing perineal wounds in postpartum mothers because it contains several secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins which act as antibacterial and anti-inflammatories in the wound healing process.

Abstract

Background: Postpartum perineal wound care may lead to infection if not managed properly. Jatropha multifida L. contains various secondary metabolites that may accelerate wound healing; however, clinical evidence remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Jatropha multifida L. extract ointment compared with standard clean and dry wound care in promoting perineal wound healing. Methods: This was a true experimental study with a pre–posttest control group design. A total of 60 postpartum mothers with second-degree perineal lacerations were randomly assigned into three groups: control, 15% extract, and 20% extract. The interventions were applied twice daily for 7 days. Wound healing was assessed on days 3, 5, and 7 using the REEDA (Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, Approximation) score. Results: The Friedman test showed a significant reduction in REEDA scores across all groups (p < 0.001). The greatest decrease was observed in the 15% concentration group (mean = 0.4). Cohen’s d indicated a very large effect size (d = 1.835). Conclusions: Jatropha multifida L. extract ointment at a 15% concentration was effective in improving perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers.
