Abstract

Introduction: Perineal trauma following normal vaginal delivery is highly prevalent and frequently results in acute perineal pain, restricted mobility, and delayed wound healing during the early postpartum period. Inadequate pain management may negatively affect maternal comfort, functional recovery, and overall well-being. While pharmacological therapy is commonly used, non-pharmacological nursing interventions that are safe, cost-effective, and easily implemented remain underutilized. Kegel exercises, a form of pelvic floor muscle training, have been suggested to improve circulation, reduce pain, and support perineal wound healing; however, evidence from case-based clinical practice remains limited. This study aimed to explore the application of Kegel exercises as a nursing intervention to reduce acute perineal pain and promote wound healing in a woman following normal postpartum delivery. Methods: A descriptive qualitative case study design was employed. The participant was a postpartum woman with perineal rupture and acute pain admitted to the Nuri Postpartum Ward of Bhayangkara Hospital, Makassar, Indonesia. Kegel exercises were implemented over three consecutive days under nursing supervision. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and daily pain assessment using a numeric rating scale. Behavioral indicators of pain, mobility, and wound comfort were also evaluated. Results: The findings demonstrated a progressive reduction in pain intensity from severe to mild levels over the three-day intervention period. Observable pain behaviors, including grimacing, restlessness, and protective posture, gradually diminished. The patient showed improved mobility, emotional comfort, and increased confidence during movement, accompanied by reduced perineal tenderness. Conclusion: The application of Kegel exercises was effective in reducing acute perineal pain and supporting early wound healing in normal postpartum women. This intervention may be integrated into routine postpartum nursing care to enhance recovery and maternal well-being.

Abstract

Cataract remains one of the leading causes of avoidable visual impairment among older adults, particularly in community and rural settings where awareness and access to eye health services are limited. Low levels of knowledge, misconceptions that cataract is a normal and untreatable part of aging, and delayed health-seeking behaviour contribute to late diagnosis and preventable blindness. This community service program aimed to improve knowledge, awareness, and preventive behaviour regarding cataract among older adults through a community-based educational intervention using a field visit approach. The program was conducted in a selected community and involved older adult participants recruited with the support of local leaders. Activities were conducted in a single-day session and included structured health education on cataract, interactive discussions, basic health assessments, and free eye examinations. Educational materials covered the definition of cataract, risk factors such as smoking, ultraviolet exposure, and chronic diseases, early signs and symptoms, preventive measures, and available treatment options. The interactive discussion allowed participants to clarify misconceptions and relate the information to their personal experiences. The results showed a clear improvement in participants’ knowledge levels after the intervention, with a marked shift from low to moderate and reasonable knowledge categories. Participants also demonstrated increased awareness of the importance of early detection and regular eye examinations. The integration of education with basic health and eye screening enhanced participant engagement and reinforced the relevance of eye health within overall healthy aging. This program demonstrates that community-based cataract education using a field visit approach is a practical and effective strategy to strengthen eye health literacy among older adults and supports efforts to prevent avoidable visual impairment at the community level
