<![CDATA[Perineal wound pain is one of the most common complaints experienced by postpartum mothers and may interfere with daily activities, mobility, and postpartum recovery. One non-pharmacological intervention that can help reduce pain is sitz bath therapy (warm water immersion). This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of postpartum mothers in perineal wound care through education and the implementation of sitz bath therapy at Arinda Clinic. The methods included health education, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and mentoring in the implementation of sitz bath therapy. Evaluation was conducted using pretest and posttest assessments of participants' knowledge and observations of their ability to perform sitz bath therapy independently. The results showed improvements in participants' knowledge and skills, as well as a reduction in perineal wound pain after the implementation of sitz bath therapy. Participants were also able to perform the procedure independently and reported that the method was easy to apply during the postpartum period. Education and implementation of sitz bath therapy are simple, safe, and potentially sustainable promotive and preventive interventions to support postpartum recovery.]]>
