<![CDATA[Cesarean section is a surgical delivery procedure that continues to increase every year and carries the risk of postoperative complications, one of which is impaired wound healing. Suboptimal wound healing may increase the risk of infection, prolong hospitalization, and add to treatment costs. Early mobilization is a recommended nursing intervention to accelerate recovery by improving blood circulation and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the wound tissue. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early mobilization and the wound healing process in patients following cesarean section at RSU Bunda Thamrin Medan. A quantitative descriptive study with a non-experimental approach was conducted on 40 respondents selected through accidental sampling from 22 December 2025 to 30 January 2026. Data were collected using a validated 15-item questionnaire on early mobilization and an observation sheet for wound healing, and were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that 24 respondents (60.0%) performed early mobilization in the good category and 29 respondents (72.5%) experienced good wound healing. The statistical test produced a p-value of 0.029 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between early mobilization and the wound healing process. Early mobilization should be applied in a structured and consistent manner as part of postoperative nursing care.]]>
