<![CDATA[Background: Early mobilization after cesarean section (CS) is essential for supporting maternal recovery and preventing complications associated with prolonged immobility, including increased body temperature, abnormal bleeding, poor uterine involution, impaired blood circulation, and increased pain. Rooming-in is a care practice in which mothers and newborns remain in the same room for 24 hours, allowing early interaction and bonding between mother and infant. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of rooming-in on early mobilization among mothers after cesarean section. Methods: This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group approach. The study involved 45 post-cesarean mothers selected as respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The findings showed that 30 respondents (66.7%) demonstrated good early mobilization, while 35 respondents (77.8%) practiced rooming-in. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test produced an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.275, which was greater than 0.05. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant effect of rooming-in on the level of early mobilization among mothers after cesarean section. Nevertheless, early mobilization and rooming-in remain important aspects of post-cesarean maternal and newborn care.]]>
