THE NEED FOR DAILY LIVING ACTIVITY IN MOTHERS WHO HAVE POST-PARTUM SECTIO CAESAREA AT KANJURUHAN REGIONAL HOSPITAL MALANG REGENCY

Abstract

Postpartum with cesarean section have the problem of frequently experiencing pain and fear if the stitches come loose during movement because surgery is carried out by opening the abdominal wall and uterine wall. This will impact fulfilling the mother's daily living activity needs. In this case, efforts are made to maintain the mother's daily living activity needs by carrying out early mobilization post-cesarean section to increase activity. This research aims to describe postpartum cesarean section mothers' daily living activity needs. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with case studies using interviews and observation techniques in collecting data with previously prepared instruments. The targets of this research were two postpartum cesarean section mothers. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in daily living activity in subjects 1 and 2, that on the first-day post-cesarean section they still needed help to carry out activities, on the second day they were able to eat, and dress independently, then on the third day subject 1 was able to carry out elimination and personal hygiene in the bathroom independently while subject 2 was accompanied by his family. Advice for both subjects is not to be afraid of carrying out post-cesarean section activities by implementing mobilization as early as possible. The recommendation for future researchers is to provide more pre and post-operative motivation to postpartum cesarean section patients.
