Abstract

This study examines how an educational program combined with red betel extract salve application affects postpartum
mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward perineal care,
focusing on Grade 2 perineal lacerations. With 80
participants split evenly between intervention and control
groups, those in the intervention group received education and salve application, leading to significantly improved
knowledge and attitudes compared to the control group,

which followed standard care protocols. Specifically, the
mean knowledge score for the intervention group increased
from 7.48 to 9.70 post-intervention, while the control group's

knowledge score remained stable at 7.08 (p < 0.001). In
terms of attitudes, the intervention group displayed a
significantly more positive attitude, with a mean attitude
score of 39.12 post-intervention, compared to the control
group's score of 35.52 (p < 0.001).
These results highlight the potential of educational
interventions to substantially improve both knowledge
and attitudes related to perineal care among postpartum
mothers. These findings contribute to advancing
postpartum care practices, benefiting the overall well-
being of postpartum mothers during this pivotal stage of
their maternal journey.
