Comparative study to assess the effectiveness of medicated non medicated sitz bath on episiotomy wound health among the postnatal mothers

A quantitative research approach with quasi experimental design was adopted by the investigator to compare the effectiveness of medicat4d and non-medicated sitz bath on episiotomy wound healing among the postnatal mothers in selected hospitals at pudycherry. Sixty postnatal mothers were selected by simple random sampling technique. They were divided in two groups, 30 in Interventional group I with Medicated sitz bath (Butadiene 10%) and 30 in Intervention Group II with non- medicated sitz bath (105 F) were planned. The data was collected using REEDA Scale for status of episiotomy wound healing and pain was assessed by visual Analog scale. One way ANOVA computed to find out the effectiveness between the Medicated sitz bath with Non Medicated sitz bath. Findings revealed that medicated sitz bath was effective than non medicated sitz bath in reducing the pain and improving the wound healing . So the stated hypothesis were accepted by the investigator
