Effect of Free-Range Chicken Eggs on Perineal Wound Healing among Postpartum Women
10% of maternal mortality during the postpartum period are caused
by infection due to bleeding from tears in the birth canal (perineal
wound). The wound healing process is influenced by the intake of
protein-rich nutrients. Free-range chicken eggs from are a high
source of protein (Komala, 2021). This study aims to determine the
effect of free-range chicken eggs on perineal wound healing among
postpartum women. This was a pre-experimental study with intact
group comparison. There were 32 samples who were selected using
purposive sampling technique. The samples were assigned into the
Intervention Group (administered with free-range chicken eggs) and
the Control Group (were not administered with free-range chicken
eggs). Data collection was performed through direct observation of
perineal wounds using the REEDA scale score. Data were analyzed
using the Fisher Exact statistical test. The results showed that there
was a faster wound healing process among respondents who were
administered with free-range chicken eggs (81.2%) compare to those
who were not administered with free-range chicken eggs (25%) with
a p value of 0.002
