Abstract

A mother who gives birth to a baby with a Cesarean Section surgery usually experience pain. Early mobilization is one way to decrease pain intensity among post Cesarean Section patients. This study aims to determine the effect of early mobilization on the decrease in pain intensity among post Cesarean Section patients at Cirebon Hospital. The method used here was quasi-experimental (one group pretest-posttest design) using early mobilization intervention. The populations in this study were 46 patients. Data collection was carried out by observing pain scores among post Cesarean Section patients before intervention by using a predetermined observation sheet given to 31 patients in the Melati ward at Cirebon Hospital where samples were taken by accidental sampling. The observations were carried out before and after the intervention. The results showed that the mean score of pain among post Cesarean Section patients before intervention was 9,19 while the mean score of pain among patients with post Cesarean Section after intervention was 3.68. Thus, it could be concluded that there was a change or decrease in the mean of pain intensity among post Cesarean Section patients of 5.51. This showed that early mobilization could significantly decrease pain intensity among post Cesarean Section patients. Hypothesis test used using Wilcoxon, where P Value obtained was 0.000 or <0.05, so that H0 was rejected or Ha was accepted, or in other words there was an effect of early mobilization on the decrease in pain intensity among post Cesarean Section patients at Cirebon Hospital. Recommendation in this study was that nurses should implement early mobilization as an effort to decrease pain among post Cesarean Section patients in a non-pharmacological manner.
