Abstract
Objective: To describe nursing care for postpartum pregnant women with episiotomy stitches at Hau Giang Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital in 2020-2021.
Subjects and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 385 postpartum women with episiotomy stitches at Hau Giang Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital from November 2020 to April 2021. The data was collected by using checklists, interviewing, and getting information from the patient's medical records.
Results: Most of patients had the episiotomy stitch classification at grade I (97.9%). 73.2% of the subjects had an episiotomy stitch at the 7 o'clock position. 73% of women had episiotomy (73.0%), most of the episiotomy was sutured with undissolved sutures. 83.4% of subjects had severe pain/severe (85.5%). However, only 26.2% had postpartum complications (common is urinary retention, postpartum haemorrhage). Outcomes of care: 69.4% of women have good knowledge of episiotomy stitches care; 98.7% of women are satisfied with the nurses in monitoring and caring for the episiotomy stitches. Most of the women had a decrease in pain on the 3rd day compared to postpartum (95.8%). Results of maternal care are good, accounting for 64.2%.
Conclusion: Nursing care for postpartum women with episiotomy stitches improved postpartum symptoms.
