The effectiveness aloe vera spray (aloe vera) on episiotomy wound healing of wistar rats

ABSTRACT Background Postpartum morbidity is caused by perineal trauma, one of which is episiotomy which can potentially cause wound infection. Episiotomy can be interpreted as cutting the perineal muscle. Currently wound care is still quite a lot using povidone iodine which has the effect of slowing down the granulation process. One of the medicinal plants that is proven to be effective in accelerating the process of wound healing and relatively safer is aloe vera. Method The type of research used is research experimental in the laboratory with post test only with group control design, carried out on 28 female white rats divided into 4 groups. The treatment is carried out every 12 hours for 7 days. Data analysis used MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variants) and continued with post hoc multiple comparisons. Results Test results MANOVA (Multivariate Analisys Of Variant) indicates p value 0,004 which means that the administration of aloe vera spray is effective in wound healing episiotomy of wistar rats significantly. Conclusion The results of the study after being given aloe vera with a concentration 3% for 7 days had an effect on granulation in wounded specimens of female white rats, so that the therapy was effectively implemented in wound healing especially those who experienced postpartum with episiotomy wounds.
