“…In our study, no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) among the individuals and delivery related characteristics of the puerperals as similar studies (p>0.05), shows that equivalence between experiment and control groups was achieved and supported the study's suitability for semiexperimental design 2,9,11 . Findings showed that, the total scores of REEDA and VAS in the CG group were lower, pain and approximation at the wound edges was faster in the CG group compared to the SP group and control group.…”

“…When reviewing the literature on the care of the episiotomy wound, no scientific study was found to investigate the effect of the CG solution on the healing status of this. In the literature, it has been observed that antiseptic solutions, hot-cold applications, laser treatment, and recently aromatherapy agents are often used as care products in episiotomy care 9,12,27,28 . The discussion section was presented in the light of the limited literature on the subject due to the different methodology studies, different days of episiotomy area wound assessments and the use of different care products.…”

“…The wound should be assessed for edema, swelling, tenderness and discharge and also for localized pain. Puerperal infections are costly in terms of delayed mother infant interaction, lactation difficulties, prolonged hospital stay or readmission in hospital and increased expenses 9 . For this reason, episiotomy care is very important in preventing complications, eliminating fears and anxieties of women regarding the episiotomy and ensuring effective wound care 7,10 .…”

“…As the episiotomy has physiologic, psychologic and social-economic consequences, not only the decision to do it but also the manner of performance and the quality of future cares are important 9 . Given the scientific work on the care of the episiotomy wound, no scientific study investigating the efficacy of the CG solution, another antiseptic agent used in wound care, was observed despite antiseptic solutions such as povidone iodine and rivanol were found to be analyzed.…”

Öz Purpose: Determination of the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) solution (containing 70% alcohol) on the process of episiotomy wound healing. Materials and Methods: This is a semi-experimentally designed study with pre-test post-test control group. In the research, after the episiotomy intervention 45 puerperal, those were treated with routine hospital care formed the control group, the other 45 puerperal who were treated with Serum Physiological (SP) solution formed the 1st group and the remaining 45 puerperal who were treated with CG solution formed the 2nd treatment group. Results: When the REEDA scale of the puerperals are evaluated; The wound care with the CG solution was more effective in terms of reduction of the redness, edema, ecchymosis, and drainage in the episiotomy area and in the closure of the wound edges. Statistically lower levels of pain complaints were found in the patients who used CG solution in episiotomy treatment compared to those who received routine care and SP solution. In episiotomy treatment, the CG solution appeared to be an effective and promoting product for wound healing. Conclusion: We concluded that CG solution is an effective wound care product, which contributes to wound healing in patients with episiotomy. Amaç: Klorheksidin Glukonat (KG) solüsyonunun (%70 alkol içeren) epizyotomi yarasının iyileşme sürecine etkisini belirlemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ön test son-test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel tasarımlı bir araştırmadır. Araştırmada epizyotomi uygulaması sonrası rutin hastane bakımı yapan 45 lohusa kontrol grubunu, Serum Fizyolojik (SF) solüsyonu kullanan 45 lohusa 1. uygulama grubunu ve KG solüsyonu kullanan 45 lohusa 2. uygulama grubunu oluşturdu. Bulgular: Lohusaların REEDA skoru değerlendirildiğinde; KG solüsyonu ile yapılan yara bakımı epizyotomi bölgesinde kızarıklık, ödem, ekimoz, akıntıyı azalttı ve yara kenarlarının yaklaşmasında da KG solüsyonu ile bakımın daha etkili idi. Epizyotomi bakımında KG solüsyonu kullanan lohusaların rutin bakım alan ve SF solüsyonu ile bakım yapanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak daha düşük düzeyde ağrı deneyimlediği saptandı. Sonuç: Epizyotomi bakımında KG solüsyonunun yara iyileşmesini destekleyici ve etkin bir bakım ürünü olduğu görüldü.

BACKGROUND Postpartum period is a crucial period of caring for mothers, especially those who had undergone episiotomy. Episiotomy is the surgical incision made in the perineum during the second stage of labour. Episiotomy is very painful during puerperal period. Trauma of perineum can cause considerable distress and discomfort for many women following childbirth that can affect the mental, social and physical wellbeing of the woman. Some have postpartum pain and discomfort, which may persist beyond as chronic pain and painful sex. In addition, infection, wound breakdown, urinary and faecal incontinence and other spectrum of adverse effect of treatment of trauma in perineum can make the postpartum period very unpleasant. While factors like suture techniques, operator skills and suture materials may affect pain and wound healing, different strategies have been used in order to promote perineum wound healing.
