“…Four studies recommended post‐CS mothers to conduct a variety of exercise to enhance healing (Hussien et al., 2021 ; Vijaya Rani et al., 2016 ) (Aarthi, 2012 ; Thakur, 2020 ). Recommended exercises include basic foot and leg exercises, breathing and coughing exercises, abdominal breathing exercises, hip hitching and pelvic tilt exercises, and knee rolling exercise.…”

“…Description of exercises and duration is important to guide post‐CS mothers on how to do it. Early and progressive ambulation has been emphasized after CS section as this reduces the post‐operative risk (Vijaya Rani et al., 2016 ) of thromboembolism (Bonney, 2010 ). Additionally, exercise after CS has been found to improve mobility, reduce pain, strengthen muscle tone, promote involution of the uterus, support lochia drainage, promote gastrointestinal and urinary tract function, and enhancement of wound healing (Ain et al., 2018 ; Rana et al., 2019 ).…”

AimTo describe home‐based care and practices recommended for mothers after caesarean section (CS), existing in the literature.DesignSystematic review.MethodsThis integrative literature review was conducted by using Google Scholar, PubMed and Hinari databases from its inception to June 2021. The search included research articles, protocols and guidelines that describe home care practice after CS and assessed for their quality. Synthesis of recommendations from the included literature was classified based on the type of study design, and the review was guided by methodology registered in Prospero (ID CRD42021276905).ResultsA total of 681 literatures were found, and 12 met the criteria. Recommended home care components were divided into four major categories; wound care practice (wound cleaning, drying and bandage change); nutrition (high‐protein diet, vitamin C, fibre and balanced diet); exercise (pelvic floor muscle, walking and breathing exercise) and hygiene (bathing and wearing clean clothes). There was limited literature addressing the components of perineal care and home environment. Varying recommendations were found regarding wound cleaning and dressing in the studies done in low‐ and high‐income countries.

Background: It is recommended to all mothers to undergo post-cesarean section self-care after delivery up to six weeks. However, many mothers return to Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital as a result of getting some complications related to cesarean section. The reasons why these mothers develop these complications are not clear and possible other practices performed by delivered mothers to solve their post-delivery challenges are not yet documented. Methods: The design of this study was a descriptive cross-sectional study design and a semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from the participants. Data were collected from 150 mothers admitted to the Maternity ward of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital who formed the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study. Data was captured using Microsoft excel and analyzed using Statistical Package for social sciences (SPSS). Results: The response rate in this study was 100%. The knowledge of post-cesarean section self-care among postpartum women at MRRH in Mbarara was poor as the majority of the participants 90(60%) reported to have never heard about Post Cesarean self-care while only 60 (40%) reported having ever heard about Post Cesarean self-care and no postpartum woman was fully aware of all the aspects of PCS and only 26% could talk of more than 2 aspects of the PCS. The findings of the study also revealed that 22% (33) of the postpartum women don't perform PCS at all. This shows a low practice of PCS among postpartum women. Conclusion and recommendations: Generally, in this study, the knowledge of post-cesarean section self-care among postpartum women at MRRH in Mbarara was poor, suggesting that these postpartum women are unaware of the value of this personal health promotion tool.
