ABSTRACT

 

Background: Breastfeeding is a fundamental aspect of maternal care that offers numerous advantages to both the mother and her baby. In the initial postpartum phase, women may experience difficulties such as breast engorgement, also known as milk congestion. This condition is commonly observed among postpartum women in the city of Bandung, who may suffer from discomfort and swelling as a result of milk congestion. One effective non-medical remedy for alleviating these symptoms is the use of cabbage leaf compresses, which can minimize pain and swelling in the breasts.

Objective: To evaluate how well cold cabbage leaf compresses alleviate pain and decrease breast swelling in women after childbirth.

Method: This study employs a quantitative approach featuring a pre-experimental design with a single group undergoing pretest and posttest evaluations. The research sample consists of 30 participants selected through total sampling. Data analysis is conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test..

Results: Before applying cold cabbage leaf compresses, postpartum women reported varying levels of pain and swelling: 20 participants (66.7%) had mild breast pain, 10 participants (33.3%) experienced moderate pain, and 17 participants (56.7%) had moderate swelling, while 13 participants (43.4%) had mild swelling. After using the cold cabbage leaf compresses, 2 participants (6.7%) reported no pain, 28 participants (93.3%) experienced mild pain, and 24 participants (80%) had no swelling. Only 6 participants (20%) reported mild swelling.

Conclusion: In conclusion, applying cold cabbage leaf compresses (Brassica Oleracea) is effective in reducing both pain intensity and breast swelling in postpartum women in TPMB Y Bandung City.

Suggestion: midwives can provide cabbage leaf compresses to postpartum women with breast swelling.
