The efficient production of breast milk during the postpartum phase is crucial for the success of exclusive Perineal sores are prevalent complications in postpartum moms, potentially leading to pain, discomfort, and an increased risk of infection if inadequately managed. A decoction of betel leaves, which possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, is a supplemental therapy applicable in perineal wound care. This study is to assess the impact of betel leaf decoction administration on the rate of perineal wound healing at RSUD Batu Binakang. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest methodology. The research sample comprised 30 postpartum moms with perineal lesions, recruited by purposive sampling methodology. Data were gathered utilizing a perineal wound recovery observation sheet prior to and during the intervention. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. The research findings indicate that the mean perineal wound score prior to the intervention was 6.20, which diminished to 2.43 post-intervention, resulting in an average difference of 3.77. The majority of responders exhibited accelerated wound recovery, with 27 individuals (90.0%) demonstrating improvement, whilst 3 individuals (10.0%) reported no change. The statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.000 or p < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of betel leaf decoction on the rate of perineal wound recovery. This study concludes that the administration of betel leaf decoction influences the rate of perineal wound healing in postpartum moms at RSUD Batu Binakang.
