Postpartum period is distinct in to three phases. The third phase is the postpartum period which can last up to 6 weeks. Some changes to the genitourinary system are much longer in resolving and some may never fully revert to the prepregnant state. A comparative study to assess the effectiveness of betadine sitz bath versus neem extract sitz bath on episiotomy wound healing among primi postnatal mothers, in kasturba hospital at Dindugal. The data was collected at kasturba hospital – Dindugal for a period of four weeks . The investigator has obtained written permission from the hospital medical officer and nursing superindent. 0ral permission was obtained from the each participants prior to the study. The purpose of the study was explained to the subjects prior to the study.. The investigator selected 60 samples on the basis of inclusion criteria,and the samples were divided in to two groups(I&II) . Among that 30 samples were experimental group I and other 30 samples were experimental group II , who met the inclusion criteria were selected by purposive sampling technique. The first two weeks the samples for experimental group I were selected from the postnatal ward I and demographic variables were collected and pretest was conducted on the first day morning, the wound healing was assessed by REEDA scale. Then the interventation of betadine sitz bath was given for 10-15 minutes , twice a day daily (Morning & Evening) and for three days to experimental group I. Next two weeks of period ,the experimental group II was selected from the postnatal ward II and demographic variables were collected and pretest was done on the first day morning, the wound healing was assessed by REEDA scale. Then the intervention of neem extract sitzbath was given for 10-15 minutes, twice a day daily(morning&evening) for three days to experimental group II. Then the post test level of wound healing was assessed by REEDA scale. The data were analyzed and tabulated using descrptive and inferential statistics. The findings shows that the mean wound healing score in experimental group I in before betadine sitzbath is 9.3 (SD±1.104) and after Betadine sitzhbath is 0.56 (SD±0.670 ) respectively. The paired ttest value is 38.870 ,which is significant at P<0.05 level . And the mean wound healing score in experimental group II , before Neem extract sitzbath is 9.2 (SD±0.959) and after Neem extract sitzhbath is 0.23 (SD±0.424 ) respectively. The paired t-test value is 53.926 ,which is significant at P<0.05 level . The mean post test wound healing score in group I is about 0.56 (SD±0.670 ) and group II is about 0.23 (SD±0.424) respectively. The independent t-test value 2.537 which is significant at p<0.05. The results shows that there is a significant difference between the mean post test score of betadine sitzbath and mean post test score of neem extract sitzbath on episiotomy wound healing among postnatal mothers .Therefore it is clearly proved by this study that Neem Extract Sitzbath is effective more than betadine sitz bath on episiotomy wound healing.
