Abstract

Background: Caesarean section delivery is carried out not only based on medical indications but also non-medical ones. Caesarean section delivery has an impact on both the mother and fetus. The risk of delivery with caesarean section is three times greater than with normal delivery.

Purpose: To determine the effect of a footbath on postpartum pain after cesarean section.

Method: Descriptive case study with a nursing process approach which includes assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation.

Results: Footbath for 20 minutes at a time can make the patient more relaxed and calm the patient. This therapy can lower the postpartum pain scale from 5 to 3.

Conclusion: Footbath or soaking the feet in warm water can reduce postpartum pain after a cesarean section. This therapy is recommended as an additional intervention to reduce pain in post-cesarean section mothers.
