The Effects of Petroleum Jelly Perineum Massage on Episiotomy and Perineum Healing in the 1st Stage of Labour: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Öz: Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of perineal massage on petroleum jelly episiotomy and perineal healing in nulliparous women. Method: The single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 90 nulliparous women. In the interventions group, perineal massage was performed with petroleum jelly and without petroleum jelly from the active phase of labor. Control group no interventions were performed. Results: Perineal massage with petroleum jelly in the intervention group significantly decreased the rate of episiotomies (40%) compared to another group (p<0.01). In the control group, the mean labor time was 10 hours 52 min, while in the perineal massage group with petroleum jelly, this duration was determined to be 9 hours 32 min (p<0.01). The rates of redness (30%), edema (13.3%), and ecchymosis (3.3%) were statistically significantly higher in the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion: Perineal massage with petroleum jelly could be suggested as an effective method to decrease the rate of episiotomy and labor time in vaginal labor.
