ABSTRACT . 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 General hospital at mehsana. OBJECTIVE: 1.To Assess the episiotomy wound healing level. 2.To evaluate the effectiveness of Betadine sitzbath (experimental group I) on episiotomy wound healing. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of Neem extract sitzbath (experimental group II) on episiotomy wound. 4. To compare the level of wound healing among postnatal mothers between experimental group I&II. 5. To find out the association between the post test level of episiotomy wound healing scores with their selected demographic variables in experimental group I (Betadine sitzbath) & experimental group II(Neem extract sitzbath). Method: The data was collected at General hospital at mehsana for a period of four weeks .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 convenient sampling technique. Result:The data were analyzed and tabulated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings shows that the mean wound healing score in experimental group I in before Betadine sitzbath is 3.40 (SD±2.61) and after Betadine sitzhbath is 0.83 (SD±1.53) respectively. The paired t-test value is5.71, which is significant at P<0.05Level. And the mean wound healing score in experimental group II , before Neem extract sitzbath is 2.93 (SD±1.98) and after Neem extract sitzhbath is 0.37 (SD±1.03 ) respectively. The paired t test value is 8.60 , 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.
