Abstract


Introduction: The postpartum period is characterized by significant physiological changes in the mother, including uterine involution, where the uterus contracts to return to its pre-pregnancy state. Non-pharmacological methods, such as consuming pineapple, are explored to accelerate the reduction of uterine fundal height. This study aims to measure the effect of pineapple on the reduction of uterine fundal height. Methods: Quantitative quasi-experimental design, using a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group to differentiate between the intervention group and the control group. The study population consisted of postpartum mothers in the first seven days postpartum, selected through accidental sampling. Pineapples were boiled at 60°C to optimize their quality to accelerate the uterine involution process. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests, including the t-test. Results: The results showed that pineapple bleaching had a significant difference in reducing uterine fundal height with a p value of 0.000 (<0.05). The intervention group showed an average decrease of 1.29 cm greater than the control group with an average decrease of 2.71 cm. Difference decrease in TFU in balanching pineapple more large 11.46 cm compared to fresh pineapple of 9.75 cm decrease . Conclusion : The results of this study indicate that pineapple balancing can accelerate postpartum recovery effectively.
