The appearance of perineal infection can spread to the bladder or in the birth canal which can cause complications. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of sitz bath hydrotherapy interventions and infrared therapy in repairing perineal wounds. Methods & Materials: This study is a comparative study that compares two perineal wound care therapies, namely sitz bath hydrotherapy interventions with infrared therapy Perineal wound repair assessment is performed using the southampton wound rating scale. Assessment and intervention in perineal wounds is carried out twice a day for three consecutive days. The purposive sampling technique was carried out on 20 people with sitz bath hydrotherapy interventions, and 20 people with infrared therapy using Mann-Whitney statistics. Results: Statistically proven that group 1 interventions (cold sitz bath hydrotherapy) (p = 1.00) and group 2 (infra red therapy) (p = 1.00) on the first and second day did not have a significant effect on perineal wound healing . However, cold water sitz bath hydrotherapy intervention was significantly effective in improving the perineal injury process on the third day (p value = 0.037). Conclusion: The method of treating perineal wounds with cold sitz hydrotherapy can be used as a procedure for postpartum maternal perineal repair in health care and at home.
