Abstract
Background: Non-Hodgkin's The current study aims to study the effectiveness of
Betadine versus Normal saline dressing on episiotomy wound healing. A quasi experimental
study included a Simple random sample of 160 postnatal women (80 mothers used saline dressing
and 80 mothers used povid one iodine solution (10%) who had normal vaginal delivery with
episiotomy from Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital). Three tools were used for data
collection; I. Structured-interviewing questionnaire sheet, II. Standardized REEDA scale and III.
Visual Analogue Scale. The results revealed that normal saline had a positive effect on the
healing of episiotomy wound among postnatal mothers in form of lower REEDA scale score and
pain scores (VAS). The study recommended that; educational session to increase women
awareness about use of normal saline after episiotomy in form of leaflet or counseling session
should be adopted. There should be integration of the saline dressing as a main part in discharge
plan. Further researches to replicate the study on large sample to determine the factors affecting
episiotomy wound healing should be applied.
