Abstract

Background: Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that the postpartum phase has the highest rates of maternal death and morbidity. In the first year following childbirth, almost 50% of women experience mental health issues and declining life quality scores on the physical-emotional dimension significantly. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of postpartum yoga and pelvic floor training on the life quality of postpartum mothers.

Methods: This research was a Quasy Experimental Pre-Posttest Design of nonequivalent control groups which was conducted from February to August 2023 in Mengwi I Health Center, Badung Regency, Bali. The sample in this study consisted of 36 postpartum mothers in the control group and 36 postpartum mothers in the intervention group. Pre-data was in the form of quality of life before the intervention was given to the control and intervention groups and post-data was taken after the intervention was given and then data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney test and the Wilcoxon test.

Results: The results showed that the mean value of the increase in life quality scores in the intervention group was greater than the control group. In the 1^st domain (physical healthiness) there was a significant difference between the two groups after study (p-value = 0.000). In the 2^nd domain (psychological well-being) there was a significant difference between the two groups after study (p-value = 0.000). In the 3rd domain (social relationship) there was a significant difference between the two groups after study (p-value = 0.000). In the 4^th domain (environmental dimension) there was a significant difference between the two groups after study (p-value = 0.000). Lastly, in the 5^th domain (general healthiness) there was a significant difference between the two groups after study (p-value = 0.000).

Conclusions: There is an increase in the life quality of postpartum mothers after being given a combination of postpartum yoga and pelvic floor training.
