PENGARUH PEMBERIAN DAUN BINAHONG (ANREDERA CORDIFOLIA) TERHADAP PENYEMBUHAN LUKA
PERINEUM PADA IBU NIFAS

ABSTRAK
Luka perineum merupakan salah satu kondisi yang sering dialami oleh ibu nifas setelah persalinan pervaginam, baik akibat ruptur perineum maupun tindakan episiotomi. Proses penyembuhan luka perineum terdiri dari beberapa fase yaitu inflamasi, proliferasi, dan maturasi. Penatalaksanaan luka perineum dapat dilakukan secara farmakologis maupun nonfarmakologis. Secara farmakologis, umumnya digunakan antiseptik atau antibiotik untuk mencegah infeksi. Secara nonfarmakologis yang dapat digunakan adalah daun binahong (Anredera cordifolia). Selain daun binahong, terdapat beberapa tanaman herbal lain yang sering digunakan dalam perawatan luka perineum seperti daun sirih, daun kelor, lidah buaya, dan daun kubis. Namun, berdasarkan beberapa penelitian, daun binahong dinilai lebih efektif dalam mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka karena memiliki kandungan senyawa aktif yang lebih lengkap, seperti flavonoid, saponin, alkaloid, terpenoid, dan asam askorbat yang berperan sebagai antibakteri, antiinflamasi, antioksidan, serta mampu merangsang pembentukan kolagen dan regenerasi jaringan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode systematic literature review dengan menelaah berbagai artikel penelitian yang diperoleh melalui Google Scholar tahun 20212025. Hasil literature review menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar penelitian menyatakan pemberian daun binahong dapat mempercepat penyembuhan luka perineum pada ibu nifas selama

THE EFFECT OF BINAHONG LEAVES (ANREDERA CORDIFOLIA) ON PERINEAL WOUND HEALING IN POSTPARTUM MOTHERS
ABSTRACT

Perineal wounds are one of the most common conditions experienced by postpartum mothers following vaginal delivery, particularly in cases involving perineal tears or episiotomy. The healing process of a perineal wound consists of several phases, namely inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. Management of perineal wounds can be carried out through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Pharmacologically, antiseptics or antibiotics are commonly used to prevent infection. One non-pharmacological alternative that can be used is binahong leaf (Anredera cordifolia). In addition to binahong leaves, several other herbal plants are commonly used in perineal wound care, including betel leaves, moringa leaves, aloe vera, and cabbage leaves. However, based on several studies, binahong leaves are considered more effective in accelerating the wound-healing process because they contain a more comprehensive range of active compounds, such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, and ascorbic acid. These compounds have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and can stimulate collagen formation and tissue regeneration. This study employed a systematic literature review method by examining various research articles obtained through Google Scholar published between 2021 and 2025. The results of the literature review showed that most studies reported that the application of binahong leaves was can accelerating the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum women of less than seven days compared with conventional care. Therefore, binahong leaves can be considered a complementary non-pharmacological therapeutic alternative that is safe, readily available, economical, and accelerate the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum women.
