Implementation of Patient-Centered Care in Lowering Post-Cesarean Section Pain

Background: Globally, the number of cesarean section (CS) is increasing. It gives ne-gative impact on post-CS pain among women. The pain can be managed through good communication and collaboration between health workers. Patient-Centered Care (PCC) is a treatment approach that accommodates the want and need of patients while minimizing care mismatch. PCC is fundamentally an ongoing inter-professional collaboration between doctor, nurse, nutrition, pharmacy, and others. This study aimed to examine the implementation of PCC in lowering post-cesarean section pain level. Subjects and Method : This was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 44 women was randomized into two study groups: 22 women in the PCC group and 22 women in the non-PCC group. The dependent variable was post-CS pain level measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The independent variable was PCC implementation. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results : Mean of pain level in the PCC group was lower than non-PCC group, and it was statistically significant. Conclusion : Implementation of patient-centered care is effective to reduce pain level in post-cesarean section patients.
