Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Postnatal Exercise Module in improving the readiness of postpartum mothers at independent midwifery practices in Tanjungpinang.

Method: A quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group was employed, involving 30 postpartum mothers selected through hypothesis testing formulas. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets from May to August 2024. Chi-square analysis indicated a significant positive effect of the postnatal exercise module on maternal readiness to perform postnatal exercises (p < 0.001).

Findings: The study concludes that a postpartum exercise module can significantly aid uterine involution and maternal recovery, particularly in remote areas with limited healthcare access. This module can be adapted for diverse communities, enhancing recovery support for mothers with limited medical resources.

Novelty: Recent research indicates that educational interventions and postnatal exercise programs can significantly improve postpartum mothers' readiness and ability to engage in physical activities. Previous studies demonstrated that structured exercise modules could enhance mothers' knowledge regarding the importance of early mobilization and postnatal exercise, positively impacting maternal health and recovery following childbirth. Although several studies have explored the effects of physical exercise on postpartum women, few have investigated the effectiveness of specifically designed exercise modules in the Indonesian context, highlighting the need for further research.

Research Implications: The findings suggest that this module should be adopted as a key health promotion tool to improve maternal health outcomes in postpartum care.
