• The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of yellow turmeric-infusa of 5% and 10% on the healing process of perineal wound grade II. The method used in this study is quasi-experiment with Pretest–Posttest Control Group design. The sampling technique is Exhaustive Sampling according to inclusion criteria. In this research consisted of three experimental groups with two intervention groups and one control group, with the number of subjects group was 15 people. Turmeric infusa is used daily by washing in the perineal wound area two times a day for 5 days postpartum. Monitoring of grade II perineal wound was performed three times, days 1, 5, and 7 postpartum using REEDA scale assessment. Data analysis used Kruskal–Wallis and Chi-Square tests. The results showed that on the 5th and 7th postpartum days, there were differences in redness, edema, and approximation of wounds in each group (p<0.05) while the other REEDA parameters were not significantly different. There is also a difference in the time of perineal wound healing in each group, and it can be seen from the decrease and the total REEDA score. Turmeric infusa group 5% experienced healing on the 5th day postpartum, turmeric infusa 10% recovered on the 7th day postpartum, and the control group recovered more than 7 days. Giving turmeric was proven to eliminate redness, edema, accelerate the closure, and perineal wound healing time, as seen from the p-value (p<0.05). However, turmeric infusa of 5% and 10% showed better effectiveness than turmeric infusa of 5%.
