Abstract

Placenta previa is an obstetric complication that can cause antepartum hemorrhage and increase the risk of
morbidity and mortality for both mother and fetus. Management of placenta previa generally requires cesarean
section, which may lead to nursing challenges such as acute pain, impaired physical mobility, and risk of surgical
wound infection. Comprehensive nursing care is essential to support postpartum recovery. This report aims to
describe the maternity nursing care process for a patient post-cesarean section with placenta previa. A case study
method was used, employing the nursing process approach on a postpartum patient who underwent cesarean
section due to placenta previa. Assessment results showed the patient experienced acute pain at the surgical site,
impaired physical mobility, and risk of surgical wound infection. Evaluation revealed decreased pain intensity,
improved mobility, and no signs of wound infection. Comprehensive and collaborative nursing care involving the
family is crucial to accelerate recovery in patients post-cesarean section with placenta previa. A holistic approach
through pain management, early mobilization, and infection prevention can enhance patient comfort and safety
during the postpartum period.
