Summary

Although the postpartum period is generally considered a positive experience, obstetric interventions such as episiotomy may lead to significant maternal health problems. Episiotomy, a surgical incision performed on the perineum during the second stage of labor, remains widely used despite World Health Organization recommendations to limit its rate. Episiotomy-related complications, including pain, infection, bleeding, and dyspareunia, can negatively affect wound healing, quality of life, and postpartum sexual health. Proper episiotomy wound care and education are therefore essential components of postpartum care. This study aims to evaluate the effect of an artificial intelligence-supported video education on episiotomy wound healing and postpartum sexual quality of life. The findings are expected to contribute to improved postpartum care practices and guide future research in this field.

Control

Women in the control group will receive routine postpartum and episiotomy care provided by midwives before discharge, in accordance with standard hospital practices. No additional educational or AI-assisted video intervention will be provided to this group.

BEHAVIORAL

AI-Assisted Episiotomy Care Video Group

Women in the intervention group will receive routine postpartum care and an AI-assisted educational video about effective breastfeeding within the first 30 minutes after birth. The video includes information on the importance of early breastfeeding, correct breastfeeding positions, and techniques to increase milk production.
