Kualitas Pemulihan Pasien Sectio Caesarea dengan Metode ERACS

Abstract

Introduction. Cesarean surgery may result in several outcomes that affect patient comfort, such as postoperative pain, impaired mobilization and breastfeeding, digestive dysfunction, and prolonged hospitalization. To overcome these outcomes, the ERACS method can be implemented—a technique designed to enhance postoperative recovery quality in cesarean section patients. Objective. This study aimed to describe the recovery quality of cesarean section patients undergoing the ERACS method. Method. This research employed a descriptive design with a cross- sectional approach. The study was conducted at Prof. dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan, 20155 and Imelda Pekerja Indonesia Hospital from August to October 2025 involving 30 cesarean section patients using the ERACS method. Data collected included recovery quality, pain scale, mobilization, length of stay, and patient satisfaction. Results. The participants were all female with an average age of 31.32 years, most of whom were multiparous (56.7%), and the mean time to first oral intake was 4.83 ± 2.001 hours post-surgery. This research showed a good recovery quality (90%), moderate pain scale (53.3%), mean mobilization initiation time of 7.97 ± 2.008 hours postoperatively, mean length of stay of 2.20 ± 0.407 days, and high satisfaction (76.7%) with the cesarean section using the ERACS method. Conclusion. Cesarean section procedures using the ERACS method can accelerate recovery and result in good patient recovery quality.
