The results showed that using the Paired Sample T-Test analysis test obtained a p-value of 0.000 <α = 0.05, it can be concluded that there was an effect of Potato Compress on Non-Infectious Mastitis in Breastfeeding Mothers. It is recommended that health workers provide information for breastfeeding mothers about potato compresses to treat non-infectious mastitis. Keywords: Potato compress; non-infectious mastitis.
