Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of honey on the duration of abdominal wound healing among postpartum mothers that underwent cesarean. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only control group design was used. The participants were a total of 28 postpartum mothers with a history of cesarean section on the 3rd day and were selected by using accidental sampling. 14 women were given the intervention by compressing the wound with 5 ml of honey on sterile gauze. Meanwhile, for the control group, NaCl 0.9% solution (250 ml) was applied. The intervention was done two times a day within the distance of 12 h for seven days in a row. The observation was done based on REEDA scale. Results: The results showed that the wounds in women who got the honey intervention healed faster compared to the control group. Based on the statistical test results from the Pearson Chi-Square test, a value of 0.002 was obtained. Conclusion: Tetragonula sapiens honey accelerated the healing time of post-caesarean section wounds.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Tetragonula sapiens propolis collected from North Luwu, Sulawesi, Indonesia to treat anemia in adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-test—the post-test design was applied, and 44 respondents were chosen by using purposive sampling. The respondents were divided into two groups. Each group was given iron supplement every day. For the intervention group, the respondents consumed 5 drops of propolis for three times a day. Meanwhile, for the control group, IPI vitamin C was given instead of propolis. The intervention was given for 30 d in a row. The hemoglobin (Hb) level measurement was conducted after 30 d. Results: The results showed that the Hb levels of the intervention group were higher compared to the control group after propolis was given for 30 d. The result of the analysis showed a significant value of (2-tailed) 0.000<0.05. Conclusion: Tetragonula sapiens propolis could be used to increase the Hb levels in anemic adolescent girl.
