Abstract
Background Wellbeing among postpartum women needs to
be assessed. This article aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of
photobiomodulation near infrared as a cultural nursing intervention
for postpartum women in Indonesia.
Methods A research and development study design was undertaken
from 2018 to 2020 in three stages to evaluate the effectiveness of
photobiomodulation near infrared: a phenomenological study (n=20), a
pre-experimental study (n=80) and a quasi-experimental design (n=90).
Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and a Kruskal–Wallis test.
Results Three themes emerged from the qualitative study that
focused on development tools. Photobiomodulation near infrared
was developed to cover postpartum women’s needs. Significant
statistical differences were found in multiple outcome measures after
implementing photobiomodulation near infrared.
Conclusions Photobiomodulation near infrared is a promising
