Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the cultural patterns, habits, and behavior of mothers in
overcoming postpartum problems.
Method: The study was of a qualitative design with an ethnography approach. A purposive
sampling technique was used, and data were obtained from seven participants who identified
with Palembang culture.
Result: The themes which emerged were: (1) Tiredness, drowsiness, and perineal pain were
part of the physical problems of postpartum mothers. (2) Sadness and lack of attention
were feelings that occur in postpartum mothers. (3) Traditional practices help with breast-
feeding problems and perineal pain. (4) Some traditional interventions help mothers reduce
physical problems. (5) Postpartum maternal needs are obtained from the family and commu-
nity through traditional interventions. (6) The expectation of postpartum mothers is the support
of husbands, families and health workers.
Conclusion: Mothers’ efforts to solve postpartum problems cannot be separated from habit and
the family’s culture. Health workers need to facilitate maternal care with a family culture
approach.
