Abstract

The Malay ethnic group occupies the first position in the city of Pontianak. The customs are also attached to the majority of the people who are there and are carried out from generation to generation and are believed to be beneficial for them. The Malays believe that during the puerperium a mother's health must be very concerned, because the complications that occur during the puerperium are very dangerous for the mother and can cause death. This study aims to analyze postpartum maternal health care for Malays in Pontianak. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method through a case study approach. This research was conducted in the District of East Pontianak, in the ethnic Malay community in the Malay village. Data was collected through observation, and interviews. The results of the study showed that there were health treatments during the puerperium carried out by Malays, namely bejah, drinking herbs and decoctions, using poultice, param and pilis. There are many benefits of health care during the puerperium in Malay people, but there are also side effects and disadvantages of this health care.
