Sample: All postpartum women who experienced perineal injuries at the Second Grade clinic at T and BPM D Clinics were 20 people. Results: The average perineal wound healing using the basting technique was faster healing (15.20) than the dotted technique (17.40) . The results of the bivariate analysis stated that there was no significant difference between the healing time of the perineal hecting wound with the dotted technique and basting with a value of p = 0.271 (> 0.005). Health workers should improve their ability to handle episiotomy wounds so that they heal quickly and do not get infected
