fish such as milkfish (Waryana, 2010, p.76). The 
advantage of Gabus fish has a high protein, protein 
content per 100 grams of Gabus fish. 
According to the Basic Health Research (2013) 
Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is 250 
per 100,000 live births (KH). More than 500,000 
Indonesian women die every year. 18,000 deaths 
occurred during childbirth caused by bleeding, birth 
canal infections, pregnancy poisoning and other 
illnesses suffered by the mother. According to the 
Basic Health Research (2013) delivery rates in North 
Sumatra province were 45937 deliveries with sectio 
caesarea delivery at 9253 (20.1%) with infection 
rates after birth of sectio caesarea ranging between 
3-5% (Mappaware, 2014). 
A good level of protein consumption is needed 
for the wound healing process. In the end, with a 
good consumption pattern and protein consumption 
level, it is hoped that the wound healing process can 
run perfectly, and avoid the problem of postnatal 
infection due to post-cesarean wounds. One of them 
is by consuming gabus fish (Purwaningsih, 2010). 
Research conducted by Fitriyani (2016) with 
titled "Gabus Fish Extract to Accelerate Post 
Cesarean Wound Recovery." This research shows 
that Gabus fish extract significantly influences the 
speed of wound healing in all objects with 
inflammatory symptoms and faster wound 
conditions. According to Ulandari et al (2011) 
Gabus fish has benefits such as increasing albumin 
levels and endurance, accelerating the process of 
healing internal and external wounds. Whereas one 
of the factors in the process of accelerating wound 
healing that it requires high protein found in Gabus 
fish. The phenomenon that develops in the 
community of North Sumatra Particularly in Deli 
Serdang Regency today that there are still many 
myths in the community that affect the health of 
postpartum mothers, such as it does not allow to 
consume food such as eggs, meat, shrimp because it 
will aggravate stitches; though these foods are very 
important for the wound healing process. Besides 
that, the majority of Deli Serdang Regency people 
have Gabus fish pond waters because of affordable 
and easy to obtain reasons and the call of health 
workers who advise post partum mothers to use 
Gabus fish in healing post-operative wounds 
because the Gabus fish content contains protein and 
albumin which is very important for health 
(Ghufran, 2010, p.93). Based on research on amino 
acids in gabus fish triggers the production of 
collagen which can increase the strength and 
elasticity of the skin. Assisted by the presence of 
glycine, arachidonic acid and fatty acids, gabus fish 
has been proven to help accelerate wound healing. 
By consuming gabus fish regularly and regularly can 
also provide anti-pain effects. In one study it was 
said that gabus fish had a content that could increase 
the antinociceptive effect.  
The effect is able to relieve the pain that occurs 
due to injury. 
Not only limited to that, anti-pain medication 
combined with consumption of gabus fish also 
provides a more maximum effect. The study said 
that the administration of gabus fish extract can 
reduce the intensity of pain felt by patients after 
surgery. 
Based on research that has been done revealed 
that gabus fish has the highest albumin content 
compared to sea fish and other freshwater fish like 
catfish and carp. Albumin is one important types of 
proteins needed by the human body every day even 
in the process of healing wounds. Fish gabus has 
strategic potential as well as its uses widespread in 
the food and pharmaceutical industries. Albumin is a 
blood plasma protein which is synthesized in the 
heart and plays an important role in guarding plasma 
osmotic pressure, transporting molecules small 
plasma as well as extra fluid cells as well binding 
drugs. In addition, albumin can be used to overcome 
various diseases especially those due to the reduced 
amount of blood protein, like burns, broken bones, 
post surgery, and lung infections. Suprayitno 
(2008a) stated gabus fish albumin have a much 
better quality than egg albumin commonly used in 
healing post-surgical patients. Gabus fish itself, 
contains 6.2% albumin and 0.001741% Zn with 
essential amino acids namely threonine,valine, 
methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, 
lysine, histidine, and arginine. As well as non-
essential amino acids including aspartic acid, serine, 
glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, cysteine, thyroxine, 
hydroxilisin, ammonia, hydroxyproline, and proline. 
Related to the content of albumin contained there 
gabus fish, obtained data that contains fish albumin 
male gabus by 6.7% lower than fish female gabus 
that has an albumin level of 8.2%. Albumin which 
has such a big role, until now it is still imported in 
the form of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) which is 
very expensive. For get crude albumin, can be done 
with steaming or vacuum extractor to obtain better 
yield and quality. Gabus fish through his albumin as 
a compiler of HSA can be used as an alternative 
availability of nutrients in order to improve nutrition 
Indonesian people without using big costs 
(Moedjiharto, 2008). The study was conducted in the 
treatment of patients using gabus fish that is steamed 
for 60 minutes and filtered the water, then drink it in 
the patientmpostoperatively for 8 days. The result 
will be a patient's wound heal faster and without side
