Most maternal deaths occur during the puerperium period so that health workers should be more careful in handling postpartum mothers. There were 8 of the 10 (80%) normal primiparous postpartum mothers in the Aura Syifa Hospital Puerperal Room who did not know about the danger signs during the puerperium. Providing information and health education regarding danger signs during puerperium is one of the efforts in dealing with this. Health education is carried out using the media of leaflets, booklets, flipcharts, and audiovisuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in health education about danger signs during puerperium using flip chart and leaflet media on knowledge of postpartum mothers in Aura Syifa  Hospital Kediri.
