On the other hand, mobilization does (not have a significant relationship with lochia purulenta because the t-value is 1.194 < t table 2.056 (p-value > 0.05). Simultaneously, there is a significant relationship between X1, X2, and X3 and Y, with an F value of 5.230 > F table 2.975 (p-value < 0.05).
