Abstract

Labor pain is a physiological process with different intensity for
individuals with inconvenient disorders which result in feelings of fear
and worry. The previous research showed that of 10, 7 mothers in
labor said severe pain and even cried during contraction. The
objective of research was to analyze differences in pain intensity in
stage 1 active phase for delivering mothers given and not given
counterpressure.
This research employed quasy experimental design, that is, Static
Group Comparison Design. Independent variable was
counterpressure, and dependent variable was pain intensity in stage
1 active phase for delivering mothers. Population consisted of
estimated mothers in labor in April – Mei 2020. Sample which used
accidental sampling technique consisted 24 respondents. Research
instrument used numeric pain scales and data analysis used Paired
T Test and Independent Sample T-Test.
Statistic result showed that ,with treatment, using Paired T Test, ρ
(0,000) < α (0,05) meant Ha was accepted and without treatment ρ
(0,005) < α (0,05) meant Ha was accepted. Independent Sample TTest showed that ρ-value (0,000) < α = 0,05 meant there was
difference between those given counterpressure and not given
counterpressure.
Mothers in labor should not feel worried so that they cannot undergo
increasing pains and can control pains with counterpressure.
