Abstrak

Labor pain is a common problem for mothers in labor and can affect the delivery process both physically and psychologically. One of the non-pharmacological methods that can be used to help mothers cope with pain is Counter Pressure Massage. This study aimed to determine the effect of Counter Pressure Massage in adapting to labor pain during the first stage of the active phase. This research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 34 mothers in the first stage of active labor selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention involved teaching Counter Pressure Massage for approximately 20 minutes. The results showed a significant decrease in pain intensity after the intervention. Before the intervention, most respondents experienced severe controlled pain (82.4%) and moderate pain (17.6%). After the intervention, the percentage of respondents experiencing moderate pain increased to 94.1%, mild pain to 5.9%, and severe pain decreased to 0%. The Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of p=0.000(p<0.05), indicating a significant effect of  Counter Pressure Massage in adapting to labor pain in the first stage of the active phase. These results suggest that Counter Pressure Massage is an effective, safe, affordable, and easily applicable non-pharmacological intervention for healthcare professionals to help mothers manage labor pain.
