Introduction: Labor pain is one of the greatest pains experienced by a woman in their life. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of acupressure and Quranic recital on labor pain reduction.Methods: The study design uses quasi-experiment with comparison between pretest and posttest on non-equivalent control group. Samples were as many as 30 laboring mothers in each group, totaling 60 samples who had been chosen through consecutive sampling technique. The labor pain was assessed through the NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) then analyzed univariately with mean and standard deviation, followed by independent T-sample statistical test such as bivariate analysis.Results: The average pain reduction score in the Hegu LI 4 acupressure group was higher than the Quranic recital of Surah Ar-Rahman group. The acupressure group average pain reduction was 3.03 ± 0.718 while the Quranic recital group was 2.57 ± 1.006. The difference in the average score of independent T-test was significant with the P < 0.007 and 95% C.I. -0.919-( -0.015)Conclusion: Hegu LI 4 acupressure and Quranic recital of Surah Ar-Rahman treatments were promising and may be utilized to reduce labor pain intensity within labor’s first stage active phase. Hegu LI 4 acupressure group   had a greater reduction in labor pain intensity than the Quranic recital of Surah Ar-Rahman group. This study suggests that Hegu LI 4 can be utilized to reduce labor pain as a non-pharmacological therapy.

Childbirth and birth is a physiological process that must be experienced by a mother. Pain during labor is caused by the first stage of labor in which contractions cause dilation and thinning of the cervix and uterine ischemia due to contraction of the myometrial arteries. These contractions cause the opening of the cervix to begin labor. Various attempts are made to reduce labor pain, both pharmacologically and non-pharmacological. The non-pharmacological method applied is a distraction with birth balls. The research aims to prove the effectiveness of the use of birthing ball on the reduction of labor pain in the first stage of labor in the active phase. This study used an experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample was 20 maternity mothers at the Lompoe Health Center, who received treatment and 20 people as control samples. It applied the purposive sampling technique. The instrument of observation was the pain scale using the Faces Pain Rating Scale. Data processing using the Wilcoxon-test to determine the effect of the treatment given. Based on the results of the bivariate analysis showed that the value of Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) is <0,001. Therefore,  the value of Sig<0,001 <value of α=0.05 which means that Ha was accepted. In conclusion, there is an influence of using the birthing ball to reduce the level of pain in the first stage of labor in the active mother.

Introduction: Labor pain is a challenging issue for nurses designing intervention protocols. Touch and massage therapy is one of non-pharmacology approaches that they could do during labor process. The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness in reducing pain intensity scale on the labor during first stage of active phase. Methods: A quasi-experimental approach was conducted and a purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 56 women who expected to have normal childbirth at a public hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. They randomly assigned to either received touch and massage intervention (experiment) or not (control). The labor pain intensity was using Verbal Description Scale (VDS) with descriptive statistics, paired, and independent t-test. Results: The result showed that touch and massage therapy had a significant impact on the experimental group (tcalI 2.839, p<0.05). A significant difference also showed among the experimental dan control group during pre-test (tcalI 1.817, p>0.05) and post-test (tcalI 10.77, p<0.05). The study found that a combination of touch and massage therapy was effective to reduce labor pain during active stage. Conclusions: Touch and massage therapy can reduce labor pain intensity, and at the same time serve as closeness and encouragement during the first stage of active phase. It is a cost-effective nursing intervention and can positively influence the quality of women’s birth experiences.

Pain is a natural process in labor. The response of pain is different between one and another it is influenced by factors depended in body’s resistance mechanism since labor process. The factors are age, gender, pain’s mean, attention, previous experience, coping style, family’s support, afraid, worried, personality, fatigue, culture and social. Acupressure is one of the best non-pharmacology techniques in easiest management of labor pain, cheapest, and can be done by all of people because needs only two hands in therapy implementation. The objective of this research is to identify the influence af acupressure therapy on hands to labor pain of active phase in period I. This research was queasy experiment with non-equivalent pretest-posttest design. The population of this research was inpartu woman at PMB. Ratri Restuni, S.ST Samarinda. The sampling technique used non random sampling technique; it was the sampling quota of 15 people in intervention group and 15 people in control group. Data collection was obtained by doing interview and giving acupressure. The research finding shows that there is significant differences between pain scale before and after intervention in intervention group with t-value = 11,117 and p-value 0,05, in average pain scale of intervention group before and after intervention is 68.7, it decreases to 4.37, control group is 6.80 and there is no decreasing; the average period of this is 13 minutes and then increasing again. Acupressure therapy has to be applied in giving inpartu care in period I of active phase to decrease labor pain. For next researchers, they are expected to do more research by taking other variables that can influence labor pain; which are coping, family support, and personality.

Labor pain is a physiological condition that most experienced by all women giving birth. Labor pain of the active phase is caused by cervical dilatation and distention of the uterine corpus. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences of acupressure effect on the combination of BL32 (Ciliao) and LI4 (Hegu) points with BL32 (Ciliao) and SP6 points (Sanyinjiao) toward the intensity of labor pain. The research design used Quasy Experiment with the approach of Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design with the Purposive Sampling technique. The population of this study was all maternity women at PMB Siti Zulaikah Jogoroto Jombang. The sample in this study was 22 respondents who include to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pain scale instrument used was the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The data were analyzed by using Paired T-Test and Independent T-Test with α ≤ 0.05. The results have shown that there was an effect of acupressure in both intervention groups on the intensity of labor pain with a value of p = 0.000 (p <0.05). There were no differences in the influence between the two intervention groups (4.09 ± 1.044 vs 4.82 ± 0.982; p = 0.108 (p>0.05). Acupressure on BL32 (Ciliao) and LI4 (Hegu) point combinations with BL32 points (Ciliao) and SP6 point (Sanyinjiao) effectively reduce the intensity of labor pain so it can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention in reducing labor pain intensity.

The present study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in treating pain and subjective distress of patients with cancer. A randomized controlled trial was performed on patients with cancer suffering from moderate to severe cancer pain in Yasuj, Iran, in 2019 and 2020. Sixty patients aged 30–60 years who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected using a consensus sampling technique. Patients were randomly assigned to EMDR therapy or control groups based on random block allocation. EMDR therapy was administered in six to eight daily 1-hour sessions. The control group received the standard treatment provided by the hospital. A Numeric Pain-Rating Scale (NRS) and the Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale (SUDS) were used to assess pain and subjective distress before and after the intervention in each session. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and independent t test using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. The mean pain intensity and subjective distress score in the experimental group before and after the EMDR intervention were significantly reduced (p < .001). In the control group, no decreases in NRS and SUDS scores occurred at any time (p > .05). Differences in pain scores between the groups were statistically significant (p < .001). EMDR can effectively and sustainably reduce the pain and subjective distress experienced by patients with cancer. Thus, EMDR is a recommended therapeutic option to mitigate pain and subjective distress among patients with cancer.
