Abstract

The discomfort and pain that women endure during childbirth makes them feel uneasy and upset. An excessive amount of pain will interfere with the smoothness of the delivery process. It is crucial to manage the mother's pain in order to reduce the effect it has on the delivery's smoothness. Relaxation methods are one non-pharmacological approach to lessen the discomfort of labor. Mothers become calmer during the process of relaxation, which involves allowing the body and mind to recover from all physical and mental stressors. Additionally, relaxation increases blood flow to the uterus, placenta, and fetus. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of breathing relaxation methods on the pain intensity experienced by moms during active phase 1 labor. A pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest method is used in the study design. The sampling method employs unintentional sampling of thirty mothers who gave birth at GMIM Siloam Sonder Hospital. When the Wilcoxon test was used in the analysis, the p-value was found to be 0.000, which is less than 0.05. At GMIM Siloam Sonder General Hospital, this indicates that Ha is accepted, which means that during the first stage of active labor, the intensity of pain is influenced by breathing relaxation techniques.
