ABSTRACT: Pain during labor is
a physiologic process. Non-pharmacological therapy can be used to reduce pain
during labor as massage is kneading and counterpressure technique. Women who
get massage metodh during labor has decreased anxiety, pain reduction was
significantly shorter. This study aims to compare the effect of kneading and
counterpressure massage technique to decrease the intensity of pain the first
stage of the active phase of normal deliveries before and after intervention.
Type of research is a quasi-experiments that are two-group pretest posttest
design comparrison. Analysis of the data used is dependent t-test and
t-independent. The study was conducted at 60 maternal first stage of active
phase is divided into two groups, 30 people were treated with kneading technique
and 30 people were treated with counterpressure technique. From the dependent t
test result on the kneading group there is a difference M ± SD = 2.00 ± 0.983,
the counterpressure group differences M ± SD = 2.14 ± 1,383. It can be
concluded there was significant difference between pain intensity before and
after a massage (p = 0,000). While theindependent t test result on the
reduction of pain intensity differences between groups obtained after the
massage done t(df) = 0,889(58) and p = 0,379. There was no significant
difference in the mean reduction in pain intensity of the first stage the
active phase of normal deliveries are done kneading and counterpressure
technique. Nevertheless counterpressure more advisable to reduce labor pain the
first stage of the active phase due to work directly on neural pathways for the
perception of labor pain.
