Labor Pain, Acupressure Intervention, Standing Position

Description

Background: Pain is an extraordinary physiological process, and its intensity is generally experienced by
almost all mothers differently. Acupressure is one of the non-pharmacological techniques in the management
of labor pain. Another method is by employing a standing birth position.
Methods: This is A quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test groups with the sample of 36 mothers in
the acupressure intervention group and 36 others in the standing position group who were based on inclusion
and exclusion criteria with cluster sampling technique. Paired T-Test was employed to examine the effect.
Results: The average intensity of labor pain in the acupressure intervention group before the intervention
was 6.81 and after the intervention was 2.22. The average power of labor pain in the standing position group
before the intervention was 6.81 and after the intervention was 2.56.
Acupressure intervention is more effective than standing position because the average value of the difference
in degrees of pain before and after in the acupressure intervention group is 4.583, higher than the standing
position which has an average difference in the degree of pain before and 4.250.
Conclusion: The midwives can apply acupressure interventions to minimize interventions with chemical
action and drugs
