Abstract

Pain during labour is physiological, associated with contractions experienced by childbearing women, different responses to pain, and inability to adapt to pain during the first stage of labor which may lead to other problems during childbirth. Acupressure is a nonpharmacological technique impelemented by giving pressure at meridian points in the body for pain management during labour. Acupressure has long been used in medication, but it has not been used in pregnancy and childbirth yet because the steps of acupressure to be analyzed are quite a lot so it is difficult to be implemented as a routine care during labour. Therefore, the meridian system and certain points focusing on reducing the pain caused by contractions during labor need to be determined; and taking into account theintensity of contractions is equally important. Specific acupressure points related to the effects of relaxation and pain reduction are meridian point BL 32 and GB 21.The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acupressure method at the point BL 32 and GB 21 to decrease the level of pain of contractions during labor. This quantitative research done using experimental design used one-group pre-post test design. The population involved women during the first stage of labour in BPM Vivi Surabaya totaling 20 respondents. Data Analysis was done using SPSS 20 and Wilcoxon Sign Rank test with α = 0.05.The result showed that labor pain decreased after acupressure. The result of Wilcoxon signed rank test with significance level α = 0.05 showed that P = 0.002 in which P < α so that H0was rejected; it means that acupressure at the meridian point BL 32 and GB 21 was effective to decrease the labor pain. Hence, midwives are expected to apply acupressure, especially at the meridian point BL 32 and GB 21 as an eDffort to reduce the pain as part of a routine care for childbearing women, especially during the first stage of labour.
