Background: Caesarean section is one of the most common interventions to overcome labor complications. However, pain cannot be avoided after the surgery. Lavender aromatherapy is considered as one of non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain and increase beta-endorphin levels.Objective: To examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on the intensity of pain and beta-endorphin levels in post-caesarean mothers.Methods: This was a quasy-experimental study with pretest and posttest with control group at Sembiring Delitua General Hospital on December 2016 to February 2017. There were 40 samples selected using purposive sampling, with 20 samples assigned in the experiment and control group. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure pain and ELIZA methods to measure beta-endorphin levels. Independent t-test and paired t-test were used for data analysisResults: Results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the mean value of pain intensity levels (p=0.000) and beta-endorphin levels (p=0.023) between experiment and control group.Conclusion: There was a significant effect of lavender aromatherapy on the decrease of pain intensity and the increase of beta-endorphin hormone in post-caesarean mothers. It is expected that lavender aromatherapy can be used as an alternative treatment to reduce pain and increase beta-endorphin levels in post-caesarean mothers.

This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design in the BPM Working Area of the Polonia Health Center. The sampling technique in this study was a purposive sample with as many as 20 respondents. Pain intensity will be measured using NRS (Numeric Rating Scale). And it was found that being given a deep back massage with lavender oil had an effect on reducing labor pain and it was good to do it when the mother gave birth who had entered the active phase because it could provide physiological and psychological benefits.
