Effect of Heat Compresses Hydrotherapy to Reduction of Pain Labor Stage 1st

Abstract

Labor pain is an unpleasant stimulus that causes fear and worry. This situation will be stimulate an increase in catecholamineswhich can be cause interference with the strength of uterine contractions so that uterine insertion occurs if not corrected, which will be cause prolonged labor, so that’s necessary to prevent maternal care in the form of methods of pain transfer The One non-pharmacological method is heat compresshydrotherapy. The type of research was used Quasi Experimental withcross sectional approach one group pretest-posttest design. The results of data analysis stated that sig (p) = 0,000 where α = 0.05, p <α, means that therewas an effect of giving heat compress hydrotherapy to the reduction of labor pain in the active phase. Correlation or influence using Wilcoxon Correlation =-0.382.

Trend of Non-Pharmacological Therapy for First Phase of Active Labor Pain: A Pilot Study

“…Warmth also stimulates nerve fibers that close the pain gate so that the transmission of pain impulses to the spinal cord and brain can be inhibited. 14,17 Meanwhile, according to Susiloningtyas et al (2019), warm compresses on the tissues stimulate circulation and increase the localization of purulent materials. 18 In addition, the stimulation of hot or warm compresses can elicit different physiological responses.…”
