Labor pain must be felt very
uncomfortable in almost all women. If this is not handled, other problems will
arise that can increase complications such as fatigue, anxiety, old partus
until it has to lead to surgery. Efforts are needed to empower women and
develop methods to reduce labor pain. Through the selection of labor positions
vertically and heat therapy methods facilitated by ergonomic delivery chairs,
heat pillow thermotherapy, it is expected to help reduce pain sensations so
that labor can be made more comfortable for maternity mothers. In this analysis
a comparison of the effect of ergonomic maternity chair heat pillow
thermotherapy on the pain intensity and duration of labor pain of first and
second labor stages. The Results of this
study show that pain intensity score in second stages (4,60) was significantly
lower than in first labor stages (4,95) (p=0,000). In addition, there was a
statistical difference in the duration of pain between the first stage (23,20) seconds
which was lower than the second labor stages (28,45) (p=0,005). The use of
ergonomic maternity chair heat pillow thermotherapy chairs with a temperature
of 38° C - 44° C for 30 minutes has an effect on reducing pain intensity and
duration of labor pain of first and second labor stages.
