Abstract

Background: Labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor is a significant physiological and psychological challenge for women and may influence labor progression and childbirth experience. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly recommended to support maternal comfort and promote physiological labor. Warm compress therapy has been widely applied during the second stage of labor; however, evidence regarding its effectiveness during the active phase of the first stage of labor remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of warm compress therapy on labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study was conducted at PMB Erni Artiqoh, Bumi Makmur Village, involving 20 laboring women selected through total sampling. Labor pain intensity was measured using a numerical rating scale before and after the application of warm compress therapy. The intervention consisted of warm compress application at a temperature of 38–45°C for approximately 20 minutes during the active phase of labor. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The results showed a clear reduction in labor pain intensity following the intervention. Before the intervention, most participants reported severe pain levels, while after warm compress therapy, pain scores shifted to mild-to-moderate levels. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a statistically significant difference in labor pain intensity before and after the intervention (p = 0.001), indicating that warm compress therapy effectively reduced labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. Conclusion: Warm compress therapy was found to be effective in reducing labor pain during the active phase of the first stage of labor. This non-invasive, low-cost intervention can be safely integrated into routine midwifery care to enhance maternal comfort during childbirth.

Abstract

Anxiety is a physiological condition and a common experience among third-trimester primigravida pregnant womenAnxiety can be reduced or alleviated through prenatal yoga combined with classical music therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of prenatal yoga combined with classical music therapy on anxiety levels in third-trimester primigravida pregnant women. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all third-trimester primigravida pregnant women, and a sample of 10 respondents experiencing anxiety was selected. The intervention was conducted over four weeks, with a frequency of once a week and a duration of 60 minutes per session. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, with the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. Before the intervention, most participants experienced mild anxiety (50%), while after the intervention, the majority showed mild anxiety levels (80%). The bivariate test results showed a p-value of 0.005 (< α 0.05), indicating that prenatal yoga combined with classical music therapy has a significant effect on reducing anxiety levels in third-trimester primigravida pregnant women.
