This research method uses an experimental research type, a pre- and post-test design with a control group design.

Then, the average pain scale value in the post-test was 5.07 mg/dL in the intervention group and 6.67 mg/dL in the control group. Based on the Independent T-test, it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average level of pain between the intervention group and the control group.
