Abstract

Caesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure involving an incision through the abdominal and uterine walls to deliver the fetus. This procedure disrupts tissues, blood vessels, and nerves, often resulting in postoperative pain. Pain management strategies include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Foot massage is one non-pharmacological approach involving skin stimulation techniques. To examine the application of foot massage therapy in reducing pain among post-C-section patients. This research used a descriptive case study design and was conducted at RSUD Labuang Baji Hospital, Makassar, over six days. Two participants who met the inclusion criteria (first-day post-C-section, aged 20–30, moderate pain level) were selected. Exclusion criteria included uncooperative behavior, loss of consciousness, or severe bleeding. Data collection involved interviews, observations, and documentation. Instruments included a standard operating procedure (SOP) for foot massage and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain assessment. Results were presented in narrative and tabular formats. Both participants showed a reduction in pain levels after receiving foot massage therapy. Participant N reported pain decreasing from 6 to 2 over three days, while participant S experienced a decrease from 5 to 3. The decrease was more significant in participant N, who received consistent family support and practiced the therapy more regularly. Conclusion: Foot massage therapy may help reduce pain in post-C-section patients. It is recommended as a supportive, non-pharmacological option in postoperative care.

Abstract

Labor pain is a common physiological response but often causes physical and emotional discomfort, especially in the first stage of active labor. One non-pharmacological method than can be used to reduce pain is the Lamaze breathing technique. This case study was conducted to determine the application of Lamaze breathing techniques on the reduction of pain during the active phase of the first stage of labour. a descriptive case study research methodology that focuses on one of the main issues in the selected case. Inclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase 1 labour with moderate to severe pain, mothers who are responsive or in good general condition with vital signs within normal limits, mothers under 35 years of age, primiparas/multiparas, mothers with cephalic presentation. Exclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase I labour with multiple pregnancies, malpresentation, haemorrhage, high-risk pregnancies accompanied by conditions such as pre-eclampsia, heart disease, asthma, premature rupture of membranes, pelvic abnormalities. The results show that both respondents experienced a decrease in pain intensity after applying the Lamaze breathing. The mothers appeared calmer, able to control their breathing, and reduced tension during contractions. The Lamaze breathing technique is effective in helping to reduce labor pain and is worth recommending as a non-pharmacological intervention.
