The anxiousness, tired and stressed in labor can cause inadequate uterine contractions which will lead to prolonged labor, which can endanger both mother and baby.

The instrument used was behavioral observation sheet. The results of the study showed that from 8% respondents with mild pain, after given PMR method, there was 76% respondents with mild pain, and there was no unbearable pain and severe pain from 36% respondents reduced to 4%. Based on these results, there were changes in the level of pain that felt by mother after using PMR method.
