Therapeutic communication is communication that is designed and planned in order to foster a relationship between midwives and patients in order to adapt to stress, prevent psychological disorders, so that patients can feel comfortable, which ultimately accelerates the patient's healing process. If the midwife is lacking in providing good communication, and the mother is less confident in her labor, then a sense of fear arises so that the pain will increase. Labor pain is caused by many factors, ranging from the muscles in the uterus, the presence of muscles that lack oxygen or hypoxia due to contractions, the process of dilation and thinning of the cervix, the uterine corpus experiencing ischemia, and stretching or dilation. This study used the chi square test with a cross-sectional study design and was quantitative. The sample in this study was 29 mothers giving birth at the Hj. Erlianawati Clinic. The results of the analysis obtained a p value = 0.001 (p <0.05), this shows that there is a significant relationship between therapeutic communication and the intensity of labor pain in the first stage. Therapeutic communication affects the reduction in the intensity of labor pain.
