ABSTRAK
Latar Belakang : Walaupun persalinan merupakan proses alamiah, seringkali nyeri yang
dialami saat persalinan membuat wanita merasa takut, cemas dan khawatir, sehingga
mempengaruhi proses persalinan itu sendiri yang berakibat timbulnya prolonged labour
dan neonatal asphyxia. Dimana persalinan lama merupakan komplikasi penyebab kematian
ibu yang terbanyak nomor 5 di Indonesia. Nyeri persalinan dapat mempengaruhi kondisi
ibu berupa kelelahan, rasa takut, khawatir dan dapat menimbulkan stress. Stress dapat
menyebabkan melemahnya kontraksi uterus dan berakhir pada persalinan yang lama.
Tujuan : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa efektifitas teknik abdominal lifting,
effleurage dan deep back massage dalam mengatasi nyeri saat persalinan kala 1 fase aktif
Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode one-group pretest-posttest dengan total
sampel sebanyak 30 ibu bersalin. Ada 3 kelompok yang diberi perlakuan, setiap kelompok
diberikan satu Teknik massase. Perubahan nyeri diukur dengan skala nyeri numerik.
Pengujian variabel menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dan effect size untuk melihat efisiensi
masing-masing perlakuan. Perbandingan masing-masing uji intervensi yang dilakukan
menggunakan Kruskall Wallis.
Hasil : ada perbedaan bermakna skor nyeri sebelum dan sesudah pemberian massage
abdominal lifting dengan nilai p = 0.005 (<0,05). ada perbedaan bermakna skor nyeri
sebelum dan sesudah pemberian massage effleurage dengan nilai p = 0,011 (p<0,05). ada
perbedaan bermakna skor nyeri sebelum dan sesudah pemberian Deep Back Masaage
dengan nilai p = 0,004 (p<0,005). Hasil penghitungan size effect untuk teknik Abdominal
Lifting menunjukkan efek sedang dengan nilai d=0.67. Sedangkan untuk teknik effleurage
dan deep back massage menunjukkan dampak yang kuat dengan nilai d >2,00. tidak ada
perbedaan bermakna skor nyeri sesudah pemberian perlakuan antara ketiga kelompok
dengan nilai p = 0,080 (p >0,05).
Kesimpulan : abdominal lifting, effleurage, dan deep back massage berkontribusi dan
efektif untuk menurunkan nyeri persalinan Kala I fase Aktif. Deep back massage adalah
Teknik yang paling efektif (diantara ketiga Teknik) untuk menurunkan nyeri persalinan
Kala I aktif. Tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna antara ketiga Teknik massage dalam
menurunkan nyeri persalinan.

ABSTRACT
Background : Although childbirth is a natural process, the time of childbirth makes women
feel afraid, anxious and anxious, thus affecting the labor process which results in prolonged
labor and neonatal asphyxia. Where prolonged labor is a complication of the cause of
maternal death which is the fifth largest in Indonesia. Labor pain can affect the condition

the uterine contractions to weaken and lead to prolonged labor.
Abdominal lifting, effleurage, and deep back massages effective in reducing pain during active phase of first stage labor 175
Objectives : This study was to analyze the effectiveness of abdominal lifting, effleurage and
deep back massage techniques in reducing pain during active phase of first stage labor.
Methods : This study used one-group pretest-posttest design method with a total
sample of 30 Participants mother in labor. There were 3 groups that were given
treatment, each group was given one massage technique. Change in pain was measured
by a numerical pain scale. Testing variables using the Wilcoxon test and effect size to
see the efficiency of each treatment. comparison of each intervention test performed
using Kruskall Wallis.
Results : There is a significant difference in pain scores before and after giving
abdominal lifting massage with a value of p = 0.005 (<0.05). There was a significant
difference in pain scores before and after giving effleurage massage with a value of p = 0.011
(p <0.05). There is a significant difference in pain scores before and after giving Deep
Back Masaage with a value of p = 0.004 (p <0.005). The result of calculating the effect
size for the Abdominal Lifting technique shows a average effect with a value of d=0.67.
Meanwhile, the effleurage and deep back massage techniques showed a strong impact
with a d value > 0.8.There was no significant difference in pain scores after treatment
between the three groups with a value of p = 0.080 (p> 0.05).
Conclusions : abdominal lifting, effleurage, and deep back massage are contribute
and effective to reducing the pain during active phase of first stage labor. Deep back
massage is the most effective technique (between the three techniques) to reducing the
pain during active phase of first stage labor. There was no significant difference
between the three massage techniques in reducing labor pain.
