Abstract

During the first stage of normal labor, the intensity of pain level by patients is increasing with different quality of pain in each patient. Severe pain generally occurs in the active phase of the first stage of labor. Mothers generally feel increased discomfort, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Warm compresses are expected to reduce the scale of pain experienced by birth mothers. The population was 30 people and taken using accidental sampling technique . The results showed that there was an influence of the use of warm compresses on the change in pain scale when the active phase 1 where p value <0.04 (α ≤ 0.05) .the suggestion for mothers in order to use the method of warm compresses to reduce the scale of pain when the active phase of labor . Midwives are expected to be able to intervene in the form of warm compresses to reduce labor pain because it has been proven to have an effect on reducing the intensity of laborpain.
