Abstract

Labor pain is a subjective experienced by mothers about physical sensations associated with uterine contractions, dilation and cervical thinning. Music distraction is widely used to reduce pain, but rhythmic respiratory distraction is not commonly used to reduce labor pain. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of music distraction and rhythmic breathing distraction against labor pain in first stage maternity mothers. The study used Quasi Experimental method with Two Group Pre-post Test Design, number of samples was 32 respondents. Based on the Independent Sample T-Test test the p value was 0.040 (p <0.05). The results showed that mean decrease in pain scale in the music distraction group was 0.94, while the mean decrease in pain scale in the rhythmic respiratory distraction group was 1.25. The conclusion of this study is that rhythmic breathing distraction is more effective than music distraction on labor pain in the first stage maternity mother. It is recommended for nurses to apply rhythmic respiratory distraction and musical distraction because these two interventions can reduce labor pain during the first stage.
