Abstract

Background: Active-passive motion therapy and deep breathing techniques are non-pharmacological methods of pain management. This method can reduce pain intensity and without indication.

Result: From the results of statistical calculations, the data obtained p = 0.041 (p = <0.05), thus H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that the active-passive motion therapy is more effective in reducing pain intensity in patients with Post-sectio Caesarea surgery. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the active-passive motion therapy was very effective in reducing the intensity of post-operative pain Caesarea. This study recommended that the active-passive motion therapy can be used to reduce pain intensity in patients with sectio Caesarea surgery.
