2019
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Pain in labour is a fear for many women particularly for
primigravida women. This population groupreportedlyhad a higher score of pain
during labour compared to multigravida women partly due to less experience of
previous pregnancies, inadequate preparation for delivery and low knowledge
regarding labour process as a result of lack of antenatal education.Massage
therapy such as Effleurage massage has been well established as an effective
method to reduce the labour pain by stimulating the endogenous system of the
body. Another method is Kinesio Taping (KT) which has been widelyused in
recent years as an effective treatment of pain problems. KT could lift the
epidermis that subsequently reduce pressure and create more space of the
subcutaneous, increase the blood circulation with and the drainage of the lymph
fluid. Furthermore, this method could help activating the endogenous system
which stimulates endorphin to inhibit pain in the cord spinal due to cervix
dilatation.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyse the difference of the pain level
during the first stage of labour on women with effleurage massage as the control
group and women with the KT application as the intervention group among
primigravida women in Kandangan Primary Health Centre (KPHC),
Temanggung Regency Indonesia
