PENERAPAN TEKNIK VOCALIZATION DAN DEEP BREATHING UNTUK MENGATASI NYERI KALA I PERSALINAN PARTUS MATURUS: STUDI KASUS
Abstract
Background: Normal labor is characterized by uterine contractions that increase as cervical dilation increases. Increasingly frequent and strong contractions are perceived as labor pain that affects the comfort and psychology of the mother giving birth. One intervention that can be given is the application of deep breathing-vocalization techniques. The purpose of this study was to analyze the application of deep breathing-vocalization techniques in patients with labor pain. Method: This type of research is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation studies. The sample consisted of 2 mothers giving birth in the active phase of the first stage, namely Mrs. A (G2P1A0) and Mrs. D (G1P0A0). Labor pain was perceived using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Result: Before intervention, Mrs. A and Mrs. D both reported severe labor pain with an NRS score of 8. After the application of deep breathing and vocalization, Mrs. A showed a decrease in pain from 8 to 7, while Mrs. D decreased from 8 to 6. Both clients appeared more relaxed, were better able to regulate breathing, and showed improved behavioral control during contractions. Conclusion: Deep breathing and vocalization may help reduce first-stage labor pain and improve maternal comfort. These techniques can be considered as independent nursing interventions and may be combined with other non-pharmacological strategies based on maternal needs.
