Effectiveness of Modified Paced Breathing Technique on Labor Pain Towards Labor Outcome among Mothers During First Stage of Labor
Abstract
Introduction: “Birth is an experience that demonstrates that life is not merely function and utility, but form and beauty.” Cultural values and learned behavior influence and response to acute pain. Female’s expectations for the labor pain often are confirmed by their experience
of childbirth. Anxiety and fear of pain correlate with a higher reported experience of pain. Breathing exercises can help for the mothers to reduce and the mind divert for the labor pain. All pregnant women’s are happy with this news at the end of this journey all women’s having
the fear for the labor pain. Breathing exercise can help for the relive the pain level during the labor.
Materials and Methods: The research design for this study was quasi experimental design. The sample size was 40 ( 20 Experimental and 20 control group) and was drawn through Non-Probability Purposive Sampling Technique. The level of labor pain was assessed by using Wong Baker’s Faces pain rating scale. Modified paced breathing technique was instructed to practice during contractions for 1 hour during active phase for experimental group. Pre-test was assessed before intervention and Post-test done after intervention for both group. The data gathered were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical method.
Result: The mean post-test score on level of pain during first stage of labor in experimental group was 5.5, but in control group it was 8.35. calculated t” value was 6.007 which is more than the table value at 5% significance. It was statistically significant at 5% (p<0.05). It shows that Modified paced breathing technique is effective in reduction of pain during first stage of labor. Hence, the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. There is significant association between demographic variables. Hence, the research hypothesis(H2) is accepted.
Conclusion: This study finding revealed that Modified paced breathing technique helps in reducing the level of pain among mothers in the experimental group. So this can be practiced as a Non- pharmacological method to relieve pain during labor in various settings.
