Abstract
Labor pain is a complex experience, with 65-80% of mothers in Indonesia experiencing severe pain during childbirth, requiring effective management. The SP6 (Sanyinjiao) acupressure technique offers a non-pharmacological, easy-to-apply, and safe alternative with minimal side effects for reducing labor pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SP6 acupressure on labor pain in mothers giving birth at the Obstetrics Emergency Room of Tidore Islands City Hospital. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach was used. The sample included 30 mothers in the active phase of labor (4-7 cm dilation), with singleton pregnancies and gestational ages of 37-42 weeks, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention involved applying acupressure at the SP6 point for 20 minutes with moderate pressure. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from 0-10. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a significant decrease in pain intensity (p = 0.000), with 50% of participants reporting moderate pain post-intervention, and no participants experiencing uncontrolled severe pain. In conclusion, SP6 acupressure significantly reduced labor pain intensity and can be recommended as an effective, safe, and easy-to-apply method for managing labor pain.
