The effect of peanut ball in straddling positions on reducing labor pain: A quasi-experimental study
Abstract
Labor contractions play an important role in childbirth but can also cause severe pain in the lower back and abdominal area, radiating to the thighs. Appropriate efforts are needed to reduce the pain caused by these contractions. This quasi-experimental study aimed to determine the effect of using a peanut ball in a straddling position on pain levels during the first stage of labor. Before the intervention, most respondents experienced severe pain, whereas after the intervention, most reported a decrease in pain levels. The results showed a p-value of 0.001, which means that the use of a peanut ball in a straddling position is effective in reducing contraction pain during the first stage of labor.
