Abstract
Pain during labour is different for every
woman. Although labour is often thought of as one of the painful events in
human experience, it ranges widely from woman to woman and from pregnancy to
pregnancy and heat therapy benefits by helping to relieve muscle spasms,
increases circulation of blood lymph which benefits cellular nutrition,
oxygenation and detoxification and has a sedating and relaxing effect. The
quantitative study aims to evaluate the intensity of labour pain, effectiveness
of hot application on labour pain among primigravid mothers and to find out
association between the pre-test mean score of labour pain with selected
demographic variables. The study was conducted at S.D.H Danapur, using pre-test
post-test Control group design. The data was obtained using interview schedule
and numerical pain scale from 60 samples, 30 each in Experimental and Control
group, analysed and interpreted considering the objectives and hypothesis of
the study using descriptive and inferential statistics. Among Experimental
group 96.67% had moderate pain and 3.33% had severe pain whereas in Control
group 25.0% had moderate pain and 75.0% had severe pain. This shows that there
is decrease in intensity of labour pain after the hot application on dimple of
venous. The calculated paired ‘t’ value 3.92 at p<0.05 significant level
between pre-experimental and Control group. On other hand ‘t’ value is 2.67 at
P<0.05 significant level between post-experimental and Control group. post-test
was 0.548*which is greater than the table value 2.00 at 0.05 level of
significance. This shows that hot application on dimple of venous was effective
in reduction of intensity of labour pain. The chi-square values showed
significant association between pre-test scores of labour pain with selected
demographic variables.
