Abstract

Pain is one of the most common problems experienced by post sectio caesarea patients due to tissue damage. Poorly managed pain can interfere with the recovery process and patient comfort. Finger hold relaxation therapy is a non-pharmacological method that can help reduce pain by providing physical and emotional relaxation effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of finger hold relaxation therapy on pain scale in post sectio caesarea patients at H.A Zaky Djunaid Hospital, Pekalongan City. This study used a quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental design using a pre-test post-test with control design. The sample consisted of 40 respondents, divided into 20 intervention and 20 control groups, using total sampling technique. The instrument used was the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to measure pain levels and SOP for finger hold relaxation therapy. Data analysis was conducted to determine differences before and after intervention. The results showed a decrease in pain scale in the intervention group compared to the control group. Statistical analysis indicated that finger hold relaxation therapy had a significant effect on reducing pain scale in post sectio caesarea patients. Finger hold relaxation therapy is effective in reducing pain scale in post sectio caesarea patients
