<p>Inpartu mother Kala I experienced labor pain. One study showed that women who were able to massage for 20 minutes every hour during the active phase of labor were calmer and more relieved of pain. So it is important for midwives to be able to provide certain interventions in labor. Counterpressure technique is one of the non-pharmacological actions that can reduce labor pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of counterpressure techniques on the scale of first stage labor pain (active phase).</p><p>Design the study using a quasi experiment. The design used was pretest-posttest non equivalent control group design. The sampling technique used is consecituive sampling. The population is all inmate first phase mothers (active phase) in the Mojokerto regency (Rahma Kartika Clinic and Aulia Husada Clinic). The sample size is calculated by the formula, obtained the results of 15 respondents for each group. Independet variable is counterpressure technique and the dependent variable is labor pain. Data analysis using independent sample t test with clinical significance was used Î” mean with 95% confidence interval with a value of P &lt;0.05.</p><p>The t test results obtained a significant value of 0.000, Mann Whitney test is significant at 0.031with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) between 1.14 - 26.41 does not pass the number 1, which means that there is an effect of counterpressure in reducing labor pain during the active phase. The risk factor by looking at the Odd ratio 5.5 means that the mother in the first phase of active phase who is not given a counterpressure risk 5.5 times experiencing pain than the mother given.</p><p>According to Pasongli, et al (2014), the administration of counterpressure techniques can close the pain message gates that will be delivered to the spinal cord and brain, in addition to strong pressure on this technique can activate endrophine compounds that are in synapse of spinal and brain nerve cells so that the transmission of the pain message can be inhibited and cause a decreased status of pain sensation.</p>The results of this study are expected to be a reference in efforts to provide midwifery care to overcome labor pain.
