Abstract
Pain during labor results from uterine contractions that cause cervical dilation, often
leading to increased anxiety, vasoconstriction, and decreased oxygen levels. These
factors can contribute to prolonged labor for the mother and potential hypoxia for the
fetus. Effective pain management techniques, such as oxytocin massage, may help
alleviate labor pain and improve maternal comfort. This study aimed to analyze the
effect of oxytocin massage on first-stage labor pain. This quantitative study employed a
pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted at
TPMB Afah Fahmi, Surabaya, involving 17 laboring mothers selected through
purposive sampling. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
ranging from 0 to 10. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. Statistical
analysis showed a significant reduction in first-stage labor pain following oxytocin
massage, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates a meaningful difference in
pain levels before and after the intervention. Oxytocin massage effectively reduces first-
stage labor pain, promoting a more comfortable labor experience. Healthcare providers
are encouraged to integrate oxytocin massage as a non-pharmacological pain
management strategy to support laboring mothers.
