ABSTRACT: Some problems may
appear due to childbirth, such as discomfort, fear and pain. Particularly for
pain in the first stage of labor, it can be severe and takes place a longer
time, thus, pain management is necessary. Birth ball exercise is one of
nonpharmacological methods to reduce labor pain.This was a quasi-experimental
study to determine the effectiveness of birth ball exercise isone of
nonpharmacological methodstowards the reduction of labor pain in the active
phase of the first stage of labor in primigravida. Thirty eight women were
recruited with consecutive sampling technique, divided into 2 groups, the
treatment group given ball birth exercise in active phase of the first stage
for 30 minutes for two times and the control group not given the exercise. The
bivariable analysis was conducted with correlation and t-test, while the
multivariable analysis used linear regression. The results showed that the mean
labor pain in the group given birth ball exercise was lower 4.5 than that in
the control group at 5.4 with a p-value of 0.01. The extraneous variables that
influenced labor pain were anxiety, husband and family support with a p-value
of <0.05. The multivariate analysis using Model 4 obtained an R² value of
0.49, which means that the birth ball exercise and husband and family support
contributed to labor pain equal to 49%.There were significant differences in
pain intensity in active phase of the first stage of labor between primigravida
who practiced birth ball exercise and those who did not. The pain intensity was
lower in women practicing birth ball exercise than that in those who did not.
