Abstract

One of the way to decrease the death rate of mother and infant during childbirth is through sectio caesarea. SC operation generates pain from the incision site. Patients will feel severe pain on the first two hours on average after procedure because the effects of anesthetic drugs are slowly decreasing. The efforts to overcome pains in mothers who undergo SC procedure are both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Non pharmacological methods are relaxations, breathing technique, movements and position changes, massage, acupressure, hot-and-cold therapy, hypnobirthing, music and tens. One of the non-pharmacological way to reduce pain is the hand-held relaxation technique. The hand-held relaxation technique is an easy way to control emotions and develop emotional intelligence. This research aims to determine the effect of the hand-held technique on the reduction of pain intensity in post sectio caesarea mother.
