Abstract
An evaluative approach with quasi experimental in which time series with multiple institution of treatment design was used to assess the effectiveness of Acupressure vs Ice massage over meridian point on level of labour pain where non probability convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from 60 primi parturient women during first stage of labour at Salem Poly Clinic. Numerical Pain Intensity Scale was used to assess the level of labour pain. The effectiveness of Acupressure and ice massage was evaluated by independent’ t’ test and the chisquare analysis was done to associate the level of labour pain among primi parturient women with their selected demographic variables. In experimental group I and II 13(43.3%) and 14(46.6%) primi parturient women were at the age group of 21-25 years, 13(43.3%) and 14(46.67%) of them were undergraduate. In experimental group I and II 15(50%) and 14(46.67%) were home makers. Experimental group-I (Acupressure) mean difference values were 1.30, 0.45 and 0.150, whereas in experimental group-II (Ice massage) value were 1.733, 1.50 and 0.633.So it can be concluded that experimental group-II got less pain reduction than experimental group-I. In experimental group I and II the calculated ‘t’ value af ter first intervention was 1.76 which is not significant at p<0.005 level, whereas second and third after intervention (O4 and O6) ‘t’ value of second and third intervention were 3.66 and 4.44 highly significant difference between the two groups at p < 0.001 level. So it can be concluded that ice massage was more effective in reducing the leve l of labour pain. No association was found between the two groups with their selected demographic variables.
