BACKGROUND: The pain feeling and pain are a very frightening condition for the mother while undergoing labor. The fluency in undergoing childbirth is influenced by the mother’s ability to manage labor pain. Good pain management will improve the ability of mothers to undergo labor with good collaboration and speed up the process of complete opening time. The non-pharmacological method used to reduce labor pain intensity is a progressive muscle relaxation technique. Interventions are carried out with movements that combine deep breathing exercises when the muscles are relaxed. This research is a descriptive study using a quasi-experimental approach using two groups, namely, the intervention group and the control group. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on reducing pain. The number of samples used was 30 people with accidental sampling technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Research sites in USU Medan Hospitals and maternity clinics. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, which consisted of two parts, namely, demographic data and complete opening time (opening 10 cm). Data analysis was performed using independent sample t-test. RESULTS: Results with significance p < 0.05. The results showed that the intervention with progressive muscle relaxation techniques at the time I could accelerate the complete opening time (opening 10 cm) in the intervention group. CONCLUSION: Intervention using progressive muscle relaxation techniques is expected to be applied as an intervention in the management of labor pain and speed up the opening process.
