Introduction: The use of the Rebozo technique is believed to assist the labor
process. The function of the Rebozo technique is to provide a wider pelvic
space for the mother, making it easier for the baby to descend into the
pelvis and speeding up the labor process. The objective of this study was
to determine the influence of the Rebozo technique on the labor process.
Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental research with a satisfic
group comparison design approach. The study population consisted of
primigravida mothers who received prenatal treatment at the work area
of Pagelaran Primary Health Center, with a total of 52 individuals. The
sample consisted of 32 individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion
criteria and were divided into two groups. Group 1: mothers who received
the Rebozo technique, and Group II: mothers who did not receive the
Rebozo technique. The measurement used in this study was the duration
of Stage I labor.
Results: The data analysis employed the Chi-Square hypothesis test using
SPSS software. The data from Group I indicated that the duration of labor
was less than 6 hours for 14 respondents and more than 6 hours for 2
respondents. In Group II, 8 respondents without Rebozo technique had a
labor duration of less than 6 hours, and 8 respondents had a labor duration
of more than 6 hours. The hypothesis test yielded a p-value of 0.022 < 0.05.
Conclusion: There are indications of the influence of the Rebozo technique
on the duration of labor.
