The Effectiveness of Non-Pharmacological Therapy (Murottal Al-Quran) on The Reduction of Pain Intensity in Post Sectio Caesaria Women

Sectio caesaria (SC) surgery results in changes in tissue continuity due to surgery, which causes the release of inflammatory mediators and causes a sensation of pain. Postoperative pain management of SC can be given non-pharmacologically, one of which is Murottal. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological Murottal therapy in reducing the intensity of post-SC pain. This research is a quantitative research with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design approach. This study carried out measurements before and after giving intervention with murottal therapy. The sample consisted of 82 post-SC mothers from 8 to 72 hours, with the consecutive sampling method. Measurement of pain intensity using the Bourbanis pain scale observation sheet was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there was an effect of murottal therapy on reducing pain intensity in post sectio caesaria mothers. Wilcoxon test results obtained p value <0.05. Murottal therapy can be recommended as a non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain intensity in Muslim patients after cesarean section.
