THE EFFECT OF AL-QUR'AN MUROTTAL ON REDUCING LABOR PAIN
Abstract
This study aims to determine the extent to which Al-Qur'an murottal can reduce pain during childbirth. Murottal therapy is one alternative to alleviate pain for mothers in labor. If the pain is not addressed promptly, mothers may experience fatigue, anxiety, and stress during the labor process. Al-Qur'an murottal can reduce the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates emotions, motivation, and stress responses, allowing mothers to feel calm and comfortable. This research design uses a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest and posttest layout. The population in this study consisted of 20 mothers in labor. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling of 20 individuals. The instruments used included a numeric rating scale and visual analog scale, earphones, and an MP3 recording of Surah Maryam with a duration of 15 minutes. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The therapy of Al-Qur'an murottal proved to be very beneficial during labor, as evidenced by the fact that before receiving murottal therapy, the majority experienced severe pain (18 respondents or 90%), while after therapy, most reported moderate pain (11 respondents or 55%). This distraction technique using Al-Qur'an murottal is one option for reducing pain during labor, as indicated by a P-value of 0.000.
