The sample used in this study was 18 people for a warm
compress intervention group and 18 people for a cold
compress intervention group. Thus, the overall sample
required is 36 people. This study was carried out in MayJuly
2015 through several phases such as: preparation,
implementation of research, and reporting the results.
An instrument used in data collection is Numeric Rating
Scale (NRS), which serves to observe the level of
perineal laceration pain. The instruments used have been
tested for validity and reliability.13 with r = 0767-0943
and p = 0.000, which means that the instrument is valid
and reliable. Perineal laceration pain measurement
performed before and after being given compress. Before
to compress researchers provide images NRS (Numerical
Rating Scale) to measure pain containing a pain scale of
0-10, and then respondents select the numbers to show
how much pain scale of perceived then do the compress.
After compressing the researchers asked mothers showed
the pain scale.
