3.2 Utilization of non-pharmacologic pain relief methods
The utilization of non-pharmacological pain relief methods is shown in Table 2. Most of the samples reported
that they knew different types of non-pharmacological pain relief methods. Data denoted that most of the
methods were known but not used. The most widely known and used interventions were related to techniques
that reduced painful stimuli and techniques of active birth. On the other hand, the techniques that were not
known and not used were related to peripheral sensory receptors activation techniques.
