After being given massage, almost all had a moderate pain scale of 18 respondents (90%). Because respondents who had severe pain decreased to moderate pain of 5 respondents (25%) and those who had moderate pain decreased to mild pain of 2 respondents (10%). Based on the results of the Wilcoxon statistical test with α = 0.05 and obtained p (value) = 0.008 ≤ α (0.05) which means Ha is accepted and there is an effect of back massage (effleurage technique) on changes in pain in mothers in the first stage of labor in the delivery room of Nganjuk Regional Hospital.
