This study aims to determine the effectiveness of massage counterpressure on the level of pain in the active phase of the first stage of labor using quasi experiment research design and research design post test only control group design. Total sample of 30 samples. The research was carried out in February-March 2017. Data were collected using observsi sheet. The statistical test is the T-Test. Research results obtained from the average level of pain obtained experimental group before the massage do counter pressure is 7.06 And do massage after 4.40 counter pressure. Obtained an average rate of pain control group before the massage do counter pressure is 7,20 and do massage after counter pressure 6.20. There is a significant difference between pain levels and after before the group counter pressure massage with experimental values p = 0.000. no significant difference between pain levels and after before the massage counter pressure with control group p = 0.052. Based on the above it can be concluded that the counterpressure massage effective at the level of labor pain in the experimental group. It is expected that the health workers to be more active in implementing pjat counterpressure in order to reduce the pain felt by the mother at birth.
