Keywords:

Background: Labour is an emotional experience and involves both physiological and psychological mechanisms. Even if a woman is thrilled about being pregnant, a new baby adds emotional stress to life. Childbirth has always been associated with pain. The study's objectives are to assess the level of pain during labour and the effectiveness of Lamaze Breathing relaxation techniques on the outcome of labour. Methods: The quantitative research approach was used by implementing the Post-test control group research design. About 50 samples were selected by executing the purposive sampling technique. Independent variables were the Lamaze breathing relaxation techniques, while dependent variables were the labour pains and Outcome of Labour. Data from the participants were obtained by administering the observational techniques. A visual descriptor scale was used to assess the level of pain. Result: About 72% of the women in the control group had moderate labor pain, while 44% of the women in the experimental group had moderate pain. About 44% of them had severe labour pain, and the p values were 0.032, which indicates a significant effect of Lamaze breathing relaxation techniques in reducing the labour pain.
