This study aimed to examine the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on labor pain intensity during the active phase of the first stage of labor at Badaruddin Kasim Regional General Hospital. Labor pain is a physiological process that can cause significant discomfort and anxiety for mothers, so effective and safe pain management strategies are crucial. This study used a pre-post intervention design involving 40 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to compare pain intensity before and after the application of deep breathing relaxation techniques. The results showed that before the intervention, most respondents experienced severe labor pain, whereas after the intervention, pain intensity shifted mostly to moderate and mild levels.
