Abstract

Objective: To evaluate, in an isolated and combined manner, the use of warm aspersion bath and perineal exercises performed with Swiss ball during labor, facing pain perception. Methods: This is a clinical or intervention study. We recruited 15 pregnant women at low obstetric risk who accepted the use of non-pharmacological interventions for pain relief and who also accepted being questioned about their perception of pain using a visual analogue scale. Results: When the interventions studied were associated, pain reduction was significant. There was no significant difference in pain scores, when interventions were isolated. Conclusion: The results indicate that the associated use of non-pharmacological methods for pain relief, warm aspersion bath and perineal exercises with the Swiss ball during the dilation phase is related to the reduction of pain and promotion of the parturient's comfort when associated.
