Abstract

Background: Prolonged labor is labor that lasts more than 24 hours for primiparas and more than 18 hours for multiparas. Long labor can occur either directly or indirectly. Prolonged labor can cause infection, fatigue, dehydration in the mother, and can cause postpartum hemorrhage which can cause maternal death. One way to prevent long labor nonpharmacologically is acupressure. Purpose: Conduct a literature review on the effect of acupressure on length of labor. Methods: The method used in this study was a literature review design by taking secondary data from Google Scholar using the keyword “the effect of acupressure on length of labor”, as many as 5 articles that met the inclusion criteria with the publication year range 2017 -2022. Result: There is an effect of acupressure on the length of labor with an average length of labor in the latent phase I stage < 6 hours and an average length of the active phase I stage < 6 hours. There was an increase in maternal contractions in the active phase I of labor with an average uterine contraction frequency of 5 times in 10 minutes. The LI4, SP6, BL67, BL311, BL32, and GB21 points can be used to speed up the duration of labor by pressing 15x in 15 minutes clockwise. Conclusion: Acupressure is proven to accelerate labor in the first stage of labor as evidenced by 5 articles showing p value = <0.05.
