Anxiety experienced by mothers in labor will increase over time as contractions appear more often so that the presence of the husband is highly recommended to accompany the mother during labor because of the energy expenditure that many mothers need attention and affection, by wiping sweat, giving food, drink, and encouragement during labor. The birth process makes the mother happier and more excited so that the delivery process can run smoothly and briefly. “The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between husband's assistance to the mother's level of anxiety during the first stage of normal labor at the Muhammadiyah Ponorogo General Hospital.”
The method used in this research is correlation research. The research instrument used a Likert questionnaire on husband's mentoring behavior and anxiety using the HARS questionnaire. “Sampling was carried out using a consecutive sampling technique for 30 days from April 11 to May 11, 2022 sample of 34 respondents.” This study uses Chi Square statistical test with p value <0.05.
“The results showed that the Chi-Square calculation using SPSS obtained p value of 0.009 with df 2 which means it is smaller than of 0.05 which means that there is a relationship between husband's assistance to the level of maternal anxiety during the first stage of normal labor at Muhammadiyah General Hospital Ponorogo.” “The results of this study are expected to be used as input for hospital policy makers to provide socialization to husbands of pregnant women on how to accompany good pregnant women during the first stage of labor so that they can help smooth the delivery process.”
