The nurse’s primary responsibilities include diagnosing the laboring woman’s issues and giving pertinent information about alternative methods of pain management. Manual healing method utilized today during labor which includes therapeutic back massage with the application of oil. By massage therapy, pharmacological management during first stage of labor can be minimized. Thus, detrimental effect on mother and fetus can be reduced. Objectives: the objectives of the study were: 1. To assess the pre-interventional scores of labor pain endurance during first stage of labor in both the groups. 2. To evaluate the impact of back massage with olive oil on labor pain endurance during first stage of labor. 3. To evaluate the impact of back massage with coconut oil on labor pain endurance during first stage of labor. 4. To compare the impact of olive oil massage and coconut oil massage on labor pain endurance during first stage of labor among primigravida women. methods: in order to compare the impact of olive oil versus coconut oil back massage on pain endurance among primigravida women during first stage of labor. A quantitative evaluation research approach with factorial research design was applied, also to guide the study in a proper direction systematically; the conceptual framework applied for the study was modified katharine kolcaba’s comfort theory. A total of 40 subjects (primigravida mother) were enrolled for the study by applying non-probability sampling technique and were divided into experimental group-i and experimental group-ii. The tool comprised of universal pain assessment tool. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics to know and compare the impact of olive oil versus coconut oil back massage on pain endurance among primigravida women during first stage of labor. results and interpretation: the mean post-interventional scores of labor pain endurance of primigravida women in experimental group-i (6.2) with sd of 0.5 was significantly higher than the mean post—interventional scores of labor pain endurance of primigravida women in experimental group-ii (5.3) with sd of 0.4. It indicates that, at 0.05 level of significance the intervention given experimental group-ii was more effective than experimental group-i. Conclusion: the overall mean interventional scores of experimental group-i &ii differed significantly from one another. The results of the study that giving primigravida women, a back massage with coconut oil was very beneficial for reducing labor pain during first stage of labor.
