Auricular Acupuncture on Uterine Point on PGF2α Levels and First-Stage of Labor Duration among Primigravida Women

---

Duration of labor is influenced by four factors, including the power
or uterus contraction. Labor contractions begin with a decrease in the
progesterone hormone levels and an increase in the oxytocin
hormone levels which is initiated by prostaglandins (PGF2α).
Auricular acupuncture on uterine point is located in the triangular
fossa which is innervated by the trigeminal nerve and the vagus
nerve. Stimulation on the uterine point can send a wave of stimulation
to the central nervous system in the posterior hypothalamus to
produce oxytocin. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of
auricular acupuncture on uterine point on PGF2α levels and the
duration of the first stage of labor among primigravida women. This
was a true experimental study with a two-group pretest-posttest
design. The total sample of the study was 48 women in labor who
were selected through a randomized control trial and met the
inclusion criteria of low-risk pregnancy. Data were analyzed using
the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. The results of the study
revealed that auricular acupuncture on uterine point significantly
increased PGF2α levels (ρ=0.002), (201.29±132.916) compared to the
deep-breath relaxation group 132.08±93.530. Auricular acupuncture
on uterine point was proven to shorten the duration of the first stage
of labor (440.3 ± 72.94; 440.00) when compared to the deep
breathing relaxation group (517.6 ± 101.00; 507.50) with a very
significant difference (ρ=0.004). In conclusion, auricular
acupuncture on uterine point was effective in shortening the duration
of labor by increasing PGF2α levels.
