Abstract

Back pain in pregnant women is a common discomfort because the back of pregnant women must support a heavier body weight. This pain can also be caused by the hormone relaxin which relaxes the joints between the bones in the pelvic area. Loosening of these joints can affect posture and trigger back pain. Warm compresses are a non-pharmacological intervention that can reduce the intensity of back pain in pregnant women in Trimester III. The purpose of this KIAN is to provide nursing care to pregnant women in Trimester III by applying warm compresses to reduce pain intensity in Sari Galuh Village, Kampar. The method used in the KIAN report is a case study of the application of Evidence Based Practice Nursing (EBN). This nursing care was carried out on 1 pregnant woman in Trimester III. The intervention carried out was in the form of warm compresses which were carried out for 3 days from May 30, 2025-June 1, 2025. The instrument used was the NRS (Numeric Rate Scale). The results of the evaluation and intervention carried out on the client for 3 consecutive days with a duration of 15 minutes in the afternoon with a pain scale before the application of warm compresses was 6 and a pain scale after the application of warm compresses was 2. This warm compress can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative for pregnant women in the third trimester to reduce the intensity of back pain.
