Abstract
As many as 70% of third trimester pregnant women experience lower back pain. If not treated properly, it
can cause difficulty standing, sitting and even moving if the pain has spread to the pelvic and lumbar
areas, which can affect their daily routine and quality of life. Acupressure is starting to be widely used to
reduce lower back pain in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of
acupressure on reducing lower back pain in third trimester pregnant women. This research used a pre-
experimental design with a one-group pre-post test design. The number of samples used was 30 people
taken by nonprobability sampling using purposive sampling techniques. This research was carried out at
the Independent Practice of Midwives "EPS". The research instrument used was an observation sheet.
The data obtained was categorical data so no data normality test was carried out. The data was tested
using the SPSS application using a Non-Parametric Test, namely the Wilcoxon Rank Test. The results
showed that there was a decrease in the average pain scale of respondents from 5.31 to 2.44 with a
decrease in the pain scale of 2.87 (54.04%). From the results of the analysis it can be seen that the p
value = 0.00 (<0.05), so it can be concluded that there is an influence of acupressure on the intensity of
pain in the lower back in pregnant women in the third trimester.
