Spinal anaesthetic needle prick pain is an unpleasant experience that results in losses from spinal anaesthesia, so it needs to be treated. Non-pharmacological pain management can be done with deep breathing relaxation techniques and lavender aromatherapy. Reducing pain in addition to increasing comfort can also provide convenience and speed in the process of injecting spinal anaesthetic needles. This study was to determine the differences in deep breathing relaxation techniques with lavender aromatherapy on the pain intensity of spinal anaesthetic needle pricks at Kardinah Hospital, Tegal. The research method of this research was a quasi-experiment with a two-group post-test design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total of 72 respondents who were divided into groups of deep breathing relaxation techniques and lavender aromatherapy. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the non-parametric statistical test with the Man Whitney test obtained p = 0.000 (p <0.05), so Ha was accepted, meaning that there was a difference in the pain intensity of spinal needle stick anaesthesia given deep breathing relaxation techniques and lavender aromatherapy. In the conclusion of the study, there were differences in deep breathing relaxation techniques with lavender aromatherapy on the pain intensity of spinal anaesthetic needle pricks at Kardinah Hospital, Tegal.
