Table 3. Comparing the pain intensity between the massage and breathing groups at different dilatations .
Dilatation | Massage 1 | Breathing 1 | Statistical indicators | Massage 2 | Breathing 2 | Statistical indicators |
4 cm | 6.15 (2.25) | 8.4 (1.76) | n = 20 z = 0.02 p = 0.9 | 7.47 (1.43) | 8.32 (1.77) | n = 19 z = -1.75 p = 0.08 |
6 cm | 8.73 (1.49) | 8.4 (1.76) | n = 14 z = -0.62 p = 0.54 | 2.14 (6.37) | 6.05 (1.58) | n = 19 z = 0.63 p = 0.52 |
8 cm | 8 (1.52) | 7.71 (1.82) | n = 13 z = -0.16 p = 0.55 | 8.33 (2.06) | 8.77 (1.77) | n = 18 z = -0.13 p = 0.19 |
10 cm | 9.77 (0.60) | 8.54 (1.51) | n = 13 z = 0.234 p = 0.019 | 7.27 (1.77) | 6.33 (1.75) | n = 18 z = -1.70 p = 0.1 |
