ABSTRACT The investigators conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of ambulation during the first stage of labor on intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour among the primigravida mothers at selected hospitals of Kheda-Anand District, Gujarat.’’ The main objectives of the study were: (1) To assess the effectiveness of ambulation on intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour among experimental and control group. (2) To compare the effectiveness of ambulation on intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour among experimental and control group.(3)To find out the association between intensity of labour pain & the duration of the first stage of labour and selected demographic variables in experimental group.A Quasi experimental research approach was used with Non-Equivalent Control Group Post- Test-Only Design. The researcher used purposive sampling technique for selecting the 30 samples. Wong Baker faces pain rating scale and Partograph were used to assess the intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour respectively. Validity was assessed by 7 experts. Reliability of the Wong Baker faces pain rating scale and Partograph were ascertained by using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient formula. The Effectiveness of ambulation on intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labor was assessed between the experimental group and control group. The data will be analyzed by descriptive statistics such as Mean, Standard deviation ,Frequency, Percentage. The Mean score of effectiveness of ambulation on intensity of labour pain and Duration of first stage of labour was higher in experimental group than the control group.so It Was revealed that there was significant difference between the experimental group and control group, For comparison of effectiveness of ambulation on intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour in that mean score was higher and calculated “t” test value is 4.40 which is greater than the tabulated value 1.96. So, that the research hypothesis is accepted and proved that there will be significant association between the intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour between the experimental and control group. Descriptive and inferential statistics used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that there was significant association between the intensity of labour pain and duration of first stage of labour with selected demographic variables.
