Abstract
The aim was to describe the experience of nursing students using non-pharmacological methods for pain relief during labor and to relate it to Ida Jean Orlando's theory. This is an experience report from the supervised obstetrics internship of nursing students, conducted from August to September 2023, at a leading maternity hospital in the state of Piauí. Laboring women were monitored in the ward and in the natural birth center. The methods applied consisted of music therapy, warm baths, lumbar massages with the assistance of companions, and Swiss ball exercises. By correlating the methods used with Ida Jean Orlando's theory, three categories emerged: Patient behavior, Nurse reaction to this situation according to nursing diagnoses, and Nursing actions performed. The methods applied were effective and easy to apply for pain management; Furthermore, the experience contributed to the practical and critical exercise regarding the appropriate use of these non-pharmacological techniques for pain relief during labor.
