Kanker payudara memberikan masalah ketidaknyamanan klien, dimana klien akan mengalami nyeri sedang atau continue sehingga dapat menurunkan kualitas dan produktifitas hidupnya. Tujuan penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pijat klasik terhadap intensitas nyeri pada klien perempuan dengan kanker payudara yang menjalani kemoterapi. Metode: Desain penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode quasi-experimental dengan pendekatan one-group pretest dan posttest without control. Penelitian ini melibatkan sampel sebanyak 26 orang. Intervensi yang dilakukan berupa masase klasik, pada bagian area punggung bagian atas, bahu, kedua tangan sampai punggung tangan.  Masase klasik ini dilakukan 10-15 menit. Instrumen menggunakan Numeric Rating Scale. Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik paired T test dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,05 dan tingkat kepercayaan 95%. Hasil: Didapatkan sebagian besar responden mengalami nyeri berat (73,1%). Setelah diberikan intervensi, responden mengalami penurunan intesitas nyeri sedang (88,5%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan ada hubungan yang signifikan pemberian masase klasik dengan penurunan intesitas nyeri (p-value 0,000). Diskusi: Pemberian masase klasik merangsang pengeluaran hormon endorfin yaitu hormon yang merupakan penekan atau penghilang rasa nyeri alami sehingga menurunkan intensitas nyeri. Kesimpulan: perlunya menciptakan rasa aman dan nyaman bagi pasien kanker payudara selama menjalani kemoterapi, salah satunya dengan pemberian masase klasik. Bagi pihak rumah sakit dapat membuat kebijakan dimana pada pasien kanker payudara sebelum mendapatkan obat penghilang nyeri dilakukan tindakan masase klasik untuk mengurangi efek samping zat kimia jika obat penghilang nyeri tersebut diminum terus menerus.Kata Kunci: kanker payudara, masase klasik, nyeri. Reducing Pain Intensity with Classical Massage in Women with Breast Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy ABSTRACTBreast cancer makes clients uncomfortable, due to which they will experience moderate or continuous pain. As a result, quality and productivity of their life decline. Objective: This research aims to reveal the effect of classical massage on pain intensity in female clients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Methods: It employed a quantitative research design using a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest and posttest without control approach. It involved a sample of 26 people. The intervention was given in the form of classical massage on the upper back area, shoulders, both hands to the back of the hand. The classic massage was performed for 10-15 minutes. The instrument used a Numeric Rating Scale. Data were analyzed using statistical paired T test with a significance level of 0.05 and a 95% confidence level. Results: Most of the respondents experienced severe pain (73.1%). After the intervention was given, pain intensity decreased to a moderate pain (88.5%). The results of the analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation between classical massage and a decrease in pain intensity (p-value 0.000). Discussion: Giving classical massage stimulates the release of endorphins, hormones for natural pain suppressants or pain relievers, which then reduce pain intensity. Conclusion: It is necessary to create a sense of security and comfort for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy, one of which is by giving classical massage. The hospital can make a policy that breast cancer patients should receive classical massage before getting painkillers to reduce the side effects of chemicals if the painkillers are taken continuously.Keywords: breast cancer, classical massage, pain.

Post-operative pain is acute and subjective therefore the perceived pain intensity will be different. In one of the western Indonesia Hospitals in measuring the pain threshold using 2 tools namely Numeric Rating Scale and Wong Baker Face. Measurement of the pain intensity can be done with NRS and VAS scale. The objective of this research was to identify the difference of pain scale using the NRS and VAS scale in post-operative patients. The research method was descriptive quantitative using comparative approach. The study was conducted on 1 November 2017 – 12 December 2017.The population of the study are the post-operative patients at the In-Patient wards in a private hospital in Western Part of Indonesia. The samples were obtained using purposive sampling with n = 41. Research instrument consists of observation sheet using NRS and VAS scale. The results showed most respondents during the first eight hours using NRS scale had mild pain (80.5%); first 16 hours had light pain (63.4%); and had mild pain in the first 24 hours (85.4%). Using VAS scale, most of the respondents on the first eight hours has mild pain (87.8%); first 16 hours has mild pain (68.3%); and has mild pain in the first 24 hours (87.8%). The conclusion of this study is there is no difference in pain scale of post-operative patients using VAS scale and NRS scale. So, hospitals can also use the VAS scale to assess pain scale in post-operative patients.
