The research population was pregnant women in Kendari City with an average number of births of 50 people. The sampling technique used purposive sampling method, which was divided into two groups, a control group of 30 respondents, and a treatment group of 30 respondents. The treatment group was given the Delivery Assistance Module. The module contains activity material that is important to do while accompanying childbirth, especially the first stage of labor. The average pain score is relatively the same (6.57) in both groups. The average duration of the first stage of labor was shorter (5.53) than the control group (8.00). Statistical tests paired sample t-test on pain (p > 0.05) and length of labor (p < 0.05, t -2.437). Variables of pain and duration of labor in the first stage in the control group and the treatment group statistically had differences in each characteristic.
