Therefore, support from spouses, families, and the community is crucial for the well-being of both mother and child. This study aims to explore the impact of classical music therapy and lavender aromatherapy on anxiety levels during active labor's first phase. Using a pre-experimental quantitative approach, the research employs a one-group pretest-posttest design, focusing on mothers in active labor's first phase in the Ballaparang health center area. Sampling involved 44 third-trimester pregnant women selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis utilized the Wilcoxon test. Findings revealed that prior to intervention, most respondents experienced moderate anxiety (47.7%), while after intervention, the majority experienced mild anxiety (45.5%).

Pre-test anxiety scores were higher than post-test scores, suggesting a decrease in anxiety levels following intervention.]]>
