Subject: Quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effect of Guided Somato Psychic Relaxation technique on pain and anxiety among primigravidae during first stage of labour. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to assess the effect of Guided Somato Psychic Relaxation technique on pain among primigravidae during first stage of labour, to assess the effect of Guided Somato Psychic Relaxation technique on anxiety among primigravidae during first stage of labour, to find the association between pain among primigravidae during first stage of labour and selected demographic variables and to find the association between anxiety among primigravidae during first stage of labour and selected demographic variables. Method: The conceptual frame work used was Katharine Kolcaba’s comfort theory. A quantitative research approach was used with quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group design. Purposive sampling was used to select 60 samples. Pre-test was conducted using adapted numerical pain rating scale and Spielberg State Trait Anxiety Scale. For experimental group, Guided Somato Psychic Relaxation technique was given. Control group received routine nursing care. Post-test was conducted using the same tool. Results: The findings of the study showed that the mean post-test pain score of experimental group (4.5±0.57) was lower than the control group (6.37±0.96) and the mean post-test anxiety score of experimental group (43.77±2.16) was lower than control group (45.8±2.59) and it was significant at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study shows that there was a significant association between the pain with social support and anxiety with social support and previous knowledge regarding management of labour pain. Conclusion: The study concludes that Guided Somato Psychic Relaxation technique was effective in reducing pain and anxiety among primigravidae during first stage of labour.
