The opening of this body part is generally done by making an incision. After the part to be treated is displayed, corrective action is carried out which ends with closure and suturing of the wound. (R.Sjamsuhidajat, 2013) . Pain is a condition that is more than a single sensation caused by a particular stimulus. The intensity varies from mild pain to severe pain but decreases along with the healing process. Appropriate pain management must include overall treatment, not only limited to pharmacological approaches, because pain is also influenced by emotions and individual responses to themselves. Broadly speaking, there are two managements to deal with pain, namely pharmacological management and non-pharmacological management (Setyoadi, 2011). e- ISSN: 2686-2123 p- ISSN: 2686-0538
