Relieving the labour pain of the woman may be the main concern of the midwives. Furthermore, providing effective pain management is one of the important quality cares in obstetric care. A cross sectional study was conducted on 63 midwives in Hospital USM. A validated questionnaire was distributed to all respondents that fit the inclusion criteria. The general objective of the study was to assess the knowledge and attitude on pain relief in labour among midwives in Hospital USM. This study was conducted to determine the association between the level of knowledge and the level of attitude on pain relief in labour and to determine the association between selected sociodemographic data (Educational level and year of experience) with level of knowledge on pain relief in labour among midwives in Hospital USM. The data was analysed by descriptive statistics, and Pearson Chi-Square test using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) 26.0. The findings of this study showed that midwives in Hospital USM have high level of knowledge (n=59, 93.7%) and positive attitude (n=52, 82.5%). For the association, in this study there is no association between the level of knowledge and level of attitude p=0.681(p-value >0.05). Furthermore, in term association between sociodemographic data and level of knowledge, there is significant association between educational level with level of knowledge p=0.010(p-value <0.05). However, there is no significant association between year of experience with level of knowledge on pain relief in labour among midwives p=0.527 (p-value >0.05). Thus, increasing the knowledge and attitude on pain relief in labour among midwives may help in improving quality of care for woman in labour. 2021-06 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/55639/ http://eprints.usm.my/55639/1/Nur%20Azyyati%20Athirah%20Binti%20Khairil%20Anuar-24%20pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Kesihatan
