Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach. The population was all pregnant women aged less than 20 years in the Gombong District, Kebumen Regency. It used a saturated sampling technique involving 256 people. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis to answer the percentage and the Chi-Square test to answer the research hypothesis. Results: The study showed that 130 (50.8%) husbands did not support the mothers, and 126 (49.2%) husbands supported the mothers. The result also showed that 116 (45.3%) of the pregnant women showed positive behavior, while140 (54.7%) pregnant women showed negative behavior.

Birth ball adalah salah satu latihan yang bisa diterapkan pada ibu hamil dan bersalin yang dapat berpengaruh terhadap nyeri, lama, dan jenis persalinan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan birth ball pada ibu hamil terhadap percepatan servik dan laserasi pada ibu bersalin. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimental pada dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol dengan masing-masing berjumlah 30 responden. Responden pada penelitian ini adalah ibu hamil fisiologis dengan usia kehamilan lebih dari 34 minggu. Hasil penelian menunjukkan ada pengaruh latihan birth ball terhadap percepatan pembukaan servik ditunjukkan dengan nilai P value 0,002 dan RR 2,09. Sedangkan laserasi perineum tidak dipengaruhi oleh latihan birthball, ditunjukkan dengan P value 3,45. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah terdapat perbedaan signifikan terhadap percepatan pembukaan servik antara kelompok perlakuan yang diberikan latihan birth ball dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol, namun tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada kejadian laserasi perineum pada kelompok perlakuan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol.Keywords: birth ball, proses persalinan The Effect of Birthball Exercises on the Labor Process Abstract. One indicator of health status assessment is the maternal mortality rate (MMR). One cause of maternal death is prolonged labor, which is more than 18 hours. Birth ball is one of the exercises that can be applied to pregnant and childbirth women to influence pain, duration, and type of delivery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of birth ball training on pregnant women on cervical acceleration and laceration in maternity. The research method used was quasi-experimental in two groups, namely the treatment group and the control group with 30 respondents each. Respondents in this study were physiologically pregnant women with a gestational age of more than 34 weeks. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of birth ball training on the acceleration of cervical opening as indicated by the P value 0.002 and RR 2.09.  While perineal laceration is not influenced by birthball practice, indicated by a P value of 3.45. The conclusion of the study was that there was a significant difference in the acceleration of cervical opening between the treatment groups given birthball training to the control group, but there was no significant difference in perineal laceration in the control and treatment groups.Keywords: birthball, labor process

The results showed there were differences in the length of labour between the treatment group and the control group. The difference in duration of first stage of labour between the treatment group and the control group is shown by the p-value of 0.002 and RR 1.36. While the difference in the second-stage length in the treatment group compared with the control group is indicated by the p-value of 0.020 and RR 1.33. The conclusion of the study is that there was a significant difference in the length of labour in the first and second stages between the treatment group given birth ball exercises and the control group.
