Latar belakang: Self-control rendah pada ibu bersalin menyebabkan proses persalinan tidak memuaskan dan menimbulkan pengalaman persalinan traumatis. Tenaga kesehatan diharapkan dapat membantu ibu untuk meningkatkan self-control persalinan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi faktor yang berhubungan dengan self-control ibu dalam menjalani persalinan. Metode penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan tekhnik concecutive sampling melibatkan 150 responden ibu bersalin dengan rentang usia 15-44 tahun. Sebagian besar responden merupakan multipara, berlatar belakang pendidikan menengah, tidak bekerja dan berpenghasilan kurang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara usia (p = 0,002), paritas (p = 0,000), pendidikan (p = 0,045), pekerjaan (p = 0,035), efikasi diri persalinan (p = 0,000), kecemasan persalinan (p = 0,001), ketakutan persalinan (p = 0,000), nyeri persalinan (p = 0,000) dan sikap tenaga kesehatan (p = 0,000) dengan self-control persalinan. Tidak ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara penghasilan (p = 0,155) dengan self-control ibu dalam menjalani persalinan. Analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa variabel paling dominan memengaruhi self-control persalinan adalah efikasi diri persalinan (p = 0,000). Rekomendasi: Pemberdayaan perempuan dalam perencanaan persalinan dapat meningkatkan efikasi diri dan self-control untuk menjalani persalinan secara alamiah.

Background: Low self-control in mothers in labor causes the labor process to be unsatisfactory and causes a traumatic labor experience. Health workers are expected to be able to help mothers to improve their self-control in labor. The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to maternal self-control in undergoing labor. The research method used a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling techniques involving 150 respondents of mothers in labor with an age range of 15-44 years. Most of the respondents were multiparous, had a secondary education background, were unemployed and had low income. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p = 0.002), parity (p = 0.000), education (p = 0.045), employment (p = 0.035), childbirth self-efficacy (p = 0.000), labor anxiety (p = 0.001), fear of childbirth (p = 0.000), labor pain (p = 0.000) and attitudes of health workers (p = 0.000) with self-control in labor. There was no significant relationship between income (p = 0.155) and maternal self-control in undergoing childbirth. Multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant variable influencing self-control of childbirth was self-efficacy of childbirth (p = 0.000). Recommendation: Empowering women in childbirth planning can increase self-efficacy and self-control of mothers to undergo childbirth naturally.
