Background: The effective pain relief is one of the important aspects to in treating patients undergoing caesarean section Untreated pain after surgery may lead to many complications like increased opioid use, postpartum depression and development of persistent pain. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapy helps in postoperative pain management Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine the postoperative pain among mothers delivered by caesarean section, to evaluate the effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation therapy on postoperative pain and to associate postoperative pain scores with selected demographic variables. Method: Quantitative research with quasi-experimental repeated measures design was used. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 40 mothers delivered by caesarean section to test effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation therapy. The data was collected by using numerical pain rating scale. Result: The result showed that the mean pre interventional postoperative pain scores of the mothers in the experimental group was 7.90 and in the control group was 8.00 which showed mothers had severe pain both the group. The post intervention pain scores in the experimental group showed there was significant reduction in pain (p<0.05) at various time interval. Whereas in the control group also there was significant reduction (p<0.05) at various time interval except for 2-12 hour comparison (p=0.346).There was no association of pretest postoperative pain scores with selected demographic variables such as age, religion, occupation, monthly income, parity, type of caesarean section and source of information on relaxation therapy in the experimental group and control group (p>0.05), except for religion (p=0.032) and source of information on relaxation therapy (p=0.040) in the control group Conclusion: Benson’s relaxation therapy proved to be effective in reduction of postoperative pain among mothers delivered by caesarean section in selected hospital at Mangaluru.
