Background: The global incidence of breast cancer remains alarmingly high as of 2020. Following breast cancer surgery, patients often endure varying degrees of pain once the anesthesia wears off. Copaiba aromatherapy, a non-pharmacological approach, offers relief through natural compounds like beta-caryophyllene and alpha-humulene, effectively reducing pain levels. Aim: This study aimed to find out the effect of giving copaiba aromatherapy on the pain scale among postpartum breast cancer patients at Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto Regional Hospital. Method: This study employs a pre-experimental research design, utilizing a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. Consecutive sampling was employed to select 41 respondents. The research instruments comprised pain scale checklist observation sheets and copaiba aromatherapy. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and paired t-tests. Results based on the findings, the majority of respondents fell within the age range of 50 to 60 years, possessed elementary school education, were housewives by occupation, and had undergone previous surgery. The pain scale was assessed both before and after administering copaiba aromatherapy to test its efficacy in pain management. Conclusion Copaiba aromatherapy has an effect on reducing the pain scale in mothers after breast cancer surgery.
