Pengaruh Pijat Perineum dalam Mengurangi Ruptur Perineum saat Persalinan
Get PDFA tear in the perineum is one of the various complications during labor in the second stage so it can cause reproductive organ dysfunction in women. Tension in the pelvic floor muscles often results in perineal tears, especially in primigravida. One way to reduce perineal tears is to perform perineal massage to increase blood flow and perineal elasticity through a very simple and short method. There are 2.7 million cases of perineal tears in childbirth and is estimated to increase by 6.3 million in 2050. In Asia, perineal ruptures account for 50% of perineal ruptures in the world. In Indonesia, mothers who experience perineal rupture at the age of 32-39 years are 62%. Research at the Benin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, showed that the prevalence of perineal rupture was approximately 46.6%, especially in primigravida mothers who experienced perineal rupture. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of perineal massage in reducing perineal rupture at the time of delivery. This research method is an experiment using a post-test-only control group design. The population in this study were all primiparous pregnant women in the third trimester who visited Mahanum clinic, while the number of samples was 32 samples with two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. From the results of the analysis, the value of OR = 6.72 means that primiparous pregnant women who do not have perineal massage have a 6.72 times chance of perineal rupture compared to primiparous pregnant women who do perineal massage.Robekan pada perineum adalah satu dari berbagai macam komplikasi pada saat persalinan di kala II sehingga dapat menyebabkan disfungsi organ reproduksi pada perempuan. Ketegangan pada otot dasar panggul sering mengakibatkan terjadinya robekan perineum khususnya primigravida. Salah satu cara mengurangi robekan perineum adalah dengan melakukan pijat perineum untuk meningkatkan aliran darah dan elastisitas perineum melalui suatu metode yang sangat sederhana dan singkat. Terdapat 2,7 juta kasus robekan perineum pada ibu bersalin dan diperkirakan meningkat sebesar 6,3 juta pada tahun 2050. Di Asia ruptur perineum mencapai sebesar 50% dari ruptur perineum di dunia. Di Indonesia, ibu yang mengalami ruptur perineum pada umur 32-39 tahun sebesar 62%. Penelitian di Rumah Sakit Benin Teaching, Nigeria, mengemukakan bahwa prevalensi rupture perineum kurang lebih 46.6%, terlebih pada ibu primigravida 90% mengalami rupture perineum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan pengaruh pijat perineum dalam mengurangi rupture perineum pada saat persalinan. Metode penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan menggunakan post test only control group design. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu hamil primipara trimester III yang berkunjung ke klinik Mahanum, sedangkan jumlah sampel adalah sebesar 32 sampel dengan dua kelompok yaitu kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Dari hasil analisis diperoleh nilai OR = 6.72 yang berarti ibu hamil primipara yang tidak dilakukan pijat perineum mempunyai peluang 6.72 kali terjadinya ruptur perineum dibandingkan dengan ibu hamil primipara yang dilakukan pijat perineum
Aplikasi Video Edukasi “Dispepsia“ melalui Media Sosial
No full textDyspepsia is not a life-threatening case but the symptoms of the disease occur for a long time. Dyspepsia has a strong impact on health-related quality of life because the natural course of dyspepsia is chronic and often recurs, and the administration of therapy is less effective in controlling symptoms. Symptoms of dyspepsia can interfere with daily activities, and result in a significant impact on quality of life and increased medical costs. Providing education is used as an alternative so that people can understand the type of gastric disease they are suffering from. But in fact, the education provided can be a source of medication errors, due to a lack of public knowledge about dyspepsia. Providing appropriate information can protect the public from the dangers of dyspepsia, therefore providing education about dyspepsia through social media is considered the most effective way, especially during the current pandemic. The purpose of this activity is to educate the public about dyspepsia. The method used in this activity is to use educational videos that are distributed through social media. The results of this activity are responses from the general public who are active on social media who watch educational videos that have been distributed, almost all of the responses given are in the form of comments saying that this educational video is very useful. The conclusion of this activity is that the use of social media is considered capable of providing education to the public regarding dyspepsia.Penyakit dispepsia bukan merupakan kasus yang mengancam jiwa namun gejala–gejala penyakit tersebut terjadi dalam waktu lama. Dispepsia memberikan dampak yang kuat terhadap healthâ€related quality of life karena perjalanan alamiah penyakit dispepsia berjalan kronis dan sering kambuh, serta pemberian terapi kurang efektif untuk mengontrol gejala. Gejalaâ€gejala dispepsia dapat mengganggu aktifitas sehari-hari, dan mengakibatkan suatu dampak yang bermakna terhadap kualitas hidup dan peningkatan biaya pengobatan. Pemberian edukasi dijadikan alternatif agar masyarakat dapat memahami jenis penyakit lambung yang diderita. Namun pada kenyataanya edukasi yang diberikan dapat menjadi sumber kesalahan pengobatan (medication error), akibat kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang penyakit dispepsia. Pemberian informasi secara tepat dapat melindungi masyarakat dari bahaya penyakit dispepsia, oleh karena itu pemberian edukasi mengenai dispepsia melalui media sosial dinilai merupakan cara yang paling efektif terlebih pada masa pendemi sekarang ini. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang penyakit dyspepsia. Metode yang digunakan pada kegiatan ini berupa digunakan video edukasi yang di sebarkan melalui media social. Hasil dari kegiatan ini berupa tanggapan dari masyarakat umum yang aktif di media sosial yang menyaksikan video edukasi yang telah di sebar hamper semua tanggapan yang diberikan berupa komentar komentar yang menyampaikan bahwa video edukasi ini sangat bermanfaat. Kesimpulan dari kegiatan ini penggunaan media sosial dinilai mampu memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat terkait penyakit dispepsia
