TEKNIK RELAKSASI GENGGAM JARI TERHADAP INTENSITAS NYERI PADA PASIEN POST APPENDIKTOMI

Abstract

Pain is a condition more than a single sensation caused by a certain stimulus. One of the non-pharmacological  erections  in  handling  pain  is  a hand-held  relaxation  technique. Finger hand-held real-time techniques can reduce physical and emotional strain that will relax the body. This study aims to examine the effect of finger hand relaxation technique on the intensity of pain in post appendectomy patients.

Sampling technique using purposive  sampling technique. This study  was  conducted   on February 17   until 1 May 2017 in    the   hospital   surgery  room Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi. Data were analyzed by using Paired T-Test with significant value α = 0,005. The results showed that the average before hand-held finger relaxation technique was 4.80 and the mean result after hand-held relaxation technique was 3.87. Bivariate results obtained p value 0,000. So it shows there are differences in pain intensity before and after hand-held relaxation techniques in patients post appendectomy. From the results of the above research can be concluded that the implementation of handheld relaxation techniques affect the reduction of post incision appendectomy incision.
