THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO-BASED ROM EXERCISE TELENURSING ON IMPROVING JOINT MUSCLE STRENGHT IN POST-STROKE PATIENTS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Post stroke is the period after a stroke patient has passed through the critical phase of the stroke. It has different implications depending on the level of the stroke that has occurred. In the post-stroke period, the role of the family is important in meeting daily needs, providing physical and emotional support, and implementing rehabilitation as a stage to maintain balance and range of motion in the stroke patient’s joint. One of these strategies is the use of video-based telenursing by the family. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of telenursing video-based ROM exercise by families on increasing joint muscle strenght in post-stroke patients at Pandan Regional General Hospital (RSUD Pandan). The research method is quasi-experimental with telenursing intervention. The population consists of 171 post-stroke patients who have been treated at RSUD Pandan and cared for by their families. The sampling was carried out using a purposive sample of 40 respondents. The data collection method was a questionnaire instrument which is Anacova test The research results obtained sig 0,004 < 0,050 which is mean that video-based telenursing ROM exercise by family were effective on improving the joint muscle strenght in post-stroke patients but the wrist joint. Video-based telenursing ROM is regularly performed twice a day; in the morning and evening, 15 minutes, and needs to be implemented in nursing care as a media to educate post-stroke patients on self-management.
