ABSTRACT
A hernia is a disease caused by protrusion of an organ due to weak muscles and tissues supporting the body. Hernias occur when the muscle layer or abdominal joint weakens, causing a bulge in the weakened area.Hernias in men are 25 times more common than in women. Operative action, either open or laparoscopic, is a method of healing in hernia sufferers.The purpose of this paper is to apply finger grasp therapy nursing interventions to reduce pain intensity in patients after hernia surgery in the Topas Room of Dr. Slamet Garut Hospital. The method used in this study is a case report approach conducted on one patient with a diagnosis of post herniorrhaphy. Data collection techniques using interview methods, observation, physical examination and documentation studies. The analysis used uses pico by comparing the results of nursing care with the results of the journal. The results of the application of finger grasp relaxation show that there is a decrease in pain intensity before the intervention is given, namely 7 to 5 on the first day after the finger grasp technique is performed, and on day two from a pain scale of 5 to 3 and to scale 1 on day three. The application of the finger grip technique is very effective in reducing the pain scale.
Description:
Berdasarkan hasil penerapan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terapi relaksasi dengan menggenggam jari mampu mengurangi tingkat nyeri yang dirasakan oleh pasien setelah operasi herniorafi yang dirawat di rumah sakit. Hal ini terjadi karena teknik relaksasi menggenggam jari dapat merangsang sistem saraf parasimpatis dan memicu hormon adrenalin yang mempengaruhi tingkat stres, sehingga dapat meningkatkan konsentrasi tubuh dan memudahkan pengaturan pernapasan, yang pada gilirannya meningkatkan kadar oksigen dalam darah dan memberikan rasa tenang yang membantu mengatasi nyeri.
Penilaian keperawatan dilakukan sesuai dengan pelaksanaan praktik keperawatan berbasis bukti. Diharapkan hasil dari studi kasus ini mampu memberikan wawasan tentang penerapan terapi relaksasi dengan menggenggam jari pada pasien pasca operasi di ruang rawat inap.
