PENGARUH PROMOSI KESEHATAN TENTANG ASMA TERHADAP KONDISI FAAL PARU PADA PENDERITA ASMA
Abstract
Background: Global Asthma Report 2011 describes for about 235 million people
worldwide suffer from Asthma. Asthma can cause a number of harmful changes in
the lung and respiratory tract. The most important effects are on decreasing airway
quality and decreasing lung elasticity. Asthma treatment efforts have been carried
out in a curative stage with controlling drugs and relatives, but the success of
asthma treatment is not determined by the drugs consumed alone but also must be
supported from the side of promotive and preventive. This study aims to determine
the effect of health promotion on asthma with leaflets and Buteyko breathing
exercises on the lung function in people with asthma.
Method: Quasi experimental with pre-test and post test with control group design
performed on 40 asthma patients in Lung Department in PKU Muhammadiyah
Gamping Hospital from January to April 2017. Respondents consisted of 20
respondents as intervention group and 20 respondents as control group.
Results: The result of Wilcoxon analysis test of intervention group obtained P value
<0.001. The mean value of PEFR in the intervention group during pre-test was
281.00 to 294.75 while the result of Paired T-Test test analysis on the control group
obtained P value = 0.007. The mean value of PEFR in the control group at the pretest
was 268.50 to 294.60. Result of Mann-Whitney test analysis of pre-test group
of intervention and control obtained value P <0.001. Then in the group of post-test
intervention and control obtained value P <0.001.
Conclusion: Health promotion of asthma with leaflets and Buteyko breathing
exercise has a significant influence on improving the lung function on people with
asthma.
