Therapeutic Touch dan Nyeri Pasca Pembedahan

Abstract

Penanganan nyeri pada pasien yang dilakukan oleh profesi perawat lebih banyak mengacu pada pendekatan terapi medis dan farmakologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh therapeutic touch terhadap nyeri pasien pasca operasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuasi eksperimental yang dilakukan pada 60 orang responden, terdiri dari 30 orang kelompok intervensi dengan therapeutic touch dan 30 orang kelompok kontrol dengan teknik napas dalam. Penelitian berlangsung di ruang rawat bedah pasien dewasa RSUD Pasar Rebo. Data dikumpulkan dari bulan April hingga Oktober 2012. Hasil penelitian dengan uji Wilcoxon Signed Ranks menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara skala nyeri sebelum dan sesudah tindakan baik pada kelompok intervensi maupun kelompok kontrol (nilai p = 0,000). Hasil uji Mann-Whitney pun memperlihatkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan pada penurunan skala nyeri antara kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol (nilai p = 0,000).Pain management for patients by nurses refers to medical therapy and pharmacological approaches. This study aimed to determine the effect of therapeutic touch on post-operative pain. This study used a quasi-experimental design conducted on 60 respondents, comprised 30 person for intervention group (therapeutic touch) and 30 person for control group (deep-breaths technique). The study conducted in the surgical ward for adult patients at Pasar Rebo Hospital Jakarta. Data collected from April until October 2012. The result of Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test showed a significant difference between the pain scale before and after treatment either the intervention group or the control group (p value = 0.000). The Mann-Whitney test’s result also showed a significant difference in pain reduction between the scale of the intervention group with the control group (p value = 0.000).

The effects of therapeutic touch and music on sleep quality, menopausal symptoms, and quality of life in menopausal women

“…Alp and Yucel 41 studied 60 women (TT, 30; control, 30) living in nursing homes and found that TT reduced the women's anxiety levels and increased their comfort levels. In a literature review investigating the effects of TT in cancer patients, it was suggested that TT reduced pain, anxiety, and fatigue; positively affected mood; provided relaxation; increased vitality; and raised life satisfaction 14 . These results showed that TT, which has no adverse effects and can be applied virtually anywhere and anytime, supports the body's natural healing process by repairing the imbalance in energy flow, thus reducing the severity of menopausal complaints and increasing the quality of life of women.…”

“…TT, which is among the CAM methods with increasing use in recent years, is a modern-age interpretation of an ancient healing experience 12 . TT is a noninvasive nursing intervention that directs life energy to patients and balances it, and the flow of energy increases the overall energy, removes blockages, and creates an environment that promotes the acceleration of the natural healing process to alleviate ailments or symptoms caused by imbalances and blockages in life energy fields 13,14 . The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association has recognized “energy field disorder” as a nursing diagnosis 15 .…”

“…The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association has recognized “energy field disorder” as a nursing diagnosis 15 . In the literature, it has been reported that the endorphins released by the relaxation response caused by TT reduce pain, lower anxiety and depression, increase relaxation and well-being, and improve quality of life by positively affecting sleep quality 14,16-19 …”
