Hubungan Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) dengan Kualitas Hidup Pasien Benigna Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-life-threatening condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Patients with BPH commonly experience symptoms such as nocturia, increased frequency and urgency of urination, decreased urine flow rate, incomplete bladder emptying, and hesitancy to urinate (Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms/LUTS). LUTS directly impairs the quality of life of BPH patients and contributes to morbidity. The severity of LUTS in BPH patients can be subjectively assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). This study aims to explore the relationship between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and quality of life in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design using a Cross-Sectional approach. The population consisted of all patients diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) experiencing Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) at RSUD Arifin Achmad Provincial Hospital in Riau from October to December 2023, totaling 153 individuals. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 111 participants as the study sample. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test was employed for data analysis. Among the respondents, 43 individuals (38.74%) were categorized with moderate LUTS. The quality of life of BPH patients was rated as moderate in 62 respondents (55.86%). The Pearson Chi-Square test yielded a p-value of 0.003 (p-value < α (0,05)). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) dengan kualitas hidup pasien Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Arifin Achmad Provinsi Riau. Kata Kunci : Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Kualitas Hidup, Benigna Prostatic Hyperplasia
