PEMBERIAN TEKNIK RELAKSASI NAPAS DALAM DAN AROMA TERAPI LAVENDER TERHADAP NYERI PASIEN POST OPERASI DENGAN ANESTESI UMUM

Abstract

Complaints that appear after surgery are postoperative pain. The incidence of postoperative pain in patients with spinal anesthesia is lower than in patients with general anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to explain the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques and lavender aromatherapy on the pain of postoperative patients with general anesthesia. This study used a quasy experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study population in this study were postoperative patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. The sample technique uses purposive sampling. Each group consists of 15 respondents. After the postoperative patient was given deep breathing relaxation and lavender aromatherapy, there was a decrease in the patient's pain scale with the Wilcoxon test results, a p value of 0.00. Whereas patients who only received deep breathing relaxation had no significant effect with the results of the Wilcoxon test p value of 0.157. The conclusion in this study is that deep breathing relaxation and lavender aromatherapy performed on postoperative patients under general anesthesia have an effect on reducing the patient's pain scale. This is because there is a combination of the two interventions that make the patient comfortable and can reduce the pain scale.
