PENGARUH TEKNIK RELAKSASI NAPAS DALAM TERHADAP PERUBAHAN INTENSITAS NYERI PADA PASIEN PASCA OPERASI LAPARATOMI DI RSUP DR. WAHIDIN SUDIROHUSODO MAKASSAR

Background: Surgery,including laparatomy surgery can cause discomfort for the patients. Surgery can cause trauma and pain for the patients.Management pharmacologically or drugs either narcotic or non-narcotic analgesics is commonly used in treatment of pain.One of nursing pain management is deep breat relaxation tehniques. Research purposes: To determine the effect of deep breathing relaxatian tehniques to changes of pain intensity patients with postoperative laparatomy in Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital Makassar.
Methods: The design of this study used a quasi experimental design,one-grup pre-post test without a control group. The number of respondents in this study were 32
respondents. Than the result are tested by Paire T test with α = 0,05. Result: This study show that pain intensity patients with postoperative laparatomy in Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital before deep breathing relaxatin tehniques
(pre-test) the averages 3,94 (± 1,08), the pain intensity of patients with postoperative laparatomy in Wahidin Sudirohusodo General hospital Makassar after deep breathing
relaxation tehniques (post-test) the averages 3,00 (±0,98), and there is the influence of deep breathing relaxation tehniques to changes of pain intensity patients with postoperative laparatomy in Wahidin Sudirohusodo general Hospital Makassar
(p=0,000). Conclusion: The result of this study,there is an effect of deep breathing ralaxation tehniques to changes of pain intensity patients with posoperative laparatomy in
Wahidin Sudirohusodo general Hospital Makassar. Therefore,it is expected that nurses can provide an example of deep breathing relaxation tehniques as one of the non�pharmacologica pain managemen to overcome of patients’s pain.
