ABSTRAK Sebagian penderita katarak mengalami ketidakberdayaan dalam melakukan kegiatan biasanya yang dilakukan karena penurunan kemampuan melihat sehingga sangat rentan terjadi cedera, maka agar penderita katarak tidak mengalami ketidakberdayaan memerlukan penerimaan diri (self-acceptance) dengan dapat menyadari dan mengakui karakteristik pribadi dan menggunakannya dalam menjalani kelangsungan hidupnya secara bermakna sehingga dapat mengendalikan situasi saat ini atau yang akan terjadi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan penerimaan diri dan keberdayaan pada pasien katarak. Jenis penelitian ini adalah korelasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 40 penderita katarak dengan menggunakan tehnik consecutive sampling. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji koefisien kontingensi. Hasil menunjukkan sebagian besar responden berusia 66-75 tahun, laki-laki, berpendidikan terakhir SMP, memiliki penghasilan antara Rp.500.000,00-Rp. 1.000.000,00, pensiunan, lama menderita katarak antara 1 – 3 tahun dan menggunakan fasilitas kesehatan rumah sakit. Hasil menunjukkan mayoritas responden menerima kondisi tubuh dan berdaya, dengan p=0,000 dan r=0,614, yaitu terdapat hubungan kuat antara penerimaan diri dan empowerment pada penderita katarak. Perubahan pada penderita katarak tidak mempengaruhi penerimaan dirinya, karena responden beranggapan penyakit sudah wajarnya terjadi pada lansia.Diharapkan peran perawat dapat ditingkatkan terutama dalam memberikan edukasi pada penderita katarak & keterlibatan keluarga dalam perawatan.   Kata kunci: penerimaan diri, empowerment, pasien katarak   ABSTRACT Most cataract patients experienced powerlessness in activities normally performed due to decreased ability to see so highly susceptible to injury, so that cataract patients do not experience the powerlessness requires self-acceptance to be able to realize and acknowledge personal characteristics and use them in carrying out their survival significantly so as to control the situation current or expected. The purpose of this study to identify a correlation of self-acceptance and empowerment in cataract patients. This type of research is correlational study with cross sectional approach. The research sample were 40 patients with cataract using consecutive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using contingency coefficient test. The results showed that most of the respondents aged 66-75 years old, male, junior high school education, have an income between Rp.500.000,00-Rp. 1.000.000,00, retirees, long suffering from cataract between 1-3 years and using hospitals as health facilities. The results showed the majority of respondents accept the condition of the body and empowerment, with p = 0.000 and r = 0.614, so there was a strong correlation between self-acceptance and empowerment in cataract patients. Changes in people with cataracts do not affect the self-acceptance itself, because respondents think the disease is already fair occur in the elderly. Expected role of nurses could be improved, especially in educating the cataract patient and family involvement in care.   Keywords: self-acceptance, empowerment, cataract patients DOWNLOAD FULL TEXT PDF >>

Partisipasi pasien PJK dalam program rehabilitasi jantung fase II di salah satu rumah sakit di Kota Bandung masih rendah. Hal tersebut dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor. Illness cognition diyakini sebagai predictor partisipasi pasien PJK dalam mengikuti rehabilitasi jantung. Illness cognition dapat memengaruhi strategi koping pasien PJK untuk memilih tindakan yang akan dilakukan, baik itu berpartisipasi aktif ataupun pasif dalam mengikuti rehabilitasi jantung. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat gambaran illness cognition pasien PJK. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Pemilihan responden dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dan didapatkan sebanyak 66 responden dalam waktu satu bulan. Data diambil dengan menggunakan Illness Cognition Questionnairre (ICQ). ICQ memiliki nilai validitas 0,65 – 0,79 dan nilai reliabilitas 0,88 – 0,91. Data dianalisis menggunakan distribusi frekuensi, nilai mean, dan standar deviasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa illness cognition pasien PJK memiliki nilai mean dan standar deviasi dari yang tertinggi ke yang terendah adalah sebagai berikut, persepsi tentang manfaat (20,52±2,89), penerimaan (18,82±3,02), dan ketidakberdayaan (12,94±4,72). Nilai tersebut mencerminkan bahwa illness cognition pasien PJK memiliki aspek positif lebih tinggi daripada aspek negatif. Berdasarkan penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa illness cognition pada pasien PJK yang menjalani perawatan di rumah sakit ini secara umum baik. Hal ini dimungkinkan oleh karena koping yang dikembangkan adaptif. Tingginya aspek ketidakberdayaan pada sebagian pasien PJK dapat diturunkan melalui peningkatan kondisi fisik, psikologis, dan spiritual serta meningkatkan keterlibatan keluarga dalam menangani masalah terkait penyakit.Kata kunci : Ilness cognition, penyakit jantung koroner, rehabilitasi Ilness Cognition in Patient with Coronary Heart DeseaseAbstractParticipation of CHD patients in cardiac phase II rehabilitation program in one hospital in Bandung is low. It can be influenced by various factors. Illness cognition is believed as a predictor of the participation of CHD patients to follow cardiac rehabilitation. Illness cognition can affect the coping strategies of CHD patients used in choosing the action to be performed, whether it participates actively or passively in following cardiac rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to identify the illness cognition of CHD patients. This research was a quantitative descriptive research with cross sectional approach. Respondents were selected using consecutive sampling technique and it was obtained 66 respondents within one month. Data were obtained using Illness Cognition Questionnairre (ICQ). ICQ has a validity of 0.65 - 0.79 and a reliability of 0.88 - 0.91. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation. The results showed that the illness cognition of CHD patients mean and standard deviation from the highest to the lowest was as follows, perceived benefits (20.52 ± 2.89), acceptance (18.82 ± 3.02), and helplessness (12.94 ± 4.72). These results reflected that the illness cognition of CHD patients had a higher positive aspect than the negative aspect. Based on this research, it was concluded that illness cognition in CHD patients undergoing hospitalization was generally good. This was probably due to the use of adaptive coping. The high aspect of helplessness in some CHD patients can be decreased by improving physical, psychological and spiritual conditions and increasing family involvement in dealing with disease-related problems.Keywords : Coronary heart desease , illness cognition, rehabilitation

Body Image Perception

Aging leads to psychological losses and various physical changes that, associated with body-stereotyped patterns imposed by society, can cause disturbances in the body image perception (BIP) in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate BIP in older adults living in the city of Campina Grande / PB and its relationship with different anthropometric and body composition indicators. This cross-sectional study was carried out with older adults of both sexes enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of Campina Grande, PB. BIP was considered as a dependent variable and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triceps skinfold (TSF), and arm fat area (AFA) as independent variables. The association between BIP and anthropometric indicators was verified using the Pearson chi-square test (X²), simple and multiple logistic regression, with significance level of p <0.05. Overall, 420 older adults were interviewed (68.1% women), of whom 409 reported their actual body image perception. Regarding the perception of idealized body image, 11 individuals did not respond and 230 were satisfied, since 179 desired another silhouette. Individuals with BMI indicative of overweight / obesity were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction compared to those with normal weight. Subjects with excessive TSF showed greater body image dissatisfaction in relation to those with normal weight. Women were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction. Thus, it was observed that variables BMI, TSF and sex were independently associated with body image satisfaction.
