Gambaran Kinesiophobia pada Pasien Post Op Fraktur Ekstremitas di RSD Dr. Soebandi Jember

Abstract

Surgical procedures for fracture patients can result in painful effects on the patient. Pain can occur due to various factors, including the patient's lack or even absence of early post-operative mobilization exercises. Patients complain of pain and feel afraid or hesitant to move after surgery. Patients who experience pain and are afraid of damage to the wound area will unconsciously limit their movement. Patients who feel pain and avoid activities to mobilize will experience kinesiophobia. This study aims to determine the description of kinesiophobia in post-extremity fracture surgery patients at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. This research design uses a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used in this research was a total sampling technique with a sample size of 51 respondents. Data was collected using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-17) questionnaire to measure kinesiophobia scores and analyzed using frequency distribution and percentages. The research results showed that 14 respondents (27.5%) experienced low kinesiophobia and 37 respondents (72.5%) experienced high kinesiophobia. It is necessary to identify the occurrence of kinesiophobia as an important problem when planning and implementing patient rehabilitation procedures. The high prevalence of kinesiophobia in post-operative patients indicates the need for a more supportive role from nurses to increase patient self-confidence during the rehabilitation phase during the hospitalization of patients with extremity fractures. Apart from the role of nurses, external motivation, especially from those closest to them such as family, must be increased for post-operative patients. Patients who have strong motivation will have maximum mobilization ability. With maximum early mobilization ability, patients will avoid kinesiophobia.
