Abstract :
Tuberculosis paru merupakan salah satu penyakit tertua yang saat ini
masih menjadi penyebab utama kesakitan dan kematian di dunia terutama
Negara sedang berkembang. Kurang lebih sepertiga penduduk dunia telah
terinfeksi Mycobacterium tuberculosis walaupun mereka belum jatuh sakit.
Penurunan sistem imun, seperti pada orang yang terinfeksi Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), malnutrisi, diabetes mellitus dan perokok
memiliki risiko terbesar untuk menderita Tuberculoisi paru.(Rumilang & Sari,
2024). Terdapat perbedaan saturasi oksigen sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan
intervensi teknik pernapasan pursed lips breathing. Saat dilakukan teknik
pernafasan pursed lips pasien mampu memahami dan mengikuti instruksi
yang disampaikan oleh penulis. Setelah dilakukan intervensi selama 6 jam dan
dilakukan pengukuran pernapasan dan tingkat saturasi oksigen pada pasien,
terjadi perbedaan frekuensi nafas yang awanya 30x/menit menjadi 28x/menit
lalu pada pengukuran saturasi oksigen pada pasien yang awalnya 94%
menjadi bernilai 98%. Kesimpulan bahwa ada pengaruh pemberian teknik
pernapasan pursed lips. Diharapkan dapat menjadi sumber informasi untuk
meningkatkan pelayanan keperawatan khususnya pada pasien Tuberculosis
Paru.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases which is still a major
cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, especially in developing countries.
Approximately one third of the world's population has been infected with
Mycobacterium tuberculosis even though they have not fallen ill. Decreased immune
systems, such as in people infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
malnutrition, diabetes mellitus and smokers have the greatest risk of suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis. (Rumilang & Sari, 2024). There is a difference in oxygen
saturation before and after the pursed lips breathing technique intervention. When the
pursed lips breathing technique was performed, the patient was able to understand
and follow the instructions given by the author. After the intervention for 6 hours and
the measurement of breathing and oxygen saturation levels in patients, there was a
difference in breathing frequency which was initially 30x/minute to 28x/minute then
in the measurement of oxygen saturation in patients which was initially 94% to 98%.
The conclusion is that there is an effect of providing pursed lips breathing techniques.
It is expected to be a source of information to improve nursing services, especially in
patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
