The Effect of Massage Using Virgin Coconut Oil for Risk Prevention on Immobility Pressure in ICU Patient

Abstract

This research aims to assign the effect of massage effleurage by using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) to prevent the risk of pressure sores on patients' immobility in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Abepura Regional General Hospital in Papua Province. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a post-test. The sample is the total population, i.e. all patients at risk of pressure sores in the Abepura Regional General Hospital Intensive Care Unit. A sample of 20 peoples was divided into two groups, and there are intervention and control. The intervention group received treatment for pressure sores according to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of massage effleurage with VCO. In contrast, the control group only received pressure sores treatment according to the SOP of the room. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho nonparametric statistical test. The results showed that the characteristics of respondents in the most age intervention group were <60 years (62.5%), women (75.0%), had a high risk (60.0%) with the ideal Body Mass Index (BMI) (57.1 %). Whereas in the most controlled age group was> 60 years (58.3%), men (66.7%), had a high risk (40.0%) with a fatter BMI (66.7%). The effect of standard steps without effleurage massage is that there are samples which have pressure sores (50.0%), and some do not have pressure sores (50.0%). The effect of standard actions with effleurage massage using VCO shows no pressure injury (100%). Rank Spearman correlation test results show that the value of sig (1-tailed) is 0.008, the results of calculations <0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between effleurage massage using Virgin Coconut Oil to prevent the risk of pressure sores.
