Abstract

Problems experienced by leprosy sufferers include interference with nerve function. As a result of the existence of peripheral nerve disorders in people with leprosy, will lead to problems including mutilation absorbs, blindness, stiffness in the fingers, dry and cracked skin, infections. Disabilities experienced by leprosy sufferers can get worse due to lack of independence in terms of caring for themselves and injuries. This disease requires continuous and complete treatment until self-care independence can be achieved. Lack of management and accuracy of strategy by agencies and nurses causes health education and education to patients also getting narrower, so nurses need to make appropriate follow-up plans for patients. This study aims to analyze the effect of providing education with demonstration methods on the self-care of leprosy patients with self-care deficits. The research design used is quantitative research with a Preexperimental

design using the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The population in this study was all leprosy inpatients in the jasmine room, the population on May 14 to June 9 2020 was 47. Samples were taken by nonprobability sampling technique with consecutive sampling. Samples were taken from the inclusion criteria with a total of 30. The independent variable in this study Providing education with demonstration methods and the dependent variable is self-care independence. Self-care independence is measured through the instrument namely self-care questionnaire. The data is tested using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Wilcoxon test analysis results show the value of p value 0,000 <alpha (0.05) then H0 is rejected, which means there is an influence of providing education with demonstration methods on the self-care independence of leprosy patients with self care deficits. By providing education with the demonstration method there is an influence on the level of self-care independence in leprosy patients. This is due to changes in the behavior of leprosy patients who experience less independence to good independence after being given an intervention that is providing education with a demonstration method.
