Pengaruh Metode Demonstrasi Tentang Sadari terhadap Pengetahuan dan Sikap Remaja Putri di SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam

Abstract

Many breast cancer sufferers are found in their teens attacking tumors in their breasts, where tumors can potentially become cancerous if not known earlier. The BSE program is an effort to prevent early breast cancer. However, despite the success of the program, in fact there are still many women who do not understand what BSE really is. Survey at the SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam showed that out of 10 young women interviewed there were 8 young women who were very lacking in knowledge and only 2 young women who had fairly good knowledge about breast cancer and BSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of demonstration methods about BSE on the knowledge and attitudes of young women at SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam. This type of research is quasi – experimental research design wit a non – equivalent control group design that uses group demonstration methods and group discussions. The total population is all young women at SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam with a sample of 38 people using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with the results of the research showing that the demonstration method group based on the results of the pretest and posttest with the Wilcoxon test showed an increase in knowledge with a prior value from 5.47 to 13.74 and showed an increase in attitude with a prior value from 36.53 to 50.21 with P =0.000. Based on the results of the group pretest and posttest with the group discussion method also showed the effect of increasing knowledge with a prior value of 5.95 to 11.26 and an increase in attitude with a prior value of 34.42 to 46.74 with P = 0.000. ifferences in knowledge in the demonstration group with an average value of 13.74 and group discussions resulted in a total of 11.26. Attitudes have an average difference in the demonstration group of 50.21 and the group discussion produces a total of 46.74. It can be concluded that the demonstration method has more influence on increasing knowledge and attitudes of young women at SMA Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam. It is suggested to health agencies and educational institutions to make the demonstration method about BSE as an alternative for health promotion, especially in Deli Serdang Regency.
