THE INFLUENCE OF PARENT PRESENCE IN INFLECTIVE INVASIVE MEASURES OF INFUSING ON RECIPRENT ACCEPTANCE OF CHILDREN AGE PRE SCHOOL IN CHILDREN HOSPITAL ISLAM SURABAYA

Abstract

The invasive intervention in applying infusion to children is a painful experience. It is said to be the stressor for them, which makes the nurse difficult to apply the infusion. The parental accompaniment can overcome the problem that occurs when doing this in order to make children accept the infusion. The researcher tried to develop a research about the influence of the parental accompaniment in the invasive intervention of applying infusion toward the preschool children 's response in accepting infusion in the pediatric ward of Surabaya Islamic General Hospital. The design of research was cross sectional. The total populations involved in this research were 30 samples. The independent variable was the parental accompaniment, whereas the dependent one was the children's response. To find out the influence among the variables, the researcher used the rank Spearman statistical test and the SPSS for Windows with the significance level a < 0. 05. The result showed that 60% of the pre-school children's response toward the invasive intervention in applying irifusion was good, whereas 80% of the quality of parental accompaniment was good. The good quality of parents' presence illustrated that 75% of the children's response was also good. Furthermore, the research revealed that p = 0. 00. Therefore, the hypothesis of the research was accepted which meant that there was an influence of parental accompaniment in the invasive intervention of applying infusion toward the preschool children's response of acceptance in the pediatric ward of Surabaya Islamic General Hospital. Therefore, the nurse should give the children time and opportunity of being accompanied by their parents during applying infusion. They should also explain them about what they should do when accompanying their children by showing their relaxing feeling and support, as well as teaching, loving, and caring for them so that the quality of their presence increases.
