HUBUNGAN ANTARA POSISI SAAT BUANG AIR BESAR DAN FAKTOR RISIKO LAINNYA TERHADAP TERJADINYA HEMORRHOID

Abstract

Background: Hemorrhoids are dilatation of veins from a hemorrhoidal plexus because of the persistent high pressure. The objective of this study is to find out the relation of the defecate position and other risk factors with hemorrhoid’s incidence. Method: This was an analytic observational study with cross sectional design. The samples were 116 people who have fulfilled the inclusion criteria by purposive sampling. The primary data collected from anamnesis were based on the questionare and were analyzed using SPSS 15,0. Association was determined by prevalence ratio with confidential interval 95% and analyzed with the logistic regression. Result: Defecate position can not be told as a risk factor against hemorrhoid. (PR=1,2; CI 95%=0,672-2,144). Genetic factor (PR=2,5; CI 95%=1,460-4,253), tumor (PR=2,4 ; IK 95%=1,290-4,300) and liver sirrosis (PR=3,7 ; CI95%=2,723-4,966) are the risk factors of hemorrhoid. Low fiber (PR=1,3; CI95%=0,690-2,294) and asites are not the risk factors of hemorrhoid. Conclusion: Defecate position, low fiber and asites are not the risk factors of hemorrhoid. Genetic, tumor dan liver sirosis are the risk factors of hemorrhoid. Genetic factor is the highest risk to become hemorrhoid. Keyword: Hemorrhoid, defecate position
