Abstract :
Introduction: Bronchial asthma is a disorder
of the respiratory system that occurs when the bronchi
experience inflammation and hyperresponsiveness,
causing narrowing of the respiratory tract, causing
difficulty breathing. Bronchial asthma is reversible,
meaning that the patient's condition can be good again
outside the attack. Recurrence in bronchial asthma
needs attention because limited knowledge in efforts to
prevent recurrence in bronchial asthma causes the
higher severity of asthma disease suffered, while in the
event of a recurrence will be able to reduce productivity
and increase the economic burden. Methods: The design
used in this study is descriptive research design. The
number of samples in this study were 30 respondents,
taken from the population of all Bronchial Asthma
patients who sought treatment at the Pulmonary Clinic
of Ibnu Sina Hospital, Gresik Regency using purposive
sampling technique. Data were collected through
questionnaire sheets after the data were collected,
tabulated and analysed descriptively. Results: From the
results obtained showed that the level of knowledge in
efforts to prevent recurrence of bronchial asthma
patients in the Pulmonary Clinic of Ibnu Sina Gresik
Hospital in March-June 2013 collected from 30
respondents obtained most of the respondents classified
as a good level of knowledge and a small proportion of
respondents classified as a level of knowledge less.
Analysis and Discussion: Based on the results of the
study most respondents classified as a good level of
knowledge. It is expected that respondents who have this
good level of knowledge can understand which can then
be applied to prevent asthma recurrence in everyday life.
In addition, respondents who have a poor level of
knowledge should be more active in asking local
midwives or nurses or health workers at the Pulmonary
Clinic. And it is also necessary to hold counselling on
efforts to prevent recurrence of bronchial asthma once a
month at the village hall or at the Pulmonary Poly, so
that people with bronchial asthma either visiting the
Pulmonary Poly or not can get information that can
increase knowledge.
