Pada umumnya, pasien post operasi apendektomi lebih cenderung berbaring di tempat tidur karena pasien masih mempunyai rasa takut untuk bergerak. Kurangnya pemahaman pasien mengenai mobilisasi dini juga menyebabkan pasien enggan untuk melakukan pergerakan post operasi. Faktor yang menghambat pasien untuk melakukan mobilisasi dini disebabkan oleh kekhawatiran kalau tubuh digerakkan pada posisi tertentu setelah operasi akan mempengaruhi luka operasi yang belum sembuh dan robekan di tempat luka. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi bagaimana pengaruh edukasi mobilisasi dini dengan metode demonstrasi terhadap tingkat kemandirian mobilisasi dini pada pasien post operasi apendektomi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah quasi-exsperimen dengan desain One group pretest-posttest design. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan Purposive Sampling (Judgmental Sampling) dengan jumlah sampel 32 pasien post operasi apendektomi yang di rawat di RSUD dr. H. Jusuf SK. Hasil uji statistic menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test nilai p value 0,001 nilai tersebut lebih kecil dari α 0,05 dengan demikian Hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima Ho ditolak artinya terdapat pengaruh signifikan antara tingkat kemandirian mobilisasi dini pada pasien post operasi apendektomi sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan intervensi edukasi mobilisasi dini dengan metode demonstrasi.

Patients who had appendectomy surgery were inclined to lie in bed because they were still afraid of moving around. The patient's need for more understanding about early mobilization also causes the patient to be reluctant to perform postoperative movements, Concerns that moving the body in particular positions after surgery will impact the unhealed surgical wounds and tears at the wound site are among the factors that prevent patients from carrying out early mobilization. The purpose of this study was to identify how the effect of early mobilization education with the demonstration method on the level of independence of early mobilization in postoperative appendectomy patients. The research method used was a quasiexperiment With a one-group pretest-posttest design. Purposive sampling (judgmental sampling) was used with 32 patients treated at Dr, H, Jusuf SK Hospital after appendectomy surgery. The results of statistical testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test have a p-value of0.001, which was less than 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. HO was rejected, indicating that there was a substantial influence on the level of independence of early mobilization in postoperative appendectomy patients before and after early mobilization education using the demonstration method intervention.
