Penerapan Yoga terhadap Penurunan Nyeri pada Nelayan dengan Low Back Pain (LBP) di Puskesmas Tambak Wedi Kecamatan Kenjeran Surabaya

Nelayan memiliki risiko tinggi mengalami Low Back Pain (LBP) akibat beban kerja fisik dan postur tidak ergonomis; intervensi non-farmakologis seperti senam yoga potensial menurunkan intensitas nyeri. Menentukan penerpan pemberian yoga terhadap penurunan nyeri pada nelayan dengan LBP di Puskesmas Tambak Wedi, Kecamatan Kenjeran, Surabaya. Penelitian quasi-experimental (studi kasus) melibatkan 15 responden nelayan yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Tingkat nyeri diukur pra- dan pasca-intervensi menggunakan Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS). Intervensi senam yoga diberikan secara terstruktur selama dua minggu di Puskesmas dengan observasi partisipasi dan respons. Sebelum intervensi, 66.7% (n=10) responden dikategorikan nyeri tinggi (QBPDS
15–20), 26.7% sedang, dan 6.6% ringan. Setelah dua minggu senam yoga, kategori
nyeri tinggi menurun menjadi 13.3% (n=2), sedang 26.7% (n=4), dan ringan meningkat menjadi 60.0% (n=9), menunjukkan perbaikan fungsi dan penurunan persepsi nyeri. Senam yoga yang diberikan secara terstruktur efektif menurunkan intensitas nyeri LBP pada nelayan; direkomendasikan sebagai intervensi non- farmakologis yang dapat diintegrasikan dalam program puskesmas.

Fishermen face elevated risk of low back pain (LBP) due to heavy physical work and non-ergonomic postures. Yoga is a promising non-pharmacological intervention to reduce LBP severity. To examine the effect of a structured yoga exercise program on pain reduction among fishermen with LBP at Puskesmas Tambak Wedi, Kenjeran, Surabaya. A quasi-experimental (case study) design was used with 15 fisherman participants. Pain disability was assessed before and after intervention using the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS). A structured yoga program was delivered over two weeks with facilitator observation and participant monitoring. Pre-intervention, 66.7% (n=10) of participants were classified as high pain (QBPDS 15–20), 26.7% moderate, and 6.6% mild. After two weeks of yoga, high pain decreased to 13.3% (n=2), moderate remained 26.7% (n=4), and mild increased to 60.0% (n=9), indicating improved function and reduced pain perception. Structured yoga exercise effectively reduced LBP intensity among fishermen and is recommended as an accessible community-based non-pharmacological therapy.
