Abstract


Mikroflora normal vagina merupakan faktor kesehatan yang penting bagi wanita. Penurunan jumlah Lactobacillus spp berhubungan dengan perubahan flora vagina dan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme patogen sehingga menyebakan infeksi pada vagina. Bakterial Vaginosis merupakan gangguan pada mikoflora vagina dimana secara normal didominasi oleh Lactobacillus spp. Pada studi cross sectional, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara bakterial vaginosis dengan banyak infeksi menular seksual termasuk Gonore, infeksi Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis dan HIV. Data pada kelompok pekerja wanita cleaning service di RS Islam Sultan Agung Semarang menunjukkan sebagian besar berusia 20– 40 tahun. Pendidikan terakhir terbanyak adalah SMA (68,9%). Usia pernikahan terbanyak adalah > 5 tahun – 10 tahun (37,9). Sebanyak 48,2 % peserta belum pernah mendapatkan informasi tentang keputihan sebelumnya. Pengetahuan tentang keputihan fisiologis dan patologis belum banyak dimengerti oleh masyarakat khususnya dalam hal ini adalah pekerja cleaning service. Kegiatan yang diusulkan sebagai solusi adalah pemberian penyuluhan tentang keputihan dan pemeriksaan sekret vagina untuk deteksi awal bakterial vaginosis. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah terdapat sebanyak 25 dari 29 peserta (86,2%) mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan tentang keputihan. Dari hasil pemeriksaan sekret vagina didapatkan hasil sebanyak 26 peserta memiliki pH normal (3-4), sedangkan sebanyak 3 peserta memiliki hasil pH > 4,5 dan mengalami bakterial vaginosis. 

Normal vaginal microflora is an important health factor for women. The decrease in the number of Lactobacillus spp is associated with changes in the vaginal flora and the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that cause vaginal infections. Bacterial Vaginosis is a disorder of the vaginal microflora which is normally dominated by Lactobacillus species. In a cross-sectional study, there was a significant association between bacterial vaginosis and many sexually transmitted infections including Gonorrhea, Chlamydia infection, Trichomoniasis and HIV. Data on the group of cleaning service workers at the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital in Semarang shows that most are 20–40 years old. Most recent education is high school (68.9%). The most age of marriage is > 5 years – 10 years (37.9). As many as 48.2% of participants had never received information about vaginal discharge before. Knowledge about physiological and pathological leucorrhoea is not widely understood by the public, especially in this case cleaning service workers. Activities proposed as a solution are the provision of counseling about vaginal discharge and examination of vaginal secretions to detect early bacterial vaginosis. The result of this community service activity was that 25 of the 29 participants (86.2%) experienced an increase in knowledge about vaginal discharge. From the results of vaginal secretion examination, it was found that 26 participants had a normal pH (3 -4), while 3 participants had a pH > 4.5 and experienced bacterial vaginosis.
