Correlation between Health Locus of Control with Intention to Perform Cataract Surgery in the Area of Public Health Center of Tempurejo Jember
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. Cataract can be healed by surgery. The number of cataract surgery in Indonesia is still low. The small number of cataract surgery in Indonesia happens because they have low health locus of control. Health locus of control (HLC) is an individual’s belief that her or his health is dependent upon her or his own behavior until the person has intention in which the time is correct it causes the person take an appropriate action to do something related with the healthy. This study aims to analyze the relations between HLC and intention to perform cataract surgery in the Public Health Centre of Tempurejo, Jember. Independent variable on this study is HLC and the dependent variable is surgery intention on the cataract patients. The research design was analytic observational with a cross-sectional method. Sampling technique in this research it was probability sampling by simple random sampling. The research sample was 84 people using G*Power 3. The result of the statistic test using Spearman rank showed a positive correlation with weak correlation strength between health locus of control with the intention to perform cataract surgery (p-value = 0,001 and r = 0,396). One must have confidence in the source of its health control in order to improve the intention of performing cataract surgery. Health worker role is to increase HLC and intention of cataract patient so that can improve health degrees.
