PENERAPAN METODE DRILL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN PERSONAL HYGIENE MENSTRUASI PADA MURID CEREBRAL PALSY KELAS XII DI SLBN POLEWALI

Abstract

This study investigated the limited menstrual personal hygiene skills of a female student with cerebral palsy, as reflected in her inability to independently wear and remove sanitary pads. The study aimed to determine the improvement in menstrual personal hygiene skills through the implementation of the drill method for a twelfth-grade female student with cerebral palsy at SLBN Polewali. A quantitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed, focusing on changes in the student's performance before and after the implementation of the drill method. The research subject was a twelfth-grade female student diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy whose menstrual personal hygiene skills were categorized as less skilled. Data were collected using a performance test developed based on indicators of menstrual personal hygiene skills. The data were analyzed by comparing the pre-test and post-test results and describing the changes in the student's performance. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the student's menstrual personal hygiene skills, progressing from the less skilled category to the highly skilled category following the implementation of the drill method. These findings suggest that the drill method is effective in improving menstrual personal hygiene skills among female students with cerebral palsy.
