Abstrak

Cedera kepala ringan (CKR) sering kali menimbulkan gejala pasca gegar otak (post-concussion symptoms/PCS) dan gangguan stres pasca trauma (post-traumatic stress disorder/PTSD), yang dapat menghambat pemulihan apabila tidak dikenali sejak dini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi PCS dan PTSD satu bulan setelah CKR serta menggambarkan karakteristik demografis dan klinis, termasuk usia, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, status pekerjaan, mekanisme cedera, dan komorbiditas. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif cross-sectional yang dilakukan dalam kurun waktu satu bulan pasca cedera pada pasien dengan CKR. Teknik pengambilan sample adalah purposive sampling untuk merekrut total 65 pasien. Data dikumpulkan pada bulan Agustus hingga Oktober 2024 di RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado, Sulawesi Utara. Statistik deskriptif digunakan untuk menganalisis PCS, PTSD, dan karakteristik demografis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 65 pasien dengan mTBI (rata-rata usia 30,69 tahun, 67,7% laki-laki), sebagian besar memiliki pendidikan >9 tahun (60,0%) dan tidak bekerja (61,5%). Kecelakaan lalu lintas merupakan penyebab cedera terbanyak (46,2%). Satu bulan pasca cedera, 33,8% mengalami gejala PCS dan 21,5% melaporkan gejala PTSD. Kesimpulan, PCS dan PTSD merupakan kondisi yang sering terjadi pada fase awal setelahCKR, terutama pada laki-laki muda dan mereka yang mengalami cedera akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya pengenalan gejala secara dini, edukasi pasien, dukungan psikologis, serta penguatan upaya keselamatan berkendara untuk mengurangi dampak CKR.
