Abstract

Thalassemia adalah kelainan gen yang ditandai dengan anemia parah. Penderita membutuhkan transfusi darah berkala untuk dapat bertahan hidup. Kelainan ini dapat ditemukan di seluruh dunia termasuk Indonesia. Prevalensi pembawa thalassemia di Indonesia mencapai 3,8%. Pembawa gen thalassemia tidak menunjukkan gejala, sehingga dimungkinkan pernikahan antara pembawa thalassemia yang berisiko melahirkan anak dengan thalassemia sebesar 25%. Thalassemia dapat dikendalikan dan dicegah dengan program yang komprehensif, mencakup: pendidikan, konseling genetik, skrining pra-nikah dan diagnosis sebelum bayi dilahirkan. Untuk itu dibutuhkan edukasi tentang thalassemia dan konseling pra-nikah kepada mahasiswa untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan mereka dan untuk mengetahui kemungkinan atau risiko-risiko yang dapat diderita oleh keturunan mereka. Sasaran kegiatan adalah mahasiswa Fakultas Hukum dan Fakultas Bahasa dan Sains, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini meliputi ceramah, diskusi interaktif serta pemberian kuisioner untuk mengukur pengetahuan tentang thalassemia dan mengetahui sikap mahasiswa terhadap konseling dan test pra-nikah. Berdasarkan evaluasi, disimpulkan pemberian edukasi thalassemia meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran mahasiswa pentingnya konseling dan tes pra-nikah untuk mencegah kelahiran anak-anak dengan thalassemia.
