Abstract

BackgroundComplementary therapy is a therapeutic therapy to improve people's health status bypreventing and treating disease and improving health.To determine the effect of complementary wet cupping therapy on changes in immune systemhematological parameters in smoking and non-smoking fishing communities.MethodsThe research design used a Quasi-Experimental design with a pre-post test design. Thenumber of samples was 60 fishermen aged 20-50 years, which were divided into two groups,namely (1) group A: 30 smoking fishermen who were given wet cupping therapy, (2) groupB: 30 non-smoker fishermen were also given wet cupping therapy. This research took placeat the Coastal Health Center of Lalonggasumeeto. using the Paired Samples Test statisticaltest and the Wilcokson test, this study has ethical approval No. LB.02.01/4/2021, from thehealth ethics commission, Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health KendariResultsThere was a change after being given wet cupping therapy, the value of hematologicalparameters related to immunity in smoking fishermen, namely WBC, neutrophils, andlymphocytes with significant values (P<0.05), while in non-smoking fishermen after wetcupping therapy, the values of hematological parameters related with immunity, significantvalues (P < 0.05) were found in WBC, HB, neutrophils, lymphocytes, basofil, neutrophils,and eosinophils.ConclusionComplementary wet cupping therapy is beneficial and recommended to improve the health and endurance of coastal communities, fishermen who smoke and fishermen who do notsmoke.Keywords: Fishermen, Smoking, Wet cupping therapy, hematology, immunity.
