Abstract: Chronic Kidney Failure Patients who undergo hemodialysis (HD) have complex problems such as dry skin
that often triggers itching, itching is experienced by patients with chronic renal failure results in a disturbance
in skin moisture. VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) is pure coconut oil which is used to treat complaints of itching
and dry skin experienced by clients. The purpose of this research to determine the effect of VCO (Virgin
Coconut Oil) therapy on skin moisture in clients with Chronic Kidney Failure with Hemodialysis at RS Grand
Mark Lubuk Pakam. The design of this research is Quasi experimental, Design with non equivalent pretest-
posttest control group design, using control group and intervention group. The sample consisted of 52
respondents, consisting of 26 respondents as an intervention group who was given VCO therapy and 26
respondents as a control group. The statistical test used was the Dependent T test and the Independent T test.
The results showed that there was a significant influence between the control group and the intervention group
before and after the intervention (P Value = 0,000). The results of this study can be used as an alternative
therapy for clients experiencing skin dryness using VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil), especially in clients with
chronic kidney failure with hemodialysis.
1 INTRODUCTION
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a chronic disease
that progressively damages the kidneys and disrupts
the balance of fluids and body electrolytes that affect
the whole systems. (Hasneli, 2017). World Health
Organization (WHO) released data on growth for the
number of people with chronic kidney failure in the
world in 2013 increased by 50% from the previous
year and in America the incidence of chronic kidney
failure increased by 50% in 2014 and every year
200.000 Americans undergo hemodialysis. The
incidence of kidney failure in the world globally is
more than 500 million people and those who have to
undergo hemodialis around 1.5 million people
(Yuliana, 2015). It is estimated that the number of
CKD sufferers in Indonesia is around 70,000 people
and those undergoing hemodialysis are 10,000 people
(Tandi, Mongan, & Manoppo, 2014 in Hasneli,
2017).
In one third of CKD patients complain of
symptoms of lack of energy (76%), pruritus (74%),
drowsiness (65%), dyspnea (61%), edema (58%),
pain (53%), dry mouth (50%) , muscle cramps (50%),
lack of appetite (47%), poor concentration (44%), dry
skin (42%), sleep disturbance (41%), and
constipation (35%). (Aisara, 2018).
Uremic pruritus is a common complication and
affects the quality of life of patients with Terminal
Chronic Kidney Failure undergoing Hemodialysis
(HD). Uremic pruritus is most often described as a
daily or almost daily itching event that stretches
bilateral symmetrical surface area. Uremic pruritus
can vary from general itching that attacks the back,
face and arms. (Daryaswanti, 2018).
Uremic pruritus has no specific etiology, but
several factors that cause pruritus are mentioned such
as dry skin, reduced transidermal elimination of
pruritogenic factors, hyperparathyroidism, increased
histamine levels, increased mast cell proliferation in
the skin and increased levels of calcium, magnesium
and high phosphate. Non-pharmacological
interventions that have been studied can reduce
uremic pruritus, including the provision of
acupuncture (Kim, Lee, Choi, & Ernst, 2010) and the
provision of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) (Melastuti
2016).

Dry skin that appears in patients with chronic
renal failure with hemodialysis is usually caused by
atrophy of the sebaceous glands, impaired function of
external secretions, and impaired hydration of the
stratum corneum. Dry skin in patients with
hemodialysis who have pruritus has lower hydration
than hemodialysis patients without pruritus
complaints (Roswati, 2013).
Dry skin in pruritus is caused by vitamin A
retention due to reduced kidney function to excrete
substances that are not needed by the body. So that
Vitamin A will accumulate in subcutaneous tissue.
Too much vitamin will cause atrophy of the
sebaceous glands and sweat glands so that the skin
becomes dry and itchy.
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is pure coconut oil
produced from the processing of coconut meat
without heating or through heating at low
temperatures so as to produce oil with a clear color
and free of free radicals due to heating (Handayani et
al, 2011). The content of fatty acids (especially lauric
and oleic acids) in VCO has character that can soften
the skin. VCO is effectively used as a moisturizer on
the skin so it can increase skin hydration and
accelerate healing of the skin (Agero & Verallo-
Rowell, 2004; Lucida et al, 2008 in Rukmana, 2017).
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) also contains natural
moisturizers and contains moderate chain saturated
fatty acids that easily enter the inner skin layers and
maintain skin elasticity and suppleness. Lauric acid
and capric acid contained in virgin coconut oil can kill
viruses. In the body, lauric acid is converted into
monocaprin; these compounds include
monoglyceride compounds that are antiviral,
antibacterial, antibiotic and antiprotozo. (Meliyana,
2017). Giving of virgin coconut oil (VCO) aims to
prevent injury to the skin due to friction from the
massage action. Pure coconut oil has antiseptic
effects and is used as an efficient and safe skin
moisturizer (Debmandal & Mandal, 2011).
2 RESEARCH METHODS
This research was conducted at Grandmed Hospital,
located at Jl Raya Medan, No.66, Lubuk Pakam. The
research was conducted in February - July 2019. This
type of research is a quasi-experimental design with
pre-test and post-test two groups. The research
sample consisted of 25 people and was divided into 2
groups: group I was given VCO (Virgin Coconat Oil)
intervention and Group II was not given VCO
intervention but only given a questionnaire with a
sample size of 25 people each, with an estimated drop
out of 10% (3 people), then a sample of 27 people in
the intervention group and 27 in the control group.
When doing research in the course of research in the
intervention group died 1 person and in the control
group also died 1 person so that the total sample is
now 26 for the intervention group and 26 control
groups.
Figure 1: Research groove
In this research, the type of research that used is
quasi experimental Design with a non equivalent
Pretest-Posttest control group design. The population
in the study was all clients of chronic kidney failure
with hemodialysis in the hemodialysis room at the
Grand Medistra Hospital in Lubuk Pakam in
February-July 2019 totaling 198 people. The sample
in this study was taken by purposive sampling
technique. In this study, the total sample of the study
was 52 people with 26 respondents in the control
group and 26 respondents in the intervention group.
The instrument which used was a tool to measure
skin moisture (SK-IV Digital Moisture for Skin
Monitor). Inclusion criteria in this study are: (1)
Patients undergoing regular hemodialysis twice a
week, (2) Patients have dry skin with a value of 0-
35%. The drop out criteria in this research is: (1)
Patients die before a post test, (2) Patients who resign
during the implementation of the intervention.
Scores that is used to calculate skin moisture from
a scale (SK-IV Digital Moisture for Skin Monitor) are
dry skin 0-35%, normal skin 36-45%, moist skin that
is 46-100%.

2.1 Virgin Coconat Oil (VCO)
Virgin coconut oil is pure coconut oil that is made
without heating or with minimal heating. The using
of virgin coconut oil as a skin and hair care ingredient
has been carried out by Indonesian people for
generations. Coconut is a fruit plant that is widely
available in Indonesia and is generally used as a food
ingredient in the form of processed fresh coconut
meat or made oil for cooking and caring for the body.
Processed oil from coconut meat consists of 2 types,
namely oil which is processed from copra raw
material (dried coconut meat) and oil which is
processed from raw materials of fresh coconut or
coconut milk. Processing of raw materials of fresh
coconut produces virgin coconut oil.
How to make VCO: with a mechanical process, in
this method, coconut meat is dried quickly and then
pressed until the oil comes out. In this way 90% oil
and 10% water will be obtained. The water separated
from the oil is separated while the water contained in
the oil is heated quickly to evaporate.

2.2 Skin Moisture
Skin moisture is a state of moisture in the stratum
corneum and a balance between evaporation of water
and the ability of the skin to retain water. Skin that
has decreased moisture can cause cracks, allowing
germs that can cause infections into the body. Skin
hydration and mucous membranes help uncover the
imbalance of body fluids, changes in the skin
environment, and regulation of body temperature.
Skin moisture level can be measured using
digital devices which are currently widely used in the
beauty and health fields. Skin Moisture Meter FCM1
has the special ability to measure skin's moisture
level. In the skin analyzer, has an LCD screen that
serves to display data on the measurement of skin
moisture. This tool has a design and shape that is
small and portable so that it can be carried anywhere.
Skin moisture measurement is done in a very short
time, that is, within 6 seconds and appears as a
percentage figure.
Standard values of moisture to the skin on the arm are:
0-35%: very dry skin, 36-45%: normal skin, 46-
100%: moist skin.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Characteristics of Respondents
Distribution of respondent data based on the age of
the majority aged 30-45 years in the intervention
group amounted to 14 people or 53.8%, while the age
of respondents in the control group 46-55 years
amounted to 11 people or 42.3%, which is the
productive age, where the pattern changes Eat and
consume frequent supplement drinks often at this age.
Whereas respondents based on sex in the majority
of the intervention group were male, 14 people or
53.8%, and in the majority control group there were
22 people or 84.6%, and in the education group for
the intervention group of primary education and
education middle school is in the number of 11 people
or 42.3%, while in the control group secondary
education is in the number of 11 people or 42.3%. In
the work of the majority of respondents working as
traders in the intervention group as many as 7 people
or 26.9%, and in the work control group others as
many as 6 people or 23.1% ie respondents who do not
work cannot continue their previous work due to
health conditions decreased, while the duration of HD
0-5 years in the intervention group was 16 people or
61.5% and in the control group the duration of HD 0-
5 years was 23 people or 88.5%. It was caused by
habits in consuming foods that contain gout and low
habits in consuming drinking water.

the intervention (post test), which is the mean value ±
SD (41.08 ± 5.95), while the control group shows a
decrease in the mean post test value (21.12 ± 4.44) .
An increase in the mean value in this treatment group
showed an increase in skin moisture in chronic renal
failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. Wilcoxon
test results showed a significant value in the treatment
group (p = 0,000).
3.3 The Effect of VCO Giving on CKF
Patients' Skin Moisture
VCO has been done for one week shows significance
which means that there is an effect of giving VCO to
skin moisture in patients with CRF. This research is
in accordance with the results of the study
(Evangelista, Casintah, & Villafuerte, 2014) which
mentioned the superior effect of VCO that topically
applied oils not only coat but also penetrate the skin
and have anti-inflammatory activity. VCO has
saturated fat and contains 62% of medium chain fatty
acids which may give greater permease. The results
of the research (Sukarja, 2016) the administration of
cutaneous stimulation and VCO resulted in fatty acids
binding to sweat and then coating the surface of the
skin so that it can hold water in the stratum corneum
so that the skin becomes moist.
In patients undergoing hemodialysis due to
chronic renal failure, various skin lesions will appear,
and the most common being dry skin. In 100
hemodialysis patients, 79% of patients experience dry
skin (Ankudowicz, 2016). Chronic Kidney Failure
can cause changes in the sweat glands and oil glands
which causes the skin to lose its natural ability to
moisturize itself. This condition can also be caused by
changes in metabolism in CKF, which are interrelated
with fluid volume from patients undergoing dialysis
(Perry, Anne Griffin, Potter, Patricia A., Stockert,
Patricia A., Hall, 2013).
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is coconut oil obtained
from fresh coconut meat through natural processes,
without bleaching, without purification and
deodorizing. The main component of VCO is medium
chain fatty acids, especially about 50% lauric acid.
Unlike traditional coconut oil, the process of making
VCO does not use high temperature heating so that
free radicals do not form unsaturated fatty acids and
the natural antioxidant content is not lost. VCO
applied to the skin will affect body tissues, especially
connective tissue, making the skin moist.
Skin moisture pre-test values in the treatment
group and control group of all patients were at a very
dry level (100%). Post-test results in the control
group, all patients are still at a very dry level, this is
because in this group did not get. Some of the usual
interventions performed by patients in the control
group in dealing with dry skin is by bathing using
baby soap or using lotion.
Whereas in the treatment group after being given
a VCO intervention for one week, 11 people (42.3%)
had normal skin, 9 people (34.6%) had moist skin,
and 6 (23%) skin was still very dry. Although 6
people in the treatment group were still at very dry
skin level, but when viewed from the raw value, there
was an increase in the value of the six people. As
many as 17 people after being given an intervention
have not been at the level of the skin becomes moist.
As many as 11 people who were previously on the
level of dry skin to normal skin, there is an increase
in value of approximately 20 points. While as many
as 6 people remain in dry skin conditions even though
there is an increase in value in quantity. This is
because the skin moisture value during the pre test is
at a very low value (<21%), so to reach the normal
The Effect of Virgin Coconut Oil Therapy for Skin Moisture in Chronic Kidney Client
615
value requires a considerable increase in points.
Increasing the value of the six people is
approximately 15 points. Skin conditions in each
patient are certainly not always the same, several
factors that cause these patients are still in the
condition of dry skin after one week of intervention
due to atrophy of the sebaceous glands associated
with decreased lipid surface that causes dehydration
of the stratum corneum (Masmoudi 2014). In
addition, the length of time a patient undergoes HD
can also influence, due to the decrease in sweat glands
along with the abnormal function associated with
hypervitaminosis A when the patient undergoes
dialysis (Ankudowikcz, 2018; Mendez, 2015).
It varies in post-test humidity values that appeared
in the intervention group did not affect itching in
patients. Moisture level of the skin is very dry, normal
and moist after one week of intervention, giving the
effect of reducing itching on the patient's skin. It
shows VCO intervention given can reduce the itching
experienced by patients even though the patient's skin
is still at a very dry level. The reduction in itching felt
by the patient is caused by VCO administration.
According to Evangelista's research (2014), VCO can
reduce score in Atopic Dermatitis patients, VCO can
also moisturize the skin and reduce pruritus scores
without giving antihistamines. Pruritus resolution can
be explained by concomitant improvement in barrier
function on the skin. Disorders of the skin barrier alter
epidermal innervation and increase nerve density in
the skin.
4 CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the statistical tests and the
discussion above, it can be concluded that Giving of
VCO intervention increases skin moisture in patients
with chronic renal failure in theGrandMed Lubuk
Pakam Hospital. Through the main components of
VCO are Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs)
especially about 50% lauric acid when applied to the
skin with a soft and uniform touch, will bind to sweat
and coat the surface of the skin by holding water in
the stratum corneum.
5 SUGGESTION
For hospitals in general, it is hoped that VCO
interventions can be complementary therapies to help
overcome the problem of dry, itchy skin in other
patients except for patients with CKF.
For the next researchers, it is hoped that further
research can be measured by measuring ureum
creatinine after being given a VCO intervention on
the itching experienced by the patient or measuring
the endogeneous morphine level of the patient related
to comfort after being given a VCO intervention.
