Abstract
Introduction: Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal condition produced by overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria. Stress can alter women’s reproductive health in many ways; one of them is increasing the risk for bacterial vaginosis. In facing stressful life conditions, resilience plays an important role to maintain optimal function and prevent traumatic experience. Methods: This research was an analytical observational study with cross sectional design. Questionnaires were given to 104 women in reproductive age between November 2013 and January 2014. Resilience and stress were assessed using The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Self Reporting Questionnaire respectively, and bacterial vaginosis status was diagnosed using Amsel’s criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using chi square test and multiple logistic regressions. Results: Bivariate analysis showed significant relations between resilience (p=0,005), stress (p=0,002), frequency of sexual intercourse within 1 week (p= 0,015) and the bacterial vaginosis incidence. Multivariate analysis showed stress was the most influential factor OR=3,9 (95% CI=1,478–10,562). Discussion: Resilience and stress were significantly with increased risk of having bacterial vaginosisKeywords: resilience, stress, bacterial vaginosis, reproductive age women

Summary
Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Sampel yang diambil dalam penelitian ini adalah wanita usia subur yang tinggal di Kelurahan Bintaro dan Ampenan Selatan yang terkena dampak bencana gelombang pasang air laut pada 25 Mei 2013. Data diperoleh dengan menggunakan instrumen yang berisi data demografi, kuesioner untuk mengukur resiliensi menggunakan The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), pengukuran stres dengan Self Reporting Questionnaire pada masing-masing responden dan sekaligus skrining untuk masalah kesehatan reproduksi (vaginosis bakterial). Pada variabel stres yang diukur dengan kuesioner Self Reporting Questionnaire diperoleh nilai p-value 0,002 (p value < 0,05), sehingga disimpulkan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara stres dengan kejadian BV. Pada SRQ ini, yang termasuk kategori stres tinggi tetapi tidak mengalami BV sebanyak 9 responden (31%) dan yang mengalami BV sebanyak 20 responden (69%). Hasil analisis resiliensi diperoleh nilai p-value 0,009 ( p-value < 0,05), sehingga dapat disimpulkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan resiliensi dengan kejadian BV.
