ABSTRACT Early mobilization after appendectomy is important to prevent complications and accelerate recovery. However, patient compliance with early mobilization is still low in surgical inpatient wards. To determine the effect of alarm reminders on the level of compliance with early mobilization in post-appendectomy patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Yogyakarta. Quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design without randomization. The sample consisted of 34 respondents (intervention n=17, control n=17). Compliance was measured using an observation sheet and analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The intervention group showed a significant increase in compliance after the alarm reminder was given (p 0.000). The control group did not show a significant change after standard educational care (p 0.000). There was a significant difference between the groups in the final measurement (p 0.001). The mean rank difference between the intervention and control groups was 13.48, indicating that the alarm reminder was more effective. The alarm reminder significantly increased early mobilization compliance in post-appendectomy patients. Keywords: Alarm Reminder, Early Mobilization, Compliance, Appendectomy. ABSTRAK Mobilisasi dini pasca apendektomi penting untuk mencegah komplikasi dan mempercepat pemulihan. Namun, kepatuhan pasien terhadap mobilisasi dini masih rendah di ruang rawat inap bedah. mengetahui pengaruh reminder alarm terhadap tingkat kepatuhan mobilisasi dini pada pasien pasca apendektomi di RS PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Penelitian quasi-experimental dengan pretest-posttest control group design tanpa randomisasi. Sampel 34 responden (intervensi n=17, kontrol n=17). Kepatuhan diukur dengan lembar observasi dan dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dan Mann-Whitney. Kelompok intervensi menunjukkan peningkatan kepatuhan signifikan setelah pemberian reminder alarm (p 0,000). Kelompok kontrol tidak menunjukkan perubahan signifikan setelah perawatan edukasi standar (p 0,000). Terdapat perbedaan signifikan antar kelompok pada pengukuran akhir (p 0,001). Selisih mean rank antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol adalah 13,48, menunjukkan reminder alarm lebih efektif. Reminder alarm secara signifikan meningkatkan kepatuhan mobilisasi dini pada pasien pasca-apendektomi. Kata Kunci: Reminder Alarm, Mobilisasi Dini, Kepatuhan, Apendektomi.
