Abstract

Background: Cigarette smoking and the abuse of Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Other Addictive Substances (NAPZA) remain major public health issues that negatively impact physical, mental, and social health. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to peer influence, environmental exposure, and limited knowledge about the long-term risks of smoking and NAPZA. In RT 11 and RT 12 RW 03, Kelurahan Kuala Lempuing, household smoking and low awareness about NAPZA dangers remain prevalent.Aims: This community service activity aims to increase adolescents’ knowledge and awareness of the dangers of cigarette smoking and NAPZA abuse, as well as prevention strategies.Methods: The intervention was conducted through health education using lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and informational leaflets. A pre-test and post-test design was applied to 26 participants from RT 11 and RT 12, RW 03, Kelurahan Kuala Lempuing, on December 18, 2025. Data were analyzed descriptively to compare pre-test and post-test scores.Results: Participants’ knowledge improved after the intervention. Before education, smoking knowledge was fair among 53.8% and poor among 46.2% of participants, while NAPZA knowledge was fair among 61.5% and poor among 23.1%. After education, 92.3% of participants achieved good knowledge for both smoking and NAPZA, while 7.7% remained in the fair category.Conclusion: Health education improved community knowledge and awareness regarding smoking and NAPZA and supports ongoing educational programs to reduce smoking and NAPZA use in the target area.

Abstract

Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled abnormal cell growth that can spread to various organs of the body. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience various physical and psychological side effects, one of which is anxiety that may affect treatment success and patients’ quality of life. Therefore, non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to help reduce anxiety during the treatment process. This study aimed to determine the effect of exposure therapy on reducing anxiety in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and to compare its effectiveness with autogenic therapy at Dr. M. Yunus Regional Hospital, Bengkulu.This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving a pre-test and post-test with a control group. The sample consisted of 32 respondents selected using purposive sampling and divided into two groups: 16 respondents in the intervention group who received exposure therapy and 16 respondents in the control group who received autogenic therapy. Anxiety levels were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A) before and after the intervention. The therapy was administered for 30 minutes, three times per week for two weeks.The results showed that the mean anxiety score in the exposure therapy group decreased from 7.31 to 4.81, while the autogenic therapy group decreased from 7.50 to 4.38. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in anxiety scores before and after the intervention in both groups (p = 0.000). However, no significant difference was found between the two therapies (p = 0.058). Exposure therapy and autogenic therapy were both effective in reducing anxiety among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and may be used as alternative non-pharmacological nursing interventions.
