Abstract

Rheumatism is a common health problem among the elderly, characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This condition can disrupt daily activities and reduce quality of life. To increase public awareness of rheumatism management, a community service program (KKN-T) program, including a ginger compress, was conducted in Hamlet 3, Sumber Sari Village, as part of the Community Service Program (KKN-T) program at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Twenty-five participants, the majority of whom were elderly, attended the program. The training covered the definition of rheumatism, its signs and symptoms, causes, and the benefits of ginger compresses as a non-pharmacological therapy. Demonstrations on how to make and apply ginger compresses were conducted in person to ensure proper practice. The results of the program demonstrated an increase in participants' understanding of rheumatism and its management. Participants were also able to try ginger compresses directly and experience the benefits of the warm sensation that helps reduce joint tension and pain. Ginger compress therapy is considered easy, safe, and effective as a supportive measure in reducing rheumatic pain in the elderly.

The population consisted of 265 students and 73 respondents were selected using proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using social media intensity and social anxiety questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-Square test) with a significance value α = 0,05. The results showed that most respondents had moderate social media use intensity, namely 63 respondents (86.3%), while most respondents experienced moderate social anxiety, namely 68 respondents (93.2%). Chi-Square analysis showed a p-value of 0.040 (p<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the intensity of social media use and social anxiety among adolescents. There is a significant relationship between the intensity of social media use and social anxiety among adolescents. The higher the intensity of social media use, the higher the risk of social anxiety
