Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with an increasing prevalence each year, leading to several severe consequences. A crucial aspect of diabetes care is dietary management; however, adherence to a diet often causes stress in patients. Self-management knowledge and competency contribute significantly to a patient's ability to reduce stress and improve the success of a diet regimen. The purpose of this community service is to improve knowledge of diabetes diet, diabetes self-management, and reduce stress levels in type 2 DM patients. The methods used are lectures, discussions, and educational videos. Before and after the community service, questionnaires were administered regarding diabetes diet knowledge, diabetes self-management, and stress levels in following the diet. The results of the community service showed an increase in knowledge of diabetes diet (the average increase in diabetes diet knowledge score was 23.4 + 5.2), diabetes self-management (the average increase in diabetes self-management score was 7.1 + 3.23), and a decrease in stress levels (the average decrease in score was 13.4 + 4.21) in type 2 DM patients. Indirectly, this community service activity will improve the quality of life and well-being of type 2 DM patients at Bhayangkara Mohamad Hasan Hospital, Palembang.

Abstract

Cancer is a medical condition characterized by uncontrolled abnormal cell growth and the risk of spreading to other organs. One common treatment method is chemotherapy. However, this procedure often causes side effects such as nausea, insomnia, physical pain, and weight loss. If not managed properly, these side effects can trigger anxiety that risks hindering the effectiveness of the patient's recovery process. Providing education is one way to help raise public understanding regarding chemotherapy. This Community Service Program aims to reduce anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at RSMH Palembang. The methods used are lectures, discussions, and educational videos. Before and after the community service, questionnaires were administered to measure anxiety using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Pre-test and post-test anxiety scores were analyzed using a Paired Samples T-Test to determine differences between before and after the intervention. The analysis results with a Paired Samples T-Test from 48 respondents obtained a P-value of 0.020, indicating a significant difference in the average anxiety scores of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy before and after the intervention. Providing education can increase knowledge and reduce anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy related to knowledge about chemotherapy starting from the definition, goals, and side effects, as well as handling the side effects of chemotherapy, as seen from the difference in anxiety scores that decreased before and after providing education.
