Hasil survey menunjukkan tingginya prevalensi Covid 19 yang diderita oleh peugas maupun pada lansia di LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang. Selain itu, ditemukan juga permasalahan bahwa Caregiver masih banyak yang belum memahami mengenai pengelolaan dan penatalaksanaan kesehatan lansia di masa pandemi covid 19 sehingga kondisi ini menyebabkan ketakutan dan kecemasan. Oleh karena itu, kami bermaksud untuk mengadakan pelatihan kepada Caregiver agar dapat mengurangi kecemasan saat merawat lansia yang terpapar Covid 19 sehingga kesehatan lansia dapat termonitor seoptimal mungkin dan bisa mencegah terpaparnya petugas dan lansia dengan penyakit covid 19. Pada tahap persiapan kegiatan yang dilaksanakan untuk mendapatkan Ijin dari pimpinan LKS-LU Panti Pangesti Lawang. Tahap pelaksanaan pelatihan ini dilaksanakan selama 3x pertemuan, 1 kali pertemuan dilakukan secara daring dengan materi kecemasan dan terapi Thought Stopping, pertemuan ke 2 dengan materi terapi Thought Stopping kemudian dilanjutkan praktik, dan pertemuan ketiga dengan kegiatan evaluasi praktik terapi Thought Stopping.

Perubahan nilai antara pre dan post ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi perubahan tingkat kecemasan.
