Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause bone damage and cause disability. The most common and dominant symptom is pain, especially swelling in the morning. There is a way to treat pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients with massage. Massage has the effect of reducing anxiety and muscle tension. This muscle massage stimulation is enriched to stimulate delta-A nerve fibers and C fibers and releases substance P in the afferent nerves, where there are mechanoreceptors (tactile apparatus: skin) as a defense mechanism, and in the central cortex, the descending nerves release endogenous. opiates, namely endorphins produced by the pituitary as a pain reliever. So, it can block or reduce pain impulses. This study aims to determine the effect of massage on reducing pain intensity in rheumatoid arthritis patients. This research uses a literature review design using 2 databases, namely PubMed and Scopus. The results showed that in journal research, giving massage for ± 15 minutes every day resulted in reduced pain and anxiety. In the journal, rheumatoid arthritis sufferers had a decrease in the quality of pain using back massage therapy with p=0.05. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of massage therapy is effective for patients with rheumatoid arthritis who experience pain.

Abstract

Coronavirus is a cause of infectious diseases. The European Food Safety Association (EFSA), on March 9, 2020, explained that there is no evidence yet to show that food is part of the coronavirus transmission route (of course, when we consume food in the right and clean way standard). Basic Health Research conducted by the Ministry of Health in 2018 shows that few Indonesian citizens are malnourished or suffer from diabetes. This group risks experiencing fatal health problems when attacked by the coronavirus. The aim of this health promotion is that the post-vaccination participants for COVID-19 in the D3 Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Nursing, University of Jember, Lumajang Campus, have a better understanding of consuming healthy food after the COVID-19 vaccination. The service method uses counseling using lectures, question and answer, and demonstrations with X banner and leaflet media for participants after the COVID-19 vaccination, which was carried out on March 17, 2022, taking place at the D3 Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Jember, Lumajang Campus. The results of this community service activity are likely successful. This can be observed in the level of attendance and the activeness of the participants. This activity took place in an orderly and good manner without experiencing significant obstacles. The follow-up that needs to be done is to continue to provide information on healthy food after the COVID-19 vaccination, so that confusing and untrue news can be suppressed so that the people of Indonesia are free of COVID-19, especially the people of Lumajang.
