Abstract

Myasthenia gravis is one of the most common autoimmune diseases at the neuromuscular junction. Although this disease is rare, the incidence of this disease is believed to have increased in the last seven decades. This community service activity aims to provide education to the public regarding myasthenia gravis. This community service activity was carried out in the form of counseling at the Neurology Polyclinic of UNRAM Hospital on Friday, January 20 2023. All participants were asked to take part in all counseling activities which consisted of pre-test activities, delivery of material on the topic of myasthenia gravis, and post-test. The enthusiasm of the participants in this activity was presented in the form of photo documentation. Statistical analysis using paired t-test was carried out to analyze the difference between the pre-test and post-test mean values ​​and the results were considered significant if a p value <0.05 was obtained. As many as 23 participants who attended the Neurology Polyclinic at UNRAM Hospital enthusiastically participated in the whole series of activities. The average participant post-test score was significantly higher than the pre-test means score (p = 0.025). This activity was able to increase the participants' knowledge about myasthenia gravis.

Abstract

Cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients is a significant clinical problem. It is a prevalent condition that has a major impact on quality of life. Hypertension, characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure, has been identified as a potential risk factor for cognitive impairment. Assessing cognitive function in hypertensive patients is essential for early detection and intervention. Community participation is crucial to raise awareness about the symptoms of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients. Therefore, education on cognitive impairment associated with hypertension is necessary to reduce its morbidity. This community service activity aims to provide education on the definition, signs, and symptoms, as well as early detection methods of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients to patients and their families at the neurology clinic University of Mataram Hospital. The activity was conducted using an interactive method with the aid of PowerPoint slides. The participants were given a pre-test, followed by a presentation on the disease, a discussion session, and finally, a post-test. There were 14 participants in total. The education session began with a pre-test consisting of five questions about cognitive impairment and hypertension. The participants' average score was 74.2. The material covered definitions, symptoms, early signs, and how to conduct early detection of cognitive impairment and hypertension. The education session concluded with a post-test, which revealed that 10 participants (71.4%) showed an increase in their knowledge scores, with a mean score of 88.5. Effective communication, information, and education are essential in improving knowledge about the early detection of cognitive impairment in hypertensive patients.
