Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which spreads through the air and is one of the biggest causes of death in the world. Changes in post-TB conditions, such as weight loss and difficulty in carrying out activities, cause patients to be afraid of their condition. Excessive fear is not balanced with positive thoughts and activities, resulting in psychological stress. The aim of this community service is to apply dhikr therapy to overcome the anxiety of patients suspected of tuberculosis. The implementation of this program is in the form of providing material on the concept of anxiety and dhikr therapy in overcoming anxiety through lectures, videos, questions and answers, giving booklets, and practicing dhikr therapy. This training showed success even though it was not optimal, this was proven by the reduction in anxiety levels of tuberculosis sufferers after being given dhikr therapy. Apart from that, from the observation, tuberculosis sufferers are no longer anxious and more cheerful.

Abstract

Decreased physical activity in the elderly can lead to an increase in uric acid levels. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, therefore, the treatment provided can only minimize the impact of the disease and optimize health. Low impact aerobic exercise is a type of physical activity suitable for the elderly. This exercise has a low intensity and does not put pressure on the joints, making it safe for the elderly. The purpose of this community service is to reduce uric acid levels with low impact aerobic exercise as a non-pharmacological therapy in the community. This activity was carried out in the form of uric acid checks, health education about uric acid, and low impact aerobic exercise practice. Furthermore, the elderly were asked to undergo therapy at home for 4 weeks with 2 exercise sessions per week with a duration of 45 minutes each session, using a booklet guide. This activity showed success as evidenced by a decrease in uric acid levels. In addition, the results of interviews with the elderly also revealed that they rarely experienced joint pain and looked more cheerful.
