Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide have hypertension. Hypertensive patients have numerous complications that can result in disability or death. To avoid hypertension, the community needs to be educated on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Cadres from Elderly Integrated Health Centers have the potential to actively promote and prevent hypertension, heart, and blood vessel disease in the community. It is necessary to involve the elderly Integrated Health Centre cadres in improving the level of public health. The Elderly Cadre Empowerment Program in Hypertension Management through Physical Activity seeks to improve the knowledge and skills of the elderly Integrated Health Centre administrators in promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing Hypertension, Heart, and Blood Vessel Disease. This community service activity is conducted through training that includes lectures, two-way discussions, and a 20-minute brisk walking session, followed by assignments in the field. Participants included 23 elderly Integrated Health Centre cadres and Rancamanyar residents. Activities completed three times in one month. This series of assistance includes providing assistance such as hypertension education and brisk walking, fast walking demonstrations, and participating in a 20-minute brisk walk with the community. The achievement of increasing participants' knowledge of hypertension and brisk walking can be said to be good based on the evaluation, and the community can do a 20-minute brisk walk according to the procedure.

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is rising in all age groups. Members of KPA Bandung City who have HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have psychological issues. PLWHA's main problems include feeling sad and angry with God, frequently crying, and believing they are dying (feeling depressed). The psychological consequences of HIV/AIDS can have an impact on the survival of HIV-positive adolescents. As a result, it is critical to recognize and treat these psychological symptoms, one of which is the use of emotion regulation strategies.People suffering from chronic illnesses, which are sometimes fatal, rely on their faith and religious practices to find support and acceptance for their suffering. As a result, more attention must be paid to the management of emotion regulation. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help adolescents with HIV/AIDS improve their emotional regulation strategies and religious coping. Through bibliotherapy, the Youth Empowerment Program with HIV/AIDS aimed to improve the emotional regulation. This community service activity is conducted by assisting PLWHA youth through the use of bibliotherapy. Activities for up to 5 PLWHA will be carried out at the KPA office. Community service is performed by asking PLWHA to read a book on the topic of PLWHA once. Furthermore, bibliotherapy is given to PLWHA for one session by asking them to read a book with the theme of becoming successful HIV AID patients. People living with HIV are able to capture the meaning of every event that occurs in the reading during the stages after reading. There was a change in the regulation of PLHA's emotions after being given bibliotherapy, namely being positive.
