Abstract

. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable lung disease characterized by persistent and often progressive respiratory symptoms and airflow resistance. COPD is still the 3rd leading cause of death in the world. Risk factors such as smoking and continuous exposure to air pollution are the causes of COPD. In diagnosing COPD, in addition to a history of respiratory symptoms and physical examination, a spirometry examination is needed to assess lung function capacity. However, this examination is not always available in health care facilities. Peak flow metric, which is used to assess lung capacity at maximal expiration, can be a cheap and easy-to-implement alternative. Early detection of COPD with peak flow metric will be beneficial for the community to know their lung function capacity earlier, so that people pay more attention to their lung health. Therefore, early detection of airway obstruction disorders in the community is needed through this community service activity. About 200 participants were given counseling about COPD and COPD detection was carried out using a peak flow metric tool. Of the 200 participants, 38% were detected to have airway obstruction with peak flow metric results <80%. This will be the basis for the community to check themselves to the health facility for spirometry examination, and increase public awareness to maintain lung health.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a long-recognized airway infection. However, the elimination of TB cases is still a major problem worldwide, especially Indonesia. According to the world tuberculosis report in 2023, Indonesia ranks 2nd in the world with an estimated 1,060,000 cases. The number of pulmonary tuberculosis cases found and reported in Indonesia still has not reached the national target. Case finding efforts are a joint effort of the government, health workers and the community. Bad stigma about pulmonary TB is still a challenge in the community. Therefore, community empowerment is needed in TB case finding efforts through independent TB detection that can be easily done by the community, so that they are able to recognize the symptoms of pulmonary TB for themselves and people in their neighborhood. Through community service activities by providing information through counseling materials about pulmonary TB detection efforts in the community. Through questionnaires before and after counseling, an increase in understanding of the discovery of pulmonary tuberculosis cases independently was obtained, with a mean score before 40 points and a mean score after counseling of 100 points. This is expected to increase the number of pulmonary TB case finding in Palembang city.

Abstract

Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is a disease that is easily transmitted through the air and can be inhaled into the airway. Individuals with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to severe or recurrent URTI. Increased incidence and severity of URTI in patients can significantly affect their productivity, while in children, it can hinder their growth and development. Cough ethics are generally well practiced by health workers in professional settings. However, among the public, cough etiquette is often ignored, so airborne diseases such as URTI can easily spread. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct counseling on proper cough etiquette practices to prevent the spread of URTIs, especially in Sukamaju subdistrict, Palembang. In this counseling activity, which was attended by around 200 participants, it was revealed that previously, 90% of them did not have an understanding of proper cough etiquette. After the counseling and simulation of cough etiquette, 100% of the participants have understood and applied cough etiquette correctly. Through this community service, it is hoped that the community will continue to apply proper cough etiquette, so as to form a sustainable positive habit in preventing disease transmission, as well as improving the health and welfare of the local community.
