Abstract

Gout arthritis is an inflammatory joint condition that causes severe pain and impacts the patient's quality of life. Joint pain management involves more than just pharmacological therapy using medications; it also requires non-pharmacological approaches. The goal of this community service activity is to improve the knowledge and skills of gout arthritis sufferers in managing joint pain using various non-pharmacological therapy modalities. The results of the community service program indicate an increase in knowledge about non-pharmacological management of joint pain in gout arthritis patients. Non-pharmacological therapy education is an effective way to help people with gouty arthritis manage their joint pain. The significant increase in knowledge following the intervention demonstrates the importance of ongoing education and hands-on demonstrations. The next step is to increase the scope of education and support for the implementation of non-pharmacological therapies in various communities to ensure sustainability.

Hypertension is a disease whose prevalence continues to increase and occurs frequently in the elderly. The severity of hypertension is often linked to non-adherence to medication consumption. The objective of this community service activity is to improve the knowledge and skills of the elderly and their caregivers regarding the use of herbal therapy as a reliable and effective complementary treatment for controlling blood pressure. The activity was conducted through health education and practical demonstrations involving 29 participants. The main instrument that used in the health education was a leaflet. The results of the pre- and post-activity assessment showed an average increase in knowledge scores regarding herbal therapy for blood pressure control. In conclusion, this community service activity successfully enhanced the health literacy and practical skills of the elderly in utilizing evidence-based herbal therapy to lower blood pressure. Further effort is needed to achieve comprehensive and self-managed blood pressure control in elderly.
