Abstract

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience shortness of breath, fatigue, and a decline in quality of life due to fluid imbalance, anemia, and reduced lung capacity. These conditions highlight the need for simple, safe, and effective non-pharmacological interventions. This community service program, titled “Napas Lega Bersama” (“Breathing Relief Together”), aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of CKD patients in applying pursed-lip breathing (PLB) techniques as a strategy to enhance breathing patterns and overall well-being. The activity was conducted at a partner hospital’s hemodialysis unit through educational sessions, live demonstrations, and guided PLB practice over a two-week period. Pre- and post-program assessments were performed using standardized questionnaires to measure participants’ knowledge and perceived quality of life. The results showed an 85% increase in participants’ understanding of PLB and a 70% improvement in perceived comfort and daily activity performance after the intervention. Participants also reported reduced shortness of breath and greater relaxation during dialysis sessions. This program demonstrates that pursed-lip breathing can serve as a simple and effective complementary therapy to improve the quality of life of CKD patients. It is recommended that this initiative be continued through routine mentoring and interdisciplinary collaboration to promote therapeutic breathing exercises across healthcare settings.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are diseases that cannot be transmitted from one person to another and usually develop over a long period of time. One of the factors causing the development of non-communicable diseases is a lack of knowledge and awareness of the dangers of NCDs, which leads to people not undergoing health checks. This is also caused by people's reluctance to get checked until they feel sick. One way to prevent non-communicable diseases is to undergo regular health checks. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent NCD risk factors through health checks and health education. This activity was then carried out using three methods, namely direct practice to check the health of participants, providing health education, and finally administering herbal medicine. Overall, the results of the health examinations varied from normal, mild, moderate, to severe. It is hoped that with activities such as this, the community will become more aware of the importance of regular health tests for early detection of NCDs.
