Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common types of disease suffered by Indonesian people. Behaviors that can cause shortness of breath (asthma), especially in Kediri City, are increasing, for example exposure to cigarette smoke, dust, animal dander and so on, this is due to a lack of knowledge about the dangers of exposure to trigger substances and the influence of an unfavorable environment. As a result, a person is careless about the presence of substances that can trigger shortness of breath. Therefore, we, students of the Bachelor of Nursing Study Program at the Strada Indonesia Institute of Health Sciences, carry out community service activities to provide education about preventing and treating asthma. The aim of this research is to increase knowledge of asthma prevention and treatment in Ngronggo Village. Bronchial asthma is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the respiratory tract involving various types of cells. Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that involves many inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, mast cells, leukotrienes. This chronic inflammation is associated with airway hyperresponsiveness. Using the offline Extension Event Unit (SAP) method. After counseling, almost 82% of respondents were able to understand how to prevent and treat asthma.
