Abstract
Pasien dengan penyakit kronis sering menghadapi hambatan dalam menjaga pola makan sehat dan mengelola stres, yang berdampak pada kualitas hidup. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang nutrisi, keterampilan manajemen stres, serta memperkuat resiliensi pasien dengan penyakit kronis. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan nutrisi sehat dengan leaflet dan pelatihan mindfulness melalui relaksasi pernapasan dan afirmasi positif, serta diskusi kelompok terarah (FGD). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan kepuasan peserta terhadap materi, disertai dampak positif terhadap regulasi fisiologis tubuh. Data kualitatif dari FGD memperlihatkan hambatan nutrisi, kesadaran stres, pengalaman langsung setelah latihan, serta dukungan sosial yang memperkuat motivasi peserta. Hasil tersebut menunjukan bahwa kombinasi edukasi, latihan pernafasan, afirmasi positif, dan dukungan sosial mampu meningkatkan resiliensi pasien dengan penyakit kronis. Kegiatan ini memberikan arah pengembangan ke depan berupa intervensi berulang dan berkelanjutan. Selain itu, penelitian longitudinal juga diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi dampak jangka panjang terhadap indikator klinis sederhana serta kualitas hidup pasien dengan penyakit kronis. Patients with chronic diseases often face barriers in maintaining healthy dietary patterns and managing stress, which negatively affect their quality of life. This community service program aimed to improve nutritional literacy, stress management skills, and strengthen resilience among patients with chronic diseases. The methods included nutrition education using leaflets, mindfulness training through breathing relaxation and positive affirmations, and focus group discussions (FGD). The results demonstrated increased knowledge and participant satisfaction with the materials, accompanied by positive effects on physiological regulation. Qualitative data from FGDs revealed nutritional barriers, stress awareness, direct experiences after practice, and social support that enhanced participants’ motivation. These findings highlight that a combination of education, breathing exercises, positive affirmations, and social support can strengthen resilience in patients with chronic diseases. This program provides direction for future development through repeated and continuous interventions. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the long-term impact on simple clinical indicators as well as the overall quality of life of patients with chronic diseases.
