Abstract

Abstrak: Polusi, debu, rokok, virus, dan bakteri adalah beberapa bahaya lingkungan yang dapat mengganggu kesehatan hidung. Sejak pandemi, cuci hidung menjadi lebih diperhatikan. Cuci hidung adalah prosedur mudah yang dapat dilakukan sehari-hari. Meskipun begitu, di Indonesia, kegiatan cuci hidung masih cenderung awam dan jarang dilakukan. Masyarakat masih banyak yang belum memahami praktik cuci hidung, sehingga perlu dilakukan sosialisasi secara langsung. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberdayakan masyarakat Padukuhan Gejayan dengan tindakan cuci hidung yang dapat mengatasi berbagai masalah hidung seperti alergi, sinusitis, rhinitis dan ISPA. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 40 anggota PKK Padukuhan Gejayan dan diselenggarakan dengan metode penyuluhan berupa pemaparan materi dan praktik cuci hidung. Antusiasme masyarakat dan hasil akhir dari pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan adanya peningkatan dari 8.05 menjadi 9.125.

Abstract: Environmental dangers that might harm nasal health are pollution, dust, cigarettes, viruses, and germs. Since the pandemic, nasal irrigation has been given more attention. Nasal irrigation is a simple and easy technique that can be used in daily life. However, in Indonesia, nasal irrigation is rarely practiced. Many people still do not understand the practice of nasal irrigation, so it is necessary to do direct dissemination. The purpose of this program is to empower the community of Padukuhan Gejayan with nasal wash actions that can solve various nasal problems such as allergies, sinusitis, rhinitis and upper respiratory tract infections. This program was attended by 40 members of the PKK Padukuhan Gejayan. It was held with a counseling method through presentation and nasal irrigation practice. This program received a good response from the community, as evidenced by the community's enthusiasm and the final results of the pre-test and post-test, which showed an increase from 8.05 to 9.125.
