Medication adherence among the elderly is an important factor in achieving successful therapy, particularly during the month of Ramadan when changes occur in meal patterns and medication schedules. Elderly patients with chronic diseases often experience difficulties in adjusting their medication timing, which may lead to poor adherence. This study aimed to implement a smart pill boxwith educational labels to improve knowledge and medication adherence among elderly individuals during fasting. The study involved 40 elderly respondents in a social care institution. The intervention consisted of training on the use of the smart pill box, educational labeling, and evaluation through observation, interviews, and checklist forms. The results showed that most respondents took medication twice daily (42.5%) and adjusted their medication schedules to sahur and iftar (45%). Before the intervention, 57.5% of respondents had not received information about medication use during fasting. The implementation of the smart pill boxwith educational labels improved the elderly’s understanding of medication use and supported better medication adherence during Ramadan.

Elderly people are individuals aged 60 and over who have equal rights in community life. The emotional state of the elderly is a psychological state that encompasses the ability to think, feel, and act, as manifested through behavior. To stabilize the emotions of the elderly, cadres and their families must have an adequate level of emotional intelligence. One non-pharmacological approach currently being studied is the Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT), an emotional healing method that combines spiritual elements, positive affirmations, and stimulation of the body's meridian points. SEFT is believed to reduce psychological stress that contributes to high blood pressure. This therapy is easy to learn, can be performed independently, and requires no special equipment, making it highly suitable for use in elderly communities with limited access to advanced medical services. At this event, counselors provided support in delivering material on Motivation and Prevention of Psychological Disorders in the Elderly using the SEFT. The purpose of this material is to provide motivation, reduce, and prevent psychological impacts. Participants benefited from the material, knowledge, and experience sharing, as well as solutions, resulting in a better understanding of motivation, reduction, and prevention of psychological impacts. This community service program was conducted with approximately 33 participants in the "Teratai" elderly group. It is hoped that this community service program will be beneficial and provide considerations for solutions and decisions, adding information and insight related to motivation, reduction, and prevention of psychological impacts.

Treatment of chronic diseases is serious because it can affect the patient's quality of life and consume quite a large amount of treatment funding. However, pharmacological treatment cannot be effective if chronic disease patients are unable to manage stress. For this reason, therapeutic modalities are needed that are able to treat patients as a whole, both bio-psycho-social and spiritual, one of which is the spiritual emotional freedom technique (SEFT). Purpose: This community service activity aims to increase the resilience of chronic disease patients through SEFT training. Method: Activities were provided for posyandu cadres in Kayuputih Village, Sukasada I Community Health Center Working Area. The training method was carried out by giving lectures, demonstrations, guided re-demonstrations, providing media, and evaluation. Results: SEFT is a non-pharmacological therapy that is acceptable to participants. SEFT can be done independently with the guidance of media leaflets and video demonstrations. SEFT is considered a unique way of praying and is modified by healing efforts by tapping specific points on the body.

Language is the primary tool humans use to convey thoughts and messages, both verbally and in writing. According to experts, language is a system of sound symbols used for communication and interaction, consisting of phonology, lexicon, and grammar. Phonology studies the sounds of language and is a crucial aspect of linguistics, divided into phonetics and phonemics. Language plays an important role in daily life, not only as a communication tool but also as a reflection of individual or group identity. Language preserves cultural heritage and strengthens social relationships within a community. Proper use of language facilitates communication and influences the understanding of the interlocutor. The development of globalization makes language a means of cross-cultural connection, aiding in collaboration and participation between countries. However, every language faces challenges in pronunciation, word formation, writing, and sentence usage. Phonological disorders, such as in individuals with cleft lip and stuttering, affect speaking ability and language comprehension. A cleft lip causes difficulties in producing certain consonants, while stuttering causes disruptions in speech flow. Phonological error analysis helps to understand the patterns of sound production errors and design interventions to improve speaking abilities. This research is essential for identifying phonological disorders and developing effective therapy methods. The study titled "Phonological Disorders in Mustofa in the Wkwk Project Podcast by Genflik" aims to gain a deeper understanding of phonological disorders in individuals with cleft lip and stuttering, and to find solutions to improve their communication abilities.
