Abstract

The prevalence of respiratory infections in South Kalimantan Province has increased to 189,111 cases throughout 2023. Preliminary Research indicates that 2 out of 3 Posyandu participants interviewed reported experiencing coughs and colds, leading to respiratory problems. The increase in ARI cases underscores the crucial role of the community in both promoting and preventing them. The goal of this activity is to empower the community by increasing their knowledge and skills in applying box breathing techniques to reduce mild respiratory symptoms. The strategy to achieve health involves improving the quality of health services, one of which is promoting box breathing to reduce complaints among people with respiratory disorders. This will be carried out through education to increase understanding. The purpose of promoting and counseling is to reduce complaints among people with respiratory disorders. The results showed an increase in knowledge after the promotion of box breathing was carried out among the residents of Tunggul Irang Ilir Village(Pre: less than satisfactory 68,2%; Post: good 81,2%).
