Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacts students’ mental health. Most of them may experience depression. Due to restrictions and social distancing during the pandemic, counseling may not be applicable in detecting the problems. Therefore, an Islamic spiritual mindfulness-based application called DAHAGA is created in order to detect and reduce depression. It is believed that this innovative app could reduce mental health problems among students.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of DAHAGA on reducing depression among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a comparison group pretest/posttest design conducted from May to June 2020. Seventy students were selected using convenience sampling, of which 35 were assigned in an experimental group and a comparison group. The validated Indonesian Version-Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was used for data collection. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used for data analysis.Results: There was a significant effect of DAHAGA on depression (p < 0.001). The level of depression after intervention (mean 11.49, SD 4.49) was lower than it before the intervention (mean 17.20, SD 4.94). Additionally, there was a significant difference in depression level between the experimental and comparison groups after the intervention with a p-value of < 0.001. Conclusion: The DAHAGA is proven effective in reducing depression. Therefore, this study offers a new and innovative app that fits with the COVID-19 pandemic to help Muslim students maintain their health status.

Hipertensi (silent killer) merupakan suatu keadaan dimana adanya peningkatan tekanan darah baik systole maupun diastole yang abnormal. Kondisi ini yang menimbulkan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi. Kecemasan yang dialami pasien hipertensi justru akan memperburuk kondisi hipertensinya. Penatalaksanaan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi terdiri dari terapi farmakologi dan non farmakologi. Salah satu terapi non farmakologi yang bisa digunakan adalah wet cupping (bekam). Bekam akan menstimulus sekresi hormon ?-endorphin yang akan memberikan efek anti nyeri dan juga efek anxiolityc (anti cemas). Dengan demikian, peneliti melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut, terkait wet cupping (bekam) dalam penurunan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian pre-experiment dengan model rancangan pre-post test, dengan jumlah responden 25 orang. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini dengan menggunakan kuesioner Zung-Self Anxiety Rating Scale (ZSAS) dengan 20 pertanyaan. Analisis penelitian menggunakan uji normalitas dengan menggunakan Shapiro-Wilk dan analisis uji Paired T-test. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dengan nilai p-value 0.000. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa wet cupping (bekam) efektif untuk menurunkan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi di Posbindu PTM Wijaya Kusuma Taskombang Palbapang Kecamatan Bantul Kabupaten Bantul Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Diharapkan peneliti selanjutnya dapat melakukan penelitian dengan menambah variabel atau pada penyakit yang berbeda.   Hypertension (silent killer) is a condition where there is an increase in blood pressure both systole and diastole which is abnormal. This condition causes problems in hypertensive patients. Hypertension will worsen the condition of hypertension. Management is completed in hypertensive patients consisting of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used is wet cupping. Wet Cupping will stimulate the secretion of the hormone ?-endorphin which will provide an anti-pain effect and also anxiolityc (anti-anxiety) effect. Thus, researchers conducted further research, related to wet cupping. This study used a pre-experimental research design with a pre-post test design model, with 25 respondents. The instrument in this study used the Zung-Self Anxiety Rating Scale (ZSAS) questionnaire with 20 questions. Analysis of the study used a normality test using Shapiro-Wilk and paired T-test analysis. The analysis showed a significant difference with a p-value of 0,000. Wet cupping (cupping) is effective for reducing risk in hypertensive patients in Posbindu PTM Wijaya Kusuma Taskombang Palbapang, Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta. It is hoped that further researchers can conduct research by adding variables or in different diseases.
