Abstrak

Happy hypoxia is an asymptomatic condition where oxygen saturation decreases
<90% in Covid-19 patients. However, many people do not know the signs and
symptoms of happy hypoxia. Preventive measures are needed to prevent the
worst possible occurrence of happy hypoxia, one of which is health education.
The purpose of this community service activity is to make the community aware
of the occurrence of happy hypoxia. The activity was carried out for one day for
18 families of patients in the emergency room at Panti Waluya Sawahan Hospital,
Malang. The patient's family is given a pre-test to measure the understanding of
happy hypoxia, then given health education, then given a post-test sheet. The
results obtained in the form of increasing knowledge from the less to good
category. This health education activity is included in preventive efforts so that
the public can recognize the occurrence of happy hypoxia to minimize the
mortality rate of Covid-19 patients.
