Abstract
Aims: This study was to determine the effect of dhikr on anxiety in
ACS patients at Dr. Chasbullah Abdulmadjid General Hospital,
Bekasi City.
Methods: The research method used pre- and post-quasy
experiments in the control group and the intervention group. This
study used the HARS questionnaire and family support for 76
respondents.
Result: Data analysis using multiple logistic regression tests The
results showed that the proportion in the control group with mildmoderate anxiety was 31.6% and severe anxiety was 18.4%; the
proportion in the intervention group with mild-moderate anxiety
was 46.1% and severe anxiety was 3.9%. Dhikr (p = 0.006) and
history of heart disease (p = 0.023) significantly influence anxiety
after being controlled by age (p = 0.244) (p = 0.001 omnimbus).
The dominant factor that influences anxiety is dhikr (OR 10.674).
Conclusions : Dhikr is an act of remembering Allah that can be
used to reduce anxiety in SKA patients. This can be done
independently by reading istigfar, tasbih, hauqalah, and takbir for
15 minutes in the morning and evening. Therefore, nursing services
using dhikr as an effort to reduce anxiety in ACS patients.

INTRODUCTION
Degenerative diseases, such as noncommunicable diseases, accounted for 71%
of deaths in the world in 2016 and will
increase in 2021 to 74% (1). The disease
with the highest ranking is heart disease; its
incidence in the United States (2019) occurs
mostly in the elderly; in Southeast Asia (2)
and in Indonesia (2019) (3). West Java is
ranked 10th, and one of them is the city of
Bekasi, namely Dr. Chasbullah Abdulmadjid
Hospital, Bekasi City. Heart disease is
ranked first, namely ACS. The incidence of
https://doi.org/10.33755/jkk
ACS in the ordinary cardiac ward was
61.2% and in the intensive care unit was
66.1% (4).
ACS consists of STEMI, NSTEMI, and UAP
(5), which are heart diseases that occur
because the heart muscle lacks oxygen
nutrition due to ruptured coronary artery
atheroma plaques (6). ACS occurs due to
biochemical and mechanical changes
resulting from strenuous physical activity
and emotional loads that can stimulate
increased norepineprine, epineprine, and
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) so that

the cardiovascular system is disrupted,
physiologically stimulating, and feelings of
tension, unpleasantness, or anxiety. These
things can aggravate ACS (7).
The need for good management, namely
with a holistic approach, in both aspects of
medical services, pharmacy, and nursing
care (8). Nursing care according to
standards includes biochemical, physical,
and psychological factors. One part of
nursing actions is complementary actions
such as dhikr (9). Dhikr means
remembering and saying tayyibah words to
Allah orally (10). Dhikr is a relaxation
technique that stimulates endorphins,
dopamine, and oxytocin (11), which work to
provide a feeling of calm and reduce
anxiety, lowering heart rate, lowering blood
pressure, smoothing blood vessels, and
increasing oxygen in the body (12).
According to Somana, dhikr and murottal
Al-Quran can reduce anxiety, with moderate
anxiety at 76.9% and mild anxiety at 69.2%.
According to Sulistyawati (13), there was a
statistically significant difference in the
anxiety level of patients in the intervention
group and the control group (p = 0.001),
indicating the effect of dhikr in reducing
anxiety. Dhikr makes people feel calm and
optimistic, increases immunity, accepts the
conditions that happen to them, and
believes that what happens is because of
Allah's will (14). The purpose of this study
was to determine the effect of dhikr on
anxiety in ACS patients.
METHODS
This research design uses a quasiexperiment with pre- and post-intervention
using two groups, namely the control group
https://doi.org/10.33755/jkk

Volume 10 Issue 1 January 2024
and the intervention group. The population
in this study were ACS patients in the
cardiac care room. Sample calculations used
the Lameshow formula with a total sample
of 76 respondents. The sampling technique
uses the purposive sampling technique. The
inclusion criteria for this study were SKA
sufferers who experienced anxiety and
were Muslims. The exclusion criteria are
ACS sufferers who are in an emergency
condition and are currently taking mental
medication. The instrument used is the
HARS anxiety instrument in Indonesian,
which has been translated and tested for
reliability and validity by Ramdan (2019)
(15). The HARS instrument contains 14
statements with a score of 0-4. Researchers
divided into two score categories, namely a
score of <25 for mild-moderate anxiety and
≥25 for severe anxiety, according to
Rusanty (2016) (16). The research process
will take place in April–May 2023 after
passing the campus ethical review number
0259/F.9-UMJ/III/2023 on March 9, 2023,
and the site ethical review number
010/KEPK/RSCAM/III/2023 on March 27,
2023, and receiving research permission on
March 31, 2023. Researchers selected
respondents in cardiac care rooms, both
regular wards and intensive care rooms,
and specialized in ACS. Instruments are
distributed directly to respondents, who fill
them in themselves without intervention
from anyone. The intervention group was
given dhikr in the form of leaflets with the
reading of istighfar, tasbih, hauqalah, and
takbir. Univariate data analysis uses the
proportion test, bivariate uses the q square
test, and multivariate uses the multiple
logistic regression test.
