Abstract

This research aimed to recognize the effect of ruqyah therapy on COVID patients, Ruqyah becomes one of the alternatives that can decrease the patients’ anxiety when they suffer from COVID-19. Current research was carried out through a quasi-experimental design using non-equivalent control group design method. The population involved was 60 respondents chosen through purposive sampling. Furthermore, these samples were divided into two groups of 30 respondents for the experimental group and the other 30 respondents for the control group. Analysis that has been conducted in this research revealed that respondents who experienced light, moderate, and heavy anxiety (pre-test) became not anxious (post-test) with p-value obtained of 0.00, or P Value (0.00) > α (0.05).

In addition, ruqyah therapy can prevent COVID-19 complication as well as provides positive impact due to prolonged anxiety so that the patients recovered quickly.
