Abstract


This study aims to explore the role of healthy lifestyle and spiritual approach in preventing human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection, a respiratory virus that attacks at-risk groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with weak immune systems. Using a literature study method and a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines medical literature and spiritual principles from 1 Corinthians 6:19–20. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of a healthy lifestyle, including personal hygiene, balanced nutrition, adequate rest, and physical activity, plays an important role in strengthening the immune system and reducing the risk of HMPV infection. The integration of medical and spiritual approaches has been proven to provide a more holistic prevention strategy, not only reducing the risk of infection but also increasing collective awareness in society. This study recommends that health education be integrated with religious values to form a comprehensive and sustainable healthy lifestyle culture.

 

Abstrak:

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali peran pola hidup sehat dan pendekatan spiritual dalam pencegahan infeksi Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), sebuah virus pernapasan yang menyerang kelompok yang beresiko seperti anak-anak, orang lanjut usia, dan individu dengan sistem imun yang lemah. Menggunakan metode studi pustaka dan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini menelaah literatur medis dan prinsip-prinsip spiritual dari 1 Korintus 6:19–20. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pola hidup sehat meliputi kebersihan pribadi, gizi seimbang, istirahat cukup, dan aktivitas fisik berperan penting dalam memperkuat sistem imun dan menurunkan risiko infeksi HMPV. Integrasi antara pendekatan medis dan spiritual teruji memberikan strategi pencegahan yang lebih holistik, tidak hanya mengurangi risiko infeksi tetapi juga meningkatkan kesadaran kolektif dalam masyarakat. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar edukasi kesehatan diintegrasikan dengan nilai-nilai keagamaan untuk membentuk budaya hidup sehat yang komprehensif dan berkelanjutan.
