Letting Go Method as Self-Help Alternative Solution to Increase Resilience Ability on People with Lupus

Abstract

Health is an important factor for human-beings to be able to develop their life potential well. Health in human-beings can occur if all self-aspects of both physical and psychological are able to adapt to various environmental situations and conditions. But in fact, many people are experiencing disease that affects their physical and psychological condition. One of the most deadly diseases among today is Lupus. However, many people are still odd with the disease so that physical and psychological handling become too late though the danger of Lupus is as deadly as cancer. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which there is an immune system disorder that causes inflammation in some organs and systems of the body. The mechanism of the immune system cannot distinguish between the body’s own tissues and foreign organisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses) because autoantibodies (antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues) are produced in large quantities and immune complexes (antigen-bound antibodies) in tissues (Syamsi Dhuha Foundation, in Syafi’i, 2012).
