Abstract Lifestyle is characterized by behaviour patterns that can impact individual health, especially unhealthy ones such as smoking, stress, and unhealthy eating patterns that can lead to various digestive disorders. This study aimed to analyze prevention efforts against the recurrence of post-gastritis sufferers in the Kuala sub-district, Nagan Raya Regency. This qualitative research method analyzes and describes phenomena or objects of research through social activities, attitudes, and perceptions of people individually or in groups. The informants in this study were eight people, with details of 1 Head of the Public Health Center, 1 Head of Gastritis, 1 Doctor of the Public Health Center, and five patients with post- gastritis in Kuala sub-district Nagan Raya Regency in October 2022. Results of this study indicate that the diet of post- gastritis sufferers is irregular, and they also consume spicy food unnaturally; post-gastritis sufferers are also unable to manage the stress they experience, so they have the habit of drinking coffee with inappropriate doses, and gastritis is supported by the behaviour of post-gastritis sufferers who have a smoking habit that is difficult to change. This study concludes that the lifestyle of post-gastritis sufferers who are not good has a significant influence on the recurrence of gastritis. Keywords: Patients; Gastritis; Risk Factors; Non-Pharmacological Therapy Introduction Lifestyle is characterized by behavior patterns that will impact individual health, especially unhealthy lifestyles, including smoking, stress, and diet; this unhealthy lifestyle can lead to various digestive system disorders. One of the digestive system disorders that often occurs is gastritis, more popularly called magh (Duwi Wahyu, Supono, & Nurul Hidayah, 2015). Gastritis or peptic ulcer is inflammation (irritation) that occurs in the gastric mucosa and is characterized by discomfort in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or headaches (Sumangkut & Kerundeng, 2014). Gastritis is one of the main factors that has become a public health problem. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of gastritis worldwide is 2,100,000 (WHO, 2017-2019). According to the World Health Organization, gastritis in Indonesia in 2019 was 274,890 cases. According to WHO 2012 in Ayu et al. 2017, the gastritis rate in Indonesia is relatively high, with a prevalence of 274,396 cases out of 238,452,952 inhabitants or 40.8%; gastritis is also one of the ten most common diseases in hospitalized patients in Indonesia, With a total of 30,154 cases (4.9%) (WHO 2012 in Ayu et al. 2017). In Aceh Province in 2019, there were 213 gastritis sufferers obtained data from the Ujong Fatihah Public Health Center, Kuala Subdistrict, Nagan Raya Regency; the number of gastritis sufferers from year to year always experiences an insignificant number of gastritis sufferers in 2020 data recap from April to October with the number of cases 767 cases (Puskesmas Nagan Raya). People, in general, do not know gastritis; people know gastritis as ulcer disease, which is a disease that they think is not a big problem; for example, if they feel abdominal pain, they will immediately overcome it by eating rice, then the pain will disappear (Sumaryati, 2015). This has become a health problem in the emergency department channel. On physical examination, it was found that there was tenderness in the epigastric area (part of the stomach area), leading to the diagnosis of gastritis, where to ensure a physical examination and other supports such as endoscopy were needed (Selviana BY, 2015). Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa that is acute, chronic, diffuse, or local. This inflammation includes anorexia, a feeling of fullness or discomfort in the epigastrium, nausea, and vomiting. This inflammation of the gastric mucosa will develop when the mucosal protective mechanism is filled with bacteria or other irritants (Ida, 2017). The stomach is
