Abstract
Anxiety is a crucial problem experienced by the elderly. If anxiety in the elderly lasts continuously, fatigue and even death can occur. The best solution in suppressing anxiety is by way of tazkiyatun nafs. Because by way of tazkiyatun nafs, humans will maintain the purity of their souls from dirty traits. A clean soul will produce good behavior, while a dirty soul will produce a low personality. This indicates the importance of tazkiyatun nafs to give birth to good behavior for the elderly to free them from anxiety. To overcome anxiety, counseling treatment is needed. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of individual counseling on the tazkiyatun nafs approach in reducing the anxiety of the elderly. This research uses an experimental method with a model single subject (Single Subject Research) A-B design with three issues. The data analysis technique uses visual analysis under conditions and between conditions. The results of this study indicate that the intervention in the form of individual counseling with the tazkiyatun nafs approach can reduce the anxiety of the elderly.
