Abstract

Insomnia is one of the most common health problems among older adults and can significantly reduce their quality of life if not properly managed. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be applied is self-acupressure. This community service program aimed to improve older adults’ knowledge and skills in performing self-acupressure and to enhance sleep quality among elderly participants at Posyandu Lansia Sejahtera Abadi IX, Gonilan, Kartasura, Sukoharjo. The program was conducted from March to April 2026 and consisted of health education sessions, self-acupressure training on Shenmen (HT7), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Anmian (EX-HN22), and Yintang (EX-HN3) acupoints, followed by four weeks of guided practice and monitoring. Program evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments of participants’ knowledge, an observational checklist for acupressure skills, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality. The results demonstrated an increase of more than 20% in participants’ knowledge scores, while over 80% of participants were able to perform self-acupressure correctly and independently. Furthermore, more than 70% of participants showed a reduction in PSQI scores, indicating improved sleep quality. In addition to improving sleep quality, the program enhanced participants’ self-care capacity and strengthened the role of community health volunteers in supporting elderly health promotion. Self-acupressure training proved to be a simple, safe, and feasible intervention with strong potential for integration into routine elderly health service programs to promote healthy aging and improve the quality of life of older adults.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease whose prevalence is rising among older adults and requires long-term management through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Limited health literacy, suboptimal adoption of healthy behaviors, and the limited capacity of community health volunteers (kader) in chronic-disease assistance were the main problems faced by Yasadharma Elderly Integrated Health Post (Posyandu Lansia), RW 18 Rinjani Mojosongo, Surakarta. This community service program aimed to improve older adults' knowledge, skills, and self-management of diabetes mellitus through health education and acupressure training as a complementary therapy. The program was conducted from 7 to 23 October 2025, involving 49 older adults through educational and participatory approaches consisting of interactive lectures, discussions, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and mentoring by cadres. Evaluation was carried out qualitatively and descriptively through observation, brief interviews, and participant reflection. The results indicated improved participant understanding of diabetes mellitus and healthy lifestyles, along with the ability to independently perform acupressure at ST36 (Zusanli) and SP6 (Sanyinjiao). Cadres also showed enhanced mentoring competence. Evaluation was descriptive, without clinical measurement or statistical testing. The program has the potential to support community-based diabetes management by strengthening the promotive and preventive role of elderly health posts.
