Abstract

The increase in life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the elderly population in Indonesia, where the proportion reached 11.82% by 2023. The elderly are a vulnerable group to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricaemia, which are the leading causes of morbidity and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to improve elderly knowledge regarding NCDs and identify health risk factors through health education and screening activities. A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 32 elderly participants at the Himo-Himo Social Institution for the Elderly in Ternate City. Health education was provided, followed by screening for blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid levels. Data were analysed descriptively, while differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention were assessed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.000; t = -4.256). Screening results revealed that 84.4% of participants had elevated systolic blood pressure, indicating a high risk of hypertension, while 75.0% showed abnormal diastolic blood pressure. In addition, 56.3% of participants had elevated blood glucose levels, suggesting a risk of diabetes mellitus, and 71.9% had elevated uric acid levels, indicating hyperuricemia. Health education and NCD screening effectively improved elderly knowledge and facilitated early detection of health problems. These activities are essential and should be implemented routinely as part of preventive and promotive health efforts to improve the quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are infectious diseases that affect both the upper and lower respiratory tracts, ranging from mild to severe conditions, and can potentially lead to death, especially in children under five. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of ARI among children under five in the working area of Puskesmas Perawatan Tiley in 2023. This was an analytical quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 266 mothers of children under five. A total of 73 respondents were selected using proportional random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The findings showed significant associations between ARI incidence and exposure to cigarette smoke (P=0.000≤0.1), air ventilation (P=0.018≤0.1), and housing density (P=0.000≤0.1). However, there was no significant association between immunization status (P=0.726≥0.1) and ARI incidence. It is recommended that the health center strengthen health promotion efforts related to ARI prevention and educate the community on healthy housing conditions, particularly concerning adequate ventilation, avoiding overcrowding, and the dangers of cigarette smoke exposure to children.
