Abstract

Background: Population ageing has increased the prevalence of cognitive decline among older adults. Cognitive impairment affects memory, thinking, communication, decision-making, and independence in daily activities. Limited knowledge regarding brain health highlights the need for community-based health education. Elderly schools provide an appropriate setting to promote healthy ageing through continuous learning and empowerment. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve older adults' knowledge and awareness regarding cognitive health among participants of the Indonesia Ramah Lansia Elderly School, West Java. Methods: The program applied a participatory health promotion approach through interactive lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, cognitive stimulation demonstrations, and educational games. Educational materials included cognitive function, risk factors for cognitive decline, early signs of cognitive impairment, and strategies to maintain brain health through physical activity, mental stimulation, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and social engagement. Results: Participants actively engaged in all educational activities and demonstrated improved understanding of cognitive health. They were able to identify practical activities to maintain brain function and expressed greater awareness of adopting healthy lifestyles to support cognitive wellbeing. Conclusion: Cognitive health education is an effective health promotion strategy to improve older adults' knowledge and awareness regarding cognitive function. Sustainable educational programs through elderly schools are recommended to support healthy ageing and maintain independence among older adults

Abstract

Background: Aging is associated with physiological changes that affect nutritional status and skin health, resulting in reduced quality of life among older adults. Aging skin becomes thinner, drier, and more susceptible to irritation and infection due to decreased barrier function. Inadequate nutritional intake further accelerates skin aging and increases the risk of health problems. Health education is an effective health promotion strategy to improve older adults' knowledge regarding nutrition and skin care. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve older adults' knowledge regarding nutrition and skin health through participatory health education. Methods: The program was conducted at Indonesia Ramah Lansia (IRL), Bandung City, using interactive lectures, group discussions, PowerPoint presentations, printed leaflets, and pre-test–post-test evaluation. A total of 48 older adults participated, while knowledge improvement was analyzed among 22 participants who completed both assessments. Participant satisfaction with the educational program was also evaluated. Results: The mean knowledge score significantly increased from 3.59 before the intervention to 4.91 after the education session (p=0.001). All participants reported gaining new knowledge (100%). Furthermore, 95.5% considered the topic highly relevant, 90.9% agreed that the materials matched their needs, and 81.8% stated that the educational materials were easy to understand
