Abstract

Depression in the elderly is a public health issue that is sometimes influenced by low social interaction, but community-based studies are still limited. This study aims to analyze how social engagement relates to depression severity among elderly. This study used cross sectional approach and recruited 56 elderly participants aged 60–72 years. Depression level measured by the 30 item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Social engagement was assessed with the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and linear regression analysis. Participants averaged score are 13.70 on depression (SD=5.77) and 17.57 on social engagement (SD=2.79). We found a negative correlation: less social contact linked to higher depression level (r = –0.288, p = 0.031). Regression confirmed this pattern which social engagement predicted depression levels (B = –0.398, p = 0.002). Social engagement is important to reduce depressive sign and symptoms among the elderly. Community-based programs is needed to strengthen social support to improve mental health in elderly.

Abstract

Dementia is a syndrome characterized by a decline in intellectual ability that is severe enough to interfere with an elderly person's daily activities. It is still unknown whether specific variables are most frequently linked to dementia in nursing homes, despite the fact that a number of factors are known to cause dementia symptoms. The purpose of this research was to identify the risk factors for dementia in senior citizens residing in assisted living facilities. This study has a cross-sectional design. Eighty-six senior citizens, ages 60 to 90, who resided in two nursing facilities in Bandung and Garut, Indonesia, made up the research sample. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), which has a cut-off score of 24, is used to screen for dementia. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and logistic regression to examine the link between risk factors and dementia. Education (p = 0.001), BADL (p = 0.014), IADL (p = 0.023), phonemic fluency (p0.001), semantic fluency (p = 0.001), QoL-physical (p = 0.007), QoL-psychological (p = 0.002), QoL-environment (p = 0.001), diabetes (p = 0.013), and depression (p = 0.001) were all significantly correlated with dementia, according to the results. Logistic regression tests showed that education (p = 0.005), phonemic fluency (p = 0.001), and QoL-psychological (p = 0.043) are known to provide the most significant contribution to the occurrence of dementia in senior individuals in nursing homes. It is advised that healthcare professionals offer preventative and promotional actions for senior dementia prediction.

Abstract

Introduction: The development of smart detection software may help reduce the number of decubitus ulcer infections by enabling early identification and management. Ensuring the usability and effectiveness of such technology is essential before widespread adoption. Objective: This study aimed to explore prospective users’ perceptions of the mobile app for detecting diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) infection, focusing on its usefulness, ease of use, and overall user satisfaction. Methods: The usability of the DFU app was assessed by experienced users. The evaluation included perceived usefulness, ease of use, and overall satisfaction. Standardized tools such as the System Usability Scale (SUS) and a specific app rating scale were used to collect user feedback. Results: The DFU app received usability ratings ranging from 0.50 to 0.88. The lowest rating was for performance quality (Mean = 0.50, SD = 0.12), while the highest was for integrity (Mean = 0.88, SD = 0.07). The overall usability score, as measured by SUS, was considered acceptable (Mean = 78.4, SD = 6.83). Most users reported no significant issues with using the app, except for difficulty understanding the language used in the interface, which was rated as a serious usability issue with a severity score of 3. Conclusions: Users perceived the DFU app as useful and efficient, particularly in detecting the risk of infection. Despite a noted language comprehension issue, the app demonstrated good overall usability and has the potential to support early intervention for decubitus ulcer prevention.
