Abstract

Loneliness is a psychosocial problem commonly experienced by older adults, particularly those living in social care institutions. This condition can affect physical, psychological, and social health, thereby contributing to a decline in quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the effect of loneliness levels on the quality of life of older adults at the UPTD Geunaseh Sayang Social Care Institution for Older Adults in Banda Aceh. This study employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 55 older adults, with a sample of 30 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Loneliness levels were measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, while quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-OLD instrument. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with Somers’ D test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate loneliness, accounting for 18 respondents (60.0%), followed by low loneliness in 10 respondents (33.3%) and high loneliness in 2 respondents (6.7%). Most respondents had a moderate quality of life, accounting for 29 respondents (96.7%), while 1 respondent (3.3%) had a low quality of life. The Somers’ D test showed a p-value of 0.025 and a coefficient of 0.288, indicating a statistically significant relationship between loneliness levels and quality of life among older adults. Higher levels of loneliness were associated with lower perceived quality of life. This study is expected to serve as a basis for developing programs to strengthen social support and psychosocial care services for older adults in social care institutions, thereby improving their quality of life.

Abstract

Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural disasters that can cause significant loss of life and extensive damage, particularly in coastal areas such as Aceh Besar Regency. Schools located in disaster-prone areas need to maintain a high level of preparedness to minimize disaster risks and impacts. This study aimed to assess school community preparedness for earthquake and tsunami disasters at SMA Negeri 1 Peukan Bada, Aceh Besar. This study employed a quantitative method with a descriptive design. The study population consisted of all school community members, including students, teachers, and educational staff. A total of 222 respondents were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed univariately by presenting frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that, of the 222 respondents, the majority had a good level of preparedness, comprising 134 respondents (60.4%), while 88 respondents (39.6%) had a moderate level of preparedness. The respondents were predominantly female (60.4%), aged 15–20 years (89.2%), and students (89.2%). Furthermore, most respondents had participated in disaster simulations (76.1%). In conclusion, the school community at SMA Negeri 1 Peukan Bada generally demonstrated good preparedness for earthquake and tsunami disasters. Nevertheless, further efforts are needed to improve preparedness through regular disaster simulations, strengthened disaster education, evaluation of school emergency response plans, and enhanced collaboration with relevant agencies to continuously improve preparedness among all school community members.
