Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Senam Gokil" program incorporating a positive reinforcement strategy on improving the psychological well-being of elderly individuals with knee pain (osteoarthritis) in the Tlogosari area. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group model was employed. The sample consisted of 60 elderly participants meeting the inclusion criteria, divided into an experimental group that participated in the "Senam Gokil" program for four weeks and a control group that did not receive the intervention. A standardized psychological well-being scale served as the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. The results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant improvement in psychological well-being in the experimental group compared to the control group. The positive reinforcement provided during the exercise sessions contributed to enhanced feelings of self-worth, optimism, and social connectedness among the elderly participants. These findings indicate that "Senam Gokil" is an effective, simple, and practical intervention for improving the psychological well-being of the elderly, particularly those with physical limitations such as knee pain.
