Abstract

The escalating quantity of older individuals as a susceptible demographic necessitates significant consideration. The emergent challenges encompass not solely physical aspects but also psychological and societal dimensions, subsequently impacting their holistic well-being. An element contributing to the enhancement of the well-being of older individuals involves participating in communal exchanges. Past studies have suggested that seniors who regularly partake in various pursuits and participate in favorable social exchanges in their day-to-day routines may enhance their well-being. This study aimed to examine and analyze the relationship between social interaction and the quality of life among community-dwelling older adults. This study was a correlation with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was selected purposively, resulting in a sample of 228 older adults at the Harapan Raya Inpatient Health Center in Pekanbaru City. The data were collected using two validated questionnaire including social interaction questionnaire with Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.882, and WHOQOL-BREF with the Cronbach's α coefficient for the domains ranged from 0.41 to 0.77. To test the hypothesis regarding the relationship between the social interaction and the older adults quality of life, a chi-square test was employed. The research findings revealed a significant relationship between social interaction and the quality of life among older adults, with a p-value of 0.00 (<0.05) and an OR of 5.6. This implies that older adults with high social interaction have a 5.6 times higher chance of experiencing a good quality of life compared to those with low social interaction. Older adults with high social interaction tend to have a better quality of life compared to those with low social interaction.

Abstract

Physical complaints of cancer patients can cause a decrease in physical well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to develop independent nursing therapy to overcome these problems, including oncology massage. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a new technique of oncology massage, a combination of effluerage and acupressure methods to improve physical well-being. This research method used randomized control trial, pre and post study method, single blind. The population was cancer patients treated at Dr. Adhyatma Hospital, with a sample of 44 respondents. This study was conducted for 6 months starting from June to November 2024. Data collection tools used BPI, PMS, BFI and PSQI. Data analysis used the t-test. The results showed a significant difference in physical well-being (p<0.05) on day-1 compared to day-5 in the intervention and control groups. There was a significant difference in physical well-being (p=0.041), including indicators: pain (p=0.014), physical fatigue (p=0.033), and quality of sleep (p=0.024), on day 5 after being given a new technique of oncology massage in the intervention group compared to the control, but there was no difference in physical mobility (p=0.325). The conclusion is new technique of oncology massage is effective in improving the physical well-being of cancer patients, especially reducing pain and physical fatigue and improving the quality of sleep. Suggestions are recommended that this new technique can be used as a nursing modality therapy in cancer patient care in hospitals.
