Abstract

  Background: Elderly individuals in nursing homes often experience psychological challenges such as loneliness, decreased resilience, and mental health issues. Understanding the prevalence and determinants of these issues is essential for designing targeted interventions. This study aims to examine the prevalence of loneliness, resilience, and mental health issues among elderly patients at Long Term Care, and to identify the key factors influencing these variables. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed involving 126 elderly residents aged 60-90 years. Data were collected using validated instruments, including the UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Resilience Scale, and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Demographic and clinical data, such as age, gender, education level, length of stay, marital status, income, and history of chronic diseases, were also recorded. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics for prevalence and logistic regression to identify significant predictors of loneliness, resilience, and mental health. Results: The prevalence of loneliness was 58%, with a higher incidence among females and those aged over 70 years. Resilience was significantly lower in participants with chronic diseases and lower socioeconomic status. Mental health issues were identified in 45% of participants, with lower education levels, longer stays in the nursing home, and chronic illness as significant contributing factors. Logistic regression revealed that chronic disease history (OR = 3.32, p < 0.05) and length of stay >5 years (OR = 1.91, p < 0.05) were the strongest predictors of poor mental health outcomes. Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of loneliness, reduced resilience, and mental health issues among elderly residents at Long Term Care. Chronic disease and prolonged institutionalization emerged as critical factors influencing psychological well-being. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, such as structured psychosocial therapies, to address these challenges and improve the quality of life of elderly patients.

Abstract

Background: The increasing number of elderly causes various health problems, one of which is hypertension. If hypertension is not well controlled it can cause psychological and physiological problems. The combination of Benson relaxation therapy and lavender aromatherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to manage anxiety, sleep quality, and blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effects of lavender aromatherapy, Benson relaxation therapy, and their combination on anxiety levels, sleep quality, and blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. Methods: The research design is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach without a control group. The sampling selection in this study used purposive sampling. The sample consists of elderly individuals at Sentra Bekasi, totaling 90 respondents, divided into 30 respondents for each intervention. After interventions were carried out and data collected, data analysis was conducted using the MANOVA test. Results: p-value 0.000 indicating a significant effect of intervention type on sleep quality, anxiety, and blood pressure. The next test is the test of between-subjects effects, which shows a significant effect only on the variables of anxiety and blood pressure. The final test used is the Post Hoc Test (multiple comparisons), which indicates that the variables with significant values and a real difference in relation to the intervention are anxiety and blood pressure. Meanwhile, the variable of sleep quality does not show any real difference across each intervention. Conclusion: Overall, Lavender Aromatherapy is superior in reducing anxiety and blood pressure compared to the other two therapies.

Abstract

Background: Loneliness among the elderly is a critical public health concern associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. In Indonesia, rapid urbanization and shifting family structures may exacerbate this issue, yet data on its prevalence at the primary healthcare level remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of loneliness and identify key demographic correlates among community-dwelling elderly in the working area. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2024. Using consecutive sampling, 109 elderly participants aged ≥60 years were enrolled. Data were collected using the validated Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) and a structured demographic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions were used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that 74.3% of participants experienced mild loneliness, while 16.5% reported no loneliness, 8.3% had moderate loneliness, and 0.9% experienced severe loneliness. Significant demographic correlates included female gender (72.5%), age 60-69 years (78.9%), elementary education level (47.7%), unemployment status (69.7%), widowhood (51.4%), and low income (<IDR 1,500,000; 87.2%).Conclusion: Mild loneliness is prevalent among the elderly in this community, with distinct demographic correlates. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, community-based psychosocial interventions integrated into primary healthcare services to address loneliness among vulnerable elderly populations.
