Abstract

Background: The pre-elderly and elderly endure several changes in the function of their body systems as they get older. Changes can have an impact on parts of pre-elderly and elderly people's lives, including sexual activity. Purposes:  The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the sexual activity of pre-elderly and elderly women who visit the General and Elderly Examination Ward of the UPTD Mengwi II Public Health Center. Methods: This study is a quantitative descriptive study involving 88 samples selected through the Purposive Sampling technique. Data were collected using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. Result: The results of the study showed that the sexual activity of pre-elderly women had an average value of 56.33 which was considered not to have sexual dysfunction, while the sexual activity of elderly women had an average value of 53.79 which was considered to have sexual dysfunction (cut off point of 55). Age (p=0.020), education (p=0.003), disease history (p=0.000), menopause (p=0.000), and perception (p=0.000) are all associated with pre-elderly women's sexual engagement. Age (p=0.020), education (p=0.001), disease history (p=0.000), menopause (p=0.000), and perception (p=0.000) are all associated with senior women's sexual activity. Conclusion: Based on the research results, it was found that most of the low values in this study that led to sexual dysfunction were influenced by factors of medical history, the elderly who had mostly experienced menopause, and the understanding that engaging in sexual activity at an advanced age was considered taboo by the respondents.

Abstract

Background: The elderly are individuals aged ≥60 years who will experience functional changes in their body systems, including the musculoskeletal system, and put them at high risk of suffering rheumatoid arthritis. This disease causes joint pain and often affects the elderly's ability to carry out daily activities, thus having an impact on the elderly's level of independence. Purposes: This study aimed to determine the relationship between pain levels and the independence of elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis in UPTD Puskesmas Mengwi II. Methods: This research is a quantitative study that used a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 67 elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis who were selected by the Purposive Sampling technique. Data were collected using the Numerical Rating Scale and Barthel Index, which were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. Result: The results showed that the average score of pain level in elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis was on a scale of 4 (moderate pain), with an average independence score of 75.37 (mild dependence). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between pain level and the independence of elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis (p=0.000; r= -0.591). Conclusion: the pain level of rheumatoid arthritis impacts the elderly’s activities, so the nursing services can optimize pain management so that elderly people will not experience problems in carrying out their daily activities independently.
