According to Riskesdas 2018, the most non-communicable disease experienced by the elderly is high blood pressure (hypertension). Similarly in Malang, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the most common non-communicable diseases. According to a survey conducted in 2028, 74.3% of the elderly are still classified as able to carry out activities independently, while the rest have a mild to severe dependency rate. This condition was also found in one of the working areas of the Bersama Health Center, Klojen District, Malang City, namely Sukoharjo Village. The purpose of this activity is to solve problems related to non-communicable diseases in Sukoharjo. This activity partners with health cadres of Sukoharjo Village, Klojen District, Malang City. Methods used in this activity include education, practice, demonstration, and training divided into 9 face-to-face meetings. The results of this activity show that there is an increase in the knowledge and ability of health cadres who originally had a lot of knowledge, which was less than 84.2%, after the activity was carried out, it increased to a good level of 100%. Along with the practices and demonstrations carried out, all health cadres understand and can carry out demonstrations independently. With the implementation of this community service activity, it is hoped that cadres can disseminate the knowledge that has been obtained to informal caregivers in their respective regions. Keywords: elderly; informal caregiver; long-term caregiving

Abstract

Background: Older adults are vulnerable to age-related musculoskeletal changes that may cause joint pain and sleep disturbances. Persistent sleep problems can affect physical and psychological health and quality of life. Research on joint pain and sleep quality among older adults in nursing homes remains limited. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between joint pain and sleep quality among older adults at LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang. Methods: This quantitative correlational study used a cross-sectional design involving 40 older adults selected through total sampling. Joint pain was measured using the Pain, Enjoyment of Life, and General Activity (PEG) Scale, and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Spearman’s rho test at α = 0.05. Results: Among 40 respondents, 18 (45.0%) experienced moderate joint pain, 15 (37.5%) severe pain, and 7 (17.5%) mild pain. Most respondents had poor sleep quality (33; 82.5%). Spearman’s rho showed a significant relationship between joint pain and sleep quality (p = 0.001; r = 0.714), indicating a strong positive correlation. Conclusion: Higher joint pain was associated with poorer sleep quality among older adults. Comprehensive pain and sleep assessment and non-pharmacological pain management may help improve sleep quality.

Oleh karena itu, program ini direkomendasikan untuk diterapkan secara lebih luas sebagai upaya promotif dan preventif di tingkat komunitas dalam mendukung lansia yang sehat, mandiri, dan produktif. Kata kunci: active aging; edukasi kesehatan; lansia; simulasi Abstract The growing elderly population demands strengthening promotive strategies to support the implementation of active aging to improve the quality of life, independence, and social engagement of the elderly. One approach considered effective is education combined with community-based simulations to improve health literacy. This activity aims to improve the level of knowledge and skills of the elderly in implementing active aging principles through a learning process and direct practice. The empowerment approach is carried out in a participatory manner through group discussions, two-way dialogues, focus group discussions (FGDs), demonstrations, and systematic delivery of materials to encourage active participant participation. The activity evaluation used a pre-test and post-test design on 20 elderly individuals. The intervention included materials on physical activity, cognitive stimulation, social interaction, and psychological support, followed by simulations of application in daily life. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed an increase in knowledge levels after the intervention, with an average score increasing by 24.77%, indicating significant improvement. The implication of this activity is that an educational approach combined with direct practice can effectively improve the understanding of the elderly. In addition, the use of participatory methods makes the learning process more interactive, easy to understand, and relevant to the needs of the participants. The integration of education and practice also has the potential to drive tangible changes in health behavior. Therefore, this program is recommended for wider implementation as a community-level promotive and preventive effort to support healthy, independent, and productive older adults. Keywords: active aging; elderly; health education; simulation.

Abstract

AbstrakPeningkatan angka harapan hidup di Indonesia berkontribusi terhadap bertambahnya jumlah lansia dan meningkatnya risiko penyakit degeneratif, termasuk penurunan fungsi kognitif. World Health Organization menyebutkan bahwa gangguan kognitif dan demensia merupakan salah satu penyebab utama disabilitas dan ketergantungan pada lansia secara global. Penurunan fungsi kognitif tidak hanya memengaruhi kualitas hidup individu, tetapi juga meningkatkan beban keluarga dan sistem kesehatan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan lansia tentang pencegahan penurunan fungsi kognitif dan kemampuan dalam mempraktikkan senam otak (Brain Gym). Dalam jangka panjang, kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menginisiasi stimulasi kognitif berkelanjutan untuk mendukung kemandirian dan kualitas hidup lansia. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di RW 04 Kelurahan Kasin, Kecamatan Klojen, Kota Malang, dengan melibatkan 20 lansia. Berdasarkan analisis situasi, permasalahan mitra meliputi keterbatasan pengetahuan tentang pencegahan penurunan fungsi kognitif, belum tersedianya program stimulasi kognitif, serta risiko meningkatnya ketergantungan lansia di masa mendatang. Intervensi meliputi penyuluhan kesehatan tentang pemeliharaan fungsi kognitif, pelatihan Brain Gym, pendampingan, dan pemberdayaan komunitas. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dalam tiga kali pertemuan. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test pengetahuan, observasi kemampuan praktik, serta umpan balik peserta. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan nilai rata-rata pengetahuan dari 68,00 menjadi 90,50. Kemampuan mempraktikkan Brain Gym juga meningkat dari 47,50 menjadi 81,25, dengan 85% lansia mampu mempraktikkannya secara mandiri. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi dan pelatihan Brain Gym dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan serta keterampilan lansia dalam mendukung pemeliharaan fungsi kognitif. Kata kunci: fungsi kognitif; lansia; senam otak. Abstract Increasing life expectancy in Indonesia has contributed to a growing older adult population and a higher risk of degenerative diseases, including cognitive decline. The World Health Organization identifies cognitive impairment and dementia as major causes of disability and dependency among older adults worldwide. Cognitive decline not only affects individual quality of life but also increases the burden on families and healthcare systems. This community service program aimed to improve older adults’ knowledge regarding the prevention of cognitive decline and their ability to perform Brain Gym exercises. In the long term, the program was expected to initiate sustainable cognitive stimulation activities to support independence and quality of life among older adults. The program was conducted in RW 04, Kasin Urban Village, Klojen District, Malang City, Indonesia, involving 20 older adults. Based on a situational analysis, the identified community needs included limited knowledge regarding the prevention of cognitive decline, the absence of cognitive stimulation programs, and the potential for increased dependency among older adults in the future. The interventions included health education on maintaining cognitive function, Brain Gym training, mentoring, and community empowerment. The program was implemented through three sessions. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments of knowledge, observation of practical performance, and participant feedback. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 68.00 to 90.50. Participants’ ability to perform Brain Gym exercises also improved, with the mean performance score increasing from 47.50 to 81.25. Furthermore, 85% of participants were able to perform the exercises independently. These findings indicate that health education combined with Brain Gym training can improve older adults’ knowledge and practical skills in supporting the maintenance of cognitive function. Keywords: cognitive function; elderly; brain exercise.
