Abstract

Background: Engaging in physical activity helps prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in the elderly, which affect both soft and hard supporting tissues of the limbs. Low physical activity levels in older adults often lead to MSD complaints, especially in the lower back, knees, shoulders, and hands. This study aims to evaluate the correlation of physical activity in the incidence of MSDs among the elderly.  Methods: This study employed analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique. The participants consisted of 50 older adults aged 60 and above. The research utilized the Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) to assess physical activity, while musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated using the Nordic Body Map (NBM). Data analysis was performed using the Spearman rank statistical test, facilitated by SPSS version 23 software.  Results: The findings showed a notable relationship between physical activity and the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in older adults, yielding a p-value of <0.001 and a correlation coefficient of -0.474, indicating a moderate level of strength. This means that the lower a person's level of physical activity, the higher the degree of Musculoskeletal Disorder complaints.  Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant correlation between low levels of physical activity and the prevalence and severity of MSDs among older adults at the Arum Sari Health Post. The findings emphasize the need to raise public awareness and investigate additional risk factors to enhance the prevention and management of MSDs in the elderly.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Stroke merupakan salah satu penyebab utama disabilitas pada lansia dan sering menimbulkan gangguan fungsi fisik, termasuk penurunan kekuatan otot, keseimbangan, serta kemampuan mobilitas. Banyak lansia penyintas stroke mengalami keterbatasan dalam melakukan latihan mandiri, sementara caregiver juga masih menghadapi hambatan seperti keterbatasan pengetahuan, metode pendampingan yang belum terstruktur, dan pencatatan manual yang kurang efisien. Menjawab masalah tersebut, dikembangkan aplikasi Geriatric Care yang memuat tiga komponen utama, yaitu pemeriksaan fisik (vital sign), pemeriksaan fungsional seperti Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST)(khusus untuk kondisi stroke ringan dan sedang), serta rekomendasi latihan berdasarkan tingkat keparahan stroke (ringan, sedang, dan berat). Program ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas pemberdayaan caregiver melalui pemanfaatan aplikasi Geriatric Care dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pendampingan dan kekuatan otot lansia penyintas stroke. Program menggunakan desain pre–post intervention pada 30 caregiver dan 30 lansia, dengan intervensi berupa pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi beserta pemberian latihan fisik sesuai rekomendasi, yaitu senam untuk lansia kondisi ringan dan sedang, serta latihan mobilisasi untuk kondisi berat. Program menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman caregiver sebesar 46,3% setelah pelatihan, peningkatan kualitas pendampingan yang lebih terarah berdasarkan rekomendasi aplikasi, serta peningkatan kekuatan otot lansia yang terlihat dari perbaikan waktu Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST) pada kelompok ringan dan sedang. Temuan ini memperlihatkan bahwa aplikasi Geriatric Care mampu membantu caregiver dalam melakukan pemeriksaan, menentukan latihan yang tepat, dan mendukung perbaikan fisiologis terutama kekuatan otot lansia. Disarankan agar pemanfaatan aplikasi ini terus dikembangkan sebagai media pendampingan digital berkelanjutan serta disosialisasikan ke komunitas lansia lainnya untuk meningkatkan efektivitas rehabilitasi pasca-stroke. Kata Kunci: Caregiver, Lansia, Kekuatan Otot, Aplikasi Geriatric Care, Stroke.  ABSTRACT Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the elderly and often causes impaired physical function, including decreased muscle strength, balance, and mobility. Many elderly stroke survivors experience limitations in doing independent Exercise, while caregivers also still face obstacles such as limited knowledge, unstructured mentoring methods, and inefficient manual recording. Answer this problem, a Geriatric Care application was developed which contains three main components, namely physical examinations (vital signs), functional examinations such as the Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST) (specifically for mild and moderate stroke conditions), and Exerciserecommendations based on stroke severity (mild, moderate, and severe). This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of caregiver empowerment through the use of Geriatric Care applications in improving the mentoring ability and muscle strength of elderly stroke survivors. The research method used a pre-post intervention design on 30 caregivers and 30 elderly people, with interventions in the form of training on the use of applications and the provision of physical Exercise according to recommendations, namely gymnastics for the elderly with mild and moderate conditions, and mobilization Exercises for severe conditions. The results showed an increase in caregiver understanding by 46.3% after training, an improvement in the quality of more targeted assistance based on application recommendations, and an increase in the muscle strength of the elderly as seen from the improvement in the time of the Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST) in the light and medium groups. These findings show that the Geriatric Care application is able to assist caregivers in conducting examinations, determining appropriate Exercises, and supporting physiological improvement, especially muscle strength in the elderly. It is recommended that the use of this application continue to be developed as a continuous digital mentoring medium and socialized to other elderly communities to increase the effectiveness of post-stroke rehabilitation. Keywords: Caregiver, Elderly, Muscle Strength, Geriatric Care Application, Stroke.

Tujuan program ini adalah memberikan pemberdayaan caregiver dalam mendukung tingkat kemampuan fungsional lansia melalui teknologi geriatric care di Yayasan Stroke Indonesia Yogyakarta. Metode program ini melalui persiapan, pre-test dan post-test, pengembangan dan uji coba aplikasi, pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi kepada caregiver, pelatihan cara pemeriksaan, evaluasi dan kontrol peningkatan pengetahuan caregiver, kemandirian lansia, serta ketercapaian luaran program. Hasil dari rata-rata tingkat pemahaman caregiver dalam penggunaan aplikasi sebelum program sebesar 51,8 dan sesudah program sebesar 98,1, terdapat peningkatan pemahaman caregiver sebesar 46,3%, yang menunjukkan bahwa caregiver mampu mengoperasikan aplikasi secara mandiri, memahami fitur pemeriksaan, serta melakukan pendampingan lansia secara lebih terarah. Hasil pengukuran kemampuan fungsional menggunakan indeks Barthel yaitu adanya peningkatan setelah diberikan latihan yang dipandu melalui aplikasi Geriatric Care. Sebelum mengikuti latihan, nilai rata-rata pre-testadalah 56,72, yang menunjukkan bahwa lansia masih berada pada tingkat kemandirian yang terbatas. Setelah mengikuti latihan serta pendampingan caregiver, nilai rata-rata post-test meningkat menjadi 64,97. Program ini memberikan hasil signifikan dalam upaya meningkatkan pemberdayaan caregiver dalam mendukung tingkat kemampuan fungsional lansia melalui teknologi geriatric care di Yayasan Stroke Indonesia Yogyakarta. Kata Kunci: Caregiver, Lansia, Stroke, Aplikasi Geriatric Care, Kemampuan Fungsional.  ABSTRACT Caregivers are companions who provide assistance to someone who is unable to care for themselves or has physical and mental limitations. Caregivers are very much needed by elderly stroke patients because most elderly patients are dependent and have difficulty performing activities independently. This decline process will disrupt and reduce the functional ability of the elderly in performing activities, resulting in the elderly needing assistance from others. The objective of this program is to provide caregiver empowerment in supporting the level of functional ability of the elderly through geriatric care technology at the Indonesian Stroke Foundation in Yogyakarta. This program method is through preparation, pre-test and post-test, application development and testing, application usage training for caregivers, examination method training, evaluation and control of caregiver knowledge improvement, elderly independence, and achievement of program outcomes. The results of the average level of caregiver understanding in using the application before the program were 51.8 and after the program were 98.1, there was an increase in caregiver understanding of 46.3%, which indicates that caregivers are able to operate the application independently, understand the examination features, and provide more targeted assistance to the elderly. The results of measuring functional ability using the Barthel index showed an increase after being given guided exercises through the Geriatric Care application. Before participating in the training, the average pre-test score was 56.72, indicating that the elderly were still at a limited level of independence. After participating in the training and caregiver assistance, the average post-test score increased to 64.97.  This program has a significantresults in efforts to increase caregiver empowerment in supporting the level of functional ability of the elderly through geriatric care technology at the Indonesian Stroke Foundation in Yogyakarta. Keywords: Caregiver, Elderly, Stroke, Geriatric Care Application, Functional Ability.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Stroke adalah pecahnya atau tersumbatnya pembuluh darah di otak yang menyebabkan terhentinya aliran darah ke jaringan otak, sehingga suplai oksigen dan nutrisi terganggu. Kondisi ini mengakibatkan kerusakan sel-sel otak secara cepat dan dapat menimbulkan berbagai gangguan neurologis, seperti kelemahan atau kelumpuhan anggota gerak, gangguan keseimbangan, gangguan bicara, serta penurunan kemampuan fungsional. Penyintas lansia stroke sering mengalami gangguan keseimbangan statis yang meningkatkan risiko jatuh dan keterbatasan aktivitas fungsional, sehingga memerlukan pendampingan caregiver yang terarah. Namun, proses pemeriksaan dan pemantauan keseimbangan di Yayasan Stroke Indonesia (YASTROKI) Yogyakarta masih dilakukan secara manual. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas pemberdayaan caregiver melalui pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi Geriatric Care dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pendampingan dan keseimbangan lansia penyintas stroke. Metode yang digunakan adalah pre–post intervention study dengan melibatkan 30 caregiver dan 30 lansia. Caregiverdiberikan pelatihan penggunaan aplikasi, khususnya fitur pemeriksaan Single Leg Balance. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman caregiver sebesar 46,3% serta perbaikan kemampuan keseimbangan lansia yang ditunjukkan melalui peningkatan hasil Single Leg Balance setelah intervensi. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi Geriatric Care efektif dalam mendukung pendampingan dan peningkatan keseimbangan lansia penyintas stroke di komunitas. Kata Kunci: Stroke, Lansia, Keseimbangan, Single Leg Balance, Caregiver, Aplikasi Geriatric Care.  ABSTRACT A stroke is a rupture or blockage of blood vessels in the brain that causes a cessation of blood flow to brain tissue, resulting in disruption of oxygen and nutrient supplies. This condition results in rapid damage to brain cells and can cause various neurological disorders, such as weakness or paralysis of the limbs, balance disorders, speech disorders, and decreased functional ability. Elderly stroke survivors often experience static balance disorders that increase the risk of falls and limited functional activities, so they require targeted caregiver assistance. However, the process of checking and monitoring the balance at the Indonesian Stroke Foundation (YASTROKI) Yogyakarta is still carried out manually. This community service aims to evaluate the effectiveness of caregiver empowerment through training on the use of the Geriatric Care application in improving the mentoring and balance skills of elderly stroke survivors. The method used was a pre-post intervention study involving 30 caregivers and 30 elderly people. Caregivers are given training on the use of the application, especially the Single Leg Balance check feature. Results showed an increase in caregiver understanding by 46.3% and an improvement in the balance ability of the elderly as shown through an increase in Single Leg Balance results after intervention. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the Geriatric Care application is effective in supporting assistance and improving the balance of elderly stroke survivors in the community. Keywords: Stroke, Elderly, Balance, Single Leg Balance, Caregiver, Geriatric Care App
