Jumlah lansia yang menderita penyakit kronis di Desa Gunungronggo cukup banyak yaitu 135 lansia. Berdasarkan buku kunjungan posyandu, belum semua lansia yang menderita penyakit kronis datang kontrol secara rutin salah satu alasannya karena tidak ada keluarga yang mengantar.

Number of elderly people suffering from chronic diseases In Gunungronggo Village there are quite a lot, namely 135 elderly people. Based on the posyandu visit book, not all elderly people who suffer from chronic diseases come for routine check-ups, one of the reasons is because there is no family to accompany them. The family stated that the reason for not taking them was because they were busy working and the elderly had no complaints, so the family thought there was no need for further examination or control. One of the roles of the family in caring for sick elderly people is to provide motivation, support and facilitate the health needs of the elderly. In this activity, the community service team empowered health cadres by providing education and training for health cadres in conducting family support assessments for elderly people with chronic diseases. The results of the pre and post test measurements showed that at the pre test stage the average knowledge of health cadres was 62.73, while at the post test stage it was found that the average knowledge increased, namely 77.27 after being given material and training. The evaluation results for the skills of health cadres are able to carry out 100% of all actions according to procedures. Participants responded and were very enthusiastic about the material. Therefore,it is necessary to increase education and training activities for health cadres, so the recommendation for the follow-up plan proposed by the team is that similar activities be carried out continuously  so that there is increased community independence in carrying out assessments of family support for elderly people with chronic diseases so that it can improve the quality of life of elderly people, especially those suffering from chronic diseases.  Keywords: cadre empowerment; assessment; support for elderly families; chronic diseases.

Abstract

Abstrak Peningkatan jumlah lansia berdampak pada meningkatnya masalah kesehatan, termasuk diabetes melitus (DM) tipe 2, yang menjadi risiko signifikan pada usia di atas 45 tahun. Berdasarkan laporan Posyandu di lokasi mitra, DM merupakan masalah kesehatan ketiga tertinggi setelah nyeri sendi dan hipertensi. Akan tetapi, kader kesehatan lansia masih minim pengetahuan mengenai deteksi dini DM tipe 2 dan penggunaan glucometer. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader dalam mendeteksi DM tipe 2 melalui edukasi dan pelatihan deteksi dini DM tipe 2. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata pengetahuan dari 63,33 menjadi 86,67 (36,84%) dan peningkatan keterampilan kader dari 57,00 menjadi 80,20 (40,70%). Temuan ini menunjukkan keberhasilan program dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader. Diharapkan program serupa dapat dilanjutkan dan diperluas untuk mengoptimalkan peran kader kesehatan lansia dalam deteksi dini DM tipe 2. Kata kunci: lansia; kader kesehatan lansia; pengetahuan; pelatihan; deteksi dini DM tipe 2 Abstract The increasing number of elderly individuals has led to a rise in health issues, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), which poses a significant risk for those aged over 45 years. According to reports from Posyandu at the partner location, DM ranks as the third-highest health problem after joint pain and hypertension. However, elderly health cadres still lack adequate knowledge about early detection of type 2 DM and the use of glucometers. This program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of cadres in detecting type 2 DM through education and glucometer training. The program results showed an average knowledge improvement from 63.33 to 86.67 (36.84%) and an increase in practical blood glucose measurement scores from 57.00 to 80.20 (40.70%). These findings demonstrate the program's success in improving the cadres' knowledge and skills. It is hoped that similar programs can be continued and expanded to optimize the role of elderly health cadres in the early detection of type 2 DM. Keywords: elderly; elderly health cadres; knowledge; training; early detection of type 2 DM.

Abstract

Aging is an inevitable biological process marked by a gradual decline in physiological function. This decline affects various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, and is accompanied by a reduced regenerative capacity, often leading to chronic diseases. The prevalence of chronic illness in individuals over the age of 65 is significant, reaching 60-70%. Anxiety frequently arises in older adults with chronic illnesses due to uncertainties about disease progression, dependence on caregivers, fears of death, and financial burdens associated with medical expenses. To aid older people in managing stress and anxiety, interventions such as autogenic training (AT) and relaxation therapy can be effective. This research employs a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental design, utilizing a one-group pre-post test methodology. This design includes an initial observation (pre-test) to evaluate changes following the intervention (post-test). The study involves primary data collected from 70 older adults participants who meet the inclusion criteria. The research instrument incorporates autogenic therapy procedures and employs the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to assess anxiety levels. Data analysis is conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results reveal a significance value (p-value) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the implementation of autogenic relaxation-based distress management therapy. The negative Z value (-7.124) signifies a reduction in anxiety scores among the older adults y following the intervention. Therefore, older adults individuals with chronic diseases who experience anxiety are encouraged to engage in autogenic relaxation exercises to alleviate their anxiety. Keywords: Elderly, Autogenic Relaxation, Anxiety, Chronic Illness.

However, limited CHW capacity remains a major barrier to optimizing this role. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat) aimed to enhance CHWs’ capacity through training on identifying social support needs. The activities were conducted using educational sessions, discussions, demonstrations, and practical exercises, accompanied by pre-test and post-test evaluations. The results showed an increase in CHWs’ knowledge, indicated by a decrease in the proportion of CHWs with poor knowledge from 11% to 0% and an increase in those with good knowledge from 64% to 84%. The mean knowledge score increased from 7.1 to 8.4. CHWs’ skills also improved, with the proportion of competent CHWs increasing from 5.4% to 27%, and the mean skill score rising from 9.91 to 12.62. Structured education and training were proven to be effective strategies for improving CHWs’ capacity to understand and identify the social support needs of informal caregivers. Strengthening this capacity is expected to reinforce the role of CHWs as a bridge between health and social services at the community level. Keywords: community health workers; social support; caregiver informal.
