Abstract

As the global population increases, the need for effective elderly care becomes increasingly urgent. Health cadres play a crucial role in improving the health and well-being of communities. One of the strategies to address this need is training health cadres, who can serve as vital links between healthcare providers and the elderly. In this training program, we aimed to enhance the role of health cadres in elderly care to support the physical, mental, and social well-being of the elderly. Through interactive exercises and providing health cadre pocketbooks, participants learned how to assess the individual needs of the elderly and increase their motivation to visit nearby healthcare facilities, thus improving the health status of the elderly in the region of Nagari Padang Kandis, district of 50 Kota. The activity involved 15 elderly health cadres. This training showed a 25% increase in the cadres' knowledge, as improved pre-test and post-test scores indicated. The health cadres now possess the skills and knowledge to effectively support the elderly community in their environment, fostering an independent and active elderly population in their daily activities and reducing dependence on the productive-age population. Furthermore, this community engagement activity, involving collaboration between the academic community of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas, and the Padang Kandis health center, will be conducted periodically to enhance the health status of the local individuals in their society life.

Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual pain that is often experienced by young women, with a global prevalence of 16.8-81%. In Indonesia, the prevalence reaches 54.89%, with adolescent girls being the largest group. Treatment generally uses analgesics, but it has side effects. Yoga as a non-pharmacological therapy can reduce pain through muscle relaxation. Purpose: Analyzing the effect of yoga therapy on the intensity of the degree of dysmenorrhea in female students of the Class of 2018 Undergraduate Medical Education Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. Methods: This research uses a pure experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and only group design, with a sample size of 32 people. The research instrument used in the study was a pre-test and post-test questionnaire, which contained VAS scores and guidelines regarding yoga movements. The questionnaire contains a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which consists of a vertical scale from 0 to 10 cm. Results:  The results showed there were no differences related to age. As many as 18% of respondents usually took analgesics, while 81.3% did not take analgesics to treat dysmenorrhea before yoga therapy. Meanwhile, after yoga therapy, 5 out of 6 respondents who usually consumed analgesics in previous menstrual cycles no longer consumed analgesics, and one respondent still consumed analgesics. Bivariate analysis showed a value of p=0.00 (p<0.05), which means there is a relationship between the provision of yoga therapy and the degree of dysmenorrhea. Where providing yoga therapy can reduce the intensity of pain in respondents who experience dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: This research concludes that there is a significant relationship between the provision of yoga therapy and the degree of dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

Uric acid is a crystalline acid, the end product of purine metabolism. Normal uric acid levels depend on age and gender, exceeding the normal limit indicates an increase in uric acid levels. One contributing factor to elevated uric acid is increased physical activity. This study aims to determine the Relationship between Physical Activity and Uric Acid Levels in elderly people at the Padang Kandis Health Center, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. This observational analytic study, with a cross sectional research design and includes 30 elderly participants meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, assessed through the Global Physical Activity Questionare (GPAQ). Uric acid levels were measured using Autocheck digital instruments and test strips. Data analysis utilized the Chi-Square Test. Results revealed an equal ratio of normal and high uric acid levels in the elderly (50%), and the highest level of physical activity was light physical activity (46,6%). High uric acid levels were found more in the elderly with low physical activity levels (46,3%). The Chi-Square Test yielded  p=0,208 (>0,05).This study found no significant relationship between physical activity and uric acid levels in elderly people at the Padang Kandis Health Center, Lima Puluh Kota Regency.
