Abstract

Older adults constitute a vulnerable population experiencing declines in physical, psychological, and social functioning, which may compromise their independence in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Maintaining ADL independence is essential for preserving quality of life, autonomy, and reducing dependency on family and long-term care services. Elderly associations serve as important community-based platforms that support social and psychological well-being; however, empirical evidence regarding ADL independence among their members remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the level of independence in activities of daily living among community-dwelling older adults. An analytical cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 101 elderly individuals residing in Kebakkalang RW VIII, Kemiri, Kebakkramat, Karanganyar. Independence in ADL was assessed using the Katz Index. The findings indicate that more than half of the respondents demonstrated independence in performing daily activities, suggesting a generally favorable functional status among elderly individuals engaged in community-based social groups. This level of independence reflects the potential role of social participation and community support in maintaining functional ability among older adults, particularly in early old age. These results provide important empirical evidence for healthcare providers, families, and community stakeholders to develop targeted preventive and promotive interventions aimed at sustaining and enhancing functional independence among older adults living in the community.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Decline in balance among older adults is one of the main factors that increases the risk of falls and reduces functional mobility as well as independence in activities of daily living. Balance training in the form of Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) is one of the exercise interventions that has the potential to improve balance and movement coordination in older adults. This study aimed to analyze the effect of SSE balance training on the functional mobility of older adults. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 24 older adults selected using a purposive sampling technique. Functional mobility, indicated by balance performance, was measured using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and after the intervention. The SSE intervention was administered over 12 sessions within 6 weeks. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed an improvement in balance scores after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of SSE balance training on the functional mobility of older adults. In conclusion, SSE balance training is effective in improving balance in older adults and has the potential to enhance functional mobility as well as independence in daily activities. ABSTRAK Penurunan keseimbangan pada lansia merupakan salah satu faktor utama yang meningkatkan risiko jatuh dan menurunkan mobilitas fungsional serta kemandirian dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Latihan keseimbangan berupa Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) merupakan salah satu intervensi latihan yang berpotensi meningkatkan keseimbangan dan koordinasi gerak lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh latihan keseimbangan SSE terhadap mobilitas fungsional lansia. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif pre-experimental dengan pendekatan one-group pretest-posttest. Sampel berjumlah 24 lansia yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran mobilitas fungsional lansia dengan indikator keseimbangan dilakukan menggunakan instrumen Berg Balance Scale (BBS) sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Intervensi SSE diberikan selama 12 sesi dalam 6 minggu. Analisis data menggunakan uji Wilcoxon dengan tingkat signifikansi p<0,05. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya peningkatan skor keseimbangan setelah intervensi dengan nilai p=0,000 (p<0,05), yang berarti terdapat pengaruh signifikan pemberian latihan keseimbangan SSE terhadap mobilitas fungsional lansia. Latihan keseimbangan SSE efektif dalam meningkatkan keseimbangan lansia dan berpotensi meningkatkan mobilitas fungsional serta kemandirian dalam aktivitas sehari-hari.
