Abstract

Dementia is a syndrome characterized by a decline in intellectual ability that is severe enough to interfere with an elderly person's daily activities. It is still unknown whether specific variables are most frequently linked to dementia in nursing homes, despite the fact that a number of factors are known to cause dementia symptoms. The purpose of this research was to identify the risk factors for dementia in senior citizens residing in assisted living facilities. This study has a cross-sectional design. Eighty-six senior citizens, ages 60 to 90, who resided in two nursing facilities in Bandung and Garut, Indonesia, made up the research sample. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), which has a cut-off score of 24, is used to screen for dementia. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and logistic regression to examine the link between risk factors and dementia. Education (p = 0.001), BADL (p = 0.014), IADL (p = 0.023), phonemic fluency (p0.001), semantic fluency (p = 0.001), QoL-physical (p = 0.007), QoL-psychological (p = 0.002), QoL-environment (p = 0.001), diabetes (p = 0.013), and depression (p = 0.001) were all significantly correlated with dementia, according to the results. Logistic regression tests showed that education (p = 0.005), phonemic fluency (p = 0.001), and QoL-psychological (p = 0.043) are known to provide the most significant contribution to the occurrence of dementia in senior individuals in nursing homes. It is advised that healthcare professionals offer preventative and promotional actions for senior dementia prediction.

Abstract

Introduction: Broccoli and Gotu Kola (Brogandi) are known to improve cognitive function, but the combination of the two to improve cognitive function is still limited. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Brogandi in improving cognitive function in healthy elderly, mild dementia and moderate dementia.  Methods: This research used a pre and post test design on 38 elderly people at Griya Lansia Garut. Cognitive function examination uses the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) questionnaire. The dose of brogandi given is 2x500 mg/day for 14 weeks. Results: Brogandi can improve cognitive function in elderly with mild dementia (p=0.001). Conclusion: Giving Brogandi at a dose of 2x500mg/day for 14 weeks is effective in improving cognitive function in elderly with mild dementia. Meanwhile, in elderly people with moderate dementia, further research needs to be done in the form of increasing the dose and taking a longer administration time.

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic emerged abruptly and is characterized by its high transmissibility, resulting in heightened levels of anxiety and depression within the community. Indonesia represents one of the nations significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the onset of the virus, children and adolescents have experienced increased feelings of anxiety and stress. Emotional disorders can be precipitated in children and adolescents exhibiting symptoms of anxiety, fear, stress, restlessness, or worry. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore gender-related issues in the emotional landscape of COVID-19 among junior high school students. Method: The research employs a quantitative approach. Data collection was executed through a Google Form containing a series of statements. The instrument utilized for data gathering was the 2020 COVID Stress Scales (CSS), which comprises 36 statement items. The population under investigation consisted of 1,640 students, from which a sample of 328 junior high school students was selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The findings indicated that the emotional geography of students exhibited the highest mean score in the Xenophobia domain, with an average value of 3.394, while the lowest mean score was observed in the Compulsive Checking Emotional Geography, with an average value of 2.107; moreover, a statistically significant difference in mean values was noted. Emotional geography, particularly within the socio-economic domain, displayed differences between boys and girls, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: Distinct emotional differences between boys and girls were identified in relation to contamination, xenophobia, and socio-economic ramifications. It is imperative for schools and parents to provide psychological support, facilitate the dissemination of information, and offer behavioral guidance at both individual and community levels.
