Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in tropical countries, including Indonesia, with its incidence closely related to inadequate knowledge and preventive practices at the household level. The 3M strategy (draining, covering, and burying) is a key preventive approach that requires active parental involvement. This study aimed to determine the effect of 3M educational intervention on parents’ knowledge in preventing DHF. A quantitative study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted. The sample consisted of 52 parents selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the 3M educational intervention, conducted from January to March 2024 in the working area of Ardimulyo Public Health Center. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. The results showed a significant increase in parents’ knowledge levels after the intervention, with a marked rise in the proportion of respondents classified as having good knowledge. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of the 3M educational intervention on parents’ knowledge. In conclusion, 3M education effectively improves parents’ knowledge in preventing DHF. Continuous and structured health education programs are recommended as sustainable preventive strategies to reduce DHF incidence at the community level.

Abstract

Death is the final process of human life. In the course of a typical human lifespan, old age represents the final stage before death. The elderly’s perception of death varies significantly among individuals and is influenced by various factors, including previous experiences of loss, closeness to significant others, and living arrangements—whether residing with family or in a nursing home. This study aims to explore and analyze the perceptions of older adults regarding death at the Social Welfare Institution (LKS) LU Pangesti Lawang. Death is a topic often avoided in conversation, yet it is essential to understand, particularly among elderly individuals living in institutional settings. As a group that is inherently closer to the end of life, the elderly's perception of death may greatly affect their psychological well-being. This research employed a qualitative method using a phenomenological approach to understand the subjective experiences of older adults in interpreting death. The participants consisted of seven elderly individuals residing in LKS LU Pangesti Lawang, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the main themes related to their perceptions of death. The findings revealed six main themes that address the specific objectives of the study: Emotional unrest, End of life, Changes in perspective, Hopes for life after death, Frailty, Death as destiny Each of these six themes comprises several sub-themes, which were derived from categories and key phrases in participants’ responses to the research questions.

Abstract

Older adults with chronic illnesses often experience a decline in quality of life in physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. Gardening is a non-pharmacological intervention that is easily accessible, holistic, and has the potential to improve the well-being of older adults. In addition to providing light physical exercise, gardening can also stimulate motor skills, provide a sense of calm, and strengthen social interactions. However, the meaning that older adults ascribe to gardening activities still requires further exploration. This study aimed to explain the meaning of gardening activities from the perspective of older adults with chronic illnesses. This research employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, specifically older adults with chronic illnesses who actively engage in gardening activities at the Kenari 3 Community Health Post in Gunungronggo Village, Malang Regency. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews using an interview guide developed based on the study objectives. Data collection was halted after the 20th participant, as data saturation had been reached. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with the assistance of NVivo, including coding, code comparison, diagram development, and theme generation. Data validity was ensured through time and participant triangulation. Nine themes emerged: tranquility while gardening, social interaction, gardening as work, positive feelings, family support, light exercise, enjoyment of nature, improved health, and gardening challenges. Gardening holds significant meaning for older adults with chronic illnesses. Beyond serving as a form of work, this activity provides a sense of calm, happiness, fulfillment of social needs, and helped relieve physical complaints. Gardening has the potential to be used as a non-pharmacological intervention that supports improved quality of life for older adults.
