Abstract

Background: Lower back pain is a pain syndrome that occurs in the lower back region as various causes. This disorder is most commonly found among students, especially in those who sit with the wrong body posture.Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine how does using the computer for an extended period causes lower back pain for students and to identify the prevention method of lower back pain because of using that equipment.Methods: This study used cross-sectional design using primary data through questionnaire and interview. The sample population of this research is Information and Computer Technics (IT Management) students in STMIK STIKOM University Bali. Using the entire sampling method yielded 32 samples. Results: There is a significant result of using the computer for a long time and sitting postures toward lower back pain complaints on students in STMIK STIKOM University Bali.Conclusion: Based on the results of the study is still very necessary to give attention and changes on the amount of time using a computer and sitting postures for students to support the health of students.

Abstract

Background: One in five Indonesian elderly was frail. Multicomponent exercise is one of the recommended strategies for frailty management in the elderly. However, it would be difficult for the elders to practice the exercise without proper exercise guidelines. In this study, a Multicomponent Exercise Program (MEP) module has been developed and implemented as exercise guidelines, but its effectiveness to improve physical performance of frail elderly has not been tested.Objective: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the MEP in the module to improve frailty, hemodynamic parameters, and balance in pre-frail and frail elderly.Methods: Quasi-experimental method was used in the study involving 17 participants (73.47 + 8.43 years). The MEP was conducted 3 times per week for 12 weeks, consisted of flexibility, balance, aerobic, and strength training. Categorical data were analyzed using McNemar's test while analysis of continuous data using paired t-test or Wilcoxon Signed Rank, α = 0.05.Results: The MEP decreased frailty scores, systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure (p < 0.000), and improved balance (p = 0.023) in the elderly. Furthermore, the program reduced the frailty status, as evidenced by 41.18% of frail participants becoming pre-frail and 5.88% participants shifting from pre-frail to robustness.Conclusion: The MEP in the module was effective to improve frailty, hemodynamic parameters, and balance in the elderly. However, this needs to be confirmed with larger samples and better research designs.
