Abstract

Background: Aging can cause increased work of breathing and decreased respiratory muscle strength. Furthermore, males and females have different measures of lung function. This alone can become a reason for decreased lung function, especially if there is a history of Covid-19 infection which can cause further damage to the lungs. Purpose: This study investigates the correlation between age and sex differences in the Forced Vital Capacity value of Covid-19 survivors. Method: Using a cross-sectional design with a survey and observational method, this study involved 46 participants that were selected purposively based on their history of being positively diagnosed Covid. Data was collected using a questionnaire and observational form to collect data from the spirometer, then analyzed with the Pearson test and Independent Sample T-test. Result: The result shows that age (mean = 40,89) does have a significant correlation to FVC (mean = 2.3602), with p-value = 0,017 (< 0,05). On the contrary, sex difference does not have a significant correlation with FVC value, with p-value = 0,109 (>0,05). Conclusion: This study reveals that aging can further affect the lung function of Covid-19 survivors, especially when comorbid factors are involved. Moreover, both males and females have the same risk of decreased lung function after being infected by the Covid-19 virus. However, other factors may influence the lung function of Covid-19 survivors. Further research needs to be conducted to scrutinize those other factors.

Abstract

The financial literacy gap among Indonesian women, particularly housewives who shoulder primary responsibility for household financial management, presents a pressing concern that motivated this community service program. Employing a participatory action research (PAR) approach through WhatsApp-based lectures, the program was designed to strengthen financial literacy knowledge, encourage positive financial behavioral change, and improve the financial well-being of S****.id community members. Program material covered six core topics: budgeting, saving and emergency funds, debt management, basic investment, long-term financial planning, and financial goal setting. A total of 87 out of 124 participants completed the full program series, yielding a 70.2% retention rate. Average financial literacy scores rose from 46.4% to 73.4% (gain score +27.0 points), all financial behavior indicators showed significant improvement, and the post-program financial well-being index reached 62.37—accompanied by a meaningful growth in financial agency and transformative women's empowerment.
