Abstract

The health and well-being of older adults are major concerns in improving the quality of life of the elderly population. The visit of the Elderly Posyandu is one of the programs designed to meet the health and social needs of older adults at the community level. Older adults' knowledge and attitudes towards using Posyandu Lansia services have an important role in determining their level of participation in the program. This study aims to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of older adults toward participation in Posyandu Lansia visits. A quantitative research method with a cross-sectional approach was used in this study. Respondents were selected based on purposive sampling, with as many as 86 respondents. The data were analyzed using the Fisher exact test. Fisher's exact statistical test results are known to be knowledge variables p value = 0.003, attitude is known p value = 0.002, meaning there is a correlation between knowledge and attitude towards the use of elderly posyandu visits. It can be concluded that efforts to improve the knowledge and attitudes of older adults towards the Posyandu Lansia program need to be increased through various education and health promotion strategies. Involving families, communities, and related parties in supporting the participation of older adults is also important. Thus, increased participation of older adults in the visit of the Elderly Posyandu can be achieved, thus positively impacting the overall health and well-being of older adults.

Abstract

Insomnia merupakan gangguan tidur yang sering dialami oleh lansia dan dapat menurunkan kualitas hidup secara signifikan. Program CERIA LANSIA (Cegah Insomnia pada Lansia) bertujuan untuk mengedukasi dan memberikan intervensi sederhana berupa terapi rendam air garam hangat dan pijat kaki sebagai upaya non-farmakologis dalam meningkatkan kualitas tidur. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan kesehatan, demonstrasi praktik rendam kaki dengan air garam, serta teknik pijat kaki yang mudah diterapkan secara mandiri maupun dengan bantuan keluarga. Rendam air garam hangat diketahui dapat memberikan efek relaksasi, melancarkan peredaran darah, serta mengurangi ketegangan otot, sementara pijat kaki membantu merangsang titik-titik refleksi yang berhubungan dengan sistem saraf dan kualitas tidur. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman lansia mengenai pentingnya tidur yang cukup serta kemampuan mereka dalam menerapkan teknik yang diajarkan. Selain itu, sebagian besar peserta melaporkan perasaan lebih rileks dan kualitas tidur yang membaik setelah rutin melakukan terapi tersebut. Dengan demikian, kombinasi rendam air garam dan pijat kaki dapat menjadi alternatif intervensi yang efektif, aman, dan mudah dilakukan untuk mencegah insomnia pada lansia.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections among bedridden patients using urinary catheters. Proper fulfillment of elimination needs by nurses is considered essential for preventing catheter-associated infections; however, evidence on its relationship to UTI risk remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between nurses’ compliance with elimination care standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the risk of UTI among bedridden patients. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in an inpatient hospital setting involving 59 nurses and 59 bedridden, catheterized patients. Total sampling was applied to recruit participants. Nurses’ compliance with elimination care SOPs was measured using a validated questionnaire, while UTI risk among patients was assessed using a clinical observation checklist. Data were analyzed through univariate analysis and Fisher’s Exact Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The findings showed that most nurses demonstrated very high compliance with elimination care SOPs. The majority of patients were categorized as having no UTI risk, while a smaller proportion showed potential risk. Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between nurse compliance and UTI risk (p = 0.028). Patients treated by nurses with higher compliance were less likely to experience UTI risk. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening nurse compliance through continuous training, supervision, and monitoring to improve patient safety and nursing care quality.
