Abstract

Depression is a common mental disorder in the elderly, associated with emotional distress, increased health care costs, the risk of suicide, and death from other causes. Depression in the elderly is characterised by persistent sadness, helplessness, anhedonia, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, psychomotor retardation or agitation, fatigue, impaired concentration, and suicidal ideation. Prevalence varies between 7 and 30%, higher in women. Risk factors include bereavement, social isolation, and somatic diseases, which are more common in old age. Depression increases the risk of dementia, morbidity, and mortality, emphasising the need for early screening. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method to screen for depression in 61 elderly participants at the Hana Nursing Home using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. The examination results revealed mild, moderate, and severe depression in 8 people (13.11%), 4 people (6.56%), and 2 people (3.28%), respectively. Early detection using GDS is essential for timely intervention, including counselling and medical advice, to improve quality of life and reduce depression-related morbidity and mortality in the elderly population.

Abstract

Lung health plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic functions and individual productivity, particularly during adulthood. Undetected pulmonary dysfunction may significantly reduce work capacity and overall quality of life. This community service initiative aimed to conduct early screening of lung function using spirometry among the adult population at Asisi Church, South Jakarta. The program was implemented through the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, involving health education, spirometry assessment, result evaluation, and the provision of medical follow-up advice. A total of 62 participants took part in the activity. The spirometric examination revealed average values of vital capacity (VC) at 69.53%, FVC at 61.58%, FEV1 at 68.69%, and FEV1% at 114.13%. All participants were classified as “normal/at risk,” indicating a need for continued monitoring despite the absence of clinical symptoms. This program highlights the importance of early detection of pulmonary dysfunction and the critical role of health education in preventing chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD. Through collaborative efforts between academic institutions and the local community, this initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of community-based preventive strategies in raising awareness of lung health and encouraging healthy lifestyle practices for sustainable quality of life.
