Abstract

This study explores the utilization of communication technology to alleviate loneliness among elderly residents in nursing homes, specifically at UPTD Pelayanan Sosial Lanjut Usia Tresna Werdha Natar, Lampung Province. As internet usage increases in Indonesia, older adults remain significantly underrepresented among users due to generational gaps in digital literacy. Through a community service project, this initiative sought to enhance elderly well-being by teaching them to use communication platforms like WhatsApp for maintaining connections with family and friends. The intervention included workshops, device usage training, and practical simulations aimed at reducing social isolation and fostering emotional support. Using a qualitative method, the study interviewed 29 elderly residents aged 70–79. The results revealed that 85% of respondents reported reduced feelings of loneliness after learning to use WhatsApp, noting improved emotional well-being and increased communication frequency with family members. Social virtual activities such as group chats and online events further engaged the elderly and contributed to their mental health. The findings underscore the critical role of nursing home staff and family support in sustaining elderly participation in digital communication. This project concludes that communication technology, when supported by structured training and emotional reinforcement, can be an effective strategy for enhancing the quality of life among the elderly in institutional care

Nowadays we have found lots of variations or various kinds of community innovations related to the needs of the community itself, so that the community is trying to make it easier so that their needs are met, especially in the current economic situation, the community which has just experienced economic improvements after the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this service is to increase public knowledge and understanding of the benefits of coconut shell waste as a mixture for making paving blocks. Currently, as the population increases, physical development is increasing, and the need for building materials is also increasing. For example Paving blocks are usually used for coating soil, such as vehicle parking lots, yards, alleyways, etc. Basically, paving blocks are only designed to withstand compressive strength. However, it cannot be denied that paving blocks will also receive tensile forces as a result of unstable soil conditions or imperfect installation. Most of the damage that occurred in the field was broken in the middle, not destroyed. The large amount of coconut shell waste that should be used as a basic ingredient for making paving block mixes. With the use of coconut shell waste as a mixture of materials, it is hoped that it can help the community as a building material so that it makes it easier and costs less.
