Abstract

Aging of the skin that occurs in the elderly has an impact on skin moisture. There are various factors that can influence skin moisture, both unchangeable and changeable. Disturbed skin moisture can cause various skin problems and reduce the sufferer's quality of life. This makes it important to provide education and skin hydration screening to the public, especially the elderly. Education is carried out by conveying information about skin moisture, influencing factors, as well as ways to prevent and care for the skin. The increasing number of elderly people in Indonesia makes it important for us to pay attention to their health. Skin care that can be done to maintain skin hydration includes using moisturizers, humidifiers in rooms with low humidity, using soft soap without fragrance, avoiding long showers, using sunscreen, and clothing that is not too tight. It is hoped that education and screening can increase public awareness regarding the importance of maintaining skin hydration, especially for the elderly, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of public health in Indonesia.

Abstract

Indonesia, with its rapidly growing elderly population (12% today, projected to reach 20% by 2045), faces major challenges in sustaining the quality of life of older adults. Comprehensive strategies are required to keep the elderly active, healthy, and productive, including the role of nursing homes that provide integrated health services. One promising approach is the use of traditional medicinal plants, globally recognized but remain relatively unfamiliar among the elderly. This community service program aims to educate elderly nursing home residents on the use of traditional medicinal plants. This activity adopted an educational approach using interactive games. Sixty-three elderly participants were divided into six groups. The program employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative pre‑ and post‑test data to achieve a comprehensive understanding of its effectiveness. Initial knowledge was limited (83.33% scored 3–4), but after the educational intervention, four groups (66.67%) achieved excellent scores (9–10), one group (16.67%) attained good scores (7–8), and one group attained average scores (5-6). In the quiz, all questions (100%) were answered correctly. These findings highlight that interactive education can significantly improve elderly knowledge and motivation, offering a sustainable model for promoting the safe and effective use of traditional medicinal plants.
