Abstract

The aging process is a process that occurs naturally. When humans reach old age, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes occur in body tissues, thus affecting the body's functions and abilities. Various kinds of health programs for the elderly are implemented to improve the health of the elderly, one of which uses telehealth or telemedicine. This literature study aims to describe the use of telehealth in improving the health of the elderly. The method used was a literature review with the keywords elderly, telehealth, telemedicine, eHealth, and mobile health from several ClinicalKey Nursing, EBSCO, Proquest & Scopus databases and published from 2018 to 2023. Study results and review of 10 journal articles concluded that teleheatlh can be considered an important tool to improve aspects of the psychological health and quality of life of the elderly, potentially reducing access to health services, hospitalizations, and costs. Thus, nurses must improve their abilities in technology and nursing information systems. Further studies are needed regarding the use of telehealth in improving the quality of life of the elderly which can be applied in Indonesia.

Abstract

Frailty syndrome is a common condition among the elderly. Frailty has become a major health issue in the 21st century, affecting older adults and being associated with various negative outcomes such as decreased quality of life, increased mortality, hospital admissions, risk of falls, depression, and dementia. Objective: This study aims to identify and summarize the factors associated with frailty syndrome in the elderly through a systematic literature review. The findings are expected to serve as a basis for early prevention and management efforts of frailty in older adults. This study employs a systematic literature review method by analyzing 7 relevant journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. Articles were sourced from databases such as ProQuest, SpringerLink, and ClinicalKey for Nursing, selected based on topic relevance and publication quality to provide a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing frailty syndrome in the elderly. Based on the review of 7 journal articles, several factors influencing frailty syndrome were identified, including: age over 80 years, polypharmacy (use of multiple medications), gender, low body mass index (BMI), history of hospitalization, previous alcohol use, history of falls, living alone, presence of comorbidities, and impaired cognitive function. Frailty syndrome in the elderly is influenced by various risk factors spanning physical, psychological, and social aspects. Identifying these factors is crucial to support early interventions and preventive efforts, thereby improving the quality of life of older adults and reducing the risk of further complications. This systematic review can serve as a reference in developing strategies for the prevention and management of frailty among the elderly population.
