Abstract

Introduction. Older people are associated with health decline and age-related disability. Person-centered integrated care is an action plan for the 'Decade of Healthy Aging 2021-2030' to ensure older people enjoy healthier lives. Purpose. To participate in the Decade movement, evidence of the progress in health coverage among Indonesians elderly from 2015 to 2022 should be presented. Methods. This study uses the 2015, 2020, and 2022 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) datasets with a sample of 94,326, 121,961, and 122,344 elderly aged 60 and over, respectively. Univariate analysis is used to determine the percentage of elderly utilizing outpatient treatment between 2015 and 2022. Results. The proportion of elderly without health insurance fell from approximately 45.4 percent in 2015 to 26.4 percent in 2015, and 26 percent in 2022. However, the proportion of older people with health insurance and a health problem but not seeking outpatient treatment rose from around 35.8 percent in 2015 to 45.2 percent in 2020, and 48.2 percent in 2022. Self-medication has been the highest prevalent reason for not utilizing outpatient treatment over time. Self-medication increased from about 57.5 percent in 2015 to 62.1 percent in 2020 and 73.9 percent in 2022. Only about 2.8 percent of the elderly did not utilize outpatient treatment in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion. As self-medication was the most common reason, community awareness and collaboration with health care providers should be encouraged to carry out person-centered integrated treatment.

Abstract

Background: Health insurance is essential for older adults to get healthcare services. Interestingly, only around half of older adults in Indonesia had used the health insurance for outpatient care. Recently, internet usage has increased and is considered a predisposing factor for seeking therapy. This study aimed to explore the internet use among older adults for outpatient therapy.Methods: The National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS)-core 2020 had included 29,905 older adults who had poor self-rated health and were unable to work or carried out other daily activities. Regression analysis was performed to determine the factors that influence the outpatient treatment.Results: Outpatient treatment utilization was highly associated with all predisposing factors such as age, gender, marital status, and education (p<0.05). Older adults who did not use the internet were 1.4 times more likely not obtain outpatient care (OR 1.362; 95% CI (1.207–1.537)). Those without health insurance had a higher probability of not seeking outpatient care (OR 1.643; 95% CI (1.551–1.741)) than those who had health insurance. Enabling factors, such as household wealth and living arrangements, were significantly associated with outpatient treatment utilization (p<0.05).Conclusions: Although health insurance remains the most significant factor, internet use is emerging as a way to increase coverage of outpatient treatment for the older adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia in developing countries is common. However, knowledge on the etiology of anemia among young adults needs to be further explored, including hemoglobinopathy, since Indonesia is located in the thalassemia belt, harboring 6-10% thalassemia carriers. The study aimed to explore the knowledge about anemia among young adults in Jakarta and the province of West Java. Methods: A descriptive analytical study design using secondary data from the National Demographic and Health Survey 2017 was employed. A questionnaire was distributed to unmarried young adults (n=5389) aged 15-24, including questions about anemia. Knowledge was further compared between places, genders, and age groups. Result: Only 70% of young adults have heard about anemia. However, the knowledge was poor. The definition of anemia was lack of blood (48%), and only 5% stated it was due to iron deficiency. The etiology of anemia was lack of vegetables (21%) and meat (18%) consumption. As a treatment, only 9% mentioned the iron tablets. None mentioned thalassemia carrier as an alternative cause of anemia. Conclusion: Young adults in Jakarta and West Java are poorly informed about anemia. Socialization to increase knowledge about anemia is imperative. Thalassemia carriers need to be introduced among unmarried young adults for better family planning in the future.
