Abstract

Background: Aging leads to physical deterioration, which makes the elderly dependent on others for daily activities. One way to increase their independence is through physical activities such as elderly gymnastics. Regular participation in elderly gymnastics can restore physical function, improve joint, muscle, and movement coordination, and enhance heart function, leading to a healthier and fitter body. Method: The program began with a preparation stage, followed by elderly gymnastics training and counseling. This activity took place in one session, targeting both independent and assisted elderly individuals. The elderly gymnastics included basic exercises with a warm-up, core movements, and cooling down, lasting approximately 15-30 minutes. Afterward, an evaluation of the activity was conducted. Results: A total of 60 elderly individuals participated in the gymnastics session, which included warm-up, core, and cooling exercises. The participants appeared enthusiastic and easily followed the movements, especially with music accompaniment. However, some had difficulty with foot movements due to balance issues. After the gymnastics session, counseling was provided on the importance of doing elderly gymnastics independently. The elderly were very engaged during the counseling and asked several questions afterward. Conclusion: Elderly gymnastics can be incorporated as a routine activity in elderly health programs like posyandu, helping the elderly become more independent with a healthy and fit body. Regular participation in these exercises can improve their ability to perform daily activities independently.

Abstract

Background: Older adults are vulnerable to various physical and mental health problems, including degenerative diseases, stress, anxiety, mild depression, loneliness, and cognitive decline. This condition highlights the importance of a holistic approach in elderly health care. The Elderly Posyandu Program in Guwang Village has so far focused mainly on physical health, while mental health has received less attention. Methods: The program was carried out through training for cadres, covering elderly mental health, emotional support strategies, and the practice of Yoga Bali Marga Rahayu as a culturally based relaxation method. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests, post-tests, and field practice. Results: The pre-test showed that 60% of cadres only understood physical aspects, with an average score of 68%. After the training, the average score increased to 90%, with 90% of cadres able to explain the material and 100% reporting confidence in assisting the elderly. Program implementation showed that 86 elderly participants (91%) attended and enthusiastically engaged in yoga. Mental health education also successfully raised awareness among the elderly to reduce stress, avoid loneliness, and strengthen spirituality. Conclusion: Community health cadre training based on local wisdom effectively improved cadres’ capacity and had a positive impact on the quality of life of the elderly. This approach can serve as a community empowerment model to support elderly mental health holistically.

Abstract

Background: Family medicinal plants represent a local resource that communities can utilize to support health promotion and disease prevention efforts. Ketewel Village in Gianyar Regency has cultivated these plants; however, their utilization remains suboptimal due to the community's limited knowledge and skills regarding herbal plant processing. Centella asiatica is an herbal plant rich in bioactive compounds with the potential to be developed into easily consumable processed products. One initiative to enhance the utilization of centella asiatica involves training community health volunteers in the production of centella asiatica juice. Method: This community service activity was conducted in Ketewel Village, Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency, involving five health volunteers. The implementation method included providing education on the benefits of centella asiatica, demonstrating how to make centella asiatica juice, and hands-on practice by the volunteers. Evaluation was carried out by observing the volunteers' skills in the centella asiatica juice preparation process before and after the training. Results: The results of the activity indicate an improvement in the cadres' skills in processing centella asiatica into herbal juice. Prior to the training, none of the cadres were able to process centella asiatica; however, following the training, all cadres (100%) were able to independently produce centella asiatica juice according to the prescribed steps. The cadres also gained an understanding of the benefits of centella asiatica, processing techniques, and hygiene principles involved in herbal product preparation. Conclusion: Training on making centella asiatica juice is effective in enhancing the skills of community health volunteers in utilizing local herbal plants. This activity can serve as a community empowerment strategy to optimize the use of medicinal plants in home gardens and support health promotion and prevention efforts based on local resources.

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases, including hypertension and diabetes mellitus, remain major health concerns in Ketewel Village, Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency. Although the Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) program has been introduced, its utilization remains limited due to insufficient community knowledge regarding medicinal plant cultivation and management. This community service program aimed to improve farmers' knowledge and skills in cultivating medicinal plants to support community-based traditional health services. Methods: The activity was conducted on June 15, 2021, involving five members of the Subak Juan farmer group. A participatory approach was implemented through medicinal plant cultivation training and field extension using lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and learning by doing. Knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test, while practical skills were evaluated through direct observation. Results: The participants' mean knowledge score increased from 68 before the training to 89 after the intervention. In addition, 80% of participants (4 out of 5) were able to correctly demonstrate medicinal plant cultivation techniques according to the recommended cultivation procedures. Conclusion: The combination of medicinal plant cultivation training and field extension effectively improved farmers' knowledge and practical skills. This program has the potential to support the development of community-based traditional health services through the sustainable utilization of medicinal plants.
