Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital health technologies has increased interest in tele-physiotherapy as an alternative or complementary approach to traditional in-person rehabilitation for older adults. However, evidence regarding its feasibility, accessibility, and clinical outcomes remains fragmented across different populations and delivery models. This scoping review aimed to explore and synthesize current evidence on the feasibility, accessibility, and clinical effectiveness of tele-physiotherapy interventions for older adults published between 2020 and 2025. A systematic search was conducted across four major databases, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, for studies published from 2020 to 2025. Inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed articles involving older adults (≥60 years) who received physiotherapy via telehealth platforms. Studies focusing on feasibility, usability, or clinical outcomes were included. After screening 490 articles and removing duplicates, 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted on study design, sample characteristics, interventions, and outcomes. Tele-physiotherapy represents a promising, cost-effective, and accessible rehabilitation strategy for older adults, particularly in contexts with restricted physical access to healthcare. Although feasibility and short-term effectiveness are well-supported, further research is required to evaluate long-term outcomes. Integrating tele-physiotherapy into geriatric care models could enhance continuity of care and promote functional independence in the aging population.

Abstract

This activity aims to improve the English speaking skills of tenth-grade students through the implementation of role play activities in a palliative context through Classroom Action Research (CAR). The research was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 32 students of SMAN 19 Jakarta. Data were collected through speaking tests and classroom observations. The speaking test assessed aspects of fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, pronunciation, and pragmatic appropriateness, while the classroom observations documented student participation, engagement, and their responses during the role play activities. The results in Cycle I showed that 46.87% of students achieved the “Good” category, while 53.13% were in the “Fair” category, with an average score of 49.35. The observation results showed moderate student engagement, with 62.50–78.13% of students showing positive behaviors such as active participation, attention, and willingness to use English in the role play. However, some students were still hesitant with a negative percentage of 25–37.50%. Improvement was seen in Cycle II. The proportion of students achieving the “Good” category increased significantly to 84.37%, while only 15.63% remained in the “Sufficient” category. No students fell into the “Poor” or “Very Poor” categories. Observations also confirmed stronger engagement, with over 87% of students demonstrating positive behaviors, including enthusiasm, active discussion, and confidence in using English. It can be concluded that the integration of role play with a palliative context effectively improved students’ English speaking skills and participation in class. Suggestions for repeated improvement were found to improve both linguistic competence and students’ communicative confidence.

Abstract

Stunting merupakan masalah kesehatan yang masih menjadi rencana pembangunan jangka menengah nasional. Stunting disebabkan oleh kekurangan gizi kronis yang diterima anak pada masa kritis pertumbuhan. Oleh karena itu, tingkat pengetahuan keluarga khususnya ibu menjadi penting sebagai langkah penanganan kasus tersebut. Untuk itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat dapat dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan kesehatan yang diberikan melalui program pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Penelitian dilakukan dengan memberikan pre-test dan post-test sebanyak 20 soal sebelum dan sesudah edukasi dengan melibatkan 30 partisipan. Hasil penelitian kemudian dianalisis secara univariat untuk mengetahui nilai dari setiap uji yang dilakukan dan bivariat untuk melihat pengaruh yang ditimbulkan. Analisis univariat menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan kategori yang dihasilkan antara pre- test dan post-test yaitu pada post-test sebanyak 100% responden termasuk dalam kategori pengetahuan tinggi. Kemudian, pada perbandingan bivariat, ditemukan adanya pengaruh yang dihasilkan oleh pendidikan kesehatan terhadap tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat (p = <0,001) mengenai pencegahan stunting. Dengan demikian, setelah pendidikan kesehatan dilakukan, diharapkan masyarakat mampu menerapkan langkah-langkah pencegahan stunting secara konsisten dalam kehidupan sehari-hari
