Abstract

Hypertension is a global health issue, particularly among the elderly, and can be influenced by psychological factors such as depression. This study investigated the relationship between depression and hypertension among the elderly in the SELANTANG community, Pasuruan City. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research involved 175 elderly participants from a total population of 240. Data were collected in August 2023 using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and blood pressure measurements. Results showed that most participants had isolated systolic hypertension, with an average systolic pressure of 142.58 mmHg and diastolic pressure of 83.00 mmHg. Despite a normal average depression score of 2, Spearman’s rank analysis indicated no significant correlation between depression levels and hypertension (p = 0.885 and p = 0.901). These findings suggest that hypertension management in the elderly should prioritize factors such as diet, lifestyle, and physical activity.

Abstract

The growing number of elderly individuals requiring long-term care (LTC) necessitates caregivers enhancing their understanding of this care through interactive educational methods. As the elderly population grows, caregivers play a crucial role in providing long-term care (LTC) to the elderly and meeting their basic needs, including medical care, psychosocial support, and daily living skills. Interactive educational methods can enhance caregiver knowledge about LTC, enabling them to provide more effective and efficient care, especially for those lacking medical or health knowledge. The purpose of this study is to examine how interactive educational techniques have increased caregivers' understanding of long-term care. The research sample consisted of 11 health cadres in the Ngemplak Community Health Center working area with a purposive sampling technique. Researchers conducted a pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge before and after interactive education about long-term care. Wilcoxon's test results showed a p value of 0.004. There's a meaningful difference in knowledge between pre-interactive education and after interactive education. Caregivers can continue to follow a variety of training or education related to long-term care, be able to identify or screen elderly persons who need long-term care, learn about long-term care for parents on a sustainable basis, and provide long-lasting care to elders that focuses on meeting the basic needs of the elder.

Abstract

Background: The growing older adult population in Indonesia has increased the need for community-based long-term care (LTC). However, families and community health cadres continue to face challenges in providing post-hospitalisation care, particularly in rural areas where LTC and transitional care services remain limited. This study explored the perspectives of family caregivers, cadres, and stakeholders on unmet needs and strategies to strengthen community-based LTC. Methods: A descriptive phenomenological qualitative study was conducted using purposive sampling. Fourteen participants were interviewed in face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews, and twelve stakeholders participated in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data were collected in community and primary healthcare settings in Turi District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and analyzed using conventional content analysis with NVivo 12, and reported according to the COREQ guideline. Results: Four interconnected themes emerged from the analysis: (1) existing caregiving practices involving physical, psychosocial, and spiritual support; (2) challenges in home-based LTC related to complex health conditions, caregiver burden, and limited resources; (3) priority needs for improving LTC quality, including caregiver training, supportive equipment, and multidisciplinary collaboration; and (4) stakeholder perspectives regarding the benefits and implementation challenges of community-based transitional care services. The findings generated a conceptual framework demonstrating that caregiver empowerment, community support, accessible resources, and multidisciplinary collaboration contribute to improved LTC quality and better outcomes for older adults. Conclusion: Older adults receiving LTC in Indonesian communities experience multidimensional unmet needs that require integrated responses from families, cadres, healthcare providers, and local stakeholders. Strengthening family-centered and community-based LTC systems, caregiver education, sustainable support mechanisms, multidisciplinary collaboration, and feasible transitional care pathways is essential to improve continuity, safety, dignity, and quality of life among older adults.

Abstract

Stroke is the most common neurological disorder where acute attacks can cause death in a short time or lifelong disability. Stroke patients have a risk of relapse or recurrent stroke. This study aims to determine the relationship between family knowledge and the prevention of recurrent stroke in the polyclinic of Santo Antonio Baturaja Hospital. This research is a type of quantitative research with a cross sectional design with accidental sampling technique, the population is 93 respondents on average every month with a sample using the Slovin formula totalling 75 respondents. In this study, the sample was a family who took care of their family members who suffered a stroke who visited the Santo Antonio Baturaja Hospital Polyclinic. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the level of family knowledge in the prevention of recurrent stroke has poor knowledge (53.3%). This is in line with the prevention of recurrent stroke attacks by the family in line with poor prevention (50.7%). The results of statistical analysis using the Spearman test showed a significant relationship between family knowledge and the prevention of recurrent stroke at the Santo Antonio Hospital polyclinic (pvalue=0.000) and r = 0.393. This study suggests optimising the role of the family in preventing recurrent stroke and providing extensive information on matters relating to advanced stroke disease and advanced stroke patient care at home
