Abstract

Introduction:  Hypertension is a significant global health issue that often presents without symptoms, leaving many individuals unaware of their condition. Effective management and prevention of hypertension require increased awareness and education, particularly among the elderly population, who are at higher risk. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health counseling using leaflets in improving hypertension knowledge among the elderly at Integrated service post (Posyandu) community association (RW) 4 Gandatapa. Method: This descriptive quantitative study employed a pre-post design. Health counseling was conducted using leaflets at  Integrated service post  (Posyandu) community association (RW) 4 Gandatapa on July 16, 2024, involving 44 elderly participants aged 65-70 years. Knowledge levels were assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The intervention included distributing leaflets and conducting a discussion session to reinforce the information provided. Result:The study observed a significant increase in participants' knowledge about hypertension, with average knowledge scores rising from 43% in the pre-test to 63% in the post-test. Conclusion: The findings suggest that health counseling using leaflets is an effective method for improving hypertension knowledge among the elderly. However, to optimize the impact, future interventions should consider additional support methods, especially for those with limited literacy or visual impairments.

Abstract

Infectious diseases are challenging for the geriatric due to higher infection risk and atypical symptoms, leading to more diagnostic uncertainty. This study aimed to evaluate antibiotic use patterns among geriatric outpatients at Cilacap Regional General Hospital in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A retrospective study analyzed electronic medical records of geriatric outpatients who received antibiotics from January to December 2021. Data collected included demographic characteristics, types of antibiotics based on the AWaRe classification, route of administration, ICD-10 codes, and antibiotic use. The results showed that the age group of 65–69 years was the most frequent user of antibiotics, with solid oral formulations being the most commonly prescribed. Most antibiotics prescribed belonged to the Watch category, such as cefixime and levofloxacin. The most common diagnosis based on ICD-10 codes was Z098. These findings indicate a tendency toward the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which poses a risk of increasing antibiotic resistance. Therefore, stricter antibiotic stewardship interventions and continuous education are necessary to improve the rational use of antibiotics in the geriatric population.
