Abstract

Stress in the elderly is a health problem that can affect their quality of life and physical and mental health. This study aims to determine the effect of breathing exercise on reducing stress levels in the elderly. The research design used was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test in the experimental group. A total of 32 elderly people were given regular breathing exercises for 4 weeks. Measuring tools used to assess PSS stress levels. The results of the analysis showed a significant decrease in stress levels, namely from 21.90 to 20.190 (p<0.001). Thus, breathing exercises have proven to be effective in reducing stress levels in the elderly. This research suggests applying breathing exercises as a non-pharmacological approach to managing stress in the elderly.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue with a high prevalence in the population, including in rural areas. This study aims to explore the relationship between lower limb muscle flexibility, measured using the Sit and Reach Test (SART), and the level of disability due to LBP, assessed through the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ), among 92 respondents in Adikarso Village, Kebumen. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between limited muscle flexibility and the level of disability due to LBP (p = 0.04). Respondents with low flexibility (<8 cm) tended to experience LBP with severe disability (41%-60%), while better flexibility (9-16 cm) was associated with moderate to minimal disability. These findings underscore the importance of muscle flexibility in the prevention and management of LBP and support a multidisciplinary approach that includes improving flexibility, physical activity, and lifestyle modifications to reduce the burden of LBP and enhance quality of life.
