Abstract

Balance disorders in the elderly are a significant public health problem, often leading to a risk of falls and a decline in quality of life. The purpose of this activity was to provide education about low-intensity aerobic exercise to prevent functional balance disorders and the risk of falls in the elderly. The methods used included socialization, education, and direct practice. The results of the activity showed a significant increase of 15 points based on the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score and improvement in the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test results to 9 seconds. This shows the effectiveness of low-intensity aerobic exercise in improving balance and mobility. In addition, the socialization and education activities showed an increase in participants' understanding of fall risk by 85%. This program not only succeeded in reducing the risk of falls but also increased the self-confidence and quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

Health services for the elderly group need to be carried out according to their needs. To understand the health needs of the elderly group, it is necessary to examine the number of cases or prevalence of a case that is a problem for the elderly. Decreased physical functional activity in the elderly is a problem that is often encountered and due to degenerative diseases. Decreased physical functional activity in the elderly results in an increased risk of disability. There have been no reports regarding the number of cases of the elderly who experience decreased physical functional activity, the number of cases or prevalence of decreased physical functional activity in the elderly. The study used descriptive quantitative research method with a cross-sectional research design. The subjects of the study were elderly people aged 60-70 years who had no history of musculoskeletal injury/trauma and did not use walking aids. The research instrument used to measure the decline in functional activity was the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). The assessment results showed that 46 elderly people (76.7%) were in the category of low physical functional activity and 14 elderly people (23.3%) had good functional activity. The female elderly group consisted of 28 (75.7%) who had lower scores compared to male elderly. The 60-70 age group consisted of 30 elderly (78.9%) had a lower PASE score compared to the 71-80 age group. The housewife occupation group consisted of 22 elderly people (75.9%) had lower scores compared to the entrepreneur, laborer and retiree groups. The number of cases of decreased physical functional activity in the elderly is 46 individuals or 76.7%. The decline in physical functional activity was influenced by age, gender and occupation. To further explore the factors that influence the decline in physical functional activity.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among menopausal women and negatively affect quality of life, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. The decline in estrogen and progesterone during menopause often leads to insomnia, hot flashes, and anxiety. Non-pharmacological approaches such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and Breathing Exercise (BE) are considered effective, yet studies combining both methods remain limited, particularly in community-based settings. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combined PMR and BE on sleep quality in menopausal women within an Integrated Health Post for the Elderly (Posyandu Lansia) community. A preexperimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used. Twenty-six menopausal women, members of the Posyandu Lansia Dahlia II in Surakarta, Indonesia, were recruited through total sampling. The intervention consisted of PMR and BE, conducted five times per week for eight weeks. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Before the intervention, all participants reported poor sleep quality with an average PSQI score of 7.54. After eight weeks, 53.8% of participants showed good sleep quality, with the average PSQI score decreasing to 6.12. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores (p = 0.0001). In conclusion, the combination of PMR and BE significantly improved sleep quality in menopausal women and may serve as an effective, low-cost, community-based health promotion strategy.
