Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common health problems among the elderly and can significantly reduce quality of life due to complications such as systemic infections, kidney disorders, and recurrent infections. Older adults often do not recognize early symptoms of UTIs, as the manifestations are atypical and frequently mistaken as part of the normal aging process. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted at Panti Werdha Hana aimed to increase elderly awareness of the importance of early UTI detection through urinalysis as a screening method. This activity was carried out using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, which included urine testing for leukocyte esterase, nitrites, and protein, as well as educational sessions on UTI risk factors and prevention strategies. Among the 76 participants examined, 2 individuals (3.08%) tested positive for leukocyte esterase and 1 individual (1.54%) tested positive for nitrites, indicating potential infection. These findings suggest that simple urin tests can serve as an effective initial step in detecting UTIs early and promoting timely interventions to maintain urinary tract health and improve the overall quality of life in the elderly.

Abstract

Anemia remains a major public health issue with high prevalence and substantial impact on quality of life, especially among vulnerable groups such as older adults and women. This community service program aimed to improve early anemia detection through structured hemoglobin screening combined with evidence-based health education. Conducted at Asisi Church, South Jakarta, the program involved 99 adult participants who attended health sessions and underwent hemoglobin and hematocrit assessments using point-of-care testing (POCT). Results showed that 82.82% of participants were anemic, with a mean hemoglobin of 10.89 g/dL and hematocrit of 31.71%. Women had a higher proportion of anemia and lower mean hemoglobin levels than men. These findings underscore anemia as a persistent urban health problem influenced by demographic, nutritional, lifestyle, and chronic disease factors. The program provided early identification of at-risk individuals, enhanced knowledge, and strengthened the role of community health cadres, demonstrating potential for broader replication as a promotive-preventive strategy.
