Abstract

The increasing elderly population in Lumajang Regency, especially in Yosowilangun District, indicates progress in life expectancy but also brings challenges related to elderly care and dependency. To address these issues, a women's empowerment program was conducted in 2023 through the mentoring of Elderly Care Mothers, focusing on promoting elderly independence and caregiver support. In 2024, the initiative continued with the development of a Senior-Friendly Park equipped with ergonomic seating, sensory therapy, and recreational facilities under the concept of the Elderly Care Corner. This program aimed to improve the quality of life of older adults, enhance community involvement, and support caregiving efforts. The activities included park construction, public engagement, capacity-building for elderly care cadres, and the development of educational materials for caregivers. The outcomes demonstrated active participation of 75 elderly individuals within the first two months, a 32 percent increase in knowledge among 20 trained elderly care cadres, and reduced workload reported by 68 percent of caregivers. Improvements were also recorded in quality of life scores, particularly in life satisfaction and daily activities. Qualitative findings highlighted increased social interaction, motivation, and caregiver confidence. This initiative has encouraged replication in other villages and is expected to contribute positively to the well-being of the elderly population in Lumajang Regency.

Abstract

Nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae producing Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL), present a major challenge in healthcare. These bacteria reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics, worsening patient conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine in disinfecting medical devices contaminated with ESBL-producing bacteria. The methodology involves inoculating bacterial strains on plastic medical device surfaces and disinfecting them with chlorhexidine concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% for 10 minutes, with control groups using sterile water and 70% alcohol. The results indicate that chlorhexidine inhibited the colonies of E. coli and K. pneumoniae effectively, with the highest inhibition occurring at 7.5% for E. coli and at 2.5% for K. pneumoniae. This indicates that these bacteria respond differently to higher levels of chlorhexidine. Through cell lysis and membrane disruption, chlorhexidine shows vast promise as a disinfectant for medical devices against healthcare-associated infections.

Abstract

Nebulization therapy is an essential method of drug administration that enables effective delivery of medicationsto the respiratory tract in aerosol form; however, contaminated nebulizer components may serve as a source of pathogenicmicroorganisms associated with nosocomial pneumonia. This in vitro experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofchlorhexidine as a nebulizer disinfectant in eliminating pathogenic bacteria. The study employed a post-test control group designusing six groups of nebulizer chambers, consisting of two control groups and four intervention groups. Two clinically relevantbacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, were inoculated into the nebulizer chambers. The interventiongroups were disinfected using chlorhexidine gluconate at concentrations of 2.5%, 4%, and 5% diluted in 70% alcohol, and 2.5%chlorhexidine diluted in distilled water, while the control groups received sterile water and 70% alcohol, in accordance withexisting guidelines. After a standardized exposure period, bacterial growth was assessed using Colony Forming Unit (CFU) counts. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively to evaluate bacterial eradication across groups. The results demonstrated that 5% chlorhexidine diluted in 70% alcohol achieved complete bacterial elimination (0 CFU) for both bacterial strains, whereas lower concentrations showed residual growth. These findings indicate that chlorhexidine, particularly at higher concentrations, demonstrates strong disinfectant activity against common nosocomial pneumonia pathogens in nebulizer chambers. Nevertheless, the results are limited to in vitro conditions; therefore, further studies involving a wider range of microorganisms, standardized exposure times, and assessments of aerosol contamination during clinical nebulization are warranted to support its practical application.
