Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition affecting people across various age groups and genders. Age-related degeneration and gender-specific hormonal factors are believed to influence pain perception in LBP patients. Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of age and gender on pain intensity in patients with LBP. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 47 patients diagnosed with LBP at RSI Jemursari Surabaya. Pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Respondents were grouped by age (20–30, 31–40, 41–50, 51–60, >60 years) and gender (male, female). Pearson correlation and independent t-tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: Among the respondents, 89.4% were female, with the largest age group being 41–50 years (42.6%). There was a significant positive correlation between age and pain scale (r = 0.42, p = 0.003). Females reported significantly higher pain scores compared to males (p = 0.018). Conclusions: Age and gender are significantly associated with pain severity in LBP patients. Older individuals and females tend to report more intense pain. These findings highlight the importance of personalized pain management strategies considering demographic factors.

Abstract

The elderly population in Surabaya exceeds 350,000 individuals, presenting major challenges in musculoskeletal health, particularly osteoarthritis, which contributes to pain, functional limitations, and reduced independence. A preliminary community survey in Wonocolo District showed that 35.7% of older adults experienced knee pain, particularly during stair climbing, squatting, and sit-to-stand movements, indicating an urgent need for preventive and functional rehabilitation strategies. Families and community health cadres hold a key role, yet their knowledge and skills in assisting elderly mobility and joint-protection activities remain limited. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen family and cadre capacity in elderly rehabilitation and osteoarthritis prevention through structured education, functional exercise training, and health literacy improvement. The intervention was conducted from February to July 2025 and involved 40 elderly participants and 32 family caregivers and health cadres. Activities included community health education, hands-on functional exercise training, mobility modification for prayer movements, screening for common comorbidities, and pre- and post-test knowledge assessments. Qualitative feedback was obtained to evaluate perceived benefits and readiness for sustainability. Participants demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge, with post-test scores showing more than 85% achieving 8–10 correct answers compared to pre-program scores of 4–6. Elderly participants reported decreased stiffness, increased mobility confidence, and improved ability in daily movements such as sit-to-stand transitions. Families and cadres exhibited enhanced skills in supervising exercises and assisting safe transfers. Screening activities also identified undiagnosed hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia, which were referred to primary health care services. The program effectively enhanced health literacy, mobility skills, and caregiver involvement in elderly rehabilitation. Strengthened family and cadre participation supports program continuity and sustainable community-based healthy aging initiatives. Future programs should include periodic follow-up training, integration with primary health services, and expansion of digital education resources to reinforce long-term behavior change.

Abstract

Tuberculosis remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated environments such as Islamic boarding schools. This community engagement program aimed to improve awareness, early detection, and prevention of tuberculosis through the “Healthy Adolescents Without TB” campaign at Hidayatulloh Al-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Bangkalan. A total of 150 students participated in the activities, which implemented a participatory, faith-based health education model combining contextual learning, tuberculosis screening, and healthy behavior promotion. Interactive education sessions, audiovisual media, and testimonials from TB survivors significantly increased students’ understanding of disease prevention. Screening identified 13 students (8.6%) with chronic cough, 9 (6.0%) with weight loss, and 5 (3.3%) with night sweats, all referred for further evaluation at local health facilities. The integration of Islamic values into health messages enhanced cultural acceptance and motivated sustainable behavioral change. Overall, the program effectively strengthened adolescent health literacy and fostered active community participation, demonstrating that contextual, participatory, and faith-based education can serve as a replicable model to support Indonesia’s tuberculosis elimination strategy.
