Abstract

AbstrakStudi pendahuluan yang telah dilakukan pada bulan September 2025 bersama kader kesehatan Desa Purwosekar menunjukkan bahwa kader belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan khusus yang mengenai pendampingan lansia dalam menghadapi proses penuaan dan persiapan akhir kehidupan. Kondisi ini menyebabkan pendampingan yang diberikan lebih terfokus pada aspek fisik, sedangkan dimensi psikologis dan spiritual lansia sering terabaikan. Padahal, banyak lansia di Desa Purwosekar yang membutuhkan ruang untuk mengekspresikan pengalaman hidupnya sebagai bagian dari penerimaan diri dan persiapan menghadapi kematian. Menanggapi permasalahan tersebut, dosen STIKes Panti Waluya Malang akan melaksanakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat selama tiga hari dengan fokus pada pemberian edukasi psikososial melalui materi Reminiscence Therapy (terapi kenangan) yang ditujukan kepada kader kesehatan Desa Purwosekar. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat yang dilaksanakan di Desa Purwosekar memperoleh dukungan penuh dari STIKes Panti Waluya Malang, perangkat desa, serta seluruh kader kesehatan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara luring pada tanggal 18, 20, dan 21 November 2025 dan diikuti oleh 40 kader kesehatan dengan tingkat kehadiran 100% pada setiap sesi. Pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi penyampaian materi, diskusi, dan praktik keterampilan dasar kesehatan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan (kognitif) kader kesehatan, dibuktikan dengan kenaikan rata-rata nilai pre-test sebesar 5,8 menjadi 7,775 pada post-test atau meningkat sebesar 34,05%, melebihi batas minimal kenaikan yang ditetapkan sebesar 25%. Pada aspek psikomotor, seluruh partisipan juga menunjukkan peningkatan, tercermin dari hasil penilaian lembar observasi di mana semua mendapatkan skor 16 (100%). Selain itu, seluruh kader mengikuti kegiatan secara aktif, dan seluruh materi yang direncanakan tersampaikan dengan baik kepada peserta. Secara keseluruhan, program ini berjalan lancar dan berhasil meningkatkan kompetensi kader kesehatan Desa Purwosekar baik dari sisi pengetahuan maupun keterampilan Kata Kunci : kader kesehatan, lansia, reminiscence therapy. AbstractA preliminary study conducted in September 2025 with health cadres in Purwosekar Village revealed that the cadres had never received specific training related to assisting older adults in coping with the aging process and end-of-life preparation. This condition resulted in caregiving practices that were predominantly focused on physical aspects, while the psychological and spiritual dimensions of older adults were often neglected. In fact, many older adults in Purwosekar Village require a space to express their life experiences as part of self-acceptance and preparation for death. In response to this issue, lecturers from STIKes Panti Waluya Malang implemented a three-day community service program focusing on the provision of psychosocial education through Reminiscence Therapy for health cadres in Purwosekar Village. The Community Service Program received full support from STIKes Panti Waluya Malang, village authorities, and all health cadres. The activities were conducted offline on November 18, 20, and 21, 2025, and were attended by 40 health cadres, achieving a 100% attendance rate at each session. The implementation of the program included material presentations, discussions, and basic health skill practices. Evaluation results demonstrated an increase in the cadres’ knowledge (cognitive domain), as evidenced by an improvement in the average pre-test score from 5.8 to 7.775 in the post-test, representing a 34.05% increase, exceeding the minimum target improvement of 25%. In the psychomotor domain, all participants also showed improvement, as reflected in the observation checklist assessment in which all participants achieved a score of 16 (100%). In addition, all cadres actively participated throughout the activities, and all planned materials were delivered effectively. Overall, the program was successfully implemented and effectively enhanced the knowledge and skills of health cadres in Purwosekar Village. Keywords: health cadres, older adults, reminiscence therapy.

Abstract

Older adults with chronic illnesses often experience a decline in quality of life in physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. Gardening is a non-pharmacological intervention that is easily accessible, holistic, and has the potential to improve the well-being of older adults. In addition to providing light physical exercise, gardening can also stimulate motor skills, provide a sense of calm, and strengthen social interactions. However, the meaning that older adults ascribe to gardening activities still requires further exploration. This study aimed to explain the meaning of gardening activities from the perspective of older adults with chronic illnesses. This research employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, specifically older adults with chronic illnesses who actively engage in gardening activities at the Kenari 3 Community Health Post in Gunungronggo Village, Malang Regency. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews using an interview guide developed based on the study objectives. Data collection was halted after the 20th participant, as data saturation had been reached. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with the assistance of NVivo, including coding, code comparison, diagram development, and theme generation. Data validity was ensured through time and participant triangulation. Nine themes emerged: tranquility while gardening, social interaction, gardening as work, positive feelings, family support, light exercise, enjoyment of nature, improved health, and gardening challenges. Gardening holds significant meaning for older adults with chronic illnesses. Beyond serving as a form of work, this activity provides a sense of calm, happiness, fulfillment of social needs, and helped relieve physical complaints. Gardening has the potential to be used as a non-pharmacological intervention that supports improved quality of life for older adults.

Abstract

Background: Older adults are vulnerable to age-related musculoskeletal changes that may cause joint pain and sleep disturbances. Persistent sleep problems can affect physical and psychological health and quality of life. Research on joint pain and sleep quality among older adults in nursing homes remains limited. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between joint pain and sleep quality among older adults at LKS-LU Pangesti Lawang. Methods: This quantitative correlational study used a cross-sectional design involving 40 older adults selected through total sampling. Joint pain was measured using the Pain, Enjoyment of Life, and General Activity (PEG) Scale, and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and Spearman’s rho test at α = 0.05. Results: Among 40 respondents, 18 (45.0%) experienced moderate joint pain, 15 (37.5%) severe pain, and 7 (17.5%) mild pain. Most respondents had poor sleep quality (33; 82.5%). Spearman’s rho showed a significant relationship between joint pain and sleep quality (p = 0.001; r = 0.714), indicating a strong positive correlation. Conclusion: Higher joint pain was associated with poorer sleep quality among older adults. Comprehensive pain and sleep assessment and non-pharmacological pain management may help improve sleep quality.

Abstract

Abstrak Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader kesehatan dalam mendampingi lansia menjaga ketenangan batin melalui teknik Slow Deep Breathing di Kelurahan Bandungrejosari, Kecamatan Sukun, Kota Malang. Jumlah lansia yang cukup besar di wilayah ini menuntut adanya pelayanan kesehatan yang tidak hanya berfokus pada aspek fisik, tetapi juga pada kesejahteraan psikologis. Namun, kegiatan Posyandu Lansia selama ini masih didominasi pemantauan kesehatan fisik, sementara intervensi non-farmakologis untuk regulasi emosi dan ketenangan batin belum terintegrasi secara rutin. Permasalahan utama mitra meliputi: belum adanya pelatihan khusus tentang regulasi emosi lansia, belum terintegrasinya teknik Slow Deep Breathing dalam program rutin Posyandu Lansia, serta keterbatasan keterampilan kader dalam memandu latihan relaksasi secara sistematis. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang ditawarkan adalah pemberdayaan kader melalui edukasi konsep kesejahteraan psikologis lansia, pelatihan teknik Slow Deep Breathing, serta demonstrasi dan role play praktik memandu latihan pernapasan secara benar dan aman. Kegiatan melibatkan 45 kader kesehatan dan dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap, yaitu tanggal 3-5 Juni 2026. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah, diskusi, demonstrasi, dan redemonstrasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan kader, ditandai dengan meningkatnya peserta yang memiliki kategori pengetahuan baik dari 88,9% menjadi 93,3%, serta menurunnya kategori pengetahuan kurang dari 6,7% menjadi 2,2%. Evaluasi keterampilan juga menunjukkan bahwa 88,9% kader telah mencapai kategori kompeten dalam mempraktikkan dan memandu teknik Slow Deep Breathing. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader kesehatan dalam mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis lansia. Kata kunci: kader kesehatan; ketenangan batin; kesejahteraan psikologis lansia; Slow Deep Breathing. Abstract This Community Partnership Program (PkM) aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of health cadres in assisting older adults to maintain inner peace through the Slow Deep Breathing technique in Bandungrejosari Village, Sukun Subdistrict, Malang City. The significant number of older adults in this area necessitates health services that focus not only on physical aspects but also on psychological well-being. However, activities at the Older Adults’ Posyandu have so far been dominated by monitoring physical health, while non-pharmacological interventions for emotional regulation and inner peace have not yet been routinely integrated. The main challenges faced by the partners include: the lack of specialized training on emotional regulation for the elderly, the failure to integrate the Slow Deep Breathing technique into the routine Senior Citizens’ Posyandu program, and the limited skills of volunteers in systematically guiding relaxation exercises. Therefore, the proposed solution is to empower health cadres through education on the concept of psychological well-being for the elderly, training in Slow Deep Breathing techniques, as well as demonstrations and role-plays on how to properly and safely guide breathing exercises. The activity involved 45 health cadres and was conducted in three phases from June 3–5, 2026. The methods used included lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and re-demonstrations. The results of the activity showed an increase in the health workers’ knowledge, as indicated by a rise in the percentage of participants in the “good” knowledge category from 88.9% to 93.3%, and a decrease in the “poor” knowledge category from 6.7% to 2.2%. Skill evaluations also showed that 88.9% of the workers had achieved the “competent” category in practicing and guiding the Slow Deep Breathing technique. This program successfully enhanced the knowledge and skills of health workers in supporting the psychological well-being of older adults. Keywords: health workers; inner peace; psychological well-being of older adults; slow deep breathing.
