Abstract

Introduction: Senior Integrated Health Care Post (POKSILA) is an elderly health monitoring activity at the community level. Kedungmundu Public Health Center has the largest number of elderly people and POKSILA in Semarang. Participant measurements are recorded manually through cadre notebooks and POKSILA forms owned by participants. Also, reporting is still limited, and the format is not uniform. This POKSILA data can be used to monitor the health condition of the elderly continuously.Methods: To solve the problem, the stages of service activities include an overview of the characteristics of the elderly, need assessment, activity preparation, and handing over monitoring books to community health centers.Results: Most participants in POKSILA were female (88%) and aged 60-74 (52%). Based on FGD, develop a recording book for cadres and a monitoring book for elderly participants. The book will be developed on cadre needs, Mentari Sehat Nusantara apps, and guidelines for elderly health. To develop the book, we consulted and brainstormed with the experts in Kedungmundu PHC about the design and content of the book. Within local data and cross-collaboration, the tools should be appropriate to local conditions and easily understood by the communities. This community-based service initiative has demonstrated the potential for improving health monitoring and service delivery for elderly populations in Kedungmundu, Semarang.Conclusion: By addressing key challenges identified in the FGDs and implementing standardized tools for health data recording, the initiative has made important strides toward enhancing the quality of elderly care in the region.

Abstract

Introduction: It is estimated that two-thirds of hypertension cases occur in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMICs), and 46% of individuals with hypertension are unaware of their condition. Early detection and effective management of hypertension are crucial for reducing its burden. Aims: This study aims to determine the progression time, the status of hypertension, and the factors that influence it. Methods: This study employed a longitudinal design. Secondary data was collected by 5 Poksila at the Kedungmundu Public Health Center in Semarang. This data was taken from January 2022 to August 2023 as 20 periods and analyzed using survival analysis. Results: A total of 332 participants were included in the analysis. Most of the participants were women (88.66%),  aged 45-59 years old (47.29%), obese (40.6%), and at risk due to waist circumference (77.01%). As many as 66.27% of participants experienced an increase in hypertension status from the previous month. The transition from normal blood pressure to pre-hypertension was the most significant, occurring in 61.82% of participants. The survival rate was 50% in the elderly male group (7.31±4.82 months) and in the female group (5.75±4.25 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that sex was associated with the progression of hypertension (HR 95% CI = 1.67 (1.03-2.69), p=0.03). Conclusion: Elderly males had a longer survival rate compared to females. Females are at higher risk of progression of hypertension. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to manage hypertension effectively based on sex and other risk factors. Routine monitoring for the elderly is essential as a primary preventive measure for hypertension.
