Abstract

Posyandu lansia is a community-based health service effort aimed at improving the quality of life for the elderly thru regular health monitoring. However, the utilization rate of posyandu is still influenced by various factors, including family support. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the level of utilization of elderly health posts in the Mongeudong Health Center Work Area, Banda Sakti District, Lhokseumawe City in 2025. This study uses a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all elderly individuals registered at the elderly health post, totaling 22 people. A sample of 22 respondents was selected using the total sampling technique. The research instruments are a family support questionnaire and a questionnaire on the utilization of elderly Posyandu. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The research results show that out of 21 respondents with family support, 16 people (33.3%) actively utilize the Posyandu. Conversely, out of 27 respondents without family support, 21 people (43.8%) are passive. Statistical tests show a ρ value of 0.001 < α (0.05), which means there is a significant relationship between family support and the utilization of elderly health posts. There is a significant relationship between family support and the level of utilization of elderly Posyandu. Elderly individuals with good family support tend to be more active in participating in Posyandu activities. It is recommended that families play a more active role in accompanying the elderly, and that community health centers strengthen family education programs to increase participation in Posyandu.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical phase for maternal health, as women undergo physical, psychological, and social recovery while being vulnerable to complications, particularly postpartum infections. Postpartum infections remain a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and are often associated with inadequate hygiene practices, delayed detection, and limited self-care knowledge. This study aimed to analyze the effect of postpartum self-care education on the prevention of postpartum infections among postpartum mothers in the working area of the Mongeudong Public Health Center, Lhokseumawe City. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 60 postpartum mothers were selected using purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess knowledge and attitudes, observation sheets to measure compliance with self-care practices, and clinical observations to identify postpartum infections. Statistical analyses included univariate analysis, Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests, and logistic regression. The results showed a significant improvement in maternal knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with postpartum self-care practices after the educational intervention (p < 0.05). The incidence of postpartum infection was significantly lower in the intervention group (8%) compared to the control group (32%). Postpartum self-care education was found to be a significant factor in reducing the risk of postpartum infections. In conclusion, structured postpartum self-care education is effective in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, and compliance, and in preventing postpartum infections. This intervention is recommended to be implemented as a routine program in primary healthcare services to enhance maternal health outcomes and reduce postpartum morbidity.

Abstract

Floods are natural disasters that can have significant psychological impacts, especially on vulnerable groups such as the elderly. This study aims to determine the effect of post-flood trauma on the sleep quality of elderly people in Teupin Banja Village, Muara Batu District, North Aceh Regency. The research method used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach with 32 elderly respondents. The results showed that the majority of respondents experienced moderate-to-severe trauma (62.5%) and poor sleep quality (65.6%). Statistical tests using Fisher's Exact test showed a p-value of 0.027 (p < 0.05). This demonstrates a significant influence between post-flood trauma and sleep quality in the elderly. Elderly people with moderate-to-severe trauma tended to experience poorer sleep quality than those with mild trauma.
