Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has diverted attention from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, despite the ongoing need for substantial attention. In Indonesia, HIV/AIDS cases continue to fluctuate, with a significant cumulative number, highlighting the importance of community involvement in prevention and treatment efforts. The main barrier to addressing HIV/AIDS is the stigma and discrimination faced by People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), which hinders their access to healthcare services and social support. This article examines the approach of Community System Strengthening as a strategy to reduce stigma and discrimination against PLWHA. Through education, community involvement, and continuous counseling, it is hoped that society can become more supportive and reduce the social stigma PLWHA face. This study also provides community-based intervention guidelines as a solution to enhance the health and well-being of PLWHA in Indonesia.

Abstract

Program pemberdayaan kader lansia melalui pelatihan ROM pasif bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas perawatan bagi pasien stroke, khususnya dalam rehabilitasi fisik pasca stroke. Stroke merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kecacatan, yang dapat mengakibatkan gangguan motorik dan kognitif pada pasien, sehingga memerlukan intervensi rehabilitasi yang tepat. Pelatihan ini melibatkan kader lansia yang dilatih untuk melakukan latihan ROM pasif, yang terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan rentang gerak sendi dan kekuatan otot pada pasien stroke. Metode pengabdian masyarakat ini terdiri dari sosialisasi, pelatihan teori dan praktik, serta evaluasi terhadap keterampilan kader lansia. Hasil dari program ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan kader lansia mengenai rehabilitasi pasca stroke, serta perbaikan kondisi fisik pasien, termasuk peningkatan rentang gerak sendi dan kekuatan otot. Program ini juga berdampak positif pada kesejahteraan psikologis pasien, yang merasa lebih didukung dalam proses pemulihan. Diperlukan evaluasi berkala dan pendampingan lanjutan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan perawatan oleh kader lansia. Program ini dapat dijadikan model pemberdayaan kader di komunitas untuk mendukung pemulihan pasien stroke secara mandiri.
