Abstract

Background: Aging is typically accompanied by physical and physiological decline, which causes people to act or refrain from engaging in a variety of activities, including those that are related to balance. Elderly people who have balance and coordination issues are more likely to fall. Objective To ascertain the proportion of senior citizens residing in the neighborhood. Method: An observational descriptive study was used for this investigation. Results of the Study: The average age of the 83 respondents was 66.86 years. According to the TUG Test, 90.36% of senior citizens are at little risk of falling. 91.57% of the elderly have a low risk of falling, according to the four square test; 83.13% of the elderly have normal balance, according to the FRT; and 54.22% of the elderly have normal balance, according to the FUKUDA. Conclusion : older people in metropolitan areas are well-balanced. This research highlights the value of a caring communal setting and easy access to medical resources in enhancing the well-being and equilibrium of senior citizens. Therefore, in order to build an age-friendly community and support the mobility and balance of the old, initiatives to improve their welfare must take a comprehensive approach that incorporates physical, social, and environmental components.

Abstract

Posyandu cadres play a strategic role in improving the nutritional status of young children through nutrition education and appropriate feeding practices. However, the cadres’ limited knowledge and skills remain a barrier to the dissemination of nutritional information to the community. This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres in nutrition education and infant feeding in RW IV Kupang Krajan, Surabaya. The methods used included a pre-test, education through interactive lectures, discussions, simulations (role-play), and a post-test to evaluate knowledge improvement. A total of 20 Posyandu cadres participated in this activity. The pre-test results showed that 60% of cadres had good knowledge, 35% had adequate knowledge, and 5% had insufficient knowledge. Following the intervention, the post-test results showed an increase in knowledge, with 95% of cadres demonstrating good knowledge, 5% adequate knowledge, and no cadres in the insufficient knowledge category. Furthermore, the results of observations using a skills assessment sheet showed that 85% of the cadres were able to provide nutrition education and feed infants and young children at a ‘good’ level. This activity was effective in improving the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres in nutrition education and feeding infants and young children. It is hoped that this capacity building will support better feeding practices for infants and young children and contribute to the prevention of nutritional problems in the community.
